The people? Or the husks in skinsuits we through mass delusion have decided to refer to as politicians?

Or maybe they're just upset that you're using the deaths of children to be smug.

There's a lot more going on in politics than "insert vote, recieve outcome voted for". Gerrymandering, simply being stuck in an area where you are the political minority, politicians campaigning on an entriely different platform than the actions they take later while in office... I could go on, but I expect my words would be wasted.

The dead girls weren't even old enough to vote.

In b4 you start running your mouth off about how it's okay to wish death on the bad people because of what they're doing to you/the good people. Two wrongs don't make a right, and even if it did, you're aimed at the wrong targets. Get your scope zeroed in properly.

Not really related, but it makes me sad that this isn't easily possible in Project Zomboid. It's the exact sort of feeling I want from it.

This is just a blatant grift. The link on how to add links just sends to a ko-fi page where you're charging money.

And completely ignoring a whole bunch of reasons that "the million dollar webpage" worked that mean that something like this won't.

Good luck I guess.

There will always be more content than anyone can keep up with in a single lifetime. I've long since lost the motivation to race along at the front edge of new shit.

I pick up new artists from shows, movies, youtube videos, and games. I also regularly let youtube music (revanced, so no ads) run past the end of my playlists and suggest new stuff. I used to use Pandora for this as well.

On super rare occasions (been over a year now) I'll check out you groove you lose threads on 4chan and discover a few more artists.

Yeah. Anthropic regularly releases these stories and they almost always boil down to "When we prompted the AI to be mean, it generated output in line with 'mean' responses! Oh my god we're all doomed!"

I love all these articles that frame the public's reaction to something as the problem, while ignoring or glossing over the cause of the reaction entirely.

"How dare you question the orphan grinder! No, the real problem is that you don't understand why the orphan grinder is necessary!"

I might be, if I had seen any evidence of what you're describing occurring.

I'd imagine that is also the reaction of most people downvoting you. You keep insisting this is happening, but I haven't seen it. Provide some screenshots, anything to elevate this past "impassioned rant" and into the realm of having hard examples to talk about.

Please show examples of the pro-AI users of db0 trying to spread it to other communities.

That would pretty strongly go against the general "vibe" of the db0 instance, and I'd expect the db0 admin team wouldn't stand behind their users breaking rules of other comms (assuming the other comms have rules against it).

If the other comms don't have rules against it, then you block the user in question. If you feel this strongly about it, make your own comms and instance.


If you check my posting history you'll see I'm active both in this comm and techtakes on awful.systems, both very strongly anti-AI.

I blocked the AI related comms on db0, which took maybe 10 minutes. Beyond that, I would block any users doing what you've described if I encountered them, but I sincerely can't remember encountering more than maybe two users in my two years here who would fit that criteria.

This entire post reeks of bad-faith and purity testing.

So, there is some jank in how Microsoft handles the desktop that results in more shortcuts on in using more resources. It always has to have all the images and icons loaded at all times.

But with the increases in baseline RAM I'd be shocked to find anyone with more than 4GB experiencing slowdown from it, even in the most extreme situations.

Similar thing with trash/recycling bin. Are you already low on storage space? Then yeah, clean it so your PC has enough spare space to work, or to use for swap (effectively extra, slower RAM by way of using drive space). But that was also far more likely to be a problem on the old drives measured in MB.

I'm not 100% on the technical term for it, but basically I'm using it to mean: the first couple of months it takes for a new hire to get up to speed to actually be useful. Some employers also have different rules for the first x days of employment, in terms of reduced access to sensitive systems/data or (I've heard) giving managers more leeway to just fire someone in the early period instead of needing some justification for HR.

Because you can buy other people's code for cheaper than developing it yourself, as long as you use it within the restrictions of the license you paid for.

My daughter is a little over two, and through well meaning family and friends we have more toys than we know what to do with.

My wife keeps buying what are essentially (fancy looking) big boxes and just dumping everything in them. Love my wife, but that's not working, it's just hiding some of the mess in a box.

We end up with these hardly ever opened boxes full of unorganized piles of toys that we end up having to dig through to find anything specific, and the toys that my daughter is actively using just end up scattered around the floor so they don't disappear into the box dimension.

Every once in a while my daughter opens and digs through the boxes and dumps half the contents on the floor anyway (not like she can see specific things to grab what she wants) and then we just kind of arbitrarily choose some of it to put back in the box and a new combination of mess to leave out.

Unfortunately we have another baby on the way, so I'm probably not getting my wife to let us toss any of it right now.

I'm leaning towards cubby shelves with individual bins for different "types" of toys like her daycare does, but I wanted to hear what strategies other parents tried, and what has and hasn't worked.

 

This blog post has been reported on and distorted by a lot of tech news sites using it to wax delusional about AI's future role in vulnerability detection.

But they all gloss over the critical bit: in fairly ideal circumstances where the AI was being directed to the vuln, it had only an 8% success rate, and a whopping 28% false positive rate!
