This is (maybe) the "beginning" of the end for Reddit, not the "end" of the end. The big change isn't Reddit, but here.
When Digg fell, everyone moved to Reddit. When this API situation started there was not an obvious new solution to move to. Lemmy/KBin were mentioned but not readily accepted due to concerns with the content and capabilities of the fediverse. That is changing quickly, and the next time Reddit screws up, we will have much more active communities, quality apps, and fewer bugs.
We need better solutions for proving identity online. Email, capcha, etc. are insufficient. I imagine a system similar to the certificate authority system, where you prove your identity to one of many trusted identity providers and then that provider vouches for you when you sign up for other services (while also protecting you anonymity.)
I think I'm starting to understand... If I go to an art gallery that allows photos, take some photos, and share them with a friend who is learning to be an artist, that seems to be generally ok and does not feel unethical. But if I take those photos to an underground sweatshop and use it to train a thousand people who are mass producing art for corporate use, that seems wrong.
If I think of the AI as a human analog, then I have trouble seeing the problem with it learning from the same resources as humans, but if I see it as a factory then I see the problem.
Not that AI should be treated with the same rights and dignity a person, but is this not a sort of double standard? I mean, do they publish games with art made by humans who learned from works the human artists did not own?
This was the last magazine I was still subscribed to, and they just sent me a renewal notice… well I guess this makes that decision easy. No way I’m paying the (fairly expensive) renewal price for a magazine that is gutting itself into a death spiral.
For me pain is multidimensional, there’s different kinds of “worst.” The short drop onto a hospital bed after surgery was by far the strongest, sharpest, brightest pain I ever felt, but it only lasted a millisecond. Kidney stones can be sharp and radiating, but the pain tends to be localized with ebbs and flows. Pancreatitis was not as “sharp” as a kidney stone, but it was bigger, harder to tolerate, more attention consuming, and came with aweful nausea.
One of the rare shows to actually live up to the hype and remain fairly consistent through out. I was worried the main plot wouldn’t live up to the first ep, but it held up and even exceeded that episode at times.
Solid episode to round out the season. Looking forward to season 2.
All the changes I’ve seen since the beta seemed to be end game focused at the expense of early game. Nice to see early game get attention for once.
Real progress and change takes work and money. Inflated social issues can be "solved" with policy. This whole mess is just policial theater that creates the illusion of governance at the expense of minorities.
Microsoft still sells single, non subscription licenses for Office. I think Windows is safe for the forseeable future, especially since they sell it to OEMs...
The lost cause doctrine and related overall glorification of the u.s. civil war era confederacy. The fact that there are confederate statues in states that fought for the union is insane…
I like the idea but I doubt it would work. Unless you want all laws signed with the comment:
