Short-sightedly.

These micro-examples are a reminder that corruption is a part of every human system, no matter how perfect the design.

There will always be concertgoers cutting the unwatched fence to sneak in for free.

The only plausible solution is elective transparency. Either your company and financial metadata are available for independent third party review, and records retained as defined, or else you’re not a company.

Don’t ascribe to it, get boycotted.

Would not trust automatically downloading executables unless you have a sandbox.

There are some people that make 99% of the world 1% worse for the profit. The author lets them off the hook because “they’re just trying to make money”. As if having an understandable motive would redeem the “SEOs”.

Newsflash, it doesn’t. These are organized crime groups as far as I’m concerned. The law just hasn’t or $won’t$ prosecute them for the selfish damage they’ve caused.

If I have a society of 100 people, 2 start a search engine for the others, 1 starts an anti-search engine whose stated goal is to mislead the other search engine users while stealing profit from the 2 innovators who bettered humanity.

I spare no positive feelings for these pond-scum criminals.

I can see it a little, but you’re overthinking it.

The director wanted his movie to be authentic, the city didn’t want to stir up the past. Director rightfully says ok, I have an alternative. City horrified of how it’s portrayed and folds.

The negative is that the swastika will fly for filming, obviously, promoting (very) indirectly.

That aspect doesn’t make this meme pro-nazi as I see it. The whole point is that a creative wanted something that the decision makers tried to block. The creative does what their name implies and finds a hack to get their vision closer to what ends up on film.

Most people here don’t understand what this is saying.

We’ve had “pure” human generated data, verifiably so since LLMs and ImageGen didn’t exist. Any bot generated data was easily filterable due to lack of sophistication.

ChatGPT and SD3 enter the chat, generate nearly indistinguishable data from humans, but with a few errors here and there. These errors while few, are spectacular and make no sense to the training data.

2 years later, the internet is saturated with generated content. The old datasets are like gold now, since none of the new data is verifiably human.

This matters when you’ve played with local machine learning and understand how these machines “think”. If you feed an AI generated set to an AI as training data, it learns the mistakes as well as the data. Every generation it’s like mutations form until eventually it just produces garbage.

Training models on generated sets slowly by surely fail without a human touch. Scale this concept to the net fractionally. When 50% of your dataset is machine generated, 50% of your new model trained on it will begin to deteriorate. Do this long enough and that 50% becomes 60 to 70 and beyond.

Human creativity and thought have yet to be replicated. These models have no human ability to be discerning or sleep to recover errors. They simply learn imperfectly and generate new less perfect data in a digestible form.

The difficulty is getting closed source hardware manufacturers to adopt it.

I’m imagining etch-a-sketch plan routing.

Yeah, would have been nice to find out what happened after Neo flew away. At least Rage was playing.

I used to use brave before they were soured. Ther BAT token disappearing from my account was another nail in the coffin.

The bottom line. We devised a system (note, it’s not some natural system, people made this) that allows a finite resource to be claimed indefinitely.

A developer comes and builds an apt complex, then collects rent on it FOREVER. The initial value they added to housing flexibility and additional housing expires, but the value they extract does not.

As available land disappears over time (which all finite resources do when being consumed), wealth inevitably coalesces to the owners. It seems fair at first, but it ignores what makes an economy work. It allows people to not work and extract value from others over time. It is not sustainable.

You can own an entire forest just so you can enjoy a stroll by yourself, while an entire group of people are left on the outside owning nothing. If you can’t use your land and block access, you’re hurting society more than helping.

It’s somewhat like an insidious monopoly growing slowly. Rent to own as an option is a much better system.

Know what you want to buy before going into a store, stick to your guns. Unless you want to dilly dally, it saves time.

Organize your stuff, makes finding things much faster. Adam Savage had a good tip: Befor you put something away, pretend you’re looking for it and put it where your first thought was. Next time you look for it, it’s in a natural spot for you.

Most chess advice. It teaches you to think in simple terms without actually thinking about a position. It’s good if you want to get passably good, but it’s a handicap once you improve.

I still dance when I’m alone.

It’s not. These are opinions. Snap on the other hand… THAT is bad.

I’m building my way up to a helicopter.

I think you need to stop looking at yourself.

True, but having the lights dim as you start a plex movie can get you laid.

It’s MIT license, so MS lite.

