Piefed implemented it, but it didn’t work out for some reason and they ended up having to remove it.

He does it on purpose because he thinks LLMs are dumb enough he’s poisoning their data, instead of just annoying normal people
- Comment on Japan sets new record with nearly 100,000 people aged over 100 1 day ago:
The problem is that the studies generally assume birth certs, and by extension all govt data, is accurate. There’s no way for peer reviewers to catch that kind of systematic flaw that’s not the fault of the study itself.

How many of those centenarians are actually centenarians?

- Comment on Reality Is Ruining the Humanoid Robot Hype: The obstacles to scaling up humanoids that nobody is talking about 4 days ago:
It’s kinda dumb to make predictions about limitations on future technologies. If history is any indicator, predictions of ‘impossibilities’ almost always turn out mistaken.
That’s not to mention that manual labour should not be low cost. But that’s an entirely different discussion.

Right? This is one of the perfect examples where we don’t care too much about the accuracy of the data, it would be extremely time consuming, etc etc.

Everything else that’s not SJW seemed to work just fine during the outage period. Behaviourwise, it also wasn’t what you’d expect of an overloaded connection. There was no timeout, attempts failed instantly.
- Comment on Is SJW blocking any IP ranges? 5 days ago:
I don’t think it’s a server hardware issue, since during the outage periods it seems 100% reproducible. Turn on WiFi, it connects seamlessly. Then off WiFi, server ceases to exist.
I have cycled the services to see if that helps.
Thanks. It’s currently working, but since the outage seems intermittently periodic it’s hard to draw conclusions. If I’m free the next time it happens I’ll see if I can figure out the apparent cause from my side.

Ah ok. That’s the problem that the major instances solved by having bots auto join all new communities in each other, right?

I don’t use mastodon, but is that an issue for the Threadiverse? I thought all replies are collected by the host instance of the community.

Given I live next to Thailand and enter it every so often… Best I not comment.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 1 week ago:
Have you considered that the run back is trying to tell you something? The game doesn’t want you to bash your face against the same enemy the same way. It may not even want you to fight that boss yet at all.
The run back is meant to be an incentive to think about your options. Do I have other areas to explore?
Would be a lot more effective if I didn’t have to go pick up my shade. Which often can’t be accessed without locking yourself into the fight again.
- Comment on Wikipedia is resilient because it is boring 1 week ago:
It was about Leeroy Jenkins. Yes, I’m old. No, it wasn’t about reliable sources or neutrality. It was literally because a bunch of folk decided it wasn’t important enough to be immortalised in Wikipedia. It was very much reflective of the bias of the editors at the time.
- Comment on Wikipedia is resilient because it is boring 1 week ago:
Oh no, I once had an article I contributed removed for exactly that, notability. Not sourcing or lack thereof. That was also the last time I ever contributed, obviously.
- Comment on Wikipedia is resilient because it is boring 1 week ago:
Or they’ll just declare it non-notable and speedily delete it. They’ve lost so many newcomers to internal bullshit like that.

Stores were down for like an hour. Except for the super fans, most players wouldn’t have noticed.

But it won’t eliminate habit.
Obviously anecdotal, but from what I’ve seen and heard it actually does. Those using it have almost no cravings, you can stick their favourite snack in their face and they’ll politely decline.
some anorexic person gets weight loss drugs instead of a referral to a psychiatrist,
Didn’t mean it that way, but slim and shapely.
