I’m only familiar with “spectrum” from linear algebra (spectral theory), but I’m not sure that’s how people intend to use the word “spectrum” in this context haha.

I’m perfectly happy to build my own NAS with NixOS and ZFS on it. I think it’s mostly a matter of getting the right hardware.

My biggest shortcoming at the moment is my NAS is also my gaming PC. It’s pretty inefficient to have that on all the time. But I haven’t had the time to build a dedicated NAS.

More like fiveskin am I right?

Ben, you should smile more. You look prettier when you smile.

I would understand the extreme pushback on this if this made a priest go to hell.

I wouldn’t. Religion shouldn’t get a fucking hall pass for arbitrarily bad shit because “we don’t want to go to the scary place we made up.”

You read this in a very specific Italian American voice.

ntopng has all of that. I’m currently hosting it on my home router.

Not my actual favorite, but it’s very high on my list, and I didn’t see it posted yet.

Who am I kidding, I use Firefox.

Your last point hinges on a false equivalency. Imprisonment is also a crime, but we let the government imprison dangerous people for public safety. It’s different when the government does it.

Obviously the death penalty is a different situation, but your logic doesn’t hold up in either case.

To be clear, I don’t support the death penalty. But people on the Internet seem to hate it when I play devil’s advocate to sharpen an argument.

I’m not making a larger claim here, I’m just asking the vegetarians to explain the logic of their belief.

It sounds like now you’re saying that you want to reduce pain rather than the killing of intelligent/conscious life.

In that case would you be OK with slaughterhouses if they treated the animals humanely and killed them as quickly as possible before they could feel significant pain?

You’re so right. I guess it doesn’t matter what happens between now and the inevitable future. -_-

It is in my country.

Did you read the comment I replied to?

For me there’s no morals tied to the level of consciousness. That allows for cherry picking.

No I wouldn’t. But I would kill and eat an insect, fish, or bird.

Ok but plants are also living beings so you should not eat them by your rule.

How is it not? The most popular GPT models are trained on copyrighted works.

don’t demonize tools, demonize what people do with the tools that’s damaging

Depends on what tool you’re talking about.

Sadly in this case the tool, in its product form, is already in breach of a moral principle, because it is a derivative work and stealing labor without consent.

If you are referring to the GPT algorithms, that’s more subtle. We need to figure out how to regulate it better.
