contacting my representatives is exactly as useful as writing a letter to santa

this is insane. why can't we vote for them not to be able to do this? isn't this a democracy?

i hate how this "best performers" rhetoric always comes out in WFH discussion. everyone should be able to work from home if it's better for them regardless of if they're The Best at their dunder-mifflin ass job

awful ethics aside what a disgusting waste of processing power. software already barely runs

extras, commentaries, it's nice seeing your favorite films on a shelf

i try to put in the disc, hit play, and just walk away so i miss all the garbage and the paragraphs warning me about prison time. kinda kills the mood

imagine showing this post to someone in 1995

shit has gotten too bloated these days. i mean even in my head 8GB still sounds like 'a lot' of RAM and 16GB feels extravagant

it seemed truly cozy and community-based for the first decade or so. you could buy gold to directly pay for servers and that was it, no greedy monetization or shittification. then awards came out with the same transparency, and it was fun to reward people for good posts (i gave gold partially to bookmark excellent comments for myself, as well). then spez got into coke (probably, i dunno, or hit his head very hard on something) and we have modern day reddit, a trash heap. i like how they deleted all the old awards and gold records, pure spit in the face to anyone that still believed in anything they were doing.

lmao copyright isn't important

if copyright were abolished worldwide today, we'd be in a happier place. people who buy things generally want to buy from the official source anyway, those official sources might even have to cut prices or (god forbid!) have to make their services better to compete in the market

is cyber'stalking' even illegal? there's something incredibly harmless about scrolling thru someone's instagram that showing up outside their house repeatedly doesn't seem to compare with

 

Companies are training LLMs on all the data that they can find, but this data is not the world, but discourse about the world. The rank-and-file developers at these companies, in their naivete, do not see that distinction....So, as these LLMs become increasingly but asymptotically fluent, tantalizingly close to accuracy but ultimately incomplete, developers complain that they are short on data. They have their general purpose computer program, and if they only had the entire world in data form to shove into it, then it would be complete.

 

how is the value proposition here? was this an adequate use of money?

(keeping in mind as well fwiw i don't eat meat)

 

The general consensus in that thread is that, while the Vision Pro can play "flat" porn videos on sites like PornHub, there is currently not an easy way to play 180 degree side-by-side videos on the Vision Pro, which is how most commercial VR porn is filmed.

 

who tf is muenster spade

 

this contradiction always confused me. either way the official company is "losing a sale" and not getting the money, right?

 
 

i've always felt somewhat different than everyone else growing up, in terms of just...sensibility, or how i'd act or react to things, and especially with who i was attracted to. lots of straight girls, sure, but also this meme (sorry for reddit --> https://www.reddit.com/r/pansexual/comments/nw4fmv/ahh_who_can_relate/). it's good to know there's a real framework behind it and i'm not just some lecherous monster

i already feel this noticeably difference sense of presence, of comfort and ease with myself; just having a label like this makes so many little things click into place that i never even realized were making me feel different or self conscious before. similarly, i thought i might've been trans for a summer, but transitioning felt maybe too drastic or scary and too much of a departure from a body i had some level of peace and experience with.

but yes that's me, typing words. it's a lot to process
