She didn't become a millionaire afaik.

She has a podcast that's slightly popular and was already well off.

Anon might stop feeling so jealous if they perhaps stopped making up random facts, or believing lies on the internet?

I've been looking for th8s for awhile too.

Not a locally run tool, but a self hosted web app (that I wire up to my self hosted db) that has a web portal I login to, and then can manage my db with a nice slick UI to define tables, relations, etc.

There's been some I've found but they vastly lacked basic features and were clearly in very early beta.

I use Hugo, it's not super complicated.

You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.

You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.

That's about all there is to it, it's a pretty minimalist static site generator.

Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.

Well yeah, I'd hope so, that's the entire point.

Catcha's data collection always was with the intent for training ai on these skills. That's "the point" of them.

It's reasonable to expect that the older version of captchas can now be beaten by modern ai, because they're often literally trained on that exact data to beat it.

Captcha effectively is free to use on websites as a tool because the data collection is the "payment", they then license that data out to people like OpenAI to train with for stuff like image recognition.

It's why ai is progressing so fast, captchas are one of humanity's long term collected data silos that are very full now.

We are going to have to keep progressing the complexity of catches as it will be the only way to catch modern AIs, and in turn it will collect more data to improve it.

Not quite.

It's mostly wisdom of the crowd, as it always has been.

As long as you mostly click the same squares most other people click, you pass.

You often at random get 2-3 images because 2 of them are actual checks, but the third is a new image that you auto pass and they're using it to gather data on what the average clicks are on it.

Sounds like a real story, and definitely not the sour grapes rambling of a racist incel...

Because having people download static map data for the entire planet just to play a game is untenable.

You shouldn't have to download the entire planet though.

The game 100% should support installing local specific areas you wanna fly around, that anyone could then keep a copy of.

If a user wanted to cache an entire 8 TB of the entire world on a drive, they should be able to just do that (and thus have forever support without worrying about internet services staying online)

At least, as a snapshot of what the world looked like in 2024.

I don't see why users shouldn't have the option to locally HD save the data if they want to, to avoid maxing out their internet bandwidth in one sitting.

"Move Fast and Break Things" is Zuckerberg/Facebook motto, not Musk, just to note.

Dunno why ppl are down voting you, this is 100% the way.

Architecture as code is amazing, being able to completely wipe your server, re-install fresh, and turn it on and it goes right back to how it was is awesome.

GitOps version controlled architecture is easy to maintain, easy to rollback, and easy to modify.

I use k8s for my entire homelab, it has some initial learning curve but once you "get it" and have working configs on github, it becomes so trivial to add more stuff to it, scale it up, etc.

They aren't getting rid of chromecast, the title is clickbait.

[–] pixxelkick@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

There are 2 CCwGTV models, only 1 of then is being discontinued.

The other one sounds like it'll keep being sold.

But also you can always just buy a chromecast, just cuz they aren't being actively produced doesn't mean you can't find em online

I have no idea what people are fucking up tbh.

It's 2 button clicks to cast stuff, I just went and sanity checked.

The internet is full of disinformation and idiots though so I usually just assume people are the issue, when I have the same hardware and zero issues.

I don't think chromecasts have even gotten any kind of major change updates in ages so it's bizarre for it to change behavior.

I'm gonna just keep going with "people are dumb" until someone posts some concrete example (IE an actual video) of wtf their issue is.

The chromecast is designed so simply though that I can't imagine wtf people are fucking up.
