100% remains an overstatement- 90% plausibly. But I continue to argue that AI significantly helps me practically with coding, debugging, and learning stuff.

This phenomenon is known as Galilean invariance (or Galilean relativity). Yep, as well as all the astronomical shit, the same Galileo was also the first to describe this.

Programming quick scripts and replacement for Google/Wikipedia more than anything. I chat to it on an app to ask about various facts or info I wanted to know. And it usually gets in depth pretty quickly.

Also cooking. I’ve basically given up on recipe sites, except for niche, specific things. AI gets stuff relatively right and quickly adjusts if I need substitutions. (And again, hands free for my sticky flour fingers).

And ideation. Whether I’m coming up with names, or a specific word, or clothes, or a joke, I can ask AI for 50 examples and I can usually piece together a result I like from a couple of those.

Finally, I’ll admit I use it as a sounding board to think through topics, when a real human who can empathise would absolutely be better. Sadly, the way modern life is, one isn’t always available. It’s a small step up from ELIZA.

The key is that AI is part of the process. Just as I would never say “trust the first Google result with your life”, because its some internet rando who might say anything, so too should you not let AI have the final word. I frequently question or correct it, but it still helps the journey.

Some of their stuff does :( But they’re still 90% better in that regard

The sick thing is that this was clearly never an actual objective, otherwise he would’ve done it years ago. If the Democrats had won, he wouldn’t bother.

This is just posturing so he can argue he proved the left wrong.

I’m not saying the stats are necessarily wrong, but why do the numbers say the US is suddenly using like 300TWH less energy while China is using 2PWH more? Is that true? I think total consumption of energy generation types per capita is also likely a more revealing graph.

Waiting for seeders is definitely a thing, I once waited 8 months for a seeder to show up (and they did!)

For sure, and it’s a chill question. Unlike the other comment, I totally celebrate your fucking about with settings you don’t understand, it’s great. I’ve practically made a career of it myself :D

This is normal. This is a topic with a lot of complexities if you drill down into the details and history, but the tl;dr is certain system processes and other programs will preferably write data to swap because it’s so infrequently needed, and avoids massive slowdown if swap is needed, eg RAM filling, hibernation.

If you’re absolutely sure you’ll never exceed 32gb of RAM usage, you can turn the swap off. But you’re unlikely to notice a performance boost, Linux does (largely) know what it’s doing, moreso than you or I.

The TankieTanuki link is a good place to start to learn more if you really want to tweak it.

Putin’s vicious anti democratic genocidal land grab given to oligarchs Our glorious not-quite-elected Nazi-supporting coup acceding to western ownership and bought by major investors

How does this still happen? Emergency stop buttons are cheap, plentiful, and usually legally required.

What, no rankine?

The workers did collective bargaining and the bourgeois class found a way to fuck up the industry a new way. That is not the fault of writers, they are fellow proles, however well paid they are or aren’t.

Blame the victims if you like, but the only alternative is bootlicking.

True, but they’re also rigged in about five different ways to specifically not explode. And then about five more ways to breach and off-gas instead of blowing up.

You’d have to make major adjustments to actually have one violently explode. To the point where you’re just making a pipe bomb.

Radius is hard to say, they were like a tenth of a frag grenade (complete with the frag of batteries and pager bits.) Enough to blow a hole in a plane for sure.

I would know this as tmux, is there a difference?

This is too generous honestly, they basically Blairites, ie the left wing of the right wing. Officially opposed corbyn and all

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_war_crimes is also a start, though obviously misses out a good percentage of actual ones.

As well as being poor for opsec, without a very clear use case, I think this would just create more anxiety in people. I don’t see it making for a happier nicer community.

Is it wild? Hexbear and Twitter are two very different platforms for very different demographics and different forms of communication. I don’t think it’s cognitive dissonance to say different approaches are better.
