So you are basically building a classifier that tries to assert if a user will like a video. While many are against any kind of “algorithm” within the fediverse, I believe that it’s a necessity. But, I think allowing users to tag content and then building classifiers that allow you to filter based on that would be a more aligned with the fediverse.

Anyway, cosine similarity has worked for a lot of things, so I think it’s a solid foundation to get you started. Another thing you can try is using an embedding model, specifically a model that receives a segment of a video and yields a matrix with the property that similar input will result in outputs relatively close to each other (cosine or euclidean distance).

Another thing to consider is building a platform that will permanently store data. If you can come up with a set of endpoints, I can implement something in python to get ypu started. I don’t have experience with video processing so I cannot help you with that, but the crud aspect is no biggie.

There are a lot of things to unpack here.

First of all, your friend is at vulnerable place and this is not the time for you two to explore a romantic relationship. You will definetely regret rushing things, you sound like a kind person and you don’t want to exploit her. Try to be there for her, give time and space for something romantic to develop.

When the time has come try to be clear and formal, ask her for a date, like you are meeting a new person. Dating someone you know for a long time can be confusing and messy, invest the time to understand the romantic side of your relationship.

Also, you deserve to be with someone that appreciates the whole you. De-transitioning should something you do because you want to and not something you do because someone else wants it. You are allowed to change your mind, but make sure you do it for the right reasons.

Last but not least, as far as the equipment is concerned, there are always strap ons 👌

PS the concept of love can be complex and confusing. There is a lot of research around it, but IMO the bottom line is that there are two sides of it you need to be aware. 1) there is limerance which is a feeling and 2) there is love which something you do

This need is probably something you can discuss with your therapist.

I hate to spoil your fun but IRs are made to be written by programs and read by programs.

Lemmy is a public forum, if you want to communicate privately exchange matrix handles and communicate there.

Also, the payload needs to be worse than what you are already disclosing…

But can it run Doom?

Sadly, it’s paywalled behind a 200k med degree. Even then, there is a lot of inconsistent or missing documentation.

But, they are not compatible with other modules of your body.

One thing to consider here is that photon as an spa does not offer great support search engines. Which can help drive organic traffic to lemmy. While, some may see it as a net benefit, from your point of view it’s an great disadvantage.

IMO it’s all about understanding our emotions. The patriarchy actively teaches people to supress and ignore their emotions, a fact well studied by feministic theory. At the same time emotional manipulation a core part of the far-right recipe. Promoting mental health could go a long way in improving society.

What an interesting read! The food analogy instantly made sense to me, I am wondering if other people had the same experience?

What is the point of all this, you may wonder? Well, reading Postman provided a big eureka moment for me - an understanding of why I struggle so much to convince my friends to abandon commercial social media in favor of the Fediverse. Drum roll: the Fediverse may be missing a clear, cohesive narrative.

Technically the Fediverse has everything one would need to enjoy independent social media, away from the surveillance capitalism that powers Big Tech. What has been difficult is finding a story, a simple narrative anyone could follow that would explain WHY the Fediverse is the most empowering, most ethical technological solution out there for social media.

I have come to see the Fediverse as the equivalent of organic, plant based, home-cooked meals and by contrast I see TikTok, Instagram, X, Threads, Snap and other platforms by Big Tech as the equivalent of Big Food – brands like Coca Cola, McDonalds, Nestlé, that promote ultra-processed, highly addictive foods and beverages, contributing to an epidemic of obesity, type 2 diabetes and other diet-related diseases.

IMO we need to break it in a few independent but cooperating decentralized systems;

1. A transportation service where consumers will request the transportation of goods or people from point A to point B, and providers will make bids for those requests.
2. A storage service where providers will offer storage of goods at specific locations, and consumers that make requests for the storage.
3. A LC service, where two parties can enter an letter-of-credit (LC) contract, and providers can guarantee the contract.

If these systems are available, it would be possible to implement additional decentralized services like;

• Marketplaces.
• Passenger transportation services.
• Food delivery.
• Probably many more.

The best feeling of my lie? Getting fired after returning from vacations.

Friendly reminder that the high seas are always an option. Download stremio, install the torrentio addon, and you are good to go.

Do you really think you behave like a dick? Just becase other people say that, it doesn’t mean it’s true…

I have fully switched to kagi, it’s not perfect but for the average case it’s better than google.

I show my hairdresser a picture of my previous haircut (or one I like).

That’s compatible with information theory. You have a piece of information, the moment you encode it (turn your idea into words) that piece of information is transposed to a little different piece of information, then the channel of transportation adds a bit of noise (depends on the environment, most often literal background noise), and then the receiver decodes the to a different piece of information (turn your words into an idea of their own).

Understanding this concept is an important communication skill. Information theory gives a bunch of tools to minimize the difference between the idea in your head and the perception of the idea by your peer.

• You can add redundancy, aka say the same thing twice in a slightly different way.
• Use questions to validate your understanding.
• Have your peer use their own words.
• Use a different encoding, aka draw a picture, a diagram, or use gestures instead of using language to communicate

I have been using for the past month. I am not a power user, I mostly use it when I need to access libgen. Previously, I was using nordvpn. I feel proton is faster both when connecting to a server but also the connection is faster/more reliable. For example, if I forget to turn it off, I can watch a yt video without any issues.
