For a URI ban would that have to be through ISPs? If so, then alternative DNS would be an easy work around.

The government can not be mad, it’s an organization. People in the government are “allowed” to feel however they’d like; their actions are restricted. And the point being made above is that the government might’ve believed their marketing

The ram that’s important for LLMs is gpu-accessible memory, meaning either systems with unified ram or VRAM, the latter of which is tied to the caliber of GPU one has.

Yes, I nor many other people are arguing that “BOMB” couldn’t be interpreted as a threat. “F the captain” does not carry reasonable fear of harm. It carries reasonable suspicion that the individual is erratic, that is all. Unless one is an

Threatening is not the same as an actual threat. If someone stood up on a plane and yelled “bomb”, the default implication is that there is a bomb present. If someone gets up and yells “F the captain”, it is reasonable to be fearful that th

I’ve found nutricost to be good (they do well in Suppco’s analyses apparently), and they have a great variety of supplements, but very few “blend” type products - I.e. they’re a good place to get what you want for a good deal and nothing mo

Yes I can definitely “feel” it when I take it, especially so at 10g+. And it makes me overly reactive and somewhat irritable, and gives me a ton of energy that needs to be let out lest the former two get worse.

What bothers me even more than AI narration is human narration of AI content. I come across so many videos now, especially in the genre of video essays about TV shows, that seems promising at first glance and then after listening for a coup

Harder to detect manually compared to image or video, but not necessarily harder to detect with another model. If it’s AI-generated MIDI (I have no idea if that’s the, or even a, way it’s done) there are probably patterns in the output simi

I was taking your comment to mean that the metaverse movement (as in the rebranding to Meta etc., rather than the specific concept itself) is dead, which apparently you did not mean so that’s on me. They have two current Meta Ray Ban option

It’s premature to say that the idea failed; The flashy controversial “metaverse” angle where you can live your whole life on the Quest or whatever isn’t happening, but their investment into AR/VR has definitely started to show real pay

Sounds normal to me! i.e. it may be a step change and that could very well have distinct and noticeable real world effects, like other technologies have in the past, but it’s nothing fundamentally new.

The point now isn’t having better rockets for (ballistic) missiles, since satellites became a thing the game has been infrastructure. Future (hypothetical) missions to the moon and mars might not be for military research purposes directly,

I don’t agree that the word “pickle” has been reduced like you claim. Used as a noun, it is only applied to pickled cucumbers. But it’s used as a verb is still very common and the average person understands that many things can be pickled.

25k annually (before taxes) is $12/hour with a 40 hour work week, how many software developers in the first world are working for that? There are probably some, but I’d be surprised if there were “many”.
