We do know we created them. The AI people are currently freaking out about does a single thing, predict text. You can think of LLMs like a hyper advanced auto correct. The main thing that’s exciting is these produce text that looks as if a human wrote it. That’s all. They don’t have any memory, or any persistence whatsoever. That’s why we have to feed it a bunch of the previous text (context) in a “conversation” in order for it to work as convincingly as it does. It cannot and does not remember what you say

Chat GPT can output an article in a much shorter time than it’d take me to write one but people would probably like mine more

It’s almost always a risk to other people. I can’t think of a vaccine that is for a non-communicable disease.

Tetanus? Least I didn’t think that was contagious

It’s the same impact. It’s the same amount of microplastic it just takes longer. If I give you the choice of 100 beans today or 1 bean each day for 100 days it’s still 100 beans. The total impact is identical it just takes longer.

An Important Hypothetical - What Android Apps Do You Install?? (sh.itjust.works)

You’re twelve years old on Thanksgiving at six thirty in the morning. You’ll be leaving for Grandma’s in about a half hour, and she’s lives a three hour drive away, going in one direction. You have nothing to prepare yourself on this journey, other than a tablet running Android Eleven. Beware, the speaker is broken and...

Still works. Just cause it’s not being developed anymore doesn’t mean it stopped working. Mind you I am using something based of Mihon nowadays, TachiyomiSY

I’d recently joined their Discord before it all went down. Like it happened within a month or so :/

I kept using YouTube Vanced up till I started getting video ads which took about 2 years iirc. ReVanced was eaiser than I expected to setup, thought it’d be a hassle which is why I put it off for so long.

Isn’t iFixit an Apple authorized repair center? Tf they breaking up with Samsung for when they’re just copying what apples been doing.

Traister101 ,

Hey! That’s exactly what Apple did when they came out with their third party repair programs! It’s like the only difference between all these companies is how shit they are, not that they are shit.

Semantic whitespace is awful because whitespace (something that you can’t actually see) has meaning in how the program runs. Braces { } for scopes gives you the ability to easily tell at a glance where a scope ends. Whitespace doesn’t allow for that. Especially, especially when you can accidentally exit a scope (two new lines in a row with Python) and it’s not actually an error (Pythons global scope). Yeah formatters and linters make this less of an issue but it sucks… Languages with legible symbols for scoping are significantly easier to reason about, see end symbols in Lua.

It’s complicated. Paul isn’t really a good guy, but he’s not really a bad guy either. He’s just a dude. He’s a dude who has limited vision into the future from which he cannot escape. He’s not using his future vision to pick the bad choices he’s trying to pick the best ones he can and the hand he’s dealt kinda just sucks.

Traister101 ,

It erases the type of what your pointing at. All you have is a memory location, in contrast to int* which is a memory location of an int

Traister101 ,

Sounds like the same shit those rare metal guys are always yapping about but with extra scams…

Traister101 ,

Nah bro that’s just the memory leaks, your supposed to force close and reopen it every so often so the OS cleans up after their shitty application

Traister101 ,

Smart pointers model ownership. Instead of (maybe) a comment telling you if you have to free/delete a returned pointer this information is encoded into the type itself. But that’s not all, this special type even handles the whole deleting part once it goes away.

Since they model ownership you should only use them when ownership should be expressed. Namely something that returns a pointer to a newly allocated thing should be a std::unique_ptr because the Callie has ownership of that memory. If they want to share it (multiple ownership of the object) there’s a cheap conversion to std::shared_ptr.

How about a function that takes in an object cause it wants to look at it? Well that doesn’t have anything to do with ownership so make it a raw pointer, or better yet a reference to avoid nullability.

What about when you’ve got a member function that wants to return a pointer to some memory the object owns? You guessed it baby raw pointer (or again reference if it’ll never be null).

There’s most certainly residuals, I’ve accidentally deleted then installed Windows on top of a bunch of my game saves. I found some random file recovery application and let it run for awhile. Guess what? Nearly everything was readable despite the fact it got wiped and then had a whole windows install.

