Subatomic particles act in insane ways that are absolutely not mechanical or predictible. A very limited size of object behaves "normally". I think believing that the universe mostly acts like our everyday objects is the skewed perspective.

We made a tag that can't be reliably and deterministically scanned so we also included a machine learning model that takes a good guess at it.

I just don't see how you could possibly rely on a black box model for anything important. You have no way to mathematically prove if there are collisions in the model output or not, and newer versions of the model can't be made backwards compatible. So if you have a database of thousands of these tags scanned, then they discover a critical vulnerability and provide a new model, you're SOL and everything you have is worthless.

Based on this closed issue, I don't believe Lemmy natively keeps an edit history, the comment is overwritten. However, admins have full access to all data on the server database so they can (and do) keep backups and look over them at any time. You should consider everything you do on your instance available to your admin, including private messages.

I can only really speak to reddit, but I think this applies to all of the user generated content websites. The original premise, that everyone agreed to, was the site provides a space and some tools and users provide content to fill it. As information gets added, it becomes a valuable resource for everyone. Ads and other revenue streams become a necessary evil in all this, but overall directly support the core use case.

Now that content is being packaged into large language models to be either put behind a paywall or packed into other non-freely available services. Since they no longer seem interested in supporting the model we all agreed on, I see no reason to continue adding value and since they provided tools to remove content I may as well use them.

The potential for distros optimized for specific tasks without needing to swap out entire kernels. A "gaming" focused scheduler probably looks different from a big data cruncher or a super multi-tasker server.

Sora can sometimes do 1 minute clips that mostly look ok as long as you don't pay too close attention. We are incredibly far away from coherent, feature-length narratives and even those aren't likely to be thematically interesting or engaging.

Apparently they weren't redundant if you needed them to make the expansion...

There are hundreds of gTLDs now, maybe everyone can stop abusing country code TLDs and leave them for their intended purposes.

Pronouns are extremely relevant in formal communication. People do their best to infer them from names but that's not always easy or even possible.

Abortion and the "southern strategy".

Abortion access has been used for 60ish years as a wedge issue to drive religious people to the right wing party.

In my town the school board weirdo lost by 2 votes. It's so important to vote in local elections.

But also Tim Cook's total compensation for 2022 was $99 million and Satya Nadella's 2023 was $48 million. Paying him more than CEOs of actually profitable companies and what amounts to nearly 1/4 of revenue is a pretty big outlier.

Minimum 25 years actually in a prison +/- some minor adjustments for behavior and then he'll be eligible to request release on parole. But if parole isn't granted there's no upper limit on how long he can continue to spend in prison.

Prostetics have gotten extremely advanced in the last 20 years. People are controlling and getting real feedback from replacement limbs.

Shorting an IPO isn't really available to most investors. Liquidity is super low and most brokerages won't be able to offer it for a while.

Yep Lemmy uses SMTP and in my experience most self-hostable platforms do as well. You can see in the Lemmy config documents how it gets set up: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/configuration.html.

Is it actually changing your display brightness or is it just doing a visual overlay like flux?

They are wholly devoted to "conserving" systems that are designed to benefit cis, white, straight, wealthy, men at the expense of everyone else. I'm not sure how that could be "good" no matter how they went about it.

This thread is about bluesky...

  1. If the world had opted out of the ICE early, maybe we wouldn't be in quite the global warming situation we're in.

  2. LLMs are still a novelty product that can barely perform their novelty. Comparing them to the wildly useful and game changing ICE is not terribly accurate.

That's why dns-over-https is so important

As I understand it, NAT is a firewall with only a very basic configuration: allow all outbound and accept only established inbound. If you don't expect to have any incoming connections and completely trust all your internal devices then its good enough.

However, if you start wanting to port forward for servers (SSH, FTP, video games) you need to poke holes in the NAT firewall and it has no additional configuration options to help you. The same goes for if you have internal (ex. IoT) devices that you don't necessarily trust, there are no rules to block outbound traffic.

What's funny is right at launch I would have seriously considered upgrading, but I'm on second gen Ryzen and that platform was deemed not new enough at the time. Now they've added a bunch of BS and even though I think they've removed the restriction I'm over the new shiny thing and am looking heavily into a full linux setup.

Made with Gtk4, WebKitGTK, libadwaita and Flatpak.

WebKit based, which is interesting. I don't have much experience with WebKit on Linux.

Vaultwarden does at least, I've been using it with passkeys for the last couple months and it's been great.

I don't see it as hypocritical at all. Public comments are, for me at least, put out for the public good. The same reason someone might license open source code with the MIT license. My issue with Reddit is that they restricted who can obtain the data and then privately sold them to only the highest bidder. They should be freely available to all who want to view them without restrictions on money or power.

Or European websites will suddenly be the only ones worth visiting because they aren't buried under mountains of LLM garbage text.

You misread. They mean a thicker layer of polymerized oils building up would produce a "cast iron pan" effect on the granite. A layer reminiscent of what people try to achieve on well seasoned cast iron.

Imagine walking in, seeing a price on the board, waiting behind someone with a big order, and by the time you get to the counter the price has increased. I forsee yelling and fights happening in lines.

The structure of their ownership is public knowledge and available to anyone looking to purchase. That pretty much covers them in the US. Zuckerberg has a somewhat similar deal with meta.

Assholes think everyone is ignoring them because they don't mince words, but actually everyone ignores them because they're not as smart as they think they are.

I trade finding bugs for treats. Cat tracks and alerts, I catch or kill, and cat gets a snack. Everyone wins and no one gets bitten, stung, or weird parasites.

These types of figures are still important to know. You want to see if certain populations are being affected disproportionately and have a baseline to work from when seeing how policy changes are working.

If you make a policy change and see recovery overall but you're still getting 52% of Latinos reporting insecurity, you've done something wrong and you have data to back it up.

I believe the effect is entirely topical, it just doesn't hurt to ingest a little too. The fluoride ions trigger re-hardening of the tooth enamel and can take the place of missing calcium in the outer enamel structure, but those only happen when they hit the outer enamel in your mouth, you don't regrow enamel on fully formed teeth

That's what finally did in my 10 year old Corsair. I was technically within specs on wattage with my new 4070 but certain loads would cause it to trip the over current protection anyway.
