If you print rarely inkjet is going to dry out and stop working, making them even more expensive and annoying.

There’s like 800 different furry communities, all for extremely specific fetishes.

How exactly does one accidentally insert affiliate data on links? At some point someone wrote that code, which is malicious in itself, even if the activation was accidental.

Why the fuck should your browser get a share from your amazon shopping? It’s doubly galling since they pretend to care about user privacy.

Having everything in quads only becomes important when you are animating the mesh.

And when using subdivision modifier

Yes always actually

I just wish people would stop making software choice their whole personality

I can agree that getting people out of poverty is cool. But tankies generally don't practice "critical support" of CPC. They practice unwavering boot-deepthroating. I have never heard anyone from that side of the left say (or acknowledge) anything negative about CPC. Any critiques put up is usually dismissed as "CIA propaganda".

I do agree that's it's a bit of a "no true scotsman" fallacy, but on the other hand many states call them themselves "democratic" without being so. At some point you have to look at the actual ideology and see if the state lives up to it. And nearly all self-proclaimed communist states simply do not. But it doesn't really matter if they are "real" communists or not - they are not what a lot of communists/socialist believe in and support.

I hadn’t looked up what Michio Kaku had said about quantum computing before, but it does not look well-regarded.

“His 2023 book on Quantum Supremacy has been criticized by quantum computer scientist Scott Aaronson on his blog. Aaronson states "Kaku appears to have had zero prior engagement with quantum computing, and also to have consulted zero relevant experts who could’ve fixed his misconceptions””

I’m hardly an expert on the subject, but as I understand it they have some very niche uses, mostly in cryptography and some forms of simulation.

It is not an issue of processing power, it’s a problem with the basic operating principles of LLMs. They predict what they “think” is a valid bit of text to come after the last bit of text.

Sure it could be verified by some other machine learning tool, but we have no idea how that could work.

But I strongly doubt LLMs are a stepping stone on the way to true AIs. If you want to get to the moon you can’t just build higher and higher towers.

Also quantum computers aren’t really suited to run artificial neural networks as far as I know.

I don’t want to murder them specifically, but I doubt they will let us take all their stolen wealth without a fight.

 
 

I feel like I could do this before the last version. How am I suppose to force-feed memes to my friends like this? :(

 

I feel like it just creates a potemkin village where we have communities filled with content that nobody interacts with or cares about.
