“Elevated Jam Tracks” on youtube (mostly chords and no distracting words/vocals).

I’m sorry it troubles your mind so much that you had to make a post about it.

Personally witnessed or it didn’t happen.

Taking a step back, i wonder… we are reading this stuff now, it effects us too. What if we have already stepped into a linguistic death-spiral of a telephone-game where each generation gets rehashed garbage from the last?

This reminds me of my old phone. I downloaded a podcast on it that had a shock-opener and for some reason was always “the next thing” the sound/music player wanted to play. So many times, by accidental touch inputs or clicking the headphone button, or the like, my phone would randomly scream: "WHO DOESN’T LIKE TO PEE IN THE SINK!?!?!”

Double-twist-back: it’s not under a special TLD, so you can transfer it to another registrar.

What does this mean on Google Maps?

My best guess is it’s a busy road so it’s dangerous and not really meant for bicycle and walking. I’ve done 13 miles yesterday to get a comic book on a bike and this right here is the distance between my house and a friend’s house I told I can come on bike because what I just did gave me a feeling I could do it but my...

It might tell you to go a way that is unsafe, blocked, impassable, flooded, etc.

As a non-techie, where/how can I find out if software is safe?

I’m a fan of FOSS and reasonable privacy with data. I also often look for and install software on my computers for random tasks as they come up. Today, when I was looking to install an extension to Firefox called Wikipedia-EN that helps me search Wikipedia by highlighting a word, the Mozilla page for the extension states:...

Both practically and theoretically, it might be impossible. It basically comes down to trusting trust. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ7lOus1FzQ

TSMC's $65 billion Arizona facility can now match Taiwan production yields according to early trials (www.techspot.com)

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has reached a significant milestone in its expansion into the US. Recent trial production at the company’s new Arizona facility has yielded results comparable to those of its established plants in Taiwan, according to Bloomberg, which cited a person familiar with the company who requested...

To assume that a GPT is right is to assume everything on the internet is right, as from that it arose.

xia OP ,

Then I suppose the question is reduced to how one should select the 5 people! :)

xia OP ,

To the victor goes the scholarship.

I would suggest getting an ortholinear keyboard. When I first switched to a Kinesis advantage, the FIRST thing I noticed was how many terrible habits I had of hitting a key with the wrong finger (even twisting my hand about, if you can believe that). Having keys in line with actual finger geometry cured that mess up real quick!

Can i safely turn the power on on this open outlet? if not, how do i solve this? (solved)

The reason this outlet is open was because my washing machine was connected directly to it. I was advised to close it up by the people who took my old washing machine away. However i dont think i can wait until my friend has time to look at this. I likely cant turn the power on on the outlet at all right now i assume, how can i...

xia ,

I assume that is the intended purpose of the wago connector over the hot line.

xia ,

Perhaps more important is to have devices start or fall open… if the OEM has lost interest in it, let others support the device. Make ewaste valuable and avoidable.

Another missed opportunity to bring back the headphone jack.

The natural general hype is not new… I even see it in 1970’s scifi. It’s like once something pierced the long-thought-impossible turing test, decades of hype pressure suddenly and freely flowed.

There is also an unnatural hype (that with one breakthrough will come another) and that the next one might yield a technocratic singularity to the first-mover: money, market dominance, and control.

Which brings the tertiary effect (closer to your question)… companies are so quickly and blindly eating so many billions of dollars of first-mover costs that the corporate copium wants to believe there will be a return (or at least cost defrayal)… so you get a bunch of shitty AI products, and pressure towards them.

xia ,

I’m not talking about one-offs and the assessment noise floor, more like: “ChatGPT broke the Turing test” (as is claimed). It used to be something we tried to attain, and now we don’t even bother trying to make GPT seem human… we actually train them to say otherwise lest people forget. We figuratively pole-vaulted over the turing test and are now on the other side of it, as if it was a point on a timeline instead of an academic procedure.

No, Neo. When you’re ready… you wont need a lighter.

Anybody see where you put the fuel nozzle?

Guilt by statistical association… (i.e. word distance).

xia OP ,

ELI5: “Up to 100” means “<=100”. So 0% still falls in that range. Could even be negative (counter-productive).

xia OP ,

I guess if it over-performs you could always return it as defective.

In John Carpenter’s 1988 film They Live, Hoffman lenses are depicted as special sunglasses that allow the wearer to see hidden messages and the true nature of their environment. When the protagonist, Nada, puts on these glasses, he can perceive the concealed presence of aliens and view subliminal messages such as “OBEY” and “CONSUME,” which are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. The lenses serve as a symbolic tool for revealing the film’s critique of consumerism and social control.

I like seeing the detail that they painted the bottom sky-blue, and the top ocean-blue. Easy ounce of stealth?

So instead of keeping a phone roughly the size of a pocket in your pocket, they expect us to want to put “bricks” in our pockets that unfold into phones.

Fusion?! Yep, that IS some spicy mayo!

What gets me is the “this phone cant be trusted” message on boot. Implying OEM roms are trustworthy, but nothing i choose or create could possibly be.

Good thing that the toilet stopped the walls from closing in!

Fine, you may now call it nuclear-derived power, the rest of us will keep the old term.
