I don’t think the Nirvana shirts have ever really gone away.

rikudou ,

Just an anecdote, but once I had a dream so realistic, that when I woke up I was really scared, because I thought I was awake the whole time.

rikudou ,

And people will still buy it, proving to the companies it was a good move.

rikudou ,

Easy, just change the name.

rikudou ,

It’s a very good game, also available on GOG. It also has a VR version which helps with immersion. Earphones are a must to properly enjoy the game.

Pope calls for treaty regulating AI, warning of potential for ‘technological dictatorship’ (edition.cnn.com)

Pope calls for treaty regulating AI, warning of potential for ‘technological dictatorship’::Pope Francis has called for an international treaty to regulate the use of Artificial Intelligence, warning that the new technology risks causing a “technological dictatorship” which would threaten peace and democracy.

We may agree with what he says, we don’t agree with him saying anything on the topic. Come on, you already knew that. Why the strawman?

That ridiculous man should just shut up and concern himself with all the little boy raping his cult does.

@ChatGPT Is there a scientific evidence of God?

rikudou ,

@ChatGPT Isn’t it strange that something as prevalent as God would have no actual evidence available? According to Bible, God has been interacting with us for many thousands of years, yet there is not a single piece of evidence. Wouldn’t at least some evidence have to exist if God, as described in the Bible, actually existed?

I think we have many cavemen nowadays, so there were probably many 2500 years ago.

Is there somewhere adults can speak to someone in times of crisis?

Something like that kids help phone thing but for adults. I’m specifically looking for a website I saw posted somewhere weeks ago, I don’t remember the name, it was a free website where you could speak to someone - I don’t believe it was necessarily professionals. Apologies if the info I have is inadequate and thanks in...

rikudou ,

Isn’t there something similar in Vietnamese?

rikudou ,

No one is saying what they do is illegal, people just say they are cunts.

rikudou ,

You forgot quite a few roles!

Those guys touting a dead body on a car? Hamas.

Those guys starting a war they’re too weak to finish? Hamas.

rikudou ,

You should also specify the size you’re looking for, not much help without it.

rikudou ,

The physical size.

rikudou ,

Chromecast with Google TV is not an option? Xiaomi TV Stick 4K also seems good enough and is cheaper (though I have no experience). If you like tinkering with stuff, you can buy a Raspberry Pi and turn it into Android TV yourself.

How does Usenet content not immediately get DMCA'd into oblivion?

For instance, say I search for “The Dark Knight” on my Usenet indexer. It returns to me a list of uploads and where to get them via my Usenet provider. I can then download them, stitch them together, and verify that it is, indeed, The Dark Knight. All of this costs only a few dollars a month for me....

rikudou ,

Off topic, but is there any tutorial on how to do this Usenet thing? Feel free to contact me on Matrix, it’s on my profile.

rikudou ,

Joined! Linguistics has been a (lately slightly neglected) passion of mine for quite a while!

My favourite is that the average amount of legs is less than 2. So most people have an above average amount of legs.

rikudou ,

I don’t think anyone ever counts it like that.

rikudou ,

People make mistakes, so if it’s truly a former incel, I don’t see the problem.

rikudou ,

The real point here is that this kind of behaviour is one of things that made Reddit fucking awful and I’d hate to see it flourish here in the fediverse.

Too late, I’m afraid, it already does.

No moderation without representation. IOW: mods should be democratically elected.

Mod elections should be annual and no mod should enjoy that status for life.

There should be a mechanism for inducing a ‘no confidence’ mode election at any time otherwise the communities are likely to splinter into “real_” communities just as they did on Reddit which no community in the fediverse can currently afford.

How do you enforce this? You would need the admin’s cooperation. What if the instance admin is also the mod? If someone starts a community, is it fair to take it away from them, if you don’t agree with their moderation?

There really isn’t any way to prevent all this, it would have to be built into the platform itself and it’s too late to do that now. Furthermore, there are very few communities large enough for people to even want to vote for mods.

rikudou ,

You want to tell me this is not the western colonizers fault and the poor people of the east are not the victims in this? That’s outrageous.

rikudou ,

Yay, another point for the religion of peace, Islam!

rikudou ,

You’re most likely right, but I’d still love to see a world without religion because IMO it would be much better than this.

rikudou ,

I thought I was being obvious, but that was highly sarcastic.

rikudou OP ,

Yep, it uses pushing from the postgres to the webhook processor instead of polling for data periodically by an app. So after every insert, an event is pushed using the native postgres listen/notify mechanism and then the webhook processor doesn’t interact with the database at all.

rikudou OP ,

Yeah, everything you do takes processing power. This is done in a way that minimises the impact. There’s no insert-after-event that I’m aware of. Also I’m not sure what you mean by expanded.

rikudou OP ,

Pub-sub might work for some use cases, but it wouldn’t work at all for mine. I host my bots on AWS Lambda so I don’t pay for anything, unless the code is actually running. So the webhook essentially wakes the virtual machine up and after processing is done, it goes back to sleep.

