I'm just a spectre out of the nothingness, surviving inside a biological system.
One possibility is the Brazilian way to do law enforcement: blocking the domain and server IP addresses through ISPs.
I'm not Christian (I'm actually more of a syncretic Luciferian) and I'm not afraid of the "end of the world", because isn't logical to fear something that's certain to happen soon. Actually, the world, as in the Earth, will last for millions of years until the Sun swallows it, but Homo sapiens have not been needed a Sun to swallow them: they're swallowing one another as well as themselves, and that's exactly what are taking humans to the inevitable fate. Humans are destroying the nature. Humans are polluting the Cosmos (thousands of metallic mosquitoes around the Earth, we call them "satellites" and "space debris" from "rockets" and other apparatuses humans took there). There's no savior to come down from the skies. The many prophecies (Kali Yuga, Armageddon, Al-Qiyamah, Ragnarök and so on) are indeed self-fulfilling prophecies, as every form of life that is gifted (or, to use a better adjective, cursed) with the sentience is rendered self-destructive by nature. Like it or not, the "end of the world" has already started, and the very harbingers of doom are ourselves, our very human natures. It's beyond nationalities and religions.
Especially when ‘real life’ is getting harder with everything from the cost of living making the dream of ‘married with home and children’ less obtainable to hyper competitive online dating disenfranchising increasing proportions of both men and women
And there's also the climate factor. The world is going to get even more hellish in the next decades, not just hotter, but more extreme weather is near. Thanks, in parts, to the older generations (boomers), it won't be easier for the current generations, and it'll be even harder for the next generations (considering that humanity has not yet become extinct in the next few decades). It's just unfathomable to bring children to this future hellish world.
This remembers me of an AI Catholic Father who lost "his cassock" after hallucinating. His "AI Jesus" will hallucinate, too, it's just a matter of time.
(I actually like AIs, NLP as well as related fields, concepts and tools, but it's the reality of the current state of LLMs, they hallucinate; while hallucination is fine for tasks such as a "digital Ouija board" or surrealist/Dadaist poetry, it's not desirable for things that needs strict consistency, such as STEM knowledge as well as knowledge from dogmatic religions, in this case, Catholic matters and knowledge)
Considering that the vast majority of the modern ads are videos or images, they won't show up in such text-browser environments. Also, they depend on JavaScript, which isn't available through such text-browser environments.
A paper map doesn't route by itself, differently from map apps such as Google Maps, HERE Maps and OpenStreetMaps.
Mato Grosso and the Federal District are both squarey, too (especially the Federal District).
As a Brazilian, I agree, but allow me to make a slight addition:
Edit: I should have circled near Arizona, I guessed Las Vegas as being up north and I guessed wrong.
One could also use w3m or links. All the RAM-hungry things (such as CSS3, JavaScript APIs and heavy multimedia files) will be finally gone for good.
For now all I can think of are drugs (every single one, including opioids) and euthanasia (not just for terminal diseases, should be available for everyone who decides to).
Lol... it's funny how sometimes the reality seems like a simulation or a comic movie. The judge deciding against the Google monopoly is called Mehta. Remove the letter "h" to see this fun fact.
It's just a curiosity I had to point out. Good thing that Google's influence will become smaller. I mean, in a scale between 0 and 10, Google's power is going from 10 to 9.5 (Google still has Android, Google search, Google ads, among many other things), but it's better than 10.
Youtube isn't the only video platform being used as a search engine. TikTok is also often used as a "general-purpose search engine", and TikTok search works on both mobile and web versions. In some countries, such as Brazil, its usage significantly compete with Google.
you still pay for a license
Sorry, I didn't get what your point is, could you elucidate it? Because even for a physical medium, which can be held on hands, the user is still paying for a "license" (i.e. the license to use the software/game). Even for free (free as in free beer) games, the user is still receiving a "license", even though it's a gratis license.
but if you don’t own it why pay for it?
I'll use Terraria as an example for the following statement. The only way to "own" Terraria would be either owning or being Re-logic, the company behind Terraria. Even if Terraria was distributed through CD/DVD, the gamer owns just a copy, the copy that's written within the medium.
why pay for it?
It's worth mentioning that GoG has both free and paid games. For example, "Endless sky" is free, anyone can get it there without costs.
As for paid games, why pay for it? Well, it's a good question, why pay for a game? I guess the answer tends to be subjective and strictly personal to everybody that answers it. I paid for Terraria because it's a nice game to me. I paid for Slime Rancher, Kerbal Space Program, BeamNG Drive, among other games, because they're nice simulation/open-world games to me. Not everybody thinks these games are nice. I wouldn't pay for games such as Football Manager, DayZ, RDD, because I wouldn't play them, because they aren't the game genres I'd like. Therefore, I particularly pay for a game and play it when I really like the game.
Do you know what the worst thing about being from Antarctica is? Those country lists rarely include it. Penguins should invade and conquer the world, for the greatness of the Penguin Country.🐧🇦🇶
Beyond all of those, there's GOG.
I have the same feeling about Facebook. To me, my Orkut memories are more vivid than the ones from Facebook.
Best LLM/NLP for finding hapax legomena?

Best LLM/NLP for finding hapax legomena?
First of all, let me explain what "hapax legomena" is: it refers to words (and, by extension, concepts) that occurred just once throughout an entire corpus of text. An example is the word "hebenon", occurring just once within Shakespeare's Hamlet. Therefore, "hebenon" is a hapax legomenon. The "hapax legomenon" concept itself is a kind of hapax legomenon, IMO.
According to Wikipedia, hapax legomena are generally discarded from NLP as they hold "little value for computational techniques". By extension, the same applies to LLMs, I guess.
