I have two chimps within, Laziness and Hyperactivity. They smoke cigs, drink yerba, fling shit at each other, and devour the face of anyone who gets close to either.
They also devour my dreams.
I’m mindblown at him being mindblown.
Oh wait, I’m not. Because I know those CEOs are completely detached from reality, and take users for dumb cattle ready to be herded.
Funny but insightful comment from the link:
“Never get high on your own stuff. A lesson this guy doesn’t seem to have learned…”
Fediverse, please enlighten me - is Windows a drug? …on a more serious note, “don’t overestimate the desirability of what you’re trying to sell” is sensible advice.
I am talking about the sort of everyday interaction that would make a 5yo get scolded for not being nice. This is clear by context.
Her 5yo got it right.
By default you should be nice to people. Care about their needs, avoid offending them (and if you do, apologise), avoid unnecessary lies, all that thing. And since most people are surprisingly reasonable, they’ll do the same towards you.
However. There’s always “that” arsehole, petty, assumptive person. No matter how nice you are towards them, they won’t be nice to you. Don’t be nice to them - even if on the outside it’s irrelevant, it’ll eat you from the inside and make you feel like shit. Or, like she said, “hurt your energies”.
TL;DW: execs assume monopoly from market dominance, without taking into account other stores could contest said market dominance.
This reminds me a bunch of dumb jokes in Portuguese between “RAM” and “rã” toad. Including questions about “memória sapo” (toad memory).
Side thought/my own ramblings here: Has there ever been hosting where the information is scattered across the world rather than one localized spot? That seems like it might be helpful, but I honestly don’t know enough about site hosting
In a certain sense we are using a system like this, due to federation. I don’t think the exact same model would work well for Wikipedia, but it could try something similar.
“What I can tell you is that over the years, conservatives, libertarians, were just pushed out,” Sanger said. “There is a whole…army of administrators, hundreds of them, who are constantly blocking people…that they have ideological disagreements with.”
“Oh noes, people in Wokepedia aren’t willing to accept my opinion that gravity doesn’t work on Fridays!”
“Wikipedia is losing its objectivity @jimmy_wales,” Musk posted in 2022.
If you’re really, really invested on 2+2 being five, then 2+2=4 becomes “subjective”.
In my opinion Wikipedia being hosted in USA is a liability. Or even being hosted in a single place, whichever it is.
If a megacorporation could profit nine zillions and fifty dollars, and instead it’s profiting only nine zillions, its shareholders are already screeching at the CEO “YOU INCOMPETENT FOOL, YOU’RE ROBBING US FIFTY DOLLARS!”.
For each 1kg of cheese you need around 10kg of milk. Add labour and storage costs - specially relevant for aged cheeses.
Any fuckin windows?
No. But at least some of those doors are cardboard. You need to test it out before claiming it’s impassable. And, sure, once you pass through someone is bound to screech “WHY DID YOU DESTROY THE CARDBOARD DOOR, YOU VANDAL? It took me a day to build it!”, but that’s part of life.
I hate poorly made security/identity systems in general, but by far the worst is poorly made 2FA.
No, I’m not giving you my number; and if using your site requires it, I’m probably giving up using your site. Ask my email and I’ll provide my burner account.
Even then, for cloud storage; cryptography is an additional layer of protection, but all this data should be kept offline as much as reasonably possible.
If I were in charge of the defence department of a government, there’s no way I’d ever allow closed source software to even touch machines with sensitive data. Or even pre-compiled software. Because the problem is not what you see, like personnel; it’s what you don’t, like bribery and backdoors.
Let alone use “cloud” computing. Come on… it’s someone else’s computer.
If mods aren’t games, then gravity doesn’t work on Fridays. Dumb arbitrary restrictions being pulled out of nowhere.
I don’t know the rootstock variety’s name; I got the seeds from my BIL’s neighbour, he calls it “ball pepper” (it is not Catalan ñora) or “tree pepper”. The fruits are round, 3~5cm large, red, medium heat.
The grafts will be:
The first three are part of a breeding project of mine. I want to create two new varieties:
I’m also considering to add the rootstock to the breeding, since it’s a hardy plant with high yield and it survived winter just fine.
Yes, but I think the ones you’ll see past the bubble burst will be a bit different. For example, incorporating the current attempts of natural language processing, even if in a simplified way.
I use those quotation marks because IMO they’re better described as large token models than large language models. They have rather good morphology and syntax, but once you look at the higher layers (semantics and specially pragmatics) they drop the ball really hard. Even if those layers are way more important than the lower ones.
For a rough analogy, it’s like a taxidermised cat - some layers (the skin and fur) are practically identical to the real thing, but it’s missing what makes a cat a cat, you know? It’s still useful if you want some creepy deco, but don’t expect the taxidermised critter to ruin your furniture or to use your belly as sleeping pad.
I shouldn’t be talking so much about taters. Someone will eventually realise I’m too emotionally invested into food 🤣
Completely off-topic, but in the meantime I’m trying to graft an orange sapling into a lemon tree. Kind of hard to get the timing right, too; I need the tree to get a branch with just the right thickness, so it’s like “too thin [next day] too thin [next day] fuck, now it’s too thick!”. Same deal with my pepper plants.
Nah, quoting Stormfront is not a bug. Quoting well-sourced facts retrieved from Wikipedia is.
