Ok but for real tho. The average American severely underestimates how far you can get on rice, beans, lentils and chickpeas.

TL;DR: Articles on mastodon will now automatically link to the author’s fediverse handle.

Seems like an essential feature to me. Curious to see if it’ll be in the beta.

By casting doubt on a related but fundamentally different bit of medical tech? Yeah that’s what we need: more folks questioning medicine based on pop science understandings of the technology.

Those are not the sort of model anybody in the field would use (medical CV with deep learning based analysis is a vibrant field with many breakthroughs in recent years). These are the sort of models tech bros are trying to sell to the public as general AI. There is a world of difference.

Which in this context just means multimodal LLM, correct?

Yeah this is probably just straight up misinformation. By no means is a diagnosis going to be made by a generalist multimodal LLM. Diagnosis is a literally a binary classification (although that is an oversimplification) and on medical CV you are optimizing on that directly.

I’m also watching the open book project.

If it just had epub support it’d be perfect

Having moderation work in an expected and consistent way is hardly the same thing as moderation tooling.

This is super exciting. I think one of the things a lot of people are missing here is the potential for small wikis to augment existing fediverse communities. Reddit’s killer feature has always been the massive treasure trove of information for hobbyists and niche interests. There is huge potential in the fediverse to take advantage of that sort of natural collaborative knowledge building process.

I think the big reason that nobody’s mentioned yet is simply that they were earlier. Back when projects like Tox and Matrix were first starting to pop up, telegram was already fully formed. Signal didn’t come until at least a year later and didn’t have feature parity until several years later. Telegram by contrast was a much closer experience to WhatsApp and Messenger, making the transition much easier, particularly for low-tech knowledge users.

Worth noting, they have since publicly apologized

Removed by mod

I don’t think it’s fair to write off the entire medium like that. They all share a common ancestor in Twitter and I think it’s fair to say the toxicity is inherited from there.

This is some toxic lemmy culture bullshit.

That is for the fediverse overall. Most of that comes from Mastodon. I personally have a little more faith in fedidb.org and their numbers. Also, worth noting the criteria for active users on Lemmy was recently changed to include votes, whereas before it only counted comments and posts.

mastodon, bluesky, and lemmy are just going to be footnotes in history

Only if they squander their lead. So long as they innovate in ways befitting the fediverse form, they will probably maintain their position. That said, it seems to me like modular systems like bonfire will probably leapfrog the existing platforms pretty quickly.

Absolutely wild that this is a group of minors.

This is a particularly silly opinion because Lemmy is an algorithmic social media platform. It’s just an algorithm that you happen to have access to documentation for. Almost certainly, any fediverse algorithm would have to work on the same principles as Lemmy (open and based on public interactions). Likes and upvotes are king. User similarity ranking is wildly inefficient on the fediverse due to its distributed nature and keyword systems are easily gamed (although some hybrid is possible).

This has always been the killer feature of the fediverse. Open non-exploitative content algorithms. So weird to see people against it for no reason.
