because lots of (most?) trans people don’t want to be “trans”, they want to fit in with the gender they know they are, and being labeled as not a real man or woman in the normal sports leagues, but a trans man or woman in the trans league, is insulting.

you’re getting downvoted because LLMs are simply not very good, they consume lots of energy (bad for climate), and seemingly most people involved in ai hype want to replace human creativity or something.

how about instead of training a not very trustworthy or useful LLM on lots of nyt, 4chan, and “dark web”, you go read lots of nyt, 4chan, and dark web to train your own (much better) model (your brain).

but then made another torrent that is fully seeded

ok but the real interesting stuff like reading hand writing from a paralyzed person imagining writing it and etc are all only for actual electrodes in brains.

i dunno, too many teenagers have pretty much no concerns about (online) privacy at all

reminds me of this video that shows how they reverse engineered the macbook touchbar display and made their own driver. I bet a tv is harder, but I’ve wondered the same thing, and would be interested to see someone try.

Why should that be illegal?? It’s definitely disgusting, but if the paid customers don’t want to see ads (they don’t), then they will leave. I don’t see how or why to make it illegal to show ads to paid users.

i think i’ve seen it used to demo different image compression algorithms, things like that. it was used as an easy example test image, but this journal has now banned papers from using it because it is weird and creepy to be using cropped porn for that. this won’t benefit the model, but she was only pushing to ban it because she wants more women in IT fields.

ok but how does the bluray library stay safe? its still a similar problem. for piracy sites, a lot of them seem to deal with it by just having it be hosted in a country that doesnt care enough to shut them down.

cracked servers (that dont need a microsoft account and dont use their authentication) are quite common, in fact you dont need “patched” server software to make one, it is literally a setting in the default microsoft provided server!

you would want some sort of in game authentication through a plugin (spigot, bukkit, etc) to prevent people from claiming to be your username and the server blindly trusting them and getting your stuff stolen though.

some people use the logic gates in the game to create basic computers to automate expansion

Eh, I can see your point, and the commentor also mentioned jesus in another comment, which is weird and annoying, but I think in the original comment it was being used as a way to show that this idea has been around for a very long time, and give more credence to their point.

I would certainly never quote the bible, and it is kinda weird, but I don’t think its bad enough to be worth discarding their main message.

I’m not religious, but I think that was a justified bible quote, it describes the point made, and theres even an alternative example. I get that religion has done a bunch of bad things, but that was a harmless quote.

wow, didnt know about that. i still think its a hard problem, i mean artillery rounds dont fly a few feet off the ground and manuever, but if anything could defend against drones it’d be that.

i dont think its realistic to have reliable anti drone defenses.

i fly an fpv drone (the kind used by ukraine), but for fun and without explosives, and they are so small and manuverable that it doesnt seem super doable to hit them with a net or whatever. jamming would work, but they can just use a different frequency, and gps spoofing is only a problem for autonomous drones.

i dont know enough about lasers to judge them, so maybe thatd work, but as an example of how extreme drones can get, there was a guy who built a little quadcopter that flew up to 40,000ft. its a hard problem

lack of redundancy is a concern, but the same was said for fly by wire cutting the physical link between stick and controls. fly by wire is ubiquitous now, can be made very very safe, and is a net gain for aviation in general.

not having a window is obviously a bigger challenge, but its still a solvable problem.

it’s addictive, and hard to pack helpful good information into a video that short, and so it just ends up being an infinite stream of completely pointless content. it cannot be good for young children to be swiping through endless shortform content all day, either.

honestly, i’ve mostly stopped using reddit, and it was kinda shocking switching to lemmy, where i can consume all of the content i am interested in that was posted today, and theres just, no more. it is certainly a healthier way of using social media though.

archive team runs a distributed effort to scrape and archive all of reddit, it gets uploaded to archive.org, so at least a large amount of it is accessible through there

some recent ones have been interesting, but yeah that ad really was a scummy move

newpipe is just a client for accessing youtubes servers, yes, so if youtube went away we would need to use vimeo or something else (maybe peertube, open source yt alternative?)
