No, I live here.

I hate

  • religious zealotry
  • massive dichotomy in polotical ideologies
  • identity politics
  • warmongering
  • brainwashing (pledge of allegiance?!)
  • poor treatment of poor and homeless
  • prison complex
  • poor education system
  • incredibly expensive healthcare
  • terrible zoning laws and car centricity
  • hiroshima, native genocide, iraq, and so many more. The US has shed so much blood and terror inflicted on the world population
  • world police, vigilante, the US is basically every bad movie villian in country form
  • regressing views on women's rights
  • the history of slavery

Ngl kaspersky is the close to the last group I care to hear from about security

We don't deserve our open source heroes, so grateful for the incredible free software ecosystem

Gimp, 7zip, blender, vlc, open office, the kernel, thousands of others, I feel like our lives have been universally improved by these inverted charity projects. The few taking care of the undeserving many.

I'm a 10 year pro, and I've changed my workflows completely to include both chatgpt and copilot. I have found that for the mundane, simple, common patterns copilot's accuracy is close to 9/10 correct, especially in my well maintained repos.

It seems like the accuracy of simple answers is directly proportional to the precision of my function and variable names.

I haven't typed a full for loop in a year thanks to copilot, I treat it like an intent autocomplete.

Chatgpt on the other hand is remarkably useful for super well laid out questions, again with extreme precision in the terms you lay out. It has helped me in greenfield development with unique and insightful methodologies to accomplish tasks that would normally require extensive documentation searching.

Anyone who claims llms are a nothingburger is frankly wrong, with the right guidance my output has increased dramatically and my error rate has dropped slightly. I used to be able to put out about 1000 quality lines of change in a day (a poor metric, but a useful one) and my output has expanded to at least double that using the tools we have today.

Are LLMs miraculous? No, but they are incredibly powerful tools in the right hands.

Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Barbara Streisand effect in full force

Where did you see that? I saw an article where they said walls don't work or something today, is that what you're referring to?

Edit, found this:

In the Oval Office on Thursday, Biden made clear that he was moving forward with wall construction grudgingly, in order to comply with funds appropriated by Congress in 2019. He said he had tried and failed to get Congress to redirect the funding it had allocated for wall construction in south Texas. "The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money. They didn’t. They wouldn’t. In the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated for. I can’t stop that," he said.

I'm meeting up with a friend and their SO for a little hiking and brunch at a local breakfast joint. Picking up the vision pro today for work so that's exciting!

I think it's easy to be negative if a person doesn't consider the human reading their anonymous posts, people feel empowered to take out their problems from life in general on random faceless internet strangers.

Guy shoulda tried emacs instead, wife is probably an elitist

Common password, people in various places will pretend that the platform will censor your password. For example my password is *******.

This is generally an attempt to steal other users password or generally an attempt to prank the gullible. Your password will not be censored ever.

Raised mormon, did the mission thing, moroni's promise was bullshit so I switched to general christianity, realized that it's just another brand of bullshit. Currently agnostic/atheist/who cares.

IF there's a god, he's not a fucking primate with a sphincter- humans are so freaking narcissistic to think the "ultimate" being of all time is just like them.

IF there's a god, why would he be omniscient/omnipresent? You created this post, do you actively control how it interacts with people's minds?

IF there's a god, and he's the christian idea of a god, he's evil. No loving being would send their "children" to a test (omniscient, knowing the future) knowingly sending them to a place where the result would be them suffering for eternity.

IF there's a god, their existence doesn't answer the question of where we came from, what came before god? If your answer to this question is "god just always was" you're an idiot who missed the point.

In 10 years

  • Selling high strength magnets without regulation
  • Petroleum cars

In 100 years?

  • Eating meat
  • Natural gas stoves
  • Oil/Natural gas furnaces
  • Anonymous online communities
  • Not wearing a sort of body-camera in most professions

In 1000 years?

  • Religion, mysticism, paranormal beliefs
  • An inversion of religious moralism, I think things that are thought of as evil will have to become the norm, genetic modification, cloning, etc.
  • Eating food in general

Dragon quest monsters (dragon warrior monsters in America)

This game was the bomb, I loved the monster breeding mechanics, you could breed monsters of different types to get entirely new ones.

Wow what a neat project, I have spent a lot of time recently working around vulkan on m1 machines with compatibility layers and while it's not a huge pain it does suck to miss out on some of the more powerful features of vulkan that the hardware is certainly capable of. I'm not keen on learning metal to bridge the gap and this is just what the doctor ordered.

