  • What lurking suspicion do you have about something but is hard to prove?

  • I wonder if that was selected as a way to resolve the love triangle once Lucas realized that there's a reason romantic comedies usually make one of the members of love triangles villains, or at least don't let the audience get as close with both competers. Shows/movies that do are instead dramas, which are a completely different tone from the light-hearted romance he was going for.

  • ‘A feedback loop with no brake’: how an AI doomsday report shook US markets

    Jump

  • If you want a demo on how bad these AI coding agents are, build a medium-sized script with one, something with a parse -> process -> output flow that isn't trivial. Let it do the debug, too (like tell it the error message or the unwanted behaviour).

    You'll probably get the desired output if you're using one of the good models.

    Now ask it to review the code or optimize it.

    If it was a good coding AI, this step shouldn't involve much, as it would have been applying the same reasoning during the code writing process.

    But in my experience, this isn't what happens. For a review, it has a lot of notes. It can also find and implement optimizations. The weighs are the same, the only difference is that the context of the prompt has changed from "write code" to "optimize code", which affects the correlations involved. There is no "write optimal code" because it's trained on everything and the kitchen sink, so you'll get correlations from good code, newbie coders, lesson examples of bad ways to do things (especially if it's presented in a "discovery" format where a prof intended to talk about why this slide is bad but didn't include that on the slide itself).

  • Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feet

    Jump

  • I bet if these get used that soon after there will be new extreme maintenance videos that make those cell towers look like nothing. Probably some guy hanging from a powered cable climbing device, showing the things on the ground getting smaller and smaller, occasionally taking a puff from an asthma inhaler because they were told an oxygen tank would cause weight issues (it's actually about financial issues), until enough people die that they realize it's cheaper to pay for oxygen than training new workers.

  • Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feet

    Jump

  • Depending on how the turbine is set up, it could generate AC power instead of DC. I believe they even have several options on how to do this.

    Jump

  • I wonder if the way they tested it to get those higher numbers was something like finding a field where birds were roosting with windmills present, then fire off some massive fireworks at night and assume any bird that died did so because of the windmills.

    Assuming they didn't just pull the numbers out of their ass and actually designed a bad faith experiment that could inflate bird deaths.

  • Wait, you have a hammer for knocking stuff together but are missing a hammer to knock stuff apart! Please correct this.

  • Hegseth says he’ll order random pizzas to throw off monitoring app

    Jump

  • There was a tmnt toy back in the day that had a pizza cannon (I think it was the turtle van). I think tech might have caught up to that point by now to do it in real life.

  • Hegseth says he’ll order random pizzas to throw off monitoring app

    Jump

  • Or maybe they'll do one fake order the day before the real one and keep doing it like that, and the half-assing just means the pizza index predicts it one day earlier.

  • whatever tf this is

  • I bet he had ADD with all those hobbies he collected.

  • Or they are gauging general response to the tweet over time.

  • At least 3 major outlets — The New York Times, The Guardian, and Reddit — have blocked the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine from accessing their content

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, not saying they are generally equivalent, just in that one particular aspect: access to comment data for any purpose.

  • At least 3 major outlets — The New York Times, The Guardian, and Reddit — have blocked the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine from accessing their content

    Jump

  • FYI, any data on Lemmy can be used for the same for free. The federation infra can even be used to give AI models more direct access than even reddit is likely giving them. Just in case anyone is assuming that because this is community-run that it means the data isn't being sold. It's not, but it is being accessed by the same entities, if they want it.

  • Tennessee House passes bill allowing private citizens to refuse recognition of same-sex marriages

    Jump

  • No, it's older than that. It's what militant civilizations were based on, this idea that it was fine and normal to go around with your warriors and dominate other groups while doing everything you could to prevent other groups from dominating you.

    Just instead of swords and spears being the main arena to determine who dominates who, now there's a system where words determine who dominates the other in a particular issue and it is enforced by warriors that answers to another neutral (in theory, not always in practice) power.

  • Generally agree with you but piloting a ST starship is different from piloting an airliner, main thing being that the starship is stable in space. Like you can cut all power to engines completely and it isn't going to fall into a planet or star, other than during specfic maneuvers. There's also the rest of the bridge crew present to take over if something comes up that he couldn't handle. I see it as more equivalent to letting a kid take the helm on an ocean ship. Still some potential for it to go wrong, but if the kid isn't a little shit wanting to see what happens if he yanks the wheel, it'll probably be fine.

    Between the shields and deflector array, anything that could pose a threat would likely be picked up by the sensors long before it was close. Other than a cloaked ship ambushing them, but even then I bet Riker could just bark out "computer execute evasive maneuver alpha and beam Wesley to sick bay. Data, take the helm. Red alert!"

  • Acceptable loss.

    Jump

  • If I were in the ST universe, my life would probably just be about getting energy that I would use to power my holodeck and maybe one of those external ones, too, to hide my presence on some planet whose geothermal energy I've tapped or whatever. Just make my own paradise until I get bored of it.

  • A sneaky demonstration of the dangers of curl bash

    Jump

  • An alternative that will avoid the user agent trick is to curl | cat, which just prints the result of the first command to the console. curl >> filename.sh will write it to a script file that you can review and then mark executable and run if you deem it safe, which is safer than doing a curl | cat followed by a curl | bash (because it's still possible for the 2nd curl to return a different set of commands).

    You can control the user agent with curl and spoof a browser's user agent for one fetch, then a second fetch using the normal curl user agent and compare the results to detect malicious urls in an automated way.

    A command line analyzer tool would be nice for people who aren't as familiar with the commands (and to defeat obfuscation) and arguments, though I believe the problem is NP, so it won't likely ever be completely foolproof. Though maybe it can be if it is run in a sandbox to see what it does instead of just analyzed.

  • Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now

    Jump

  • Lol I wonder if windowscentral and MS got in a feedback loop and that's why MS was surprised at how much people hate copilot integration with the OS and every program they can shove it into.

  • YSK What to do if someone’s choking: Evidence says begin with back blows

    Jump

  • I need more information. Are the potatoes stuck in your throat mashed? Or if they aren't, are you able to get a masher in there? Might help loosen it up and make it more delicious if you add some butter and milk or heavy cream.