NAND also experiences minor permanent damage on writes. Actually clearing the NAND involves a write as the charge has to be forced out (a write of 0s)

JetBrains might not be my friend but they don’t hold anywhere near the dev tool monopoly Adobe does for artists. Know what happens if JetBrains starts to blow massive ass? I finally sit down and figure out how to get my terminal editor working with my LSP. Yeah I lose some productivity but not as much as I’d lose by using Visual Studio or fuckn Eclipse.

Traister101 ,

Just to remind ya’ll we had this moral panic over TV, Music even Books. Is “social media” bad? Yeah, it’s bad for everyone. Should kids be on social media? Probably not. Using a phone doesn’t melt your brain it’s what you do on it. I think it should be obvious playing for example Minecraft on your phone is a much different form of interaction than watching TikTok is. We need to ignore these people lumping all forms of phone use together as that’s objectively stupid.

So as a recent child depression/mental health issues are so much more common because the world we were born into is very obviously getting worse. As a little Elementary schooler we actually had like snow. Like snow days each year were expected. I remember playing outside in the snow, coming inside to some nice hot chocolate and grilled cheese. Do I even need to tell you how it’s changed? The snow we do get is more extreme (power goes out) and for shorter periods of time. This year I believe we got about a week of snow you could reasonably play in, however you wouldn’t want to do that cause everyones power was out or it was a fuckn blizzard.

We’ve got nowhere to go hangout. Malls are closing (not that you could walk to em) parks are okay but you STILL cannot walk to my neighborhoods closest park cause A: there literally isn’t sidewalks the whole way and B: you’d have to cross two busy roads. Basically in short the world we were born into wasn’t designed with us in mind, instead it was designed for the car. Course that brings up the fact that we aren’t getting drivers licenses as often as earlier generations. We can get deep into it but frankly I don’t care this comment is already too long. Instead I’ll just tell you my personal experience and choice to not get a license. It doesn’t provide me any meaningful benefits. I’d lived life up till 16 needing to be chauffeured around by my parents or a friend’s parents to go anywhere which like all kids was something I hated as I knew I was a burden. So, as you’d expect the internet became our meeting place. It avoided the burden of being chauffeured around. Once I was finally able to drive, well, where would I even go? A friend’s house perhaps but well, we can just join a voice call and do it like that.

I mean doesn’t sound like you’re missing out on anything tbh

Well once they stop exploding next decade we can start working on that

They were born into a family who supports face eating leopards. That sucks! But now as an adult they’ve continued to support the face eating leopards. Sure being indoctrinated into a religion is a tough thing to break out of… but when you are being attacked by the very people who indoctrinated you it should rapidly become obvious they don’t have your best interest at heart.

Musk Admits He Doesn't Fact-Check Himself and Has Two Burner Accounts on Twitter (www.rollingstone.com)

Elon Musk‘s erratic posting on X, formerly Twitter, has come back to haunt him once again as a 22-year-old Jewish man pursues a defamation case over tweets in which the tech mogul baselessly suggested the recent college graduate was an undercover federal agent posing as a neo-Nazi during a street fight between far-right...

What right investments? He was born into money and failed into getting anything from his X.com (banking!) website which was bought out by PayPal long after he was fired. The only reason he got anything out of that at all was he’d kept the stocks around.

He “invested” in Tesla so that he could get a cool car (he royally fucked over the actual founders in the process).

Low cost space? Low cost space? Do you live on Mars or some shit? Every one of those “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” events cost over one Billion. That ain’t cheap buddy.

Thanks for well contributing to Lemmy but you sure are quite the annoying character. Now don’t go and abuse your newfound abilities and remove the blocking feature <3

ReVanced is a modded YouTube (and others) app. IE normal YouTube but you fuck with it locally to skirt what got the original Vanced guys. Adblock, OLED black theme same old thing Vanced provided. I’ve used NewPipe very little but I’d summerise a comparison as ReVanced has better user experience (thanks to Google making the app) and you can sign in/get notifications ect

Based

Not as many as some of the other people in here but mine’s not bad. Haven’t submitted anything in like a year too… It appears as though my stats are off a bit. I mostly watch YouTube on mobile and it’s reporting more submitted segments (same time saved) but strangely more personal segments skipped on mobile for less time I’ve personally saved. It’s using the same SB account thing so I douno whats up with that. Brings me to the same leaderboard even so who knows

Look I think even you should be able to understand that phones aren’t actually the problem here. Look around at the world around you. Where are kids supposed to go? You can’t walk anywhere. Are they supposed to just get chauffeured around by their parents until they can drive?

