4 years, that says something about reliability. Thank you!

[–] pglpm@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Uh, never heard of indeed, thank you! Let me take a look.

That's great and that's what I did as well. It also feels safer to have old email just in my computer (with backups of course) and not somewhere in the cloud. I only keep a year of past emails in the server, just for reference. Will check Fastmail, cheers!

Thank you! I'm exploring it right now and I agree on the more friendly feeling.

Hey, I appreciate the honesty! I'm looking into Tutanota right now, thank you for the heads-up :)

Not hostile at all, thank you :) Indeed I asked this question because I suspected I was misunderstanding how to use the site. Here's an example. A comment in this post:

https://lemmy.world/comment/960056

gives a link to a Mastodon post. The link I see is https://mastodon.world/@mwadmin/110654590632768079

If I click that link, I do see the Mastodon post, but it's on a Mastodon instance different from mine (https://c.im/). If I wanted to boost, favour, or reply, I have to open another tab/window, go to my Mastodon account on my instance, search for that post, and then I can boost etc. Let me know if this is unclear.

Maybe it's just because I use Mastodon via browser and not a 3rd-party app, as some comments here have suggested.

Math requires insight that a language model cannot posess

Amen to that! Good maths & science teachers have struggled for decades (if not centuries) so that students understand what they're doing and don't simply give answers based on some words or symbols they see in questions [there are also bad teachers who promote this instead]. Because on closer inspection such answers always collapse. And now comes chatGPT that does exactly that instead – and collapses in the same way – and gets glorified.

Amen to what you say on infographic content as well 😂

This image/report itself doesn't make much sense – probably it was generated by chatGPT itself.

  1. "What makes your job exposed to GPT?" – OK I expect a list of possible answers:
    • "Low wages": OK, having a low wage makes my job exposed to GPT.
    • "Manufacturing": OK, manufacturing makes my job exposed to GPT. ...No wait, what does that mean?? You mean if my job is about manufacturing, then it's exposed to GPT? OK but then shouldn't this be listed under the next question, "What jobs are exposed to GPT?"?
    • ...
    • "Jobs requiring low formal education": what?! The question was "what makes your job exposed to GPT?". From this answer I get that "jobs requiring low formal education make my job exposed to GPT". Or I get that who/whatever wrote this knows no syntax or semantics. OK, sorry, you meant "If your job requires low formal education, then it's exposed to GPT". But then shouldn't this answer also be listed under the next question??

  

  1. "What jobs are exposed to GPT?"
    • "Athletes". Well, "athletes" semantically speaking is not a job; maybe "athletics" is a job. But who gives a shirt about semantics? there's chatGPT today after all.
    • The same with the rest. "Stonemasonry" is a job, "stonemasons" are the people who do that job. At least the question could have been "Which job categories are exposed to GPT?".
    • "Pile driver operators": this very specific job category is thankfully Low Exposure. "What if I'm a pavement operator instead?" – sorry, you're out of luck then.
    • "High exposure: Mathematicians". Mmm... wait, wait. Didn't you say that "Science skills" and "Critical thinking skills" were "Low Exposure", in the previous question?

  

Icanhazcheezeburger? 🤣

(Just to be clear, I'm not making fun of people who do any of the specialized, difficult, and often risky jobs mentioned above. I'm making fun of the fact that the infographic is so randomly and unexplainably specific in some points)

+1 about the protest aspect.

[–] pglpm@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

😂 so funny the level Atomic was impressed.

Funny, note that that website uses DRM content. I have DRM disabled on Firefox and when I visit that site I get two DRM warnings.

It does seem to work, thank you very much! I've also been deleting some desktop files that were corrupted (although not used by any mime type), that may have also helped.
