  • GOP governor says June is about understanding & accepting homophobes

    Jump

  • That's old testament. What Jesus said overrode that.

    Its a very common mistake since a lot of christian groups pull their hate from the old testament.

    Specifically, Matthew 5:43-48

    And, to be clear, worshipping another god remains a sin in basic Christianity, its just not an excuse to not love everyone.

  • Well they remembered the plot of Frankenstein and boldly applied it to reality to become afraid of a new thing.

  • Apple's AI plans involves 'black box' for cloud data

    Jump

  • I mean a black box would just mean that no one can see it as it processes. Put things in, get things out. As long as their claims are true, this will certainly do that. Same as an onboard AI that we still don't understand.

  • Apple's AI plans involves 'black box' for cloud data

    Jump

  • They're basically saying they won't ship off data to be processed to anyone else. Apple server hardware will process it in data centers.

    There's then a further promise that this hardware will be isolated from other things apple is doing, so that no other apple processes not related to AI will be able to see this data.

    So, for instance, some other AI company might cut a deal with Amazon, get a discount on AWS processing, and in exchange, let amazon snoop through the data being processed. Or, a company might use a cheaper process in an existing data center that isnt particularly secure, and just not care if its being spied on. I'm sure there's more likely scenarios as well, I'm not a security expert, but apple is promising to thwart any similar thing, by promising the "cloud" for AI is a unique cloud, not just encrypted or whatever, but actually physically separate from everything else

    Its the equivalent of saying "this product won't trigger your peanut allergy, we've built a facility that will never see a peanut, so cleaning procedures are easy and accidental contamination is impossible since this product is the only thing made in this factory."

    These are still just claims though, not facts, so we'll see.

  • World-first tooth-regrowing drug will be given to humans in September

    Jump

  • I bet it won't be weird at all, honestly.

    Growing pains, obviously, that'd be weird, but once they're in, you'd get used to them as easily as you got used to having them removed.

    At least, I had mine for a number of years before they were removed. It seems surprising, but I'm used to not having them, and I think the inverse will be equally weird.

  • I'm not dumb nowwww though. I want them back.

    Dentist didn't even let me keep them. I was gonna cast them in resin and make bone dice out of my mistake. Unfortunately, human teeth aren't big enough to make dice without some extra material.

  • I had my wisdom teeth removed because I failed to take care of them (dumb teenager), but my dentist told me my jaw fit them just fine, so I never had to lose them.

    I want them back.

  • After mice drink raw H5N1 milk, bird flu virus riddles their organs

    Jump

  • Well hey I appreciate it, I genuinely thought what i wrote was the whole thing, I'm glad to know that there's more, and the details behind it.

  • After mice drink raw H5N1 milk, bird flu virus riddles their organs

    Jump

  • It is though. It's the mixing thing.

    You can order a steak rare at a restaurant, no worries. They won't serve you a hamburger that hasn't reached temperature. There's only one real difference; your steak has a miniscule chance the cow it came from was sick, while that hamburger has the bacteria of every cow that went into the meat grinder.

    As per the other comments, we have thousands of cows per bottle of milk. 1000x the risk that someone drinking raw milk from their family farm has.

  • Man convicted of Chicago murder based on blind witness' testimony sues city, police

  • While obviously bullshit now, there's mild forms of vision issues. I have astigmatism, and if it was caused by an issue, I'd be able to honestly say "yes the issue affects my vision, but no, this didn't impact my ability to see the guy do it." A cataract could block peripheral vision while not preventing someone from recognizing someone they looked at directly, etc.

    This guy's a liar, but it's still plausible. If a thing should've been done differently besides the fraud, it'd be to require an eye test for the court specifically

  • Judge Orders Alec Baldwin to Face Trial for ‘Rust’ Shooting

    Jump

  • Well that's not the argument you were making. He's regrettably met the minimum standards for it to go to a proper court, though.

    I don't think it's heavy-handed to think an incident can have multiple parties responsible. It's very possibly that. I think a jury should determine if Baldwin legally should've done better, using evidence and witness testimony about what would normally happen.

    Personally I think it's much more the armorer's fault. I agree with you. But I wasn't there, I don't know that we have all the information, or even that the information I've learned is completely accurate. A trial is the way to get all the information and certify it as true under penalty of perjury. Then the people who have been given every fact from both sides can make that determination.

  • American Airlines backtracks after lawyers blame girl, 9, for not seeing hidden camera in bathroom

  • In a sense, yes.

