Open Source@lemmy.ml•What features should a cross-domain open bulletin board have?
1·4 days agoI think in order for this to work, you would need to make it so that the server admins cannot see the contents of the communication. It wouldn’t work with public content
At that point, you might be better off using something like Matrix or a similar encrypted chat option.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•What features should a cross-domain open bulletin board have?
1·5 days agoIf the other party doesn’t want to communicate with you, then what are you trying to achieve?
I think I’m missing something from your premise. Who are you trying to connect to in this case?

Homelab@selfhosted.forum•Please consider running a NTP server in the NTP PoolEnglish
2·5 days agoimportant to note:
This is a long‐term commitment. You can remove yourself from the pool whenever you like, but due to misbehaving NTP clients and misguided configurers resolving a singular pool IP once and hardcoding it in a fleet of devices, it can take months, years, or forever for the traffic to stop. (I e‐mailed Dave Plonka about the 2003 Netgear–University of Wisconsin incident recently, and apparently they still see a bit of traffic from these routers.) For a long time after removing yourself from the NTP Pool, you will continue to get hammered on UDP 123 for years.
It’s more likely that some unfortunate new user will run this command, than any LLM. Especially because commands like this would be the first to be added to an LLM harness’ regex blacklist.

2·5 days agoIf you’re hosting it yourself, you wouldn’t be at the mercy of anyone else. You would get full control over your communication experience, along with any consequences that come along with that.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Neither Principled nor Pragmatic: Carney Closes the Door on Palestinian Students
1·6 days agoA PhD is not a standard university degree. It’s a research apprenticeship that takes place over multiple years around a specific question/research group. Even if a particular school is better (by some magazine’s questionable ranking system), someone might choose to go to the “worse” school if the research of a particular supervisor is aligned with their background.
As per this article, our schools have identified that these particular students have backgrounds that are in line with the placements that they applied to, enough so that some of the students are fully funded so that they can come here and help push the work forward.
But I’m pretty sure you understand this already, and are choosing to sealion anyway. This explanation is for anyone else that comes across this thread. I’m applying a temporary ban so you can think about how you should speak about other human beings.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Neither Principled nor Pragmatic: Carney Closes the Door on Palestinian Students
11·6 days agoThat’s not what the denial is about.
Despite two years of sustained pressure, Prime Minister Carney and Lena Metlege Diab, the minister responsible for student visas, remain unconcerned by the distress of these students. For many months, Diab’s spokespeople have claimed that applications for study visas can’t be processed without biometric testing. This is a ludicrous requirement given Israel’s total elimination of all relevant facilities in Gaza and past practices for Ukrainians, Afghanis and Syrians coming to Canada.
As for why your premise wouldn’t be grounds for a denial, by definition every immigrant petitions to be let into a country. You are picking and choosing when you see that as a request vs a protest.
Someone that is allowed in on their first request would have no reason to ask again. You can’t then point to their subsequent requests and say that they’re being “entitled” and “uncooperative”. Not to mention that these aren’t charity cases:
During his acclaimed Davos speech in January, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada would exercise what he called “principled and pragmatic” leadership on the world stage. Among his government’s pragmatic goals is attracting top international talent to Canadian universities. In keeping with this, Canada implemented an expedited 14-day processing period for PhD students seeking study visas and pledged $130 million (CAD) to assist “top international doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers [to] relocate to Canada.”
It is hard to square Canada’s enthusiasm for recruiting the world’s best and brightest with its stonewalling of some of Palestine’s most distinguished graduate students. Currently, 130 students from Gaza who have been accepted to study (and in many cases awarded full funding) in masters and PhD programs in Canada are in limbo. Some have been waiting nearly three years for a study visa.
Be better.
Is this a certain type of rabbit or is it normal to shave them while leaving a moustache?

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•found this helpful map of which countries are turkiye on turkiye's government website
8·9 days agoTo be fair, wikipedia does this too and I find it helpful. The problem is the color scheme
My friend managed to find a compatible eraser at some stationery store while travelling, but he couldn’t tell me exactly which one he went to. This was before we could just order everything online, The best part was that you could use up the eraser a little bit to get a snug fit, you can’t do that with the yolks.
I don’t know why more stores didn’t carry those erasers

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else find 'pseudoanimation' annoying?
6·11 days agoYea pretty much, it’s the same as old video games that had the sprite loop through an animation when you were standing still, instead of having the character freeze in place
If everything was still, I might as well be flipping through a PowerPoint

These are outrageous statements. They try to exaggerate the power of the underlying technology to get us to focus our attention on science fictional scenarios over the real harms of how AI is being deployed. But few of them shook me as deeply as a statement from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at Blackrock’s US Infrastructure Summit in March.
“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter,” said Altman, laying out an intensely dystopian future as just another business development. “One of the most important things in the future is that we make intelligence, to borrow an old phrase from the energy industry that didn’t quite work, ‘Too cheap to meter.’”

The cast and location make it so unique, I can’t think of anything similar.
I watched through the episodes just now, and it feels like catching up with old friends. Its nice to see all of the characters again
