I mean, holding your breath to steady your hands to get a good shot, what other interesting chemistry could be going on? I think there's a lot of fun to be had here.

This somehow always reminds me of video games. Press <whatever> to hold your breath and your accuracy increases, your aim is more steady. Anecdotally I think there is some truth to this; hypoxia might lead to greater accuracy and bett

I have two strats. Both signature editions. Ed O'Brien and Mark Speer edition. I also have a fender accoustic which is perhaps my most favouritist guitar ever. I fucking love fender and will forever.

The 2026 budget for Hasbara is $730 million. That's a lot of push.

"Israel has of course no intention to interfere in the French political process, be it at the national or municipal level," it said in a statement." Yeah right. Surely not. Why would they even?

You're probably talking about cooking/recipe blogs? I need those 12 paragraphs and all the ads to get to the recipe. It's dopamine.

Assuming it's an "all-weather" jacket I think it would be cool for it to spout out umbrellas when it starts raining, batman style, to catch rain water as well and drop it into pouches. Mp3 player would be great as well.

I'll take two of them. A thousand a piece.

I mean 730 million isn't a lot, right? It's all good all safe. 730 million dollars. Which could solve hunger in parts of Africa. But let's just use it to protect our image.

I appreciate the comment and I'm well aware and fully clued up on the history of Hasbara and the rest. I actually thought the word "Hasbara" was closer to "explanation". Close enough lexically I guess. I just find t

Because now the manifestation of all this crap has reached a nuclear stage of undeniability. It has literally been simmering for a long time and now it finally comes out. Taking it out on Israel is not wrong and that's not to say that

These threads are always fun. The mental gymnastics of the Israeli "splainers" will never fail to amaze me. Israelsplainers perhaps. I want to say that it's just Netanyahu who needs to go away but it's actually much, muc

Slightly off topic, I'm not sure, but way back in the day (2000ish) a friend of mine used PERL scripts to scrape all the big databases which existed at the time, namely IMDB. He used PERL for scraping and the same for generating "

"So, if we publicly shame people whose text looks like it might have been written by a machine – because it mimics the language used for human reasoning – and people stop writing in ways that they internalize as "AI writing"

"If a creator doesn’t specify whether or not they used AI, but our systems detect significant photorealistic AI use, we will now automatically apply a label." Welcome to the future and the brave new world I guess. "detect&quo

What do mean? This is a great idea. So now instead of having plugins with security vulnerabilities we also have all kinds of escape scenarios within the main software package. Almost nothing can go wrong. Nothing at all. We need to be forwa

I love this comment. Yeah. "their" society is succeeding and we're in a fish tank. It's really like that.

Exactly. Now not only does fizzbuzz exist, but there are at least 10k variants of it with all the colours and flavours you can imagine. I honestly don't know what to make of this. We can literally ask a machine monkey to make something

I don't really see the problem here. We're all getting laid off because AI I superior to us. I can now do the job of a product owner or even exceed it by simply prompting with some nuance, magic spells and bit of salt and pepper.

Are your tokens earning dollars and do they translate into a sustainable form of income? Honest question. I know people who have been laid off and their answer seems to be "use AI make stuff and go forward for the win". All the wh

This is insane and irrelevant. A whole other discussion which does not belong in the the same light as, let's call it "coding and engineering practices designed to kill people" under the guise of "defending democracies&q

My job doesn't involve murdering people. It does not contribute to the death of people nor animals. It is somewhat insignificant. My job does pay my bills and put food on the table but is certainly less glamorous than something which c

Working on "killy" stuff is bad. That's my whole point. I is l stupid and counterproductive to what we as humanity are supposed to be doing.

by karim79 5mo ago
Given the current state of things I would say that it's really easy to pivot to "let's sell weapons to whoever wants them". Still presenting a product as a way to defend democracies is comical. At the end of the day, peo

Yes I would and without question. If by "do" you mean remove myself from the absolute evil that these establishments are, and shame them for it then yes. I can approve of just about any job unless it's about murdering people