This will be a huge boon for me, way to go!

We yearn for answers to why we're here, there's a reason religion has been such a huge part of there human consciousness for so long, our brains are hard wired to find reasons for everything.

Since there is no known objective answer to this question, I'll answer it subjectively, recognizing that my life experiences have tainted my views.

Life has no purpose. People who do immense "evil" will not be punished. People who do immense "good" will not be rewarded.

Your existence is a beautiful, flighty phenomenon. You are a heap of octillions of atoms that somehow gained self awareness. Your happiness is merely a chemical exchange in your skull meat, it's fine to strive for happiness but it's fleeting.

I personally strive for serenity, accepting reality for what it is and making peace with it. Nothing matters, we're all going to lose the gift of consciousness through inevitable death, and that's okay.

It's all a devious plan by the canadians so they can have warmer beaches

Moving to EVs is great, all countries are following similar trends and it is a good step in the right direction, but China has a long way to go before becoming a bastion of ecological absolution. Shanghai's fog of pollution is something everyone should experience.

Remember china has the second largest population on the planet, cumulative metrics are useful but miss the bigger per capita picture. Check out the wikipedia article on ev usage and note the per capita numbers

Globalization is already well underway, our economies are entertwined, our technological advances, our medicine, knowledge, and even entertainment.

There is war, incompatible theologies, racism, hate, and all sorts of stuff that has the appearance of not being "united". As long as humans exist those things will persist. We're not robots, our flaws exist because of the nature of our biology.

I think it's fair from at least this perspective to say we're already united.

Not sure it's possible to avoid entirely, as the community here grows we get more of all types, it's hard to have a truly only-positive community when moderation is voluntary and the masses have full reign to submit literally anything.

Do you think a technology solution would help? Sentiment analysis on posts and gently redirect people to other communities instead of outright blocking them?

Maybe the only real solution is personal resilience and recognizing that we don't need to feel negative feelings just because we received a negative communication

Yes however, they also have access to your keyboard in realtime with getAsyncKeyState or event hooks in windows at least, so I'm not sure that's a strong argument.

Sorry man I tell the future, can't control it 🤷‍♂️

Rocket chat I think checks those boxes

ML stands for machine learning

Rare earth magnets are remarkably powerful, a couple hundred bucks gets you magnets with enough magnetic potential to crush bones. Children who swallow magnets are hospitalized, magnets be spooky

https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/newsroom/news-releases/2022/02/middelberg_magnets_pediatrics

I am staunchly opposed to regulating magnet sales but I think it's quite likely, especially in children's toys

The mormons have subscribed to north american horse facts, too bad the timelines don't quite line up!

This old tony is the GOAT

Someone with more knowledge may have a better response than me, but as far as I understand it GPT-x (3.5 or 4) is what's called a "large language model" it's a neural network that predicts natural language. I don't believe AGI is the goal of OpenAI's product, I believe natural language processing and prediction is.

ChatGPT in particular is a product simply demonstrating the capability of the GPT models, and while I'm sure openai themselves could build out components of the interface to interact with discrete knowledge like math, modifying the output of the LLM to be more accurate in many cases, it's my opinion that it would defeat the entire purpose of the product.

The fact that they have achieved what they have already is absolutely mind boggling, I'm sure that the precise solution you're talking about is on the horizon, I personally know several developers actively working on systems that mirror the thoughts you've expressed here.

After how ajit pai shilled the fuck out of the chair position I don't know if I can ever take it seriously again.

Fuck ajit pai, of course.

"rips" "drags" "slams"

What is with the weird word choice for modern news articles?

Lets whip out the thesaurus, use some flowery language! It can still be easy to understand but let's expand past the weird 3 verbs we've been limited to!

"Senator Matt Gaetz forgot that investigations prove innocence too, and lashes out with his comments about a new investigation into his alleged intimate relationships with high schoolers."

Really, if somebody wanted to investigate me about something I knew I was innocent about, I'd say "do your worst" not "ugh why would you investigate me" in a whiny voice.

Oh weird, I intended to edit a different post and this one got the edited

I found hundreds of full length movies in chinese on youtube, and used ytdl to download them all for the day they are inevitably removed. I just searched for some popular movies by chinese name and used the filter for long length. If you want the script I wrote to download whole playlists lmk

You have copilot? You'll be fine if so, just throw down comments for what you want it to do and tweak it when it doesn't compile.
