I mean, that’s not quite the same thing to be honest. That’s a choice made hundreds of times by individual instance owners. Is it a good choice? Debatable. But that reliance can also be bypassed by those same owners rather quickly if it became a problem. You can’t pivot out of AWS quite as fast unless you have a backup plan locked and loaded.

Massive lag coming from larger instances, instance moves or domain name loss causing the death of an instance, misconfigurations in general since those cause a plethora of problems.

I get your point, but that comes with a whole host of other problems. Take a look at Lemmy for instance, decentralized, yes. But also prone to problems stemming from that same decentralization.

The opposite is fucking people over lately too. Pure coding jobs are passing people over because they don’t have literally any degree and it’s insane. 10 years of experience but no degree? Pass. Fresh out of a bootcamp and a bachelors in music? You’re hired!

I’m glad this got a season 2. The whole “cooking while adventuring” genre is something I didn’t know I needed in my life.

I still haven’t watched any of the anime, but I do believe there was origin prior to the party. However, it was peppered throughout the manga and not part of the first chapter. Though, most of the “prior to getting to the dungeon” that we see in the manga is similarly peppered iirc.
Tbh it’s one of the reasons I didn’t think this manga would work well as an anime without some rework. It’s story is oddly structured, and it was a little lacking in the story department beyond
Maybe spoilers
I’m super powerful now, let’s literally torture the people that ruined my life.

They seemed to have expanded upon the origin story compared to the manga (not sure about the LN which I’ve not read), and also gave a reason why Light’s gift was not useful until it did.
Wasn’t this explained in the first few pages of the manga? I’ve not watched the anime yet, but I could have sworn it was because
possible spoiler for the anime I guess?
his ability is dependent on how deep into a dungeon he was?
- Comment on Someone Is Sending Fake Letters To T-Mobile Customers Shaming Their Browsing History 3 weeks ago:
It’s amusing that people assume their data is private just because they don’t think it should be public.
That isn’t to say I don’t think it should be private, but it simply isn’t.
- Comment on Someone Is Sending Fake Letters To T-Mobile Customers Shaming Their Browsing History 3 weeks ago:
The names and addresses of people using T-Mobile? I’ve not dug into it, but there are definitely databases out there with phone number => provider, and plenty of databases with phone number => name and address. I assume there are multiple out there than combine them.
Are those lists complete? Absolutely not. But complete enough to send out a bunch of fake warnings to some randos.

- Comment on Meta chief technology officer(CTO) explains why the smart glasses demo failed at Meta Connect — and it wasn’t the Wi-Fi 5 weeks ago:
It really depends. A local machine is guaranteed to not have issues if the general internet goes down. It’s also going to reduce latency considerably.
There are many reasons to have a dev box local to the demonstration. Just because they wouldn’t deploy it that way in production doesn’t mean they wouldn’t deploy a demo in that same way.

If this was a tech demo, it tracks that they wouldn’t be using overpowered hardware. Why lug around a full server when they can just load up the software on a laptop, considering they weren’t expecting hundreds of invokes at the exact same moment.
- Comment on Analog computing is undergoing a resurgence 5 weeks ago:
That’s what I mean though. Convincing users to not use LLMs as a way to reduce CO2 is a fools errand. It will never work. So we should focus on something that can actually move the needle, like speeding up the move to a fully green grid.
- Comment on Analog computing is undergoing a resurgence 5 weeks ago:
Reducing CO2 emissions by not doing LLM slop is apparently off the table.
Not to be argumentative, but has this ever been something the consumer market has done with an emerging “core” technology? I don’t see how this was ever realistically on the table.
AI slop is an unfortunate fact of life at this point. If it’s inevitable, we may as well make it as not terrible as possible.

Sometimes yeah, but the majority of major ones use a ranking system and taking care of your DMARC and such is usually enough to rank you into the not spam category.

Would they have done this if there wasn’t a public backlash? I would bet money the answer is no.
You can’t really do more than make a random claim here. I could counter it by saying “I would be money the answer is yes. but that’s just as useful a statement.

If you’re expecting a laundry list of email addresses and each individual violation, you’re not likely to get that from any company.
