That's also assuming you have children. I'm childfree and most days are all mine once I punch out unless I've got stuff to triage here and there.

> Ad pipeline is malware at this point. Always has been. Occasionally my girlfriend will comment on something she saw in an ad, even buy things off them. Thing is though that ad pl…

> I'm not a lawyer, but I don't believe this. There is definitely negligence They could 100% be civilly liable, but this doesn't constitute criminality. If I leave my car in neutra…

I would say in EA's case, boycotting them did have some level of effectiveness. They didn't stop being shitty altogether, but they did come out with a couple strong singleplayer ex…

LLMs are fantastic for helping with Nix stuff. Particularly the error logs, because Nix errors are atrocious to read. Being able to throw the error at an LLM and have it get to the…

This logic fails on a couple levels. One, bike lanes are often not wide enough to support another car anyway. Two, Braess's paradox[1] is an effect that's been noticed for as long …

A silver lining is that at least a lot of these AI generated malware and phishing scams are easy to disrupt with mild white hat skills. Often the people behind them lack the knowle…

In theory you could change the steam command line fpr each game and have them launch in bubblewrap. Though I'm not sure how well that would play with graphics drivers. It might be …

There actually are skyrim "MMO" and roleplay servers. I've not tried it, but it comes up on my YouTube homepage a lot. So I initially assumed it was that.

AI Dungeon played like a text adventure game and ran off GPT-2, later GPT-3 fine-tunes. That might be what you're thinking of.

How would it even be stopped if you could ban it? It's not like you're banning just one company. Anyone with the resources can still obtain and run the models. Sure, big models lik…

Much of the internet from the time the training data was initially collected wasn't much different. Consider how much blogspam and listicle SEO/ad optimized content would've been i…

I've used it to help me clean up and reverse malware samples to give the person running it problems. It's very good at taking the obfuscation apart and translating it into somethin…

I have a $20 Claude sub, and the closest I've come to hitting a limit was when I was using it to fight back against some scammers spreading a stealer on discord. I was having Claud…

I wonder if it's because it got labeled "Mild Violence" whereas the violence in LoZ is considered "Fantasy Violence." Maybe Mild Violence is more commonly applied to more real worl…

In my experience, Kimi just tends to think a lot, with the main thing that takes up a lot of space is it constantly second-guessing itself. I've watched it do paragraph after parag…

Looking at what movies got away with in the 80s while retaining a rating of "PG" definitely shows we're sliding on what we call acceptable. There are numerous lists online that can…

I suspect it's just random. I tried feeding one of its pawns my Queen and it completely ignored it, choosing to move a knight nearby instead that didn't take the Queen.

The University of Georgia did a study and came to the conclusion that the Southern accent is fading. Less formally, a word game website did a survey that found the standard New Yor…

The only way to verify the presence of rabies is to bring in the animal that did the bite. But per the article, they released the responsible bat. Normally what you'd do in this ca…

I was in the same boat as a kid. My handwriting is so bad, for the essay portion of the state test we had to take one year, they got an exemption and let me use Notepad to type min…

8 years here. Mint->Arch->NixOS. Basically zero Windows use in that time outside of niche needs.

If a big player in a space is asking for regulation, always treat it as them pulling the ladder up to make things harder for new upstarts. As an example, look at what Anthropic's r…

Evolution is just a race to "good enough to consistently reproduce" and everything after the sufficient reproduction is irrelevant. Like the goats whose horns have to be cut or the…

That's called a motion to dismiss and it does happen. Maybe it wouldn't in this particular case, but not every case gets the full 9 yards of examination if one side's argument is b…
