>A sort of write only communication, even if something is read.
To completely spoil this, no fun allowed, I want completely authentic writing with LLM rewriting to allow for authenticity of writers.

>these things are by design not meant to reproduce info

this is literally exactly what they were designed for and it's the only thing they are really capable of, statistically generating text through a combination of an extremely crude and inefficient neural network architecture and an enormous hoard of looted intellectual property. you just said so yourself that they have a quite remarkable ability to reproduce text from their extremely compressed training data with the 96% figure for the harry potter series, and i've read about various studies where researchers reproduced other copyrighted materials with similar success rates, and i see this as an opportunity to address a very real problem.

if you remember, back in 2011 an MIT student named aaron swartz, as an act of protest against paywalls and the enclosure of public knowledge by private corporations, used the MIT computer network to download a bunch of formerly public scientific papers from JSTOR, a nominally public and non-profit digital library that charges exorbitant premiums for access to its data hoard, and he was indicted by the federal government for 13 separate felonies punishable by 50 years imprisonment plus $1 million in fines, and then he killed himself.

the whole purpose of this case was to make an example of aaron swartz and set a very important legal precedent - human knowledge does not belong to the public, it is intellectual property that belongs to the private oligarchs that assume ownership over it. ever since that precedent was set, the paywalling of the internet became the new normal with academic papers and news journalism and market statistics and educational materials and virtually every other kind of important information locked behind paywalls, closed off from the public. even individuals who pay for the most premium subscription package have strict access limits and only certain highly wealthy and influential organizations like universities and corporate-funded thinktanks are granted unrestricted (and highly monitored) access. and of course, after what happened to aaron swartz, nobody in their right mind who works in these institutions would dare to abuse this privilege and start mass downloading files for fear of the dire consequences.

when it comes to creative content, like works of fiction, obviously LLMs arPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

sorry i rewrote to add an addendum.

swartz had to use MITs LAN to have unrestricted access to JSTOR, tor wouldn't have helped him there. he could have used tor for distributing the files after downloading them, but he never got that far, he was caught and arrested and charged just for the downloading.

I have already put

lz4 and lz4_compress

into my /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, it still does not work.
>memory overcommitment
I generally do not run memory intensive applications, but I will look into this.

>>33489
Well, i can't reason about your your initramfs build process, if i don't even know what distro you're using. Always make sure /boot is mounted while rebuilding. For debugging your initramfs in general, i recommed removing root= from the kernel commandline and poking around with the emergency shell.

>>33490
In the end I just gave up and used the solution that already worked, thanks for helping anyway!

Basically all third party gentoo repos are unsigned, and ssl is trivial to mitm for any three letter agency. It was only recently that gentoo even started signing their main repo (and it wasn't even ssl so anyone could mitm to root your system).

maybe you can flash it with FOSS distro?

That's free market for you. So much choice! Now even monitors have AIDS in them.

OH BROTHER

The dishonesty of the GrapheneOS devs lies in their constant sophistry. Like here, where they deliberately confuse "clue" with "evidence." They are frauds.

>>33829
Just because leaked docs show agencies struggling with complex exploits doesn't logically guarantee backdoors don't exist. High security is a strong indicator, but treating it as definitive proof is a fallacy.

I had already won before I walked into this thread by virtue of not being a mental invalid who gets his dull-headed understanding of the world from Substack leftslop writers, but your inability to respond with anything but whiny sarcasm has strengthened my victory, it is true.

Wasn't writing preceded by the state need for transaction record?
The Inca indicate it's possible without it, using mnemonic technique.
The Maya, and Aztec indicate that there's no real relation to animals.
All this validates your point that there's no causation between these things.

There seems to have been great heterogeneity before the state.
But that the children are born good, we need only hold this constant.
Our felling of the forest of this goodness is what distinguishes us.

The idea that thought was originally mnemonic is compelling.
We can't speak. We can't listen.
Was reminded of the set phrases of Polya.
Wonder how much abstraction is just education rather than writing.

"With no memory, how can we call this home."
"The key is a direction."
"To think we're far too full."
Could we be empty of distraction, and full of the poetics of thought?

He's not wrong. It's just stupid to not use every tool available to achieve a goal, and you cannot realistically enforce a prohibition on the use of ai either.
People losing their mind over AI are just scared programmers are getting less important, and they are right to be scared, and everyone should be scared. But wasting your time writing code by hand won't stop AI.

you can do that if you want

What measures exist to prevent botting in projects like this?

