TL;DR: Articles on mastodon will now automatically link to the author’s fediverse handle.

Seems like an essential feature to me. Curious to see if it’ll be in the beta.

By casting doubt on a related but fundamentally different bit of medical tech? Yeah that’s what we need: more folks questioning medicine based on pop science understandings of the technology.

Those are not the sort of model anybody in the field would use (medical CV with deep learning based analysis is a vibrant field with many breakthroughs in recent years). These are the sort of models tech bros are trying to sell to the public as general AI. There is a world of difference.

Which in this context just means multimodal LLM, correct?

Yeah this is probably just straight up misinformation. By no means is a diagnosis going to be made by a generalist multimodal LLM. Diagnosis is a literally a binary classification (although that is an oversimplification) and on medical CV you are optimizing on that directly.

He looks so happy

I think this is an incredibly outdated take. Python is just about the best general-purpose interpreted language out there right now.

The biggest problem with traditional forums is the fact that participation requires yet another account. This is the most significant thing that discord has going for it, nearly everybody already has a discord account. Federated forums mostly solve this issue tho

Damn it’s still wild to me that generating text is a solved problem.

I saw a highly upvoted post the other day about how a user would downvote all movie trailers because they considered them ads. A wild choice to make when you could just unsub from the movie communities? I think this is very much Lemmy’s brand of toxicity

This is some toxic lemmy culture bullshit.

The Mastodon posts are nearly always higher quality and more on topic than posts from lemmy users.

Only because it’s mostly broken. In a world where these features are fully functional, this is absolutely a killer feature. Lemmy has particularly bad support among the broader fediverse and that’s certainly impacting how much of it you see.

That is for the fediverse overall. Most of that comes from Mastodon. I personally have a little more faith in fedidb.org and their numbers. Also, worth noting the criteria for active users on Lemmy was recently changed to include votes, whereas before it only counted comments and posts.

mastodon, bluesky, and lemmy are just going to be footnotes in history

Only if they squander their lead. So long as they innovate in ways befitting the fediverse form, they will probably maintain their position. That said, it seems to me like modular systems like bonfire will probably leapfrog the existing platforms pretty quickly.

Absolutely wild that this is a group of minors.

There’s an interesting aspect of this that I have not seen mentioned yet. While this is true you are usually better off using your residential heater rather than an electric space heater because residential heaters are frequently over 100% efficient. That is, they deliver more heat for the energy expenditure than if you had converted the energy directly by redirecting ambient heat. Heat pumps are this same principle taken to the extreme.

This is a particularly silly opinion because Lemmy is an algorithmic social media platform. It’s just an algorithm that you happen to have access to documentation for. Almost certainly, any fediverse algorithm would have to work on the same principles as Lemmy (open and based on public interactions). Likes and upvotes are king. User similarity ranking is wildly inefficient on the fediverse due to its distributed nature and keyword systems are easily gamed (although some hybrid is possible).
