The design is very human

Stuart Semple also developed a comparably "black" black to Vantablack, that is arguably darker and better suited for art use.

No, you see, this is about how some people are just born with special powers that intrinsically make them better at work related to the one and only future of the coming AGI god.

DEI is about trying to ensure people have an equal chance. This is about establishing a new class of elites based on unchangable genetic traits. A class of "super" or "uber" men, if you will.

Ah yes, let's start the slow process of eventually funneling people into roles based off this shit. AI is the future, and potentially our self-bootstrapped god. Neurodivergence makes you better at this sort of work. You're one of the chosen people. High priest to Roko's ~~Ballsack~~ Basilisk or some shit.

I know that's extreme to say, but Peter Thiel, the money behind Palantir, recently gave some absolutely insane speeches about the fucking antichrist. The AI race is legitimately a cult with religious meaning to some of these fucks.

Also, brace yourselves for attempts to use this as a shield against criticism. You can't get mad at us for not understanding the concept of human dignity, we've got the billionaire international surveillance contractor stamp of the global elite approved neurodivergence!


To be clear, no hate meant towards the neurodivergent. I am one. All the hate to the fucking billionaires just transparently fucking over the world in every way they can.

It probably falls under the law. Most things like this don't define specific sites that fall under it, as that would make it stupid easy to manipulate, bypass, be used as market manipulation, etc.

If you check most Lemmy instance rules, most explicitly require users to be over 16. I always assumed it was so they weren't required to follow stuff like the US COPPA laws for handling data of users under the age of 14, and whatever the equivalents are internationally.

I've also heard one user say that they can't upload images on their instance as their instance blocked UK IP addresses from doing so to avoid some data law from the UK.

In ddg, you can customize your options and on the right there's a button/box to get the specific ddg link with them all pre-set. Replace the normal ddg "link" for your search bar with that one and you don't need to worry about cookies or settings following you.

Motherfucker, do we really need to bring back the corn?

Then you have to create a framework for evaluating the effect of the addition of each source into "positive" or "negative". Good luck with that. They can't even map input objects in the training data to their actual source correctly or consistently.

It's absolutely possible, but pretty much anything that adds more overhead per each individual input in the training data is going to be too costly for any of them to try and pursue.

O(n) isn't bad, but when your n is as absurdly big as the training corpuses these things use, that has big effects. And there's no telling if it would actually only be an O(n) cost.

On top of that, I personally set my default youtube app to be newpipe, so if I'm just casually browsing lemmy or elsewhere I can click a youtube link and figure out what it is, even watch it if I want, without it effecting my normal account and watch history.

If I like the video and want more like it, I'll share to the Youtube (Revanced) app and finish it there.

Literally illegal. As long as you can get a few other people to raise a stink with you, they can't do shit.

It can be fun to test just how mandatory these sorts of things are too. Playing dumb/forgetful can be fun and surprisingly effective. "Oh, I had to run out for lunch, I'm sorry. Oh god, it's been two weeks? I've been meaning to pack but I just can't find the time in the morning. Well, I'll take care of it now then!" (during paid time)

Right?

Beyond that, I honestly associate feeling like you're going to throw up a little with relief. Most of the time once you do, you're good. Manually trigger your gag reflex and move on with shit. Even if it's a serious "evacuate your entire stomach contents" level of multi-throwup, your stomach isn't infinite.

In college I always named my router Skynet.

 

Honestly? That's rookie numbers.

 

Definitely a repost, but it fits the season

My daughter is a little over two, and through well meaning family and friends we have more toys than we know what to do with.

My wife keeps buying what are essentially (fancy looking) big boxes and just dumping everything in them. Love my wife, but that's not working, it's just hiding some of the mess in a box.

We end up with these hardly ever opened boxes full of unorganized piles of toys that we end up having to dig through to find anything specific, and the toys that my daughter is actively using just end up scattered around the floor so they don't disappear into the box dimension.

Every once in a while my daughter opens and digs through the boxes and dumps half the contents on the floor anyway (not like she can see specific things to grab what she wants) and then we just kind of arbitrarily choose some of it to put back in the box and a new combination of mess to leave out.

Unfortunately we have another baby on the way, so I'm probably not getting my wife to let us toss any of it right now.

I'm leaning towards cubby shelves with individual bins for different "types" of toys like her daycare does, but I wanted to hear what strategies other parents tried, and what has and hasn't worked.