>>33654
It's actually not as bad as it initially seemed. Uploads are much slower than downloads, and even those get faster once the node exists for some time and integrates, like i2p
>>33657
Many more hurdles. Freenet is a storage, i2p is a transport, so on top of it I'd need some decentralized storage model, which I guess could be torrent, but the torrent client needs to have an api and have advanced features like updateable torrents. So such a project would be an order of magnitude more complex for questionable benefit.

>>33673
Hate to break this to you i2p also transmits other people's data through your node
And i2p doesn't even attempt to "solve the problem" because it's anonymized transport, not anonymized storage.

>>33825
Spam prevention works the same as on regular imageboards with the added benefit that if a mod lets spam through you can unsubscribe.

Today had opencode add the thread posts, I didn't really like the way it structured the model code so I had to fix this.

Had another idea: a "difficult" POW for newly created accounts. This is roughly equivalent to banning everyone by default and having a default ban length. With this you could have actual user Actors instead of just the Group, but purely optional usernames, and still have bans that make some sense. Sort of think I no longer have the energy to dedicate to this project. Might just wait for the LLMs to get good enough to write this themselves.

Reincarnating this project once again.
Another cycle around the wheel.
Some interesting technical deviations.
Post-modernist feature set planned.
Skepticism of synthesizing the negated.
Leaving the unnegated pieces whole.
Designing to leave nothing behind.
Pragmatic enough to be completed.
Performance somewhat lacking.

Islands from Deno/Fresh.
Repos injected into functional cores.
Design to test, though I haven't yet.
MongoDB instead of translation or SQL.
Zod for schemas, and form validation.

Drafted a two-thirds page "spec", and stepwise "plan" for implementation of Group Person interactions. It's closer to what you'd use for a shed, than for the golden gate bridge, still way better than what have been doing. The only trouble which seems legitimate was that for threadiverse Groups to receive inReplyTos you have to Follow. The solution to this is that you can't Undo Follows, because this would break listening for inReplyTos, and so we replace it with a toggle for various visibilities. You also must Follow in order to Create(Note) on these other communities, which is not so bad.

guess tor is kill, rip; imagine how bad it would be if this site was compromised…

I didn't want to post this yet as the projects still in infancy.
But here's a somewhat topical list of features planned:

• Follows and feeds (including for remote).
  
• federated cross-posts a la >>33832 (You)
  
• option for Group's which can post as the Group without login.
  
• tags on Groups.
  
• granular per tag moderator permissions.
  
• "invisible" local karma (HN algo. sorting)
  
• LLM rewriting of posts.
  
  • raw site with original Notes.
    
  • cooked site with rewritten, and click to raw view.
    
  
  
• tor posting with email verified accounts.
  
• websockets for liveboard.
  
• pagenated CDN caching.

Program that bridges API calls from Windows VST in Wine to DAW

I heavily recommend using u-he plugins if you don't care about using proprietary software, especially the new Zebra3 (a CPU hog but sounds sublime and insanely versatile), Repro-1 and 5 (Prophet-5 and Pro-One emulations) and Uhbik2 (great suite of effects).
A lot of people swear by Diva, and Bazille is also pretty interesting if you are into weird modular sounds.

TAL also make good plugins with Linux native versions. Haven't tried AudioDamage stuff, but I've heard it's good too.

Otherwise, with yabridge, ValhallaDSP plugins run perfectly for reverb and delay. I had good experiences with the FabFilter suite in the past too. Native Instruments stuff generally works okay. Lightweight plugins from small companies that don't use iLok kind of shit DRM tend to work pretty well too, like Madrona Labs' Aalto or AberrantDSP SketchCassette II and Digitalis.
However, I had no luck with Serum 2 and Lexicon plugins, but I can do without them.

The only thing that sucks is that yabridge hasn't been updated in a long while, and it has a mouse cursor glitch with the latest versions of wine-staging, but it works fine with the normal version in Mint's repos. Let's hope they eventually fix this problem, but so far, I think there is everything needed to make great sounding tracks on Linux.
No Ableton Live and Max For Live sadly (there is Bitwig and PlugData tho), and tinkering and random bugs can be pretty annoying sometimes, but I think there is something really satisfying about having an audio setup working fine on Linux. It used to be much more complicated and restrictive 10 or 15 years ago.
