  • exponential growth of wolverines

  • Well according to Raiden from Metal Gear you should know that A Soul can't be cut. And he is an expert at cutting things!

  • Artifactview - preview GitHub/Forgejo CI artifacts

    Jump

  • Does GitHub support range requests for artifacts? With that you could read the file index without downloading and caching the entire zip

  • The exponential growth of solar power will change the world

    Jump

  • That could be the case. But with solar prices consistently dropping every year it should dominate even more in the future. I'm not so sure wind will keep up

  • The exponential growth of solar power will change the world

    Jump

  • I'm confident solar + batteries will solve short term storage. But as far as I know energy density is just not there for seasonal storage. However when energy becomes dirt cheap, chemical storage through Hydrogen or downstream products should become an economic no brainer as well

  • Minecraft players outraged as Microsoft deletes accounts that weren't transitioned

    Jump

  • I bought the game at the of alpha with an email I lost access to at some point. I remember my Password and Username but forgot the email address I used. I think it also wasn't even possible to change the email address in the Mojang Account back then. So I definitely didn't sit around and ignored the migration, I even tried contacting the support.

    Anyways what sucks is that I remembered my email address this winter, but already after the cut off point. Would have been nice to get to keep that very old account. But as others have mentioned, the experience is probably better with a pirated version anyway.

  • Note that they are from Korea. I assume shipping from Germany will be insanely high

  • Here’s what we’re working on in Firefox | The Mozilla Blog

    Jump

  • So - I don’t think Firefox would be generating captions for PDFs on PDF creation.

    I'm not sure. The blog post is not entirely clear on that.

    Between the document creator and the creation software or screen reader, only the document creator would really know the context for the image.

    Agreed. Context is usually very important for images. But with an auto-generated caption embedded in the document itself, you already lose some context. Because if the automatic caption is incorrectly stored as "The ___ video game installer" you cannot decide anymore if this was written by the author with the context in mind or just generated. Which I would argue is worse than no caption, as it lowers your trust in all captions.

    But I wouldn’t be opposed to ML on those that can auto-suggest things or even critique how content authors write their descriptions.

    Absolutely, I think that will be by far the best solution. It could massively encourage users to write their own captions if in most cases you only need to accept the suggestion. But so far, that seems unlikely to be the way forward. Why do that when you can just throw even more "AI" at the problem?

  • I do agree with your point about auto-generated captions being better than no captions. But isn't it bad to insert them automatically on creation? If we use these models to caption images shouldn't it be done by the screen reader instead? That way people can benefit from future advancements of the tech and customize the captioning system for themselves. With the current system there is no way to tell if you got a crappy AI caption that you may want to replace with a better auto-generated caption or a human written caption.

  • GPU Faker - Bypass GPU restrictions imposed by games like Arena Breakout Infinite

    Jump

  • I was also confused about this. I didn't find an article talking about yet either. My current assumption is that it is just this game and that it is still a closed pre-release. So they maybe just wanted to remove noise from people that don't have the required specs during their testing phase. It's also not a lock to a specific GPU vendor as I originally expected from the title.

  • Maybe an unpopular opinion but why would you care about how privacy invasive GitHub is? Your code is open-source anyways so MSFT can steal it wherever you host it. And if they haven't changed it you're able to sign up with just an email and a pseudonym. It's not a social network where you have to post private information for it to be useful you can and most people do use it pretty anonymously.

    So I never understand the outrage about GitHub and MSFT. Git is distributed anyway, the only thing that can be lost are issues and pull request histories. If they fuck up, everyone can just move. Now GitHub Actions, that is a clever thing for binding users...

  • Heathcliff without Heathcliff 5/3/2024

    Jump

  • Just wanted to say that I enjoy your edits. I had never seen the comic before but predicting how Heathcliff fits into it is a fun game, before I look at the original. Do you have them collected somewhere? The old posts aren't accessible anymore I guess

  • Reddit Is Taking Over Google

    Jump

  • Just in time to not be able to see anything on Reddit without signing in. And I'm sure companies won't figure out how to astroturf even more.

  • Is the Fediverse truly decentralized? Not exactly.

    Jump

  • Not to give any judgement on whether usage of a CDN is good or bad. But I think it is a bad idea to talk about decentralized hosting and decentralized ownership like they are identical. The problem with social media the fediverse is solving isn't that all social media goes down when CloudFlare/Facebook CDN goes down. It's to be independent of one organisation or even person that can ruin the fun for everyone. If CloudFlare bans every instance, the owners are still in control of their DNS names and can just move to another CDN or their own reverse proxy/cache
