What went viral? To me it just seems like people are pretty divided on the topic which makes sense as it’s an emerging technology. I feel I see as many posts against AI as glazing it.

That’s the problem with keeping a public roadmap - in the end everyone is unhappy and also not really more informed

> Ultra processed food is far, far cheaper than whole foods. I think this is mostly true in the US and a cultural thing. In EU and SA for example I can buy “whole” food - just called food here - for a fraction of the price it would cost

Realistically who is avoiding a vegetable because “it is bad for you”? Never heard of that. Everyone knows that vegetables are good for you basically always. Superfoods are just the latest marketing fad

I don’t think there is a simple “fits-all” solution. In my case there is a monetised proprietary “enterprise” edition of the projects available. Contributions only get accepted if they fit into the commercial roadmap, which is shaped by th

It’s not worth the time. You will spend uncountable hours of (unpaid) extremely exhausting labour talking to people who only care about solving their personal super specific problems. This is true for 90%+, there are exceptions but they are

Trust me it’s not being solved by a CONTRIBUTING.md with guidelines. 90% of contributors won’t read it at all or only some parts of it and ignore the rest. Most PRs you get solve some super specific individual problem and aren’t relevant fo

You are able to do this stuff with open models for 1-2 years now, i for example have a comfyui pipeline that achieves a similar setup. It’s of course more work and you have to dig into the details more. I also have to adjust the pipeline an

Honestly I don’t know. Pretty comfortable where I’m now and we would never even consider using any M$ products ever. I know US culture is more about job-hopping every other year but I’m at the same place for many years now

Thanks for the offer! I don’t wanna dox myself on this account just yet - and I am slowly building an audience on IG/SC now, basically have admitted defeat of my previous strategy. Also have 2 gigs coming up in the summer _fingers-cro

The worst thing is that it works. (As a musician) i never invested in a personal brand or taking part in the social media rat race and figured I concentrate on the art / craft over meaningless performance online. Well guess who is gett

I see what you mean. But is insulting the president evidence of being in a “terrorist organisation” ? I thought free speech was the one principle that is untouchable in the US

Is that actually a realistic example? I’m having trouble following what’s happening in the US

If it’s true for TikTok it will likely be true for all other forms of popular social media (twitter, instagram, etc) too, so a ban wouldn’t have made a big difference probably.

2 people doing QA per dev seems insane even if it’s a lot cheaper. M$ is hardly know for being obsessed with quality, they’d rather have 2 sales per dev (sales is even cheaper, basically pays for itself)

Who are “they”? Of course people organise, that is the whole point of politics. Making it out that George Soros or Bilderberg or some shadow cabal is running the show was a meme already 30 years ago when I went to my first public protest

Many years of taking care in protests against rightwing politics and I haven’t received a single penny; meanwhile everyone else is getting paid, I really fucked up I guess…

I agree and I think it’s a backlash to the 2010’s where many felt there was too much shame/shaming going on in most online spaces. Fwiw I haven’t noticed either phenomenon much irl but that might just be my bubble.

by pousada 9mo ago
Like with all things in life shame is best in moderation. Too little or too much shame can lead to issue. Problem is no one tells you what too little or too much actually is and there are many different situations where you need to figure i

I think in science fiction it’s one of the most common themes for the talking computer to be utterly horribly wrong, often resulting in complete annihilation of all life on earth. Unless I have been reading very different science fiction I

We do have those markets but they are much more expensive (for exactly that reason that they aren’t subject to the price gauge as the supermarkets are). They are essentially for some (rich) hippies/yuppies only. I can’t speak for othe

This is a common meme but wrong. The imported goods are subject to the same restrictions as those produced within EU. What hurts EU farmers the most is the big supermarket cartel that controls prices and pushes farmers to produce more and m

What hurts EU farmers the most are the huge supermarket chains which control prices. The rules&regulations thing is an often cited meme but the price war is much more impactful. In fact we could produce for example in Germany milk in a
