Funny what happens when the small dicked get into positions of influence

In eu. Its amazing what happens when legislation works.

The thing that shits me about this is google appear to the public to be late to the party but the reality is they DID put safety before profit when it came to AI. The sheer amount of research and papers put out by them on AI should have proven to people they know what they’re doing.

And then openAI throw caution into the wind and essentially make google and others panic knee jerk because there’s really money to be made, and now everyone seems to be throwing caution into the wind and pushing it into the mainstream before society is ready.

All in the name of shareholders.

Not sure why we’re arguing this quote with the same two games over and over. Nms and cyberpunk are great games, but they’re a rarity.

Game Dev crunch is a plague in th industry, we suffer as consumers who cop bad releases on release. The whole industry could learn from its roots and delay things for a better initial product.

Defending the current practice of redevelopment in post is almost consumer gaslighting.

Just use gmail…come on. Who’s using clients in 2023. Even outlook’s web interface is better.

Weirdly, bard seems to have gotten significantly better around the same time. Are we just getting used to the tools and there’s homogenisation of experience going on or what?!

Niceee

Yeah the strikes and union action hasn’t helped either. Just give them what they want so we can go back to regular ish trains lol

Yeah but the bus uses the same road as cars so other than being cheaper, you’re getting stuck with traffic

Germans. Come to Melbourne Australia, and as you get off at the airport realise there is no connecting train to the city. Cabs only.

Brought to you by the cab industry/lobby.

Jimmy Carr was on Joe Rogan (I know he’s awful but it was a decent episode) recently and was talking about how Hitler worked out propaganda works best when the “other” feels alien, which is why he closed down clubs in the 30s. Seeing Jews as “one of us” through clubs and hospitality made the propaganda against them ineffective because they were just seen as one of the people and this Hitler guy was just a nut, the whole movie cabaret being about it.

I think you’re right. Melbourne is an amazing melting pot of people, so it’s difficult to be not emphatic towards a cause that would improve their QOL

It’s interesting to see the breakdown by electorate. Electorates close to Melbourne and Sydney cbds voted yes. The further out of vic and nsw, the more the no grows.

Qld, wa, NT and SA didn’t have the same problem. Blanket no.

Tldr, the progressive part of the country that wants this is city focused. The rest of the country has a long way to go.

Kind of, yeah. But the foldable gives a tablet experience that you just fold and put in your pocket. It’s epic.

Very true about 3DS…

I mean I’m on my fold 5 right now while watching a YouTube video and responding to messages at the same time… doesn’t feel like a gimmack to me. In fact I kind of feel like it’s going to be hard to ever go back to a single form factor phone.

Forget chrome management. Any IT shop worth their salt is protecting their egress with a proxy, explicitly or transparently set.

Don’t browse the net on your employer’s network or devices. Use your phone. Get on 4G/5G.

Also good to remember there’s also newer tech like alphafold from the deepmind project - using AI to really, really accelerate development.

Absolutely blows my mind.

It’s a technical set of problems.

• Where does the front end live, who hosts it, who pays for the compute, and what determines the latest version is the truest version
• where does the data sit. Posts, media, content, and how does this get referenced properly in a safe way.

What’s funny is truely distributed compute is totally possible today, thanks to a lot of work done in the blockchain community. Notice I said blockchain and not crypto, we don’t want the bullshit associated with that (coins, nfts etc). What we want is distributed compute and storage that can be read in a way that provides the same function as Reddit etc. Coupled with a good client experience like sync.

The biggest problem with that though is that blockchain that is truely distributed is slow by nature, because each block of data is distributed and validated to all nodes that host to keep consistency. And the larger a site becomes, the more data there is to store, and the more resource intensive verification becomes so therefore the nodes slowly gain a higher set of requirements.

So the middle ground is something like Lemmy. Where you can run your own instance, that talks to a wider federated network of instances where no one single entity can control the content.

In tech, a lot of the above is explained by a concept called CAP theorem. It’s a really interesting problem that has only really been solved by a few vendors (google spanner is a good one) but even then it doesn’t cover the distributed part.

Actually never thought of it this way before, but that may have also been the point the way reddit works changed

Love this, super enlightening!

It’s not really right wing. It’s just anti type of human. You can be a conservative without the deep desire to suppress a type of person or lifestyle.