Social media is bad for everyone, that’s not unique to kids. The only reasonable solution to this problem is to remove car dependency and unfuck our zoning laws. Give kids places to go and they’ll go there. They love that shit but they hate being a burden and since the modern world removed those opportunities what else do you expect them to do?

Traister101 ,

That’s not a phone issue, that’s a place issue. Where can your daughter go (without needing to drive) to hangout with friends? Can she conceivably walk there? Can her friends? I’ve been hearing my entire life that I just need to go outside and Bla Bla Bla but I don’t have anywhere to go. The closest park is a good half hour walk and now there’s even sidewalks! How pleasant. There’s nowhere for children outside, it’s nigh impossible to walk anywhere and it’s not like your parents would let you anyway since there probably isn’t even sidewalks the whole way.

For perspective I live a very reasonable 10 minutes walk away from the elementary school I went to. I think you’ll agree that’s a reasonable distance for at the very least the older kids to walk. However it took them till I was a senior in high school before they put in the side walk. You literally couldn’t get to the elementary school on foot without walking on the side of the road for ~4 minutes. Even now the experience is awful and the crossings are unsafe. This is the world us phone kids grew up in. It’s not that we don’t want to go hangout in person, there’s just nowhere to go and by the time people can drive it’s far too late.

Also the high school is about 40 minutes walk, there’s even sidewalks the whole way (now (only on one side))! It’s an awful experience as there’s absolutely no shade and about half of it is down a stroad.

Traister101 ,

Haha no problem, I hate the damn things

Traister101 ,

I mean how else would I know what a stroad is lol

In this instance it’s supposed to mean N word hard R. It’s just being used to be racist

Expensive to build much cheaper to run. Doesn’t take much time at all at the scale of the electrical grid for it to pay itself off.

Traister101 ,

The heck why’s it’s more expensive now? I hadn’t looked in years wtf

Traister101 ,

Gotta love that monopoly money

Traister101 ,

It produces extremely long-lasting waste, on timescales humans are not equipped to deal with.

Very little waste compared to burning coal or oil which also produces waste we aren’t equipped to deal with. See oh idk global warming.

Traister101 ,

Nuclear is unexpectedly safer and less polluting than renewables. That’s including stuff like Chernobyl. Also less expensive overall. The plant itself is expensive yes but for the energy output/cost per watt it’s by far cheaper last I checked.

Traister101 ,

Huh? Bro what. What kinda oil shill would be promoting fuckn nuclear

Traister101 ,

Well I’m not calling anyone an oil shill so I’m sure you’ll feel very persecuted no matter what’s said to you

Traister101 ,

Nuclear is very expensive to build it’s the cheapest to maintain. Even accounting for horrible disasters like Chernobyl it’s safer and less polluting. But yes, renewables are great! Most of our power where I live is from a dam. My grandpa had his house heated primarily via solar energy. They generated enough power through solar that they were able to sell it off to the energy dudes. When solar was bad they’d get power from the nearby wind turbines or the dam. All this stuff is great, it’s way better than coal but a single nuclear plant would out perform all of that energy generation and ultimately, cost less.

Traister101 ,

Yeah nuclear waste is super overblown we can very easily store it away which isn’t exactly great but we fuckn bury our garbage so I’m cool with putting nuclear waste in some sort of vault

Traister101 ,

Yup right in my room preferably, keeps the heating bill down

Traister101 ,

Oh a serious note sure, most nuclear waste is actually PPE which is only mildly radioactive. Uranium glass will give you more radiation exposure than a bin of that stuff

There’s a couple grifters who pretend (or are stupid enough) to think so yes. It’s like the “doctors” the anti vax guys point at
