I have Openfire set up with the monitoring service plugin which we have been using with Pidgin on the desktop. One of the things I’ve noticed is that when I sign in to another computer on the same account, I do not get a history of recent messages (which I thought the monitoring plugin was supposed to provide)....
Hmm ok. So Google just had something in between that presented as XMPP to pidgin? Google’s original chat was open so it was easy to connect to. I know that presented as XMPP because I still have the old account on my system (yeah I’m really bad about deleting stuff that no longer works). Then a few years ago Google decided to put their chat behind Oauth2 authentication, which required a specialized pidgin plugin and a bit of manual setup to get it to work. Those are the two versions of Google chat I’ve worked with. Before that I was using Yahoo chat, but we all know what a joke Verizon made of that.
So during this time I would log in to the same account both from home and from work. I think you might be right though, that all new messages only appeared on the latest machine to log in. And that appears to still be the case using Openfire.
After Google updated their chat, when I got in to work the new setup sent a copy of all the messages I hadn’t already seen on that client since the last time I signed in, so there was always a full history. Again this setup used an XMPP account in Pidgin, but it’s certainly possible that the plugin which worked with the Oauth2 authentication provided some new features to pull the history down? The odd thing was that some of my chat during the day would show up on my computer at home, but not all of the messages, and I never really understood what the difference was.
Regardless, is there a newer XMPP client you might recommend which is somewhat similar to pidgin’s look&feel, but actually provides a history when connecting from multiple machines? It would certainly be nice if all messages from myself and the people I spoke to were shown on both machines while they are simultaneously signed in, but I can make do without that. However I really do need the history to show up when I sign in to the next machine, and I’m hoping at some point to also get a client set up on my phone (gotta join that 21st century at some point!).

What do you mean there is no debate? You’re debating it right now.
Plenty of artists view it as theft when people take their work and use it for their own ends without their permission. Not everyone, sure. But it’s a bit odd to state so emphatically that there is no debate.
I haven’t been able to login for what seems like a couple of weeks. Server IP can’t be found. Changed VPN to Cyrus. Changed browsers. No luck. Does anyone know?
I know it’s odd, but I have this Chinese setup box with S905x processor, 2GB of RAM, and 500GB of USB Storage. I love it. Really really love it. I unlocked it and It runs OpenWRT with Docker installed and I wonder whether or not this board can be my OnlyOffice server. Thanks.
Scientists develop game-changing vaccine against Lyme disease ticks::Researchers have developed a way to vaccinate people such that the ticks that cause Lyme disease cannot be colonized by the bacteria that cause the disease.
This feels oddly fake. No journal of that name, nothing on INRAE (the research institute claimed to have published this). AI generated news? I wouldn’t doubt it. I know that Chat-GPT is very good at making fake scientific summaries (complete with fake references using real names in the field) why not fake science news? Also, the vaccine is for the tick… Not for us to use against the tick. For the tick…
Hell, they still prescribe meth in some instances. It’s called Desoxyn. Adderall, a drug so commonly used right now there’s a shortage (or was, very recently), is a strong amphetamine. They’re used for a quite a lot medically, and all have similar effects on the body by definition.
The issue at play here is amphetamines are doing a number on vasoconstriction and heart contractility, which then boosts heart rate and BP. This increases the chance of all that fun stuff like ischemic/hemorrhagic stroke, heart attack, or a dangerous dysrhythmia. When you add in anesthesia that has similar effects (vasoconstriction), you massively increase the odds of a complication. Thats without considering the already existing damage likely present in those abusing drugs of this sort.
I always found it odd that Trump sounds so different on audio recordings than when he is giving a speech. Cadence is the reason. I just want to know if someone taught him or he learned it on the fly. Knowing he had Hitler speeches in his nightstand makes me think he actually watched his speeches. That’s horrifying if true.
Yup, although the downside is that your posting style definitely shows off that you’re a Mastodon user.
Your use of the @ tag, the hashtag are all markers of a more Twitter-like user experience, and it makes you post stand out somewhat oddly for those using one of the lemmy instances. Either way, it’s really neat to be able to cross between those, since I vastly prefer the Lemmy UX as opposed to Mastodon’s, but I can still get a Mastodon’s content!
I don’t even think I will play the ODD after what WotC pulled out, but if I get to comment what I think of their shitty ideas, I will. Seriously, what kind of asshole decided to nerf the game’s weakest class and then make subclass that do everything it can do but better and for one of already strongest classes.
