They just get really fast and accurate with soldering irons. Until later ones come along absolutely surgical with a flame thrower.

You can see one of her nipples.

This isn’t a complaint, just advising anyone interested to zoom in a bit.

For a long time, I assumed that veterans who didn’t want to talk about their time served were doing so because they witnessed difficult things or felt shame about what they had to do in combat situations.

These days, I wonder if it’s because anyone they talked to would see them for the monster they are.

I think Hanlon was either a lot more optimistic than I am or he was malicious when he came up with that Razor, assuming razors are named after the person who coined them.

Not just that point but there’s a certain portion of people that seem to think anything other than total opposition is total support.

As long as they are based on LLMs, I don’t think it ever will be. But it will get better at pretending it is and passing tests.

Yeah, OF gives me MLM for Porn kinda vibes. You hear about the women making tons of money but I’m sure that for every OF model that got rich, there’s dozens or hundreds that tried it and barely made anything.

And a lot of them make it so obvious that they are just doing it for the money. Which, on the one hand I totally get, that is the whole point, but on the other hand, it’s not exactly hot, unless you have an exploitation fetish.

Not that OF invented the “porn is fake” thing. But it seems worse now.

Good luck with that if it’s being vibe coded.

Yeah, figures, just glad they had more of a chance to finish than Firefly or Dark Matter (which IMO looked even better than Firefly and made it to 3 seasons before getting canned).

Probably not but maybe. It’s a gamble that I’m guessing most MBAs would love to make!

Even then, it’s going to make some batshit decisions on stuff you don’t specify and probably screw up some that you did, and much of it will cause subtle issues.

Remember that even with all the shit they add on to it, it’s still based on a text predictor, not some kind of problem solving or programming engine.

Possible? Yes. Likely? No.

Such a good series, and this one actually made it to its conclusion without getting cancelled (or rather maybe it got cancelled in a way that let them finish the story, which actually seems kinda likely because it did seem to end quite suddenly, but it was an ending at least, unlike some other great sci fi series).

And not even logical. They have an issue with the “wear” on a woman who has slept once with each of 5 people but have no problem with the “wear” on a woman who has slept with them more than 5 times.

That might just make it easier for them to put them all on a list. Use random dates instead, then they have to identify you and confirm you’re not using your real date to put you on that list.

Most of the AI industry is currently stuck in a kind of uncanny valley where it’s close enough to fool people who don’t care about details or who so desperately want to make money that they deny the reality that these AIs aren’t actually good at very much.

But there’s been so much money invested in it that they are desperate to make it generate some revenue and profit and keep shoving it into things, hoping that their thing will be the one the public finally latches on to.

It’s also management types that really bought in to it. The kind of managers that don’t know shit and will make impossible requests, or think something simple is hard and something hard is simple because they don’t actually know much about the jobs they are managing. But they do have the power to direct those under them to use the AIs as well as get of or dismiss the opinions of those pointing out the emperor has no clothes.

Right now, they are hoping to find that substance that will keep the AI bubble from popping. But IMO the problem is fundamental to the big data approach to AI of “throw a ton of data at a generic correlation engine and hope that it ends up smart”.

In Japanese, they don’t have R or L, but another sound that is between them (pay attention to your tongue position when you say either sound to see how close they are). So someone did, at some point, have to choose between Link and Rink, assuming the Japanese name is even similar and they didn’t just make up an entirely new name for the English version. The k is anglicised, too, so maybe (Japanese doesn’t have K without a vowel sound after, though if the vowel is U, it can be pronounced without vocalizing it, essentially making it silent).

Are there specific choices made by fedora that would have should have been done differently but were pushed by the large donor?

Just asking because I’m on fedora but wasn’t aware of that relationship but this description hasn’t yet convinced me that the relationship is toxic for users, but my mind is open enough to believe it with specific examples.

Nah it was Mr Bean.

Shit, maybe they are still there, hiding! Quick, do a thorough search!
