  • don't do ai and code kids

    Jump

  • Wow, this is really impressive y'all!

    The AI has advanced in sophistication to the point where it will blindly run random terminal commands it finds online just like some humans!

    I wonder if it knows how to remove the french language package.

  • Infosys co-founder once again calls for longer than 70-hour weeks - and no, he's not joking

    Jump

  • You just aren't thinking like a billionaire, man. What you do is get the two people anyway, and still force the 70 hour work week.

    Your job is not to find a reasonable steady state of operation. Your job is to exploit the resources before you (even the ones with emotions and families) to extract value for the shareholders in the most efficient way possible, before somebody even more evil and clever than you figures out a better way and we direct future fresh meat to his meat grinder instead of yours.

  • Turtles are kind of in between with their wedge-shaped heads. They need the awareness to hide from predators, but some of them are also predators themselves or they at least snap at fruits and veggies to eat them.

    Here's my tortoise doing his best disappointed-in-you baby yoda:

    And here's the yellow belly slider locking target on to some shrimp.

    But it sounds like the rules aren't as consistent in the water, judging from other comments. Even something like an alligator snapping turtle's eyes are no further forward than these pics.

  • Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"

    Jump

  • Your comment just made me realize I did a kind of GOG holiday sale shopping spree this year after having not done a steam holiday sale purchase in like a decade.

    And the majority of it was having cheap easy drm-free access to some very good and very old games. Like yeah I know I have my ISO of the TIE Fighter collector's cd-rom somewhere around here, but if I can permanently have legit drm-free access to all versions of the game for just a few dollars, then supporting the business enabling that is a no brainer.

  • Feeding my family alone is expensive. I can't afford to feed all of y'all.

    Jump

  • Thank you, GiantChickDicks, for making this Thanksgiving even more wholesome.

    And I completely agree. I could see myself as that person getting immense fulfillment from creating a feast for my loved ones. I love cooking even for myself. Unfortunately(/s) I have long held the position of the fun dad and uncle, and that is where my fulfillment lies. I'm the one that keeps all the kids in the other room playing games so they leave the other adults alone.

    But when my mom calls down that it's time for certain kids to help with certain dishes, they go running out of the room to help!

  • Elon Musk Had Grok Rewrite Wikipedia. It Calls Hitler “The Führer.”

    Jump

  • So the space obsessed man-child generated his own stupid encyclopedia, and for this generous all-giving knowledge resource he chooses a stylized BLACK HOLE for the logo.

    It feels like the nerd equivalent to that quote about how the anti-semite arguing in bad faith enjoys seeing others frustrated by their hypocrisy. Here lemme just find that pasta...

    Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

  • I know I am not alone here, because Lemmy and all, but holy god damn does that little AI sparkle trigger me more than any other AI term or image.

  • New Zealand says it’s going to eradicate feral cats

    Jump

  • As somebody who (1) loves the beauty of the natural world and (2) lives in the USA, I'm hearing that NZ might be a most excellent place to retire, or even move to earlier.

  • RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices

    Jump

  • Yeah the "shopping around" aspect isn't even close these days. I remember ~25 years ago using price aggregator sites to pick up individual PC parts from all different websites.

    Today the situation is flipped. It isn't difficult to find a really good price. If you buy all your parts from the same retailer, you'll be way closer to the minmaxed optimal price than in the past.

    The problem is that right now the "good" prices are crazy.

  • RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices

    Jump

  • I just received all the parts for the high end gaming PC I'm building for my son for xmas. And I'll have some uses for it too.

    I didn't really feel like I could delay it arbitrarily because teaching him real computer stuff (including games because I'm a fun dad) matters a lot more to me than however many hundreds of dollars I might have eventually saved.

    And man it HURT. The RAM isn't anywhere near the most expensive part, but it somehow stings the most. I like to err on the high side with memory and have never regretted it. But, this 2025 build is going to have the same 32GB memory size as my 2018 build did, and the prices for the kits was very similar for both purchases.

    I'm tempted to splurge and swap for a 64GB kit before I start building, but it might be cheaper and easier to just wait a year. Or honestly never. The added memory would probably only help with my video editing, and that's not a big part of my computer usage.

  • What's with those people?

    Jump

  • In many cases I don't think they are even intentionally tailgating. They just suck at driving and they're used to following way too close at all speeds.

  • 'Suddenly exposed' DOGE employees fear prosecution after Musk abandoned them: report

  • I'm pretty sure the leopards won't eat the faces of the DOGE employees. Musk said so on his personal website!

  • I was just watching some informative stuff about jet engines the other day, so I appreciate what you're saying even more than I normally would, lol.

  • Fact check: Is Mamdani introducing Arabic numerals to New York schools?

  • Highly educated USian here.

    I would cry tears of joy if I woke up and found that President Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho was having his inauguration parade exactly as shown in the image.

    To make it interesting, ignore the figurehead and any global elite child sex slave trafficking ring they may or may not have been a part of. Consider the background characters instead.

    In this image you have Luke Wilson playing a character who is known to be the smartest person on the planet, and who saves lives with their knowledge by teaching the people how to do things like water their crops, AND who got dragged into the position rather than being a cutthroat ambitious asdhole.

    In a similar image of the real world you might have somebody like Stephen fucking Miller.

  • Warning signs appear on Mexican beach declaring area restricted by U.S. as Mexico rejects Trump offer to strike cartels

    Jump

  • "I'm sure this is Constitutional," said no one ever.

    It sure sounds a lot like something the president would say! Or, it would be something he'd mindlessly repeat to the cameras after Miller or whoever wormtongue'd it into his ear beforehand.

  • MAGA, splitting hairs.

    Jump

  • I am 100% in favor of pushing the distinction.

    Let's get the pedophiles treatment or therapy or whatever helps them while they continue to not hurt anybody while contributing to society.

    Let's get the child rapists 3 hots and a cot with concrete walls all around.

  • RTX on, of course.

  • House Democratic leaders contact Capitol Police after Trump "death threats" against vets

    Jump

  • I'm afraid that if we see them invoke the 25th it will be because Trump finally has SO much baggage that they can blame damn near everything on him and quietly continue along the project 2025 trajectory with the likes of Vance and Johnson playing choir boys.
