Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
The lost cause doctrine and related overall glorification of the u.s. civil war era confederacy. The fact that there are confederate statues in states that fought for the union is insane…
Not that AI should be treated with the same rights and dignity a person, but is this not a sort of double standard? I mean, do they publish games with art made by humans who learned from works the human artists did not own?
Ban NSFW posts entirely. Require subreddits to pay to be private. Take over/shut down subs that don’t make enough ad revenue for their subscriber count. Corporate sponsored/run subreddits plus taking over popular subs to hand over to corporate sponsors. New premium currency to spend on enhanced up/down votes (10x effect normal votes, no limit to use on posts/comments). Newer Reddit to replace old and new Reddit. Updated app required to browse on mobile, requires notification permissions to run. Ban subreddit customization. Subs must allow image posts and use chat. Block linking to 3rd party image and video hosts.
This reminds me of the first time I saw Reddit (a bit before the Digg migration.) It was similarly slow and boring (compared to Digg.) But that changed quicly after Digg collapsed. The same will probably happen here as Reddit becomes more hostile to its user base.
(I plan to enjoy the quiet weirdness of these new spaces while I can.)
Updated Wednesday June 14 2:10 p.m. EST - San Francisco Police have provided this statement to Jalopnik:
“The SFPD is aware of the social media video showing an autonomous vehicle stopped in the middle of a road during a recent shooting incident in San Francisco. The autonomous vehicle did not delay police, fire, or other emergency personnel with our arrival or departure from this scene. Furthermore, it did not interfere with our investigation into the shooting incident.
I like the idea but I doubt it would work. Unless you want all laws signed with the comment:
bug fixes and stability improvements
Real progress and change takes work and money. Inflated social issues can be "solved" with policy. This whole mess is just policial theater that creates the illusion of governance at the expense of minorities.
I think I'm starting to understand... If I go to an art gallery that allows photos, take some photos, and share them with a friend who is learning to be an artist, that seems to be generally ok and does not feel unethical. But if I take those photos to an underground sweatshop and use it to train a thousand people who are mass producing art for corporate use, that seems wrong.
If I think of the AI as a human analog, then I have trouble seeing the problem with it learning from the same resources as humans, but if I see it as a factory then I see the problem.
That would require a degree of cleverness and intelligence that, as of yet, has not been demonstrated by the Reddit administration.
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (written over 2 thousand years ago...)
Theoretically you can amend the constitution at will if you control congress, the presidency, and one state legislature. You just carve up (for example) Texas to create another 150 states out of a rural area with each occupied by loyal party members. Then you admit them (only need a simple majority) and use them to push through any amendments you want. This would almost certainly trigger a civil war, but as far as I know it is legal.
Microsoft still sells single, non subscription licenses for Office. I think Windows is safe for the forseeable future, especially since they sell it to OEMs...
Heh. I (US) cancelled this morning and they tried to offer me basic as an alternative to cancellation.
The spam text messages I’ve received this weekend are so bad I’m not sure if they are actually from DeSantis or a smear campaign by his opponents.
Reporter: "Is that your Bible?"
Trump: "It's a bible"
The number of "Christians" who still want to seat this man next to Christ just blows my mind.
Merits of the tech aside, It is amazing to see how many people are becoming ludites in response to this technology, especially those in industries who thought they were safe from automation. I feel like there has always been a sense of hubris between the creative industries and general labor, and AI is now forcing us to look in a computer generated mirror and reassess how special we really are.
What was the issue with the battle system? I always thought timed hits were a great idea to make turn based battles less tedious, and mapping action menus to the four buttons worked well. I guess the encounter rate might be a bit high compared to modern RPGs, and it would be nice to be able to pin attacks to the top of the menus.
We need better solutions for proving identity online. Email, capcha, etc. are insufficient. I imagine a system similar to the certificate authority system, where you prove your identity to one of many trusted identity providers and then that provider vouches for you when you sign up for other services (while also protecting you anonymity.)
Maybe 25 years? But there should be an extra provision that the work must remain publicly available for purchase in like form and cost or else the copyright is voided (with a one year grace period to resolve production issues.)
That would probably require cooperation with square, which would finally open the door to proper sequels. I’d cry. (No shade on the paper Mario and Mario and Luigi games, they are great series in their own rights, just not the same.)
Kind of sounds like it is intended to be used as an Airbnb/rental property.
TotK. Just finished all the shrines.
All the changes I’ve seen since the beta seemed to be end game focused at the expense of early game. Nice to see early game get attention for once.
For me pain is multidimensional, there’s different kinds of “worst.” The short drop onto a hospital bed after surgery was by far the strongest, sharpest, brightest pain I ever felt, but it only lasted a millisecond. Kidney stones can be sharp and radiating, but the pain tends to be localized with ebbs and flows. Pancreatitis was not as “sharp” as a kidney stone, but it was bigger, harder to tolerate, more attention consuming, and came with aweful nausea.
Create a strict commandline syntax that all posts must follow
Require all posts to be proper code for any command line syntax, but they must be tagged for that syntax
Only allow pictures of people directing lines of people or traffic (commanding lines)
It is about the same size as the S10e, just a little longer. So not small but not giant like so many of the others.
An earlier version of this article was published in June 2021.
I'm not sure if I should be alarmed that this is happening frequently enough to recycle older articles or comforted that we've already dealt with this trouble once before.
As soon as I read this threds title, The Office (US)'s theme started playing in my head, so I guess that.
This is (maybe) the "beginning" of the end for Reddit, not the "end" of the end. The big change isn't Reddit, but here.
When Digg fell, everyone moved to Reddit. When this API situation started there was not an obvious new solution to move to. Lemmy/KBin were mentioned but not readily accepted due to concerns with the content and capabilities of the fediverse. That is changing quickly, and the next time Reddit screws up, we will have much more active communities, quality apps, and fewer bugs.
