I went from a 27" 4k display to my 5k iMac I converted to work as an external display. You can definitely see the difference, especially with text. The 4k - although a HUGH improvement over 1080p monitors - will still have that fuzzine

If you're keen on a weekend project, consider converting a 5k iMac to work as an external display. Glossy display, and bang for buck!

You might be into that. The rest of us like to analyse things honestly, especially given America is going down the route of making the same moves as history. If you don't see that, then it'd probably be better for you to go read s

So you don't accept the fact that a lot of this sectarian violence flared after the toppling of Saddam, which was because of the US? And how many of the deaths do you attribute to the sectarian violence, as opposed to the direct action

Well there's Vietnam, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Libya etc which would tally ~300k civilian deaths alone. Given the blatantly false pretences that America invaded Iraq under, and the sectarian violence that significantly flared post-Sa

I mean, if he was really consistent, he'd also not be operating a business in America, given America is responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent civilians (more than Israel and SA combined) in recent history.

Exactly. It's usually the Zionist sources themselves that are unabashedly genocidal and supportive of ethnic cleansing. More recent example is Bari Weiss, who wrote in 2021: "The results of this mess, as always, are especially bad

This looks great. What am I doing wrong? I downloaded it, installed, but all I see is a red X in the toolbar. When I click on it, it says "Authentication expired. Run 'claude' to re-aut..." so I run claude in terminal an

It's the same in New Zealand - property is the primary mechanism for wealth creation, and you have boomers with 10+ properties that they use for rental income for their retirement. The issue is exacerbated by the tax structures not inc

Thank you! Might get the book to see what I can learn from it, and see what gaps I have to research and learn more. Appreciate the detailed response.

Does that book require some sort of technical prerequisite to understand?

Sure. The exact seller I purchased from doesn't have the product, but in AliExpress if you search... "For iMac A1419 A2115 5K LCD Screen Driver Board LM270QQ1 LM270QQ2 Retinal Control Motherboard 5120*2880 QQHD HDMI DP Type-c&quot

Amazing work, and so inspiring! The size difference compared to the G9ii made it all worth it! Lately I've been converting a few old 5k iMac's to work as external displays, and I had a thought about making my own housing for the d

Again, I'm not the most technical, but I think we need to step back and look at this holistically. Given Grok's integration with X, there could be other methods of limiting the production and dissemination of CSAM. For arguments s

"pearl clutching nana" for simply stating CSAM is dangerous? I get the people arguing for free speech (in general) as there are lots of upsides. Where are the upsides in CSAM - whether real or computer generated? How does it benef

by ebbi 9mo ago
Maybe I'm being too simplistic/idealistic here - but if I had a company that controlled an LLM product, I wouldn't even think twice about banning CSAM outputs. You can have all the free speech in the world, but not with the v

by ebbi 9mo ago
What makes you think they can't? From my knowledge (albeit limited) about the way LLMs are set up, they most definitely have abilities to include guardrails of what can't be produced. ChatGPT has some responses to prompts which st

Killing people in a game isn't a crime. Producing and disseminating CSAM (whether it's physical or digital copies) is a crime.

It's on X, not some fringe website that many people in the world don't access. Regardless of how fringe, I feel like it should be in everyones best interests to stop/limit CSAM as much as they reasonably can without getting i

by ebbi 9mo ago
Given X can quite simply control what Grok can and can't output, wouldn't you consider it a duty upon X to build those guardrails in for a situation like CSAM? I don't think there's any grey area here to argue against it

The sad thing is, this kind of stuff was encouraged in the previous company that I worked for when I got promoted to a certain level. 'Be a thought leader', 'represent the company and influence the industry' was the stan

Thank you - exactly what I meant. I thought it was a common understanding when used in this context.

I think you just need to read more. Your comprehension of common terms in context is lacking.

I'm laughing at their sheer incompetence. This is coming from a minority who has been targeted by US governments policies and has lost friends because of this. Yes, the US government is a laughing stock while we have sympathy for those

I can't imagine why the attacks on October 7th happened. It's a complete mystery given life started on October 7th.

According to many US politicians, it's a thing to celebrate (Fetterman stands out as one, having received a golden pager from an Israeli official). And the mildly veiled threats on social media to people speaking out about Palestine re
