I should use this as an excuse to finally get a NAS setup. Maybe.

Yeah, I’m afraid the tech bros cut costs by not saving backups and removing all the old ones. Hell, all our changes are made in prod, no staging allowed here.

I’m not convinced at least half of those communities trust Reddit and Discord enough to leave forums, but then again I stopped using them mostly because I haven’t had time for those hobbies. My emulation groups are still active on forums, at least.

Not crazy if you want to advertise on the down low. I worked a summer once doing that shit, it’s insidious. Blockers don’t even block someone pretending to like a product.

I don’t doubt that it’ll get better, although with the black box nature of these types of models, I’m not sure if it’ll ever reach perfection. I understand neural networks, it’s not exactly something you can flip the hood of and take a look at what’s giving you weird results.

Well, no, because what I’m referring to isn’t even news, it’s research. I’m an adjunct professor and trying to get old articles doesn’t even work, even when they’re readily available publicly. The linked article here is referencing citations and it doesn’t get more citation-y than that. It doesn’t change that when you ask differently, either, because LLMs aren’t good at that even if tech bros want it to be.

Now, the information itself could be valid, and in basics it usually is. I was at least able to use it to get myself some basic ideas on a subject before ultimately having to browse abstracts for what I need. Still, you need the source of you’re doing anything serious and the best I’ve got from AI are just authors prevalent in the field which at least is useful for my own database searches.

Yes, having tested this myself it is absolutely correct. Hell, even when it finds something, it’s usually a secondary or tertiary source that’s nearly unusable-- or even one of those “we did our own research and vaccines cause autism” type sources. It’s awful and idiots seem to think otherwise.

Now this is a community I can get behind, like a lifted pickup truck tailgating with his LED high beams on.

We know that it’ll probably be a suicide, as Windows is slowly taking it’s own life as we speak.

Ya know, if a writer for Oliver gets the right push, it isn’t even to strange to get them to literally open an instance on the Fediverse. They love getting their names on shit and the dare “I bet you can’t get @oli.verse instance to become the top Lemmy instance” would be right up their ally. You’d see a million users in a week, lol.

Using it myself, this is technically true but also it’s literally Twitter pre-takeover-- like a fork all the tolerable people started using. You’ve got your George Takei and your Stephen King, etc, so it’s what left of center normies can enjoy without being a little too far (like us, here).

If I’m being honest, I prefer to mix the two communities because a little too much Fediverse can make you go crazy, plus I spread Lemmy ideology there cause someone’s gotta bring up class warfare and Linux, right?

That’s what I was wondering. For a while I swear naked images of Rinkunn were more prevalent than The Picard Maneuver. I’m an All user mostly out of curiosity but disappointed that I think world defederated from one of the major furry ones cause that dropped considerably.

Wait, is disappointed the right word? I guess it is, although maybe i just miss their positivity. I’m still cool with hexbear being defederated, after all. Lol

Tacos are always nice.

You raise a good point. What other flags could folks surrounded by “patriots” fly for good fun?

I wouldn’t do pizza, but I like absurdity. A high brow option might be a pipe… but no, I believe I might go with a lovely, steamy cup of coffee. Or perhaps an uncropped picture of a your pizza flag waving in the air. Yes, I do believe that would be absurd.

You’re right. Where is the sadist NSFW community?!

Papa always told me to drill holes in my hard drives to “get rid of the evidence”. Didn’t you all get “the talk”, too?

This image makes me smile. I’ll just stick to indie stocks, tyvm.

To add, there’s movement in the government to subsidize AI with giant GPU farms (with their own power source, et.). Of course, I am pretty sure they’ll go with it anyway despite it being overkill.

It’s tied to a fair number of retirement accounts so your not alone, and things like this usually even out long term. That said, diversify your investments going forward in case a company folds or is sold off to Elon Musk, etc.

It’s especially nice when you use their special Microsoft store as sometimes they’re kind enough to install an app directly to your smallest drive, multiple times just in case you can’t find it. It even takes over security credentials so you nor anyone else can get rid of the files!

So nice to finally use all of my 516gb SSD, thanks Microsoft!
