Gnome Kat

I am also always immensely confused how gamers don’t see valve taking 30% of pc sales and not recognize that as greedy shit bag behavior.

We all know when google or apple does it on their app store its bad, or when spotify pays artists pennies its bad, or when actors are striking because of its shady residuals payout from streaming its bad. But when king gaben does it, its fine perfectly ok. Even though game devs are some of the most overworked and underpaid workers in tech. And then people wonder why games suck lately.

I mean… 👉👈

looks around at the fediverse uh we kinda already are…

Custom job? You could buy these corner desks in big flat packs.

I don’t think that was ever true even on Reddit. You can’t control how people choose to use their vote and I feel that is how things should be.

dont take the down votes personally, stating your opinion online risks people disagreeing. That’s all the down votes mean is people saying they disagree. it’s not a great look to add an edit complaining about downvotes. if they hurt too much maybe move to an instance that doesn’t have down votes like blahaj.zone, i find it very peaceful to not be able to see downvotes and let’s me worry less about stating my opinion on things.

also yeah I disagree with your comment but I can’t downvote from Blahaj ;)

but with a core dump you can just load it up and see the state of the process when it crashed…

im sure using AIM made you an AI expert too

Can we stop with this “not real AI” meme… it’s a painfully dull response at this point, why does the goal post have legs? Just because Penrose thinks quantum mumbo jumbo is needed doesn’t mean he is right, machine learning is completely outside his field of expertise.

im a rendering engineer. like GPU programming and engine programming.

How is this sub not meant for me? lmao followed me from the other thread, cringe

This comic makes no sense

Why would that be required for understanding? Presumably during the training it would have made connections between words it saw. Now that the training has stopped it hasn’t just lost those connections, sure it can’t make new connections but why is that important for using the connections it already has?

Copied this from another post I made… things make more sense when you realize what their true core principle is.

There is a good Adam Conover podcast episode where he interviews Corey Robin. In the episode Robin states the main premise of his book, which is that the central underlying ideology of the right is the belief that some people are better than others and deserve to be in power. A lot of the rights’ beliefs and ideas evolve over time but they evolve in service of that core idea. It’s the one thing that stays consistent over time going back to the french revolutions.

Multiracial, multiethnic, international cooperation, helping the homeless, helping the poor. No matter how you spin it by trying to convince them of the benefits ect, the right will never be on board. They don’t believe those groups deserve help or should be helped. They fundamentally believe it is morally good to depower certain groups and empower other groups.

That one idea explains so much of the rights blatant hypocrisy. Welfare disproportionality going to red states is good because it’s going to the good people. Rich people getting richer is good because it’s going to the good people. Hurting minorities is good because they are the bad people, helping them is bad. Some people are innately worthy and some people are not. Anything the good people do is good, anything the bad people do is bad. The same action can be good or bad depending on who is doing it.

My goto for easy multi threading is lock free queues. Generate work on one thread and queue it up for another thread to process. Easy message passing and stuff like that. It doesn’t solve everything but it can do a lot if you are creative with them. As long as you maintain a single thread ownership of memory and just pass it around the threads via message passing on queues, everything just sorta works out.

Capitalism is the only system that can make things dont you kno?

Mainstream media… left wing… all corporate media is neo liberal and firmly on the right.

An astounding number of people seemingly have no ability to do critical thinking

My feeling on the issue is that for a lot of people this sort of thinking is just not needed, at least not on the level to do actual academic research. I don’t think its inherent to who they are but just a reflection of the skills they have needed to develop throughout their lives. There is no pressure to develop a rigorous scrutiny of information if there is no consequences to getting the wrong answer. They can survive and thrive well without it. None of their peers are checking them. They might even do better without those skills, more resources to use developing the skills that matter to their lives.

A person who pursues stem as a career has something to lose if they get the wrong answer. Or other areas like journalism ect, I don’t want to imply its only stem people.

just my 2c

You can add, spelling words wrong to this list.

This might be a dumb question… but uh… what are the alternatives in the modern US?

How do people meet nowadays? Like there are no 3rd places left, I dont want to pay to be in some overmonitized club or some shit. I am long out of school. Meeting people seems next to impossible nowadays.