That was my take, given Putin history of the checyen false flag I was almost thinking false flag to get home support, it is only the fact Kyiv, while not actively admitting, still hint at responsible that changed mind. It does seem a odd tactic going for such a dense civilian heavily defended area for little advantage in stopping war machine.
Playing Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on the PC. Bought it on a whim and it’s quite a good game with gorgeous graphics. Lacking polish in some areas though, for example there are many oddly placed invisible walls as well as points where the character can get stuck. Anyway, trying to finish the game before Baldur’s Gate 3 comes out.
Well except he lost his second election due to his first presidency being a failure. Since then it’s only gotten worse for him so I’d say his odds of winning are even lower than the second election.

this guy got it right, but yea thanks for the info dump. I’m sure I can make a trivia night question outta that lol. He also managed to dig up an oddly relevant law as I live in Arizona.
Yea, for some reason following groups like lemmy communities and others seems broken. Others are aware and I don’t know where that’s up to in terms of a fix.
As for antennas, my experience is not to get your hopes up with them. Generally, anything moderately complicated/useful is unlikely to work. Their main use case, AFAIU is to apply boolean logic to hashtags. Additionally, you can define the source of posts that the logic will be applied to. Anything beyond that and you’ll be fighting the feature.
In your case, I don’t think it’s possible to combine a specific source such as a community (which will be seen as a user) with all users seen by the instance. You either specify users or servers or everything as the source.
My post above was trying to hint at this in a general sense … don’t let all of the bling and features fool you into thinking it’s a super powerful platform. It’s got some nice things going for sure, but many of the features are closer to being proof of concepts than powerful tools you can wield to meet your needs.
The stuff that works well are:
UI, which looks nice and is customisable (except on mobile where it’s too cluttered and small for many including myself)
Markdown (MFM specifically) with provides fun animations and other unique features. Add longer post lengths and reaction emojis to this too.
reply threading
clips (groups of bookmarks which can be made public, which is oddly useful given how simple an idea it is)
You’re right, my reply (to a comment) kept failing (looks like all of them posted, but wefwef told me they failed, so I spammed a similar comment multiple times, and it looks like one of them replied to the OP)
While it’s humorous how personally you are taking critiques of, chatGPT,
That’s because I see idiotic takes on AI every day and it gets annoying. Most people criticizing ChatGPT haven’t even bothered to test the things they complain about, but just parrot along stuff they heard elsewhere.
Conversationally. Since it has no concept of what 2+2=5 means.
You have a fundamental lack of understanding how ChatGPT work apparently. ChatGPT gets math wrong because it never sees the digits. Everything is tokens to ChatGPT. What ChatGPT is doing is like trying to do math with a dictionary, it fundamentally doesn’t work because numbers are not words and there is no dictionary large enough to hold all the numbers in existence. The surprising part isn’t that ChatGPT gets math wrong, but how much of it it gets correct despite the odds being stacked against it. Also small stuff like 2+2 it gets almost always correct. Models that operate on characters are in the works.
Even though it has no memory of previous conversations, you believe it somehow retains understanding of concepts it discusses.
It can handle a ~2000-25000 word text prompt. Everything in there it has a reasonably good chance of understanding, everything not it there doesn’t exist at all from ChatGPTs viewpoint. The fact that it can’t remember previous discussions is completely irrelevant to the matter if it can understand or not.
Even though it searches the internet to provide it the knowledge to answer questions,
It doesn’t. ChatGPT never had Internet access.
which is why it can cite sources that don’t exist
Here is the fun part: It cites plausible sounding non-existing sources because it understands, it has to to accomplish that. Imagining plausible future states of the world is impossible without having a solid understanding of how the world works. That those future states are imaginary comes from a lack of feedback and interaction with the real world, not from a lack of understanding. ChatGPT can’t tell you if a book exists in the real world, it has no access to a library, but it can tell you what makes a plausible name for a book.
Yeah, while I understand that there was a loss of customisation and that naturally the existing username tended towards people who likes the older style, I personally absolutely hated it to the point that I just couldn’t get into Reddit at all until the update. It also doesn’t really seem odd to me for a website to update it’s UI once in a while (tbh, I’d be turned off by one that doesn’t. Even the best UI today is still relatively speaking from the bronze age of UX design. If the best we have today is the best we can do I’ll be sorely disappointed.)
