  • In french, the most common name is probably “beu” which is a contraction of “beuher” which is verlan (a type of slang where you reverse the word) for “herbe”.

    This was distorted in a movie to “beuze” , which was then given the verlan treatment again (this happens often) to “zeb”, hence my personal favorite “zebuline”. Mind you, that’s not a common name that’s a personal one I use often.

    That’s why i call it “a bitter adolescent thing”. Building identities and communities about “bad behaviours other people supposedly have” is very common in children.

    Nobody really cares about what you do with your life. What you identify as “wild personal attacks” is probably benign behaviour which you choose to interpret dramatically. If people actually attacked you for these topics you would remove yourself from them. The only people who cannot remove themselves from the toxic people in their lives are children.









  • I don’t think we’re the right demographic to judge that as our view is very distorted by our own experience. The reddit “exodus” is barely a blip in their daily user count - in fact DAU has gone up by 50% since the API changes which is huge especially for a mature platform. This makes it very desirable as it shows that the more aggressive monetization effort doesn’t in fact drive users away.



  • When you read that stuff on reddit there’s a parameter you need to keep in mind : these people are not really discussing Lemmy. They’re rationalizing and justifying why they are not on Lemmy. Totally different conversation.

    Nobody wants to come out and say “I know mainstream platforms are shit and destroying the fabric of reality but I can’t bring myself to be on a platform except it is the Hip Place to Be”. So they’ll invent stuff that paints them in a good light.

    You’ll still see people claiming that Mastodon is unusable because you have to select an instance - even though you don’t have to, you can just type Mastodon on Google, click the first link, and create an account in 2 clicks. It’s been ages. But the people still using Twitter need the excuse because otherwise what does it make them?

    If you take into account the optimizations described in the paper, then the cost they announce is in line with the rest of the world’s research into sparse models.

    Of course, the training cost is not the whole picture, which the DS paper readily acknowledges. Before arriving at 1 successful model you have to train and throw away n unsuccessful attempts. Of course that’s also true of any other LLM provider, the training cost is used to compare technical trade-offs that alter training efficiency, not business models.
