AI has honestly made me a much more powerful Linux user
What gets me about this is that, while it would still be bad, they could have mostly avoided the privacy nightmare here with some kind of Zero Knowledge Proof scheme, but the tracking is obviously part of the point.
The project’s authors also acknowledged that most of the proposals would require the Republican Party to control both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
In July 2024, Trump disavowed Project 2025.
There’s also how the Supreme Court recently made a ruling that limits the ability of federal agencies to legally act without more explicit direction from congress, and gives courts more ability to scrutinize their actions.
This plan would represent a terrifying slide into totalitarianism and is something we should take steps to avoid, but I think there’s a lot going against it and reasons to be hopeful that it will fail.
The main uses for AI in game development aren’t generating things on the fly for players anyway, it’s helping artists and coders do their work faster.
I thought the joke was that ginger is disgusting so a Ginger Ale would be better with artificial flavors
I had never heard it, couldn’t imagine what the joke was
Explicit types are just laziness, you should be catching exceptions anyways.
A while ago I read the book Swarmwise by Rick Falkvinge about the process of starting a political movement in Sweden, and some aspects of how their democracy works seemed comparatively impressive to me, and better capable of genuine representation because the barriers to getting started are not so insurmountable. Still, I’m not convinced overall of the narrative of changes to the structure of government being generally positive. You used a technology metaphor, but it’s been a clear trend for tech platforms to actually become worse over time in terms of user agency, privacy and exploitation, something that to me seems mirrored in government. A lot of what people see as solutions to problems take the form of an increase in centralized control and a weakening of barriers to that control, and I see those barriers as the ideological core of how the US was originally designed to work. A specific law might be shown to have positive results in itself, but be achieved by an unsafe concentrating of power. In particular, I think the way the executive branch has been expanding over the last century is very concerning especially with stuff like the Patriot Act and everything associated with it.
Basically, especially right now it’s clear that a lot of the people in power are malevolently insane, incompetent and demented, and it’s really important that we maintain and improve protections to keep them from doing too much damage, so I am skeptical about ideas for major reform especially when the idea is to take the shortest path to policy goals.
Can you give any specific examples
Looks like slow dancing but then the guy got frustrated and pushed the woman away? Meanwhile another man plays drums on a chair and a woman brushes her eyelashes over a garbage can, all in a subway station or something
The police believe that the motive behind this hacking was to reduce network-related costs, as torrent transfers can be costly for internet service providers. KT, however, claims that it was merely trying to manage traffic on its network to ensure a smooth user experience.
Sounds like they admit it but object to the negative tone lol
So the metaphor here is lewd the AI, got it
As long as they aren’t putting ridiculous terms on model usage like SD3 and the weights are provided I’m happy with it
This often happens to me on Windows with the Index so it might not even be a Linux specific issue
It’s good to be skeptical of institutions, just don’t go dismissing or accepting science based on ideological/class association, that’s how you get shit like Lysenkoism
I want to do stuff
Total water absorption doesn’t matter that much because the significant thing is surface texture. If you’re going to dry them anyway you might as well instead wash them without directly pouring water on them.
Youtube’s actual website usually doesn’t even work for me anymore. The page takes a really long time to load and often gets stuck and doesn’t load at all.
