I don’t see that at all. Perhaps you are just projecting your own issues onto Lemmy at large. I think you need to have a good hard look at yourself and your internal biases and then come back and apologise to all of us.

they’re presented in the time and place you’re more likely to interact with them.

Normally about 4 to 6 days late so you’re “forced” to urgently like or comment after " missing out" on something in their life.

As is tradition.

Search engines should have an off button for ai,

Techbros won’t let that happen, because they’re all terrified that consumers will just shut off all the AI being crammed into everything and all their money will evaporate.

The gains compound a bit too, 20 percent less weight equals proportionally less battery capacity required to shift the now-lighter vehicle from point A to point B.

So then you can cut the size of the battery while maintaining the same range, and that’s where you start to get significant overall weight and cost savings.

It’s all fun and games until your (insert vehicle here) crashes , or has a fire, or suffers a mishap, or reaches its destination and explodes as designed, and apart from all the normal problems you have with that, you also now have to contend with a few kilos of fizzed up nuclear fuel and some hot reaction by-products spread all over the place. You also have to contend with the neutron activation of the air passing through your nuclear ramjet, which makes it briefly radioactive, which is fine for a cruise missile that you intend to blow up in a few hours anyway, not so fine for regular transport routes.

Nuclear powered vehicles have some inherent risks with pain-in-the-ass consequences, and if we scale those small per-vehicle risks up across a worldwide fleet we’d see accidents involving them as often as we are aircraft crashes, and that’s not great.

Can it be disabled?

Sure! There’ll be a dialog box that comes up every single time that you wake your PC saying:

“Do you want to activate AwesomeAI™ now? 98 percent of the functions of this OS are crippled or unusable until you activate AwesomeAI™ so Microsoft recommends doing so immediately.”

And the two options will be “OMG Yes!” , or “Maybe Later”.

The problem is that the “release a minimum viable product, then update-update-update” software development model has reached cars.

But all other ways cost more and take longer to get to market which makes shareholders unhappy, so we can’t have that.

Australian here, this is how our voting system works. My method is literally putting the most repulsive politician last and then working my way up until I get to the least-repulsive.

Politicians dropped from the rounds can nominate another politician of similar views to give their votes to, so eventually the whole thing coalesces into politicians from three or four parties getting elected, but still gives the opportunity for minor parties to become major parties should the standing government of the day really piss people off.

Posts in linux@lemmy.ml are on average about 4 or 5 hours apart. I think we can squeeze these kinds of posts in amidst the hustle and bustle in here.

It’s really more about the overall flavor of the spreadsheet than how “right” any individual field is.

Just like the Xerox copier/scanners that helpfully kept scanned images small by reusing parts of the image elsewhere. Like, all these 6s on your scanned invoices can totally be replaced with 8s. There’s just a tiny degradation in the overall image, it shouldn’t be a problem!

Xerox should have just called it AI compression and people would have been throwing money at them.

It looks like your drive is going offline randomly, or at least, when it warms up a little. All the IO errors look like various subsystems trying to write to something that’s not there anymore, which is why there’s nothing visible in the logs when you look later.

Could be the drive, could be the drive controller on the motherboard, could be just that your nvme drive just needs to be taken out of its slot and reseated, could be something weird in your BIOS setup that’s causing mayhem (bus timings, etc).

Personally I’d reseat your drive in its slot first and go from there.

TL;DR ; let me give you an alternative opinion.

Money can be exchanged for goods and services, so I don’t have to be a hunter-gatherer. Cryptocurrency ends up either an being outright scam or rather difficult to exchange for goods and services in everyday use.

Whatever you setup, also do a reverse ssh connection back to a PC of yours and forward ports for SSH and VNC-or-similar to local ports on your PC.

That way if it still boots you’ve got a way to fix it remotely and with reverse ssh they don’t have to do anything with port forwarding on their end.

Dear article writers:

PLEASE STOP ANTHROPOMORPHISING CORPORATE ENTITIES.

They can’t feel terror, or anger, or ‘slam’ some other corporate opponent.

As an entity, they can make decisions and take actions. Assigning them emotional range gives too much credibility to soulless money making machines whose sole purpose is to create value for their investors.

Check and see if they can be hooked up to home assistant. If they can, and they expose start/stop functionality, then you can ask HA to start and stop them for you.

Then you don’t have to deal with the awful app/UI/external cloud server that they usually use.

This is just the cost of doing business for Anthropic.

No particular material harm to the business. Declare the matter settled, everything is fine and dandy, and now they have carte blanche to rape and pillage the next village dataset.

I found with my QNAP NAS that even just sitting the case on a piece of styrofoam made it considerably quieter. A lot of vibration gets transmitted through the feet and whatever it sits on gets turned into a sounding board.

Geoengineering is probably the only way to counteract things now.

But that involves fucking around with the bottom of our food chain in the oceans so there’s obviously a good deal of reluctance to start down that path.

• Algorithm shows a preview of a chaotic scene where the content isn’t easily identified.
• You open / interact / linger on it to figure out what is happening before identifying it as something you don’t want to look at.
• Algorithm detects increased interaction and happily serves up more.

I play a little game with Instagram sometimes. I click on one (1) thirst trap bikini girl post in the search reel. Then I see how many times I have to press the little 3 dot menu and pick “not interested” on allllll the other thirst trap bikini girl posts that immediately appear.

I generally have to press “not interested” about 15 times before my feed reverts to only having bikini girl thirst traps once every 20 or so posts.
