Omg I miss making forum signatures!!! My fav part about it honestly

Yeah but then we can’t sell you ppu licenses.

Deleting my cringe comments from 2012 was really cathartic, thanks 😂

Hehe we do a little scraping

What’s mull?

There was a premium lite for 7 bucks but they discontinued it in October as part of their ‘fuck all yall’ campaign

Good recommendations! I’d suggest doing some spacy tutorials as well, regarding the topics in the first paragraph. But arguably it’s possible nowadays to just start at transformers without any NLP knowledge, e.g. using huggingface’s AutoTrain or something similar. I wouldn’t recommend it, but you definitely could.

Thanks so much for the kind words 🥰

Thanks Beehaw admins for continuing to have a vision for a better internet and for reminding me once again that there really are online communities that try to be and do good.

I don’t post or comment a lot on Beehaw specifically, because I often feel like I won’t have the energy or head space to write something that really contributes to the community. It’s a strange sort of impostor syndrome related idea where I feel like the quality of content on Beehaw should be so high that I might not reach it without really trying. After all, I want the community to be the best it can be(e).

That being said, I do read a lot of what’s going on here and I especially appreciate the frequent posters on the communities I subscribe to. Taking into account the issues with lemmy as illuminated by the Beehaw admins here, I feel some sense of urgency - I want to protect Beehaw, its content and its community of kind people from disappearing, or having its continuation be threatened, simply because it exists on lemmy.

I guess in the end I just want to say that I really appreciate that the admin team is taking steps to preserve the wonderful community they have built and cultivated. While I haven’t been that excited about Beehaw potentially moving to a different platform, you make a very good case for it and I’d honestly be happy to follow Beehaw wherever it goes :)

Alright I see, thanks a lot for explaining

Ok yeah make sense! I’m definitely not a fan of Facebook’s and Meta’s data policies either.

But how is anyone going to control a decentralised platform tho? What you’re describing seems like it would only apply to users on instances controlled by Meta, i.e. on threads itself. Or maybe I still don’t understand how the fediverse works.

Can you explain how it’s 100% super obvious? I thought a popular platform with many users entering the fediverse might be good for exposure but it seems like the consensus here is that it’s actually bad. Help me understand how it’s bad?

I’ve read good things about donut, although I haven’t used it yet myself.

Good article :) it makes me happy to see this being explained in such a basic way because I sure as hell can’t manage.

Actually one of the conclusions from both the Science and Nature articles were that they mostly fuel far right radicalisation, not so much polarisation (which implies both ends of the political spectrum). Which I guess means leftists are generally either more capable of spotting misinformation or less inclined to act on it.

Because reproduction is a lot easier than education

I used to play tanks and snake

Jerboa is fine for me, I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks now. Last update also added a bunch of new functionality which is awesome. It’s still in alpha but seems to be on track to become a great app.

I read the article yes

Yup it’s a common sentiment since the GPT era. Trash in = trash out still applies and we should be focusing our efforts on collecting quality data. Unfortunately that’s not what funders are interested in. Grants generally just go to people who promise better metrics.
