  • Alarm as Pentagon Confirms Deployment of US Troops to Israel

    Jump

  • And most major U.S. media outlets are highly biased toward Israel for some reason. I don't know if I've ever seen the U.S. media this biased on an issue; I have to resort to small outlets like The Intercept or foreign media like Al Jazeera (which are biased in their own way), to stay informed. The only things comparable I can think of is the Iraq-WMD thing, and their perpetual bias against labor rights/for capital.

  • Looks like the U.S. is going to vote in an oppressive dictatorship to own the libs.

  • I agree with your overall statement, but if by environmentally conscious food, you mean vegan, it can easily be cheaper than an omnivore diet. Don't use any of the meat or cheese substitutes or many highly processed foods, and it will likely be much cheaper (and healthier) than an omnivore diet.

    On the other hand, industrial agriculture isn't very environmentally conscious; it basically turns fossil fuels into food (fossil fuel derived fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides; machinery, transportation, processing, and refrigeration powered by fossil fuels). Still more efficient than meat and dairy though, since the animals are fed the output from agriculture.

    I think EVs are about on par with ICE on total cost of ownership now (but higher initial cost still).

  • Thought this was a Republican ad for a second. Similar language and appeal to fear and ignorance.

  • AI image generators have been around for a fairly long time. I remember deepfake discussion from about a decade ago. Not saying the image in discussion is though. I remember Alex Jones making conspiracy theories that revolved around Bush and lossy video compression artifacts too.

    Hope you like socialism

    Jump

  • Humans used to live in socialist-like societies before agriculture. I.e. "primitive communism." I'd argue socialism is more aligned with basic human nature than capitalism.

  • It’s Time to Stop Taking Sam Altman at His Word

    Jump

  • Yann LeCun would probably be a better source. He does actual research (unlike Altman), and I've never seen him over-hype or fear monger (unlike Altman).

  • This is more complicated than some corporate infrastructures I've worked on, lol.

  • Pro-Trump ad uses Latin to target Latino voters

    Jump

  • With the Hispanic people I know that prefer Trump, it's the usual trumpist/Republican reasoning. Even down to anti-immigration, from a person who's father was an undocumented immigrant. Propaganda and desire to be in the in-group among your peers is wild.

  • Editorial: The teen arrested in Georgia school shooting is not an adult, and shouldn't be treated like one

    Jump

  • I don't think anyone is advocating for a "slap on the wrist." The U.S. criminal justice system is the most draconian in the West, and doesn't do "slaps on the wrist," unless you're in a particular economic or social classes.

    IMO, ideally, he would be sentenced for as long as it takes to rehabilitate him. Could be 5 years, 10 years, 30 years, or never, IDK, I'm not a psychologist. But, the U.S. prison system isn't really designed for rehabilitation either.

  • The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates

    Jump

  • Production AI is highly tuned by training data selection and human feedback. Every model has its own style that many people helped tune. In the open model world there are thousands of different models targeting various styles. Waifu Diffusion and GPT-4chan, for example.

  • I think you have your janitor example backwards. Spending my time revolutionizing energy productions sounds much more enjoyable than sweeping floors. Same with designing an effective floor sweeping robot.

  • AI are people, my friend. /s

    But, really, I think people should be able to run algorithms on whatever data they want. It's whether the output is sufficiently different or "transformative" that matters (and other laws like using people's likeness). Otherwise, I think the laws will get complex and nonsensical once you start adding special cases for "AI." And I'd bet if new laws are written, they'd be written by lobbiests to further erode the threat of competition (from free software, for instance).

  • Open source alternative to executables

    Jump

  • There's plenty of open source projects that distribute executables (i.e. all that use compiled languages). The projects just provide checksums, ensure their builds are reproducible, or provide some other method to verify.

    In practice, you're going to wind up in dependency hell before pypi stops hosting the package. E.g. you need to use package A and package B, but package A depends on v1 of package C, and package B depends on v2 of package C.

    And you don't need to use pypi or pip at all. You could just download the code and directly from tbe repo, import it into your project (possibly needing to build if it has binary components). However, if it was on pypi before, then the source repo likely had all the code pip needs to install it (i.e. contains setup.py and any related files).

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI.

    Jump

  • The search engine LLMs suck. I'm guessing they use very small models to save compute. ChatGPT 4o and Claude 3.5 are much better.

  • Is there any way to save storage on similar images?

    Jump

  • Yeah, the image bytes are random because they're already compressed (unless they're bitmaps, which is not likely).

  • Donation, patronage, gift economy, mutual aid, or whatever you want to call it is fine by me. People can pirate a lot of proprietary software as well, yet people still pay.
