Do you have any recommendations for decoders? I've been using a fire stick for a bit but I wouldn't mind a better alternative.

No, wasn't me. Was planning on taking care of it after the holidays were finished. Someone beat me to it!

Two things: 0) Humans (and even our recent ancestors) eating you are a very recent thing to be concerned about, numbers-wise. By the time our numbers were enough to provide evolutionary pressure, we started farming what we wanted, which kin

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing this. Do you have any qualms about me making an entry in the AUR for this?

I'd love to see a citation there. We already know from a few years ago that they were training AI based on projects on GitHub. Meanwhile, I highly doubt software firms were lining up to have their proprietary code bases ingested by AI

If I cut my heat when it's 14 out, my house does not drop to below freezing in 6 hours, or become uninhabitable in 24 hours. What the hell are they on?

I'm in the same boat. I manage my own server with tons of help from the ansible script(0) and it's generally been great for years. I can only assume our experience in private servers is way different than people logging into the m

I agree with you, and I frankly wasn't trying to reopen the can of worms about AI & art. As I said, I just don't like that particular line of reasoning about AI usage. Like most things, art exists on a spectrum and there are m

I'm curious why some features are disabled if you're using local models. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

How do I know they didn't buy them just to make sure their competitors couldn't?

Well at least it wasn't a bag of chips this time. A clarinet is at least a step towards the correct shape. Sounds like the AI training is going well!

Greed is emotion-based. Intelligence isn't necessarily the best counter against emotion.

We already had some of that with the Target credit card fuck up that birthed PCI rules, which in turn birthed lots of payment card processors just so companies could wash their hands of all card holder PII rather than meet with their insane

It's all about convenience, like most things in life. How many times per year do you need to go through the hassle & headache of renting a vehicle before it makes more sense to just buy one? 1% of 365 is still nearly once a quarter

I think that's kinda the point? If public servants funded by taxpayers don't like it, maybe they shouldn't be forcing it on the populace and breaking the forth amendment.

Not just that, but because people can see the devices themselves. It's not just some guy talking about bad things in Washington DC, you can see these things on rural roads in the middle of nowhere.

I don't understand why we moved away from this. Is it simply aesthetics, or was there something else at play here?

I think that's over-simplifying it. Some YouTube personality (or whatever we want to call 'online media' that isn't just CNN's website) isn't going to be getting a Whitehouse press pass anytime soon.

Well, I sit corrected. Thanks for digging all that up.

That's a bit of a hot take considering all the donations they've been making to OSS projects. Sure, maybe they're not making Yet Another Distro but they're donating to and upstreamimg patches to things that everyone (inc

I have a love/hate relationship with the site, and I'm likewise conflicted by its eventual demise. On one hand, it's an incredible place full of smart people and has some of the best rabbit holes to fall into. On the other ha

I'm not a geophysicist but it doesn't seem like impermeable rock would "inflate like a balloon" and even if it did, that seems like it would be a pretty bad thing for the surrounding countryside. Given that water infamou

I think part of what they're trying to do is change the discussion or the "norm". For example, if every developer suddenly changed to that style of license, would you still deem it unusable?

by fooqux 10mo ago
Well then you just use some copyleft language to ensure the same license (or something you deem compatible) is used. Just because you can fork something doesn't always mean you're able to just change the license.