Yeah, they make a new ongoing tls connection on every https webhook. Which doesn’t necessarily mean all db events, there’s quite powerful filtering available and everyone should use it, sending a ping for db events you don’t need to seems quite wasteful.

rikudou OP ,

This feels like a moot point. I promise you this is much more efficient than the rest of Lemmy is.

rikudou OP ,

Well, it stays warmed up some 15 seconds or so, but the important part is you don’t pay for that uptime. And if my bots ever get to 100s of requests per second, I’m gonna have to shut them down, I’m not that rich.

rikudou OP ,

It needs direct access to the db, so in my case it’s on the same vm as my instance.

It theoretically could be done in the webhook filter, it’s a full (but limited) language, I’d just need to add support for some functions.

Those are not really webhooks for public use but for the instance admins, so filtering by posts mentioning Taylor Swift should be more than enough. But yeah, you can just send everything to your bot if it can handle that.

rikudou OP ,

It’s not only for the Lambda use case, my main motivation was AutoMods - they are very resource intensive currently and need to run very often. What you needed to do until this package, was traversing all new posts and all comments in there to check whether they’re newer than the last post / comment you’ve moderated. Which is a lot of api requests every minute or two, you’re essentially DDOSing yourself. With this, your AutoMod receives the information that a new comment was created and you can fetch the comment in a single (relatively inexpensive) api request, instead of plethora of requests which are all fairly expensive.

Whether the webhooks feature is then exposed to other users is really up to each instance admins, I’m thinking of exposing the functionality for my instance’s users when I finish implementing all I have envisioned.

Of course bot authors can add support for webhook triggering which means the admins can then use it more effectively.

rikudou OP ,

No idea, I didn’t do any api development with Reddit, it felt way too oversaturated already. But event subscriptions are a common thing for such use-cases, so my guess would be actually very similar to what I have created here with this package.

rikudou OP ,

Should be simple to rewrite the bot to accept input from this! If you plan on doing so, let me know, I’ll add support for the applications table.

Cooking is just applied chemistry

You mix together chemicals and compounds, delicately adding them and heating them at specific temperatures to get a desirable output. You often have to care for other factors like air flow (how much to leave the pot closed or open) and material weight (like not adding too much in a cake or it’ll all sink to the bottom)....

rikudou ,

And physics is just math for kids.

rikudou ,

Because vendors realized they’ve made a mistake. They’ve lost control they can’t regain. Same thing with game consoles.

So, it’s actually a feature for the companies selling you phones.

rikudou ,

That doesn’t really make sense. Every paragraph, except the 2nd, also applies to PCs, yet you can install a different OS.

The reason is quite simple: more money from users.

rikudou ,

Would you ever consider buying individual parts, and building your own gaming phone?

Yes! Such a phone (that’s also sufficiently mainstream and modern) is a dream come true. I want no selfie camera, I have no use for that. I want a decent camera that’s totally inside the body (no bump, no need for 5+ cameras). I want a newest Snapdragon. I want a physical fingerprint reader. And literally no major phone manufacturer is gonna make such a phone.

Especially the Snapdragon one is pretty much incompatible with all the other things - newest Snapdragon equals whatever else is trendy, which means under screen fingerprint reader, 5+ cameras with a huge bump on the back and the tiniest possible selfie camera on the front which makes the display look uglier (I think I’ll be okay with under screen selfie cameras once they hit the mainstream).

If I got the option to buy a modular phone where all this would be as optional modules, it would be so great! I wouldn’t have to spend $1000 every time I want the newest Snapdragon and get all the other cool things I have no use for.

rikudou ,

Smart! Just today I took a very funny photo, but don’t want to break the anonymity of anyone in there.

rikudou ,

Meanwhile SmartThings isn’t really usable on my Samsung smartphone because they don’t support half the vendors I have smart stuff from.

rikudou ,

Nah, I’ll continue using Google Home.

rikudou ,

Steam should really hurry with finalizing SteamOS for other devices. They’re losing quite a lot of momentum, they could easily be the dominant handheld PC OS.

rikudou ,

More book releases than porn releases? This is indeed the weird timeline.

rikudou ,

I love reading articles like these!

rikudou ,

Yeah, the main menu is a really great mini game. On some Alan Turing anniversary it mentioned that it was that day. There are probably a bunch more dates it reacts to.

rikudou ,

I’m not sure how being occupied by Soviets really counts as being the bad guy, tbh.
