I’ve worked directly with some startup founders and they tend to not understand selection bias very thoroughly. Rather, they see themselves as inherently smarter than other people and eventually they determine that all the decisions they make must be the right ones. Even when their success is very obviously luck they eventually start to think as of they have an infallibility field around them which drives some extremely odd behaviors.

Yeah, for people who aren’t in the gun hobby space, Bloomberg in particular is really weird about guns. I’m not talking like effective ways of reducing violence, he’s constantly throwing money at pushing Kafkaesque regulations like this. His general strategy seems to be trying to reduce violent crime by making as much random unrelated stuff an arrestable offense as possible to the point where it (surprise) just makes it easier for cops to continue the cycle in low income communities.

Angry leftists. I get that it’s a hard thing to untangle, we’re so used to the aesthetic being associated with right wing psychopaths but nobody makes visually district leftist gear

I’m old enough to remember the Iraq “doublya emm deez” and GW calling everything nookyalar. It was pretty insulting to everyone’s intelligence.

This is…just openly taunting us.

It is building political pressure against them, they’re very clearly uncomfy within the administration. It may not directly fix all our fucked up shit but the admin blinked for the first time this cycle when it was looking increasingly likely that they had no limit and we were headed straight for a police state.

We survived last time by keeping them consistently on the defensive and for the first time we’ve managed to control the narrative again

This is so real. I’m forced to use it by my employer and it just sits there doing the cringiest shit all the time. Like everything is boilerplate and it’s just a deeply unsatisfying spaghetti mess of function calls. It’ll work if you have a good feedback loop, eventually, but only ever as a crude prototype.

Sitting on Lemmy waiting for some 338LM brass to dry in the oven then I’m back to the press to fill and seat everything. Have been putting off loading for my precision rig but recent events have introduced some new urgency to that task.

You raise good points, though I think the issue stands that our processors and farmers are extremely complacent to the point of being negligent. I can’t exactly fault Europe for not wanting any part of that, they generally care much more about food quality than we do here.

IIRC it’s not just hormones it’s bleached because we consider chicken with salmonella to still be fit for consumption. Our farming processes are so bad that we have to bleach the chicken to attempt to mitigate the hearth hazard.

No real substance here, the article seems to be editorializing the underlying research pretty heavily. Also, who knows if the underlying fmri research is any good given recent revelations about fmri studies:

Yeah, the systems in place right now took 40 years to build

Currently Anubis seems to be the standard for slowing down scrapers

https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis

There are also various poison and tarpit systems which will serve scrapers infinite garbage text or data designed to aggressively corrupt the models they’re training. Basically you can be as aggressive as you want. Your site will get scraped and incorporated into someone’s model at the end of the day, but you can show them down and make it hurt.

I think in theory you could do it if you had a separate relay, you might only need one for the entire I2P Lemmy community. The relay would always be exposed to some degree but it’s just a relay so it’s not going to attract too much attention, especially if the operators were smart and didn’t sync spicy communities to the clear net

They rip them apart and use the non-serialized components as repair parts. If apple didn’t try to overcharge for and restrict repair parts this would be less of a thing.

I think most people who have it figure this out pretty quickly. NT normies feel like they accept the world completely at face value by comparison and it can cause a lot of friction

But… Someone tried actually resisting and now we’re all hand wringing over it…

I see this on signs outside sometimes. I always wonder where the fuck they think the line will be though… The people who believe this shit generally live in the middle of nowhere and all the cities are deep blue so there isn’t a red state/blue state divide, it’s basically the network city state thing the yarvinists want but even that makes no sense because there aren’t really any red cities to form around

I’m gonna go work on my encrypted VHF/UHF mode then maybe DF some [censored] HTs

…sure?

This kid doesn’t know what he’s writing or why, he’s just coaxing cursor to vomit up commits and apparently that’s their only metric for success.

I work with AI tools and with people who are absolute top tier Cursor users and their shit is always broken. They iterate fast but they absolutely do not fully understand what they’re producing. It’s great for rolling out flashy UI quickly (apparently the only thing investors care about), then you watch it all go to shit the second you push because every update breaks everything in horrifying ways. It’s like watching the early days of enterprise C++/Java where everything was spaghetti, but 100x worse.

I don’t think this paradigm of AI is likely to rival a decent human developer, there needs to be a fundamental change in how the models work and how we use them. What were doing now is hoping quantity is somehow going to replace quality.
