When I was a kid my family used to joke about a post birth abortion. It’s amazing to see someone so desperate that they actually are using the idea to win votes
Yeah but the original Wright Flyer was extremely janky. It took decades before planes were safe enough for the general public to fly on them. I doubt it’s going to take decades for LLM’s to get really good, but it’s undeniable that the current generation of these systems are somewhat lacking in quality
It says a lot about ccs that all the automakers are switching off of it. Even if the ccs networks weren’t noticeably worse, nacs is smaller, and should make for much easier vehicle packaging designs (see: Tesla nacs in taillights vs ccs behind a big door)
I’m still on the version they shipped out at release so I can keep my dupe glitch. Somehow I’ve put in over 200 hours in the game despite being a cheater, and I’m still grinding like crazy. Not sure why Nintendo set the economy the way they did tbh
This is why I’m going to hold onto my ancient inkjet without DRM until it dies. I can buy the no-name ink off amazon for $7 and it works just as good
Have you considered taking Reddit’s king?
You want to know the difference between Reddit and Wikipedia? One of them is for-profit, and one of them is non-profit. Reddit acted like a benevolent entity so long as it worked to help them grow their user base. But they always knew that their user base was their product, and it was inevitable that they would try to monetize it. Wikipedia (and hopefully the lemmyverse) exist solely for their users, and which is why they have basically stuck around as one of the last truly public service websites
I feel like that site started to go downhill once they started to implement their A”lGoRiThM.” They started promoting so much negative content to users to keep them hooked - basically my entire feed was taken up by posts of people dying / getting wronged / complaining about how terrible modern society is / etc. And now they just want to be TikTok
The degradation of TV audio was inevitable once flatscreen monitors started to get really thin and big. We now sit farther than ever from our screens, which leads to higher pitched dialog getting quieter (since it attenuates faster than low pitched sounds - think about how you can hear a car stereo from around the block, but can’t hear your neighbor’s baby crying). In addition, our quest to eliminate speaker grills has led to designs that either point speakers straight down (obviously bad), or use complex sound piping to reorient sound through small openings (sorta bad).
When you add in the fact that most TV and films are now designed explicitly for surround sound and/or good headphones, you can imagine how bad things get for most people.
I don’t know why people got so fixated on the game controller. Realistically they were just using it to give a computer some USB commands, and these controllers are excellent for that. The real difference between cheap and pricy ones is stuff like latency and better vibration. So no reason not to use the cheap one from a reputable brand
The number one rule of getting people to change their behavior is to reduce friction. Someone needs to make a client that can mask a lot of the federation behind the scenes so that non-tech folks can just hop on and start browsing
Another thing worth noting is there is no algorithm here that is finding the posts that will suck you in for hours and hours. And that’s OK
