Honestly, a very impressive move. Makes me way more confident in the trajectory of the company and I'm happy to have been a visionary user for multiple years.

I wonder, though, just how much of Proton A.G. does the foundation now own? They say it's the largest shareholder, but they didn't say "majority shareholder".

Better than Firefox being blocked in Russia. Addons can be added from files anyway.

This. Nowadays people mostly buy TVs when their old ones break. There's no marginal improvement. The industry is here to stay, but its high growth days are in the past.

I suspect a lot of CSAM searches come from underage users themselves

I think people misunderstand what BlackRock does. It's a proxy for other investors. Investors all around the world buy assets, produced by BlackRock and BlackRock routes that money into corresponding shares/bonds/real estate, etc.

Thoughts on Huel? (fitnessclone.com)
submitted 1 year ago by preasket@lemy.lol to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I've recently started eating/drinking Huel quite a bit and am finding it great so far! Tried it a couple of times before and used to get slight inflammation, but since they removed gluten, it seems to work quite well for me.

Do you use it? Is it actually healthy? Do you like it? Any side effects?

I'm sure there are some AI peeps here. Neural networks scale with size because the number of combinations of parameter values that work for a given task scales exponentially (or, even better, factorially if that's a word???) with the network size. How can such a network be properly aligned when even humans, the most advanced natural neural nets, are not aligned? What can we realistically hope for?

Here's what I mean by alignment:

  • Ability to specify a loss function that humanity wants
  • Some strict or statistical guarantees on the deviation from that loss function as well as potentially unaccounted side effects

I see Firefox, I see VLC. Things aren’t too bad.

Ok, I'm no longer gonna argue in this thread. It's filled with either keyboard warriors who haven't turned their gaze away from the monitor in years, enraged fools or actually malicious provocateurs. I believe I've made my points. Peace! ✌️

I think this has been the norm in asian cultures since way before covid.

Suppressing different views on a platform doesn’t make them go away, it only radicalises them. The only real, long term solution is debate and persuasion.

Good thing that what they are building is super transparent, open source and distributed. That critical post wasn’t even deleted.

As long as that remains the case, I’m happy that Lemmy is a place where you can find all kinds of views represented.
