Question for the Fediverse hive mind. Is there any evidence that the models hallucination rates are getting ANY better over time?

I'm wondering if a 5 to 15% hallucination rate may just be the nature of the beast with LLM's and an unsolvable problem.

Here are the monthly expenses for my hosted fediverse services for May 2024:

WeHaveCookies.social: 36.69€

  • server costs: 20.71€
  • media storage: 12.29€
  • domain: 3.69€

Gehirneimer.de: 13.10€

  • server costs: 11.54€

Sadly the costs the media storage did not go down, yet, probably because I did the purge on May 2nd 🙄

Server costs will go down a bit, thanks to new server plans

Hatred in all its forms has no space in our societies.

We will do whatever it takes to counter it.

On the International Day for Countering Hate Speech, let’s team up to say online.

In December, we adopted a Communication which calls for a citizen-led discussion on ways to move from hatred and division.

You can also take part in that debate here → https://europa.eu/!BWc4Pq

@EUCommission

Maybe one day will take a similar step to these German organisations at https://byebyeelon.de and no longer support the hate platform with their presence. Say ..

Don’t worry! There’s probably an AI tool that’ll neatly revise it down to the precise target length. Even in iambic pentameter! 😬🤪😁🙄

I've noticed that the software version is shown in the NodeInfo endpoint:

I've always believed that displaying the software version allowed malicious users to determine which vulnerabilities affect your software.

For example, NodeBB sends x-powered-by header, but only ever sets the value to NodeBB, this has been the case for many years.

The other line of thinking is that relying on security by obscurity is fallacious, but since it's only one facet of a broader security posture (the rest of it being keeping up with updates, writing as secure code as you can, reporting/bounty systems, audits, etc.), I honestly don't see a problem with transmitting as little information as I can.

The downside of hiding that information is that sites that gather statistics on fediverse software use wouldn't be able to discern software versions for NodeBB in their charts, but I don't think that's necessarily a problem.

@julian mbin exposes the version as well 🙈

Are you ready for the release of 4.8??

zwarf ,
@zwarf@social.anoxinon.de avatar

@darktable Yes, really looking forward! I really love how fast Darktable is evolving. Thanks a lot to all the developers! I am right now editing a whole wedding shooting and I am glad there is no cloud, AI or license bullshit I have to deal with, and no need to use Windows. Just editing images and my customers love the results.

@smallcircles I added Fedi Foundation to the list of related initiatives. I marked it as collective, as I found no sign of it being a registered organization. If I should change that or anything else, just let me know.

@owta @secondtruth

Thank you!

Yes, collective is probably accurate enough. The e-zine is part of Social Coding movement. Which is called a "movement" as its a loose do-ocracy, not an intentional community.

@publixpace it's legitimately hilarious how I still get comments (and even emails!) from people who feel the need to "correct" me on my flags in my "winter cycling" video.

As if I wouldn't know the flags of Belgium and the Netherlands when I've lived in both countries.

Or how I could somehow use the wrong flag from Wikipedia when the country name is literally in the filename.

The best part is that they only ever notice one and don't realise that the other one is wrong, too. 🤣

My latest video is now live on YouTube!

Nearly 3 million people pass through Shinjuku Station every day, which is an insane number. But despite the massive number of people transported, the area around Shinjuku supports some great urbanism, with vibrant street life and lots of independent shops

@notjustbikes Just watched it. Those are insane numbers 🤯.

In Duitsland zijn het dan weer intrieste getallen: https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/kijk/2024/06/16/j13-trein-duitsland-mimir-d37d9628-df0c-48f9-94fd-155af0c311cc/

After two months of development, a LOT has happened in the Weird project.

Weird is a web application built to increase the agency of internet users. We are building three interconnected pillars as our foundation:

  • Independent social sign-in rooted in the OIDC standard as keymaster
  • A personal web space creator
  • An actually-social network of shared purpose

In two weeks we're starting our pilot with the Norwegian Buddhist Foundation!

Funny how this lovely article by @johnallsopp is practically like I asked an actually competent GenAI ‘please write a “state of the web” article from the POV of the Weird project’.

Will definitely refer to this in our future writings! 🫶