You can get unlucky on the odd occasion, theirs some torrents out there where the actual video file format isn’t friendly with streaming, but RealDebrid itself has been 100% reliable, for me anyway. If your using stremio their are settings you can change to increase the cache size, or you can play around with using a different video player within stremio, but in general the default settings should do the job.
I’m here to give an update to my journey from an Android to an iPhone after much debate in a previous post (from a different account). TLDR at the bottom....
That is odd. But I can definitely tell you that most of the solutions for casting your phone to a tv never worked for me on android. Smart cast almost never worked for me at all. But I will slightly miss the Dex software which was occasionally useful.
I think the best solution for me was getting an NVIDIA shield and using 3rd party apps anyways. It’s better than casting and works more consistently.
OpenAI just admitted it can’t identify AI-generated text. That’s bad for the internet and it could be really bad for AI models.::In January, OpenAI launched a system for identifying AI-generated text. This month, the company scrapped it.
I haven’t been in decision analytics for a while (and people smarter than I are working on the problem) but I meant more along the lines of the “model collapse” issue. Just because a human gives a thumbs up or down doesn’t make it human written training data to be fed back. Eventually the stuff it outputs becomes “most likely prompt response that this user will thumbs up and accept”. (Note: I’m assuming the thumbs up or down have been pulled back into model feedback).
Per my understanding that’s not going to remove the core issue which is this:
Any sort of AI detection arms race is doomed. There is ALWAYS new ‘real’ video for training and even if GANs are a bit outmoded, the core concept of using synthetically generated content to train is a hot thing right now. Technically whomever creates a fake video(s) to train would have a bigger training set than the checkers.
Since we see model collapse when we feed too much of this back to the model we’re in a bit of an odd place.
We’ve not even had a LLM available for the entire year but we’re already having trouble distinguishing.
Making waffles so I only did a light google but I don’t really think chatgpt is leveraging GANs for it’s main algos, simply that the GAN concept could be applied easily to LLM text to further make delineation hard.
We’re probably going to need a lot more tests and interviews on critical reasoning and logic skills. Which is probably how it should have been but it’ll be weird as that happens.
Right so you aren’t telling me stuff I don’t know here. Sorry to be blunt. I been dealing with atheist-theist arguments about the Fine tuning problem for years at this point. I know about survivor bias, I know about the misassignment of probability.
I gave you actual numbers. Based on what we know life like us should have predated us by billions of years. We have the first few terms of the equation solved. Number of stars, number of planets, number of liquid water zone planets, and we have a dataset that gives a hint at the odds of life starting. As I also pointed out any kinda barrier you throw up (passed sentient stage) gets crushed by the amount of time we are discussing.
So something is very wrong. Maybe planet formation happened much later than we think (no evidence for this), maybe the two star systems identified with Goldilocks zone planets were black swan events (given the data size of over 5,000 very unlikely), maybe life just about never gets going.
I am leaning towards the life formation stage being hard based on the data we are not seeing from Europa.
hi, i finally found some time to dig into this. Oddly, I think I got a functioning setup, although it did a bit differently in the end. If you may, please advise if I indeed reached completion, or I have it set suboptimal.
I installed Tailscale gui natively on my mac mini, and ios devices.
I tried following up on your advise of creating DNS records. First in Cloudflare, but since I already set a wildcard entry as type CNAME/*/mydomain.com/DNSonly/TTLauto I wasn’t allowed to add type A record with a similar wildcard entry. I need this existing CNAME line for Traefik to work my SSL certificates (as far i understood). Then I tried setting it up through the DNS>custom Namespaces within Tailscale admin console instead. An entry would look like service.mydomain.com and for ipv4 the local ip of the mac mini. But I wasn’t sure about the config as it wasn’t working. Then i tried the Tailscale ip 100.xx.xx.xx, to no avail.
I thought I needed to advertise routes for my local network, so I did. As similar to --advertise-routes=192.168.68.0/24. And later instead the docker network 172.23.0.0/16. Still didn’t do it.
As I am a NextDNS user I set the ID number in Tailscale>DNS>Nameservers as the Global nameserver and checked Override local DNS.
In the NextDNS config I defined a Rewrite function as *.mydomain.com to the Tailscale IP of the local machine 100.xx.xx.xx . And boom, I can access the servers from my idevices over the Tailscale vpn tunnel.
I then tried to tear down the setup again. It seems the advertise routes from (3) doesn’t do anything, so I removed it again.