Friendly reminder to change your master password. You’re one SIM jack away from having your life locked away for ransom. They didn’t breach the seeds, but next time who knows. I would start migrating and changing 2FA codes just in case. You never know who might be spraying.

I think nuance goes out the door when tens of thousands of innocent civilians are butchered in the name of defense. Hamas is bad, that doesn’t excuse Israel’s actions.

I’m kind of prude before I get to know someone. I can recall at least 5 times my friends tried to push a girl from the bar into my cab because they thought it was funny I didn’t want to take them home.

Just imagine the reverse situation. It’s the same as women calling other women sluts. Sometimes it’s the most vocal men that make the stereotypes worse.

Lately, just about everything.

I just bought some leather conditioner. It’s oil like, but won’t hurt the faux leather (supposedly)

A blue whale would be impressive.

When your partner complains they can’t screw other people because you’re away for a week, you might be dating someone you can’t fully trust long-term.

If you’re good at something, even if you don’t enjoy it, it might still make a good career. You don’t have to love what makes you money, just not hate it. If you’re good enough, you end up with a lot more free time for yourself. Doing what you love can also cause you to hate doing it as a hobby eventually. People don’t “love” their jobs. You don’t see them paying to do their job like they do for tennis lessons or sports events. You probably just tolerate your job, and that’s ok. Your life isn’t ruined.

Stay away from even legal drugs if you realize they affect you differently from the norm / other people. You might end up spending a couple nights in a hospital.

Alcohol is not really good for your body or mind.

Don’t just go for a shallow understanding of concepts. Learn and reason through them completely in your own way and you’ll never forget them. You’ll also be better prepared to use and extend them.

A solid sleep schedule is good for building a routine. A crazy sleep schedule can make you more creative. Choose a balance.

Know how food impacts you. You maybe eating something that drains you for decades without even realizing it. Introduce things one by one and see how you feel and think.

What people think about you does matter to an extent. It’s good to have confidence in yourself, but you can also be overconfident. It’s also ok to be a little judgmental at times about things that are important to you. You don’t have to be a dick about it though.

Just wait for VeganOS to drop.

Not same domain ads.

She’s not the worst role model we’ve ever seen, so at least the world isn’t completely mad. I think her music is mediocre, and don’t understand the fanfare, but to each their own.

192.169.x.x will always be easier than fe80:x:x::x:x

I didn’t.

Oh? Let me CEC on that..

The problem with fedi is that you need some kind of lowest common denominator gatekeeper. So that a client can tell the server: I don’t want to see x,y,z and it works reliably.

In order to have that functionality, someone has to class that content first. You can’t trust the author implicitly, so you have to trust either the server or a moderation group.

How you define the mod group, be it random community member based on comment and post karma, or a trusted ring of insiders with votes, or some other method, data still needs a place to be stored.

This is the end result of unchecked capitalism. The first tendency is for mass production as it concentrates labor wealth to an individual as incentive. The next stage is growth and monopolistic tendencies. As corruption sinks in we get collusion and anti-consumer practices like this.

In what universe does a person claim a territory the size of a city and everyone and their mother defends their right to restrict use of that land to people who have none. This is the same with any products produced from land materials (like cars). You essentially rent deteriorating objects (planned obsolescence) until you’re forced to rent the next model.

It’s wholly inefficient and generates so much waste that we’re now concerned about the air quality and sustainability of many natural resources. The laws are the problem, and those laws are written by lawyers who work for money. As a result, laws are pushed by the wealthy (politicians now included) to ensure that they never lose control. “Security (aka surveillance) and encryption laws are barrier #1 for organized change.

“You will own nothing and you will be happy.”

Just make the jump. I keep a cheap n100 box as a backup.

LXC with cloud-init and ansible on proxmox gives you docker features without the docker headache.

After decades of user interfaces and internet access, we’re making things worse rather than better.

Someone at Microsoft realized that hardware will speed up, hiding the fact that the OS is getting bloated and riddled with code that doesn’t directly benefit the user.

The value Windows provides isn’t great enough to deal with this state any longer. In fact, my experience shows it’s slower and just as buggy.

We have technology available to improve experiences, let’s not mix it with profit incentives for once.

Good luck determining who is driving.

Don’t call him Bibi. He deserves no cute nicknames which downplay these atrocities.

If this man who only wants to help people with awesome competition while offering lower prices.. somehow is blocked from doing this.. it’s time for a rebellion against our overlords.