    Usually they phrase it like "sharing in their most intimate moments" but without consent that's just an innocuous way of saying exactly your first reaction.

    In some ways, its related to loneliness, filling a need they haven't filled other ways.

  • Parents called for mental health help. Police arrived and fatally shot their son.

  • I do that all the time. I go "oh there's an update on this case, cool. Wait, these names aren't familiar. Am I remembering wrong?" one google later "no this is a second time, and I also found a third and fourth that didn't make their way to me."

  • Can You Use Linux Without the Terminal? (How to Geek article)

    Jump

  • In mint I can right click in a folder and reopen the folder with elevated privileges. That's my primary, I assumed it was standard but if it's not common I guess it's a cinnamon thing. If so, maybe cinnamon is the desktop of choice for avoiding the terminal.

    I didn't do my full diligence to the samba GUI thing, apparently. That's a good catch.

    To salvage my argument, yumex has a GUI and extends yum, so while the instructions expect the terminal, I think it'll be optional.

    I still recommend it to nobody, but someone who set out to avoid the terminal doesn't have to fail.

    yumex, pip-gui, and aptitude give yum, pip, and apt GUI's, respectively, so most anything that expected the terminal should be doable without it. All it costs is a bunch of effort troubleshooting GUI things or finding out one doesn't display error messages and logs them weirdly or whatever.

  • Can You Use Linux Without the Terminal? (How to Geek article)

    Jump

  • Well if i double-click a file I've made executable, it will ask if I'd like to run it, and most software will have a github or downloads page that will give you direct downloads to the software.

    In other words, I can successfully install things like a windows user, I just have to go the extra step to open the file's properties and make it executable with the GUI first.

    Apt is faster, and it's also faster to do a direct download, make it executable, then execute it in the terminal, too. But I CAN do it.

    Config files can be edited in the GUI text editor, it's just slower.

    To test my claim and prove your third point, this link is the repository for a samba GUI, found at https://www.samba.org/samba/GUI/. Specifically, it's SMB4K, the first one.

    Convenient? No. Would it update automatically? No. Do I want to do it this way, or recommend it? Still no. But it does function.

  • What open-source software would you like more people to know about?

  • That... Was what you asked for. Things you hadn't heard of. Now you're in the lucky 10,000.

  • Nearly all Nintendo 64 games can now be recompiled into native PC ports to add proper ray tracing, ultrawide, high FPS, and more

    Jump

  • So, you're pretty much spot on with how emulators work. I also like using claymation to demonstrate it, like this. Your computer bends over backwards to give the game the exact environment it expects.

    What makes recompilation more than a simple script is the rebuilding aspect. I brought up claymation because it's a great analogy for this, too. An n64 ROM is a complete set of characters, sets, and a script for a claymation movie. It's I in one studio right now, and that studio is the N64, but you need this to be in your PC studio.

    First, you have to decompile your sets and characters. You take reference photos and rip out every tree in a forest set and roll each tree back into it's own ball of clay, with its own reference photo each time. Every little clay cobble on a road, characters outfits, hair, limbs, you meticulously separate every piece of clay that Nintendo shaped, ball them up, and pack them. You now have a million little clay balls and reference photos for every one of them. You take these back to your PC studio. Thankfully, with these reference photos, your clay 3D printer (compiler) can return these balls into something very close to their original shapes, except there's a bunch of little mistakes. One character's leg is slightly thinner and longer than it should be, which messes up their gait when you re-film this, so you manually tweak the leg to be accurate. The cobbles don't quite fit the same, they're a bit smaller, but you have extra clay because of that so you just make more cobblestones. The road doesn't look exactly like the original, but that's fine. The trees, again, don't quite fit right, but you've made similar trees in your studio before and you know those will work so you actually just use those as references instead of the originals. You get filming but this one scene just isn't lit right, and you can't figure out why, but you eventually figure out the N64 studio opened the blinds on their window to get natural sun in this shot, but your studio doesn't have a good view of the sun at that angle, so you have to get a good lamp.

    You face a million little hurdles decompiling and recompiling. Its almost literally reinventing the wheel. Almost all the work goes into little details that almost seem unnecessary, but there's so many that it's absolutely necessary. I was watching a playthrough of a recompiled majoras mask earlier today, and the Dev of this project found his way there, too, and he said it took a few days to get majoras mask to decompile and recompile, and about a year to fix all those little details that in software become lag or new bugs. So the script guy isn't really wrong when he said he could do it fast, but he definitely wouldn't do it right.

    They're just programmed with virtual life experience instead of a traditional programmer.
