I’m just some guy, you know.
$3,500 on a toy is not “pretty expensive”, it’s 3 months salary at minimum wage. It’s 7 times as expensive as the Quest 3, which actually has a user base, and 11 times as expensive as the upcoming Quest 3S.
It certainly pays a couple of mortgage payments.
Yeah, but if you’re interested in running an LLM faster than 1 token per minute, RAM won’t matter. You’ll need as much VRAM as you can get.
Yeah, sure, if it was an adversary like the U.S. government and not a Russian ally like Elon Musk…
Yeah, with that many users you need like $30/month on AWS…
The guy who set it up probably quit, and nobody knows how it works now.
I have IPv6 at home, at work, on my phone, and my hotspot. I have them on my websites and servers. IPv6 is everywhere for me. I use it all the time. Most people do and don’t even realize it.
IPv4 still reigns supreme on a LAN, because you’re never going to run out of addresses, even if you’re running an enterprise company. IPv6 subnets are usually handed out to routers, so DHCPv6 can manage that address space and you don’t need to know anything unless you’re forwarding ports on IPv6.
For the Internet, just use hostnames. There’s literally zero reason to memorize a WAN address when it could be an A/AAAA record.
The prohibition on public exposure of breasts by women and girls over 10 years old is now gone from the city code as of this week.
I never thought I’d be conflicted on this, because I am absolutely of the opinion that female breasts and nipples shouldn’t be treated as exclusively sexual body parts, especially since men have them too and we aren’t held to that standard.
But being confronted with the idea that 10-17 year old girls can now bare their breasts in public without restraint reminds me that treating female bodies as non-sexual is great as an ethos, but it is not reflective of reality, and that this specifically could be problematic.
But how to solve it? You can’t make it an 18+ only rule, or you’re further entrenching the idea that female breasts are exclusively sexual and adult, but if you let teens and tweens go topless, they will be sexualized / ogled / photographed by adult men, and that’s a bad precedent to set as acceptable. We usually treat photographs of underage female breasts as a form of CSAM, but can we still say that if we’re treating female breasts as non-sexual? This is an interesting new line to draw, given societal attitudes on adolescent nudity.
Regretfully, I believe that the true problem is men. The reason women have to cover their breasts is because they have to protect themselves from men. I’m all for bodily liberation and the de-sexualization of female existence, but we need an overhaul on our society’s attitudes towards women in general if we’re going to get there. Maybe bare breasts help get us there. Maybe girls need to learn the right way how to kick a man in the balls before they go topless.
I love this kind of delusional statement.
“Researchers spent tens of billions of dollars, and put decades into research, and now that there is breakthrough progress in applied machine learning, but we should bury all knowledge of it and abandon the entire sector because of vibes.”
Scepticism of AI businesses and hype is perfectly understandable, but you’re not putting this cat back in the bag…
I’ve owned one of those. It’s a piece of shit.
Look, if Excel is the last mile and everyone is properly plugged into a corporate database to pull numbers, then great.
But way too many companies manage everything from a network share full of xlsx files…
Human intelligence created language. We taught it to ourselves. That’s a higher order of intelligence than a next word predictor.
it blows my mind how one person can do it.
One person can’t do it. When you’re making FOSS you’re standing on the shoulders of giants. Most of the code that makes up this app wasn’t coded by the developer of this app. Also, there are multiple people committing code to this repository, so it literally isn’t just one guy developing this app specifically.
Look, I enjoy these comics, but OP is clearly looking for philosophical literature not loosely-coherent lore-driven webcomics…
They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We’re a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We’ll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it’s fun.
We’ll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We’re already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren’t shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We’ve been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that’s already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they’ve threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can’t is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You’re not special, you’re not original, you’re not the first; this is just another boss fight.
It depends on context. If someone says “a creep complimented my hair”, I’ll take their word on it. No need to be an ass and say “Well, if they were only complimenting your hair…”
Sorry, it’s never “only” a compliment. Women know when men are being creeps. Even the most vanilla compliment can be deeply inappropriate.
“Your hair looks great today”, he told her:
I don’t wanna hear “but he only said” arguments coming from anyone who didn’t see how the creep said it.
The whole “it was just a compliment” crowd is wrong
Yep.
But if someone’s literally just saying something like “your hair looks great”…
Huh, thought you were just explaining that you were better than this. Oh well…
I know that actual game mechanics cannot be patented or copyrighted
In America, sure. But these are two Japanese companies…
I’m not an expert on Japanese copyright and patent law, but I don’t have a great outlook for Palworld.
Stop downvoting this poor guy. He thought this community was a place for weirdos like him. He just misunderstood the assignment.
I’m campaigning for Harris. Democracy is participatory.
