  • Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th.

  • Gambling, pretty much. They go all in on a bet that it will explode and make tons of money, take out loans based on that expectation, setting themselves in a position where either it is a major success or it is an utter failure, no in between.

    The gaming market is so saturated these days that it's kinda baffling this approach is still being taken. Like I hadn't even heard of this game before this.

  • Google faces lawsuit after Gemini chatbot allegedly instructed man to kill himself

  • I am also curious how it could have possibly ended up suggesting that. Like I wonder if he was steering that conversation and the LLM was playing along, if the LLM randomly steered the conversation into the spy and suicide shit, or if someone else was deliberately fucking with this guy via secret text added to the prompts or something.

    Though I'm also curious how anyone can get in the mindset where they'd actually go along with that suggestion. Especially with a fucking LLM that probably had a shitload of mistakes and inconsistencies leading up to that point, though even a real person would have lost me long before this shit.

  • Just cook the chicken at 600C for 10min

    Jump

  • The outside would be burnt and the inside raw. There might be a layer of well-cooked chicken between them, though just cutting through it to see that will contaminate the cooked bit from the raw bit. That's why the penicillin sauce is so important.

  • A decent number of them have already sent cash gifts. Which is already spent paying off the loan for the wedding planner and the artists that made some concept art of the theme which is being presented as actual footage of the venue, despite a few of the visuals being things that cutting edge technology cannot physically produce.

    Oh and after the last meeting where some of this was laid out, the wedding planner just started laughing hysterically, left the room, and isn't answering or returning calls. The kids who were playing out front know a bit more information but are worried they'd get in trouble if they repeated what she said about the groom.

    Jump

  • Each time you've played with him since that incident was a part of his training montage for his revenge match. You think he was running from room to room at top speed in the middle of the night for fun?

  • Red state GOP pushes abortion ban with possible death penalty: 'God demands equal justice'

    Jump

  • I believe the new testament also makes it pretty clear that it's not up to the followers to dole out God's justice. Something something turn the other cheek and something something let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

    Also pretty fucking arrogant to claim to speak on behalf of a diety. And pretty fucking stupid to believe anyone claiming such.

  • Dear Meta Smart Glasses Wearers: You’re Being Watched, Too

    Jump

  • Just flashbang every room before you enter it, just to be safe.

  • racist ai

    Jump

  • Yeah, I appreciate the duck duck go ai chatbots, since they are free and don't have the limit that using chatgpt directly for free had. Plus you can select other models (haven't even been using chatgpt).

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • Dark Matter is one of the ones that piss me off because it was cancelled but so good. I'd rather have had more Dark Matter than Firefly (though both would have been great).

    Also agreed on the Expanse. It was cool seeing a space sci fi where the only human tech advancement into the sci fi realm was a space engine that was more efficient and powerful but still followed the laws of physics. Like when traveling, they'd do the accelerate towards it until about halfway, then turn around and accelerate away from it so you don't slam into your destination at high speed.

  • Just one more square bro

    Jump

  • Yeah, there's a lot of unused space there. Or just look at the gap in the middle of that row of 4. A slightly smaller square could have fit a 5x5, even.

    It's a novelty, not an optimization.

  • Conversation Starters

    Jump

  • That comment was basically Microsoft's business plan ever since like windows 8 until they made it no longer true by making windows so bad "what OS should I use" did become a topic, at least with the nerdier segment of the population.

    Though on the other hand, that 90%+ segment of the population still doesn't gaf other than "why are computers so hard?" style complaints.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • Had a presentation to make yesterday so figured fuck it, maybe the copilot integrated into power point can make this task I don't want to do easier.

    So I made a title slide and explained what was going on, then tried to get it able to edit the current file. Wasn't able to but it was able to create a new file.

    Took one look at the result and decided fuck it, I'll just do it myself. How much it tried to play up everything without really saying anything was almost nauseating.

    So I guess thanks copilot for sucking so much it inspired me to just spit out a better presentation. At least better to my standards; I bet an MBA would have preferred the other one that acted like the whole category the task was in was my own work and needed to be explained to the rest of the team that has been doing related tasks longer than I have.

    Better build the whole OS around this tech which basically just exploits how easily we're fooled by confident words.

  • McDonald’s CEO’s awkward taste test sparks mocking online: ‘His aura screams kale salad’

    Jump

  • There's a lot of food that won't rot if left out to dry.

    Not that McDonald's is any good, just that that particular experiment was flawed because there was no control showing that other food left out in similar circumstances would have decomposed more (and even then, decent burger patties make McDonald's' look like jokes; "thick and juicy" is more likely to decompose than thin and whatever you'd call the moisture level in a McDonald's burger).

  • Yay, milkshakes!

  • Would that be 100 dollars percent or 100 percent dollars?

  • I bet it at least ended that way.

    They died out during the last ice age when one of the big differences from previous ones they survived was the presence of homo sapiens.

    I'm guessing it was from a combination of lack of space, raids, and integration (willing or not).

    We (who carry it) have a small amount of Neanderthal DNA, but it's not the same DNA for all of us, it's pretty diverse, so cross breeding events between us weren't limited to just a few times.

  • Videogames you always wanted to play but they did disappointed you?

    Jump

  • It had a playable release a few years ago, though it wasn't in a polished state. I'd have to fire up my old windows machine to see the install. For all I know they got killed off by DMCA or something (GoldenEye could have been targetted by either Rare/Nintendo or MGM, whereas PD would only be the former, maybe MGM is even more aggressive than Nintendo).

    Apparently there is/was a GoldenEye decompiled that was way behind the PD decompiled project, too.

  • The Hole

    Jump

  • Similarly, snow piles can be dangerous. Like the kind made by machines clearing parking lots that kids love to play on. Depending on how packed it is, there could be gaps a kid could fall in and get stuck, plus kids scream when they are having fun, so many adults might just filter out the sound of child screaming.

    The ones at schools might be specifically made with kids playing on them in mind, but I doubt that's the case for ones in random parking lots, though maybe I'm just underestimating typical snow plough training.

  • Copper

    Jump

  • My guess is that will only work until it saturates with heat. Some liquid cooling setups are also like that, where the rad isn't capable of dissipating heat fast enough to prevent the whole thing from overheating, but it'll work fine for a while because the loop itself can absorb a bunch of heat before it stops being able to take any more. Then they probably blame the chip maker for running too hot even with liquid cooling when their liquid cooling setup is actually less effective than the stock cooler or their case has horrible airflow and would choke any size or number of rads. But their reservoir acts as a heat buffer, so it takes 30 mins to even realize that, but they've already concluded it works.