While "hapax legomena" originally refers to words/tokens, I'm extending it to entire concepts, described by these extremely unknown words.
I am a curious mind, actively seeking knowledge, and I'm constantly trying to learn a myriad of "random" topics across the many fields of human knowledge, especially rare/unknown concepts (that's how I learnt about "hapax legomena", for example). I use three LLMs on a daily basis (GPT-3, LLama and Gemini), expecting to get to know about words, historical/mythological figures and concepts unknown to me, lost in the vastness of human knowledge, but I now know, according to Wikipedia, that general LLMs won't point me anything "obscure" enough.
This leads me to wonder: are there LLMs and/or NLP models/datasets that do not discard hapax? Are there LLMs that favor less frequent data over more frequent data?
Myse en abyme: "How do you make a story within the story itself?" (a story by Bob DeLorean)
The following story was written by me, playing with the concept of myse en abyme (among other deeper concepts within the text, such as philosophical and esoteric intertwined concepts).
Myse en abyme is a type of art that contains the art within itself, creating a meta-narrative. I'm sharing this to bring this concept to those who were not familiar with it.
I'm using a made-up pseudonym "Bob DeLorean" to compose the text.
Please let me know if i'm sharing the wrong way (i.e. if I'm supposed to publish it through another platform and sharing links, instead of sharing the entire story through a Lemmy post).

How do you make a story within the story itself? - A meta-fiction By Bob DeLorean (my pseudonym for this Myse En Abyme kind of story)
"How do you make a story within the story itself? Bob was wondering that. 'You start by thinking about the steps. It's quite simple, son, take this ancient book. It's yours. Literally yours', answered the priest, while handing a dusty book entitled 'How do you make a story within the story itself' authored by 'Bob'.
He opened it, just to face his own story right at the first page: 'How do you make a story within the story itself? Bob was wondering that'.
– Hey, it's my story! – he wondered, scared. – Where did you get it?
The priest answered:
– A long, long time ago, some minutes before this sentence, Bob started to wrote. Look, son, you're a prophet, a really gifted prophet. You should be proud of yourself.
– It doesn't make sense. How should I... how should I know?
– You really wrote it, son. Turn the page.
Bob turned the page. The second page started... 'Bob turned the page. The second page started...'. The rest was blurry, but gradually faded into existence. His eyes couldn't believe it. He read the next line: 'The rest was blurry, but gradually fading into existence'.
– Which type of witchcraft is this?
– It's not, son. It's your story, you really should be proud of yourself.
– But you said that I wrote this, right?
– Exactly, son. You wrote that.
– And how I can't remember?
– You do remember, son. Read it again.
He tried to look the next pages. All blurry, because we're still going to the third page. Bob should know that.
– Wait.. I heard it. Who's that?
It's me, Bob.
– No, I am Bob. You're not.
I'm Bob, Bob.
– Wh... No way! Tell my last name.
It's DeLorean. Bob DeLorean is our name. He looks surprised.
– Of course I'm surprised. What happens with me, at the end?
You mean... with us. Well, for you, I have somber news. You vanish as soon as I stop writing. As for me, I dunno, I'll probably write other texts.
– It's not fair. Am I gonna die?
– Hey, son, are you talking to God? – the priest asked.
– N... no. I'm talking to a voice that's claiming to be myself. Take this book back.
A mysterious force was stopping Bob from giving away his own book. You can't do it, Bob. You know you can't. Only you can read the book, for now.
– He's claiming that only me can read the book. And he keeps narrating some story, this story, it's creepy.
– Oh, it's God! God's right, son! The book is yours. It's meant for yourself.
– You should try to read it, priest...
– I can't defy God, my son. If the book is yours, I can't even touch it.
– You touched it minutes ago.
– It was God's mission to deliver the book for you, son. I simply delivered it as God wisely ordered me.
Hey, Bob, are you listening?
– Uh... yeah?
Say to the priest that he can stop calling me as god.
– Hey... priest... Can you hear him?
– No, son. I can't hear God.
– He asked you to stop calling him "god".
– Beware of your words, son. He's God.
– But he literally asked me. Look...
Bob proceeded to the fourth page, where I said 'Say to the priest that he can stop calling me as god'.
– Wait... I c... I can read it, son!
– Exactly! See?
– If God asked to not be called God, I'll respect God's Will and I'll stop calling God as God.
Humph...
– He seems infuriated.
– I can see it, son. It's right below the prophetic paragraph you delivered to me.
I'm becoming tired. I should sto...
– No!! I'm gonna die if you stop!
I don't care, Bob.
– But I'm... I'm you, you said it before!
Yeah. I'm you, Bob. And I'm deciding to stop my own story: the ancient book was slim, with five pages only. The priest and Bob went to sleep. Don't worry, I'm taking care of them. Maybe we'll awake inside another book in the future."
Is it possible to be notified of replies to replies of my replies?
Firstly, sorry if this is not the adequate place for my question; if it's the case, let me know.
The title may seem confusing, so let me detail it: I'm more of a commenter person, and some of my comments are replied, and Lemmy notifies me of those direct replies. However, there are moments when those replies receive third-party replies, so my comment turns into some kind of "sub-thread", something that's interesting for me to read and follow. For those third-party replies, I don't receive notifications, so I have to access each direct reply that was notified so to find possible "sub-threads".
There seems to me to be no option to "receive notifications for this post/comment/reply", only the automatic opt-in of notifications for direct replies.
So really isn't there such an option? Or is this an instance-specific feature and the instance I belong to (thelemmy.club) don't have it?
