  • Is Dungeon Meshi worth it if I'm not into anime?

    Jump

  • Characters don’t talk or hint about sex at all

    This is sort of true and the relative lack of traditional fanservice type stuff is refreshing, but I don't think it would be fair to say Dungeon Meshi isn't horny, because a lot of its thematic focus is indirect, allegorical commentary on sexuality, even if it is generally very tasteful about it.

  • Jikipedia turns Epstein’s emails into an encyclopedia of his powerful friends

    Jump

  • Normally no, because that is much more difficult, resource intensive, and harder to get reliable results than separately looking up the information and including it in the prompt.

  • Paypal Alternatives?

  • What do you use Paypal for?

  • The dialogue says they are brothers so its creepy

  • When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer?

    Jump

  • A consumer incentive to use cash seems like a good thing. It's not like there's ever a scenario where credit card companies aren't taking a fee to use their cards.

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

    Jump

  • In a financial negotiation, avoid saying a number first, even if it seems like you're being rude, just say stuff like "what's your budget" instead. This trick sounds really stupid but somehow it is extremely effective.

  • USA Used Claude AI Model to Capture Nicolás Maduro

    Jump

  • just before the assault on the government quarter, all radars in the air defense units suddenly failed.

    After American drones and helicopters appeared in the sky, the soldiers felt the effect of a powerful energy wave that effectively suppressed any possibility of resistance.

    What is this, has it been previously used? Is the US military giving up info on its secret weapons for the sake of stupid vanity missions?

  • An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me – More Things Have Happened

    Jump

  • Like, how does that even happen?

    Poorly designed journalism-bot it sounds like. Ethics of not writing this yourself aside, it should be trivial to check that whatever is in quotes is at least a substring in the source text. If the LLM is the top layer, and any research it does is a tool call that is purely at its discretion, it's going to end up failing silently like this.

  • Is Netflix making us stupid?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I get that part, I'm just wondering how exactly they are collecting the metrics they are using to justify it, when it doesn't seem like that data should be so easy to get.

  • Rising teenage pregnancy among young teens in Philippines

    Jump

  • From the article it sounds like people think the causes are social media, lack of sex education for middle school age students, and vulnerability of children of parents working overseas

  • OpenAI retired its most seductive chatbot – leaving users angry and grieving: ‘I can’t live like this’

    Jump

  • If their reason for getting rid of it is lawsuits about harm it caused, my guess is that giving all the details of how the system is designed would be something the prosecution could use to strengthen their cases.

  • Is Netflix making us stupid?

    Jump

  • and Netflix' algorithms — capable of tracking, down to the second, when viewers tune out or drop off — have drawn a blunt conclusion: their audience is distracted, and the content should accommodate that distraction

    How do they do that? Wouldn't netflix normally be playing on a separate device than whatever you're using for distractions?

  • What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally?

    Jump

  • If your focus is LLMs, get a 3090 gpu. Vram is the most important thing here because it determines what models you can load and run at a decent speed, and having 24Gb will let you run the mid range models that specifically target this amount of memory because of this being a very standard amount to have for hobbyists. These models are viable for coding, the smaller ones are less so. Looking at prices it seems like you can get this card for 1-2k depending on if you go used or refurbished. I don't know if better price options are going to be available soon but with the ram shortage and huge general demand it kind of doesn't seem like it.

    If you want to focus on image or video generation instead, I understand that there are advantages to going with newer generation cards because certain features and speed is more of a factor than just vram but I know less about this.

  • OpenAI researcher quits over ChatGPT ads, warns of "Facebook" path

    Jump

  • Hitzig did not call advertising itself immoral. Instead, she argued that the nature of the data at stake makes ChatGPT ads especially risky. Users have shared medical fears, relationship problems, and religious beliefs with the chatbot, she wrote, often “because people believed they were talking to something that had no ulterior agenda.” She called this accumulated record of personal disclosures “an archive of human candor that has no precedent.”

    Even though previously existing data harvesting is invasive, this really does take it to another level.

  • Welcoming Discord users amidst the challenge of Age Verification

    Jump

  • Honestly I dislike using 'communities' there because it creates this forced ambiguity whether you are talking about a literal community of people or the software.

  • Anna's Archive Quietly 'Releases' Millions of Spotify Tracks, Despite Legal Pushback * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • I wouldn't go as far as claiming it doesn't reveal any info, all I'm saying here is that there are more security guarantees, and demonstrated security failures of Tor related to adversarial exit nodes don't necessarily apply to onion services. I don't really know much beyond that.

  • https://onionservices.torproject.org/technology/properties/

    Usually, whenever a Tor user is surfing around, their connection exits the Tor network at some point to reach a destination on the internet.

    But with Onion Services, the communication from one point to another happens entirely inside the Tor network, all the time.

    Jump

  • are you saying that if a site is entirely hosted on TOR then no information makes it to an endpoint?

    Basically yeah. My understanding is that exit nodes are special and using them is a vulnerability, but you only use exit nodes to access clearnet sites from Tor, and you are less vulnerable if you aren't doing that and rather going to sites with .onion urls. Which, unfortunately I can't find one for this website, but I'm thinking they'd probably consider making one if they can't maintain any clearnet domains anymore.
