• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From millions of dollars to under a grand: The dramatic fall of the NFT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the person you’re talking to, but it seems like a stretch that some little nightclub will want to build and maintain their own smart contract infrastructure. It’s not just issuing the tickets, it’s also building and distributing the tools to quickly validate the hundreds/thousands of attendees every night.

  For example, it’s not enough just to validate that everyone at the gate has an NFT. I could enter the venue with a valid token, and then transfer it to my friend still outside once I’m through the door. So now the bouncer needs to track what tickets have already been scanned, and you probably want it to update off-chain (faster and no gas fees).

  Not that I can pretend to know what already goes in to a venue supporting TicketMaster, but I figure there’s got to be a reason why these middlemen were wanted in the first place. That reason is probably about venues wanting to do music and not tech support.

  People likw that have always existed, and always will. They live a life where whatever they ever wanted is right nearby, and they can’t imagine that the place which is good enough for them isn’t good enough for someone else.

  I will say this: don’t let his attitude make you afraid of traveling. I’m always a homebody, but even for me there’s an excitement in being a stranger in a strange land every once in a while. Give it a try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I like coffee, and I avoid over-roasted beans and hate especially bitter coffee.

  Over roasted: Burn the fuck out of your low-quality beans so that all flavor nuance is lost and every batch tastes identical.

  Too bitter: Over extracted during brewing. It’s a skill issue, and even the darkest roasted beans can be prepared without excessive bitterness.

  For me, an over-extracted coffee is never acceptable, but I don’t hate over-roasted beans if I’m at a breakfast diner.

  I know this comment is a joke, but the CA bill requires age bucketing for to be provided by the OS to “covered stores”. Basically, any source of 3rd party programs.

  Since TempleOS (at least, the original one written solely by Terry Davis) has no networking stack, no such “covered store” can exist. I think there’s not even support to load external storage drives, so all programs on the machine are either written by the user or provided first-party by the OS. I think TempleOS would be exempt on those grounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This apartment complex has an indoor balcony⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I could get behind this if there was any actual decoration or community-oriented furniture in the hallway.

  Maybe some fake plants, a bench/sofa, vending machines, etc. Any kind of reason to spend time in the hallway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landmark trial accusing tech giants of harming children with addictive social media begins⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You make a good point, and one that I didn’t necessarily consider.

  Maybe it’s naïveté, but I do still imagine this case could be hypothetically won without trampling section 230. Mostly because we have actual evidence that Meta designs their products to be harmful: Whistleblower leaks and books hace clearly demonstrated that management works to juice profits at the cost of users. Eg: Collecting data about users with body-image issues and selling it to beauty advertisers. When you can point to actual emails between decision-makers saying “Ignore this problem, it makes too much money for us to solve”, I’d hope the case would revolve around not letting people prioritize shitty business decisions at the cost of people. Then theoretically, as long as you don’t have a bunch of lemmy mods coordinating similar practices, the case wouldn’t apply to them.

  Hmm, now that I type it out, that’s definitely a naïve take. I don’t expect to see actual justice against corporations in the USA any time soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landmark trial accusing tech giants of harming children with addictive social media begins⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like the case is about inherently addictive features of the website, and not about hosted content.

  the lawsuit claims that this was done through deliberate design choices made by companies that sought to make their platforms more addictive to children to boost profits. This argument, if successful, could sidestep the companies’ First Amendment shield and Section 230

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Midnight is a stupid time for the clock to roll over to the next day⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard people say “the wee hours of the night” to refer to time between midnight and dawn.

  I think one of the reasons that there’s not a good word for that in English is because it’s the time anyone is least likely to be awake, so there’s not much reason to talk about it. And then by the time humans built enough lights to do something worthwhile at 02:00, we also had clocks and started to describe that period in reference to clock readings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'It's not a clone of D:OS2': 6 big takeaways from our interview with Larian after the reveal of Divinity⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. The combat was one of the weaker parts of D:OS2.

  • Late-game damage sponge enemies.
  • There are fundamentally two enemy types: weak to physical and weak to magic.
  • Goddamn cursed ground where you waste source points blessing it only for an enemy to re-curse it next turn.

  It streams video from the HDMI port so I can see what’s happening before SSH starts up, and plugs into a USB socket to emulate a remote keyboard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gatekeeper: The first open-source DDoS system. Has anyone tried mass hosting this as a group?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like this system relies on defending from well-defined entrypoints to the network. I’m not sure how a group of enthusiasts could use this unless they centralize their systems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s Grok Goes Haywire, Boasts About Billionaire’s Pee-Drinking Skills and ‘Blowjob Prowess’⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From the original 404 article:

  And yet, this is of course an extreme example of the broader political project of AI chatbots and LLMs: They are top-down systems controlled by the richest people and richest companies on Earth, and their outputs can be changed to push the preferred narratives aligned with the interests of those people and companies. This is the same underlying AI that powers Grokipedia, which is the antithesis of Wikipedia and yet is being pitched by its creator as being somehow less biased than the collective, well-meaning efforts of human volunteers across the world.

  You may already know this, but a lot of everydy people don’t. They still think that a computer can’t have bias, and if all these tech bros and business leaders are talking about AI then maybe it does make sense to replace our society with an impartial machine. This article is for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you beat post-work floppiness?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s quite insidious, and tbh there’s only so much you can do to control how you feel after work. Instead of hoping to feel good every day, I try and set myself up for success on random days where I do leave work with energy.

  In my case this means I have 1 or 2 braindead-easy dinners waiting in the wings. Good leftovers I can reheat in the oven, or a meal that takes 2 steps to prepare. If I don’t have to worry about cooking dinner, then I have that much more time to dedicate to a hobby when the fancy strikes me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Small Town Is Fighting a $1.2 Billion AI Datacenter for America's Nuclear Weapon Scientists⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since this will be a facility owned by a public university, I think the city would see no property tax revenue from this project. So why should a city trade its health and/or morals for a nuclear weapons datacenter and not even get anything out of it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Block Blasters: Theft of $32k in crypto from a stage 4 cancer patient due to valve’s incompetence in allowing malware on their platform⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With meme coins, the liquidity is dogshit. There’s no real market for sale.

  If you sell the tokens piece-by-piece as you get them, you drive down the future price and might get less real money overall. Better to sell a big chunk at once.

  Also, not every exchange has a wallet/custody system. It’s entirely possible for direct p2p trades to happen without any intermediate transfers. I don’t know if pump.fun actually does this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Office parks in the middle of nowhere suck. You’re never going to be close to everyone, employees can’t walk somewhere for a change of scenery or to take a break, and being away from downtown means public transit is less likely to reach the area.

  I’m all for letting people pick a coworking space if they want, but making people commute to the suburbs is a different kind of hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If AI “hallucinates,” doesn’t that make it more human than we admit?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  AI doesn’t make things up: It “believes” (doesn’t actually have belief) a real thing just as much as a false thing. The two are indistinguishable to LLMs because the only “true” thing for a chatbot is the existence of text and tokens. Everything else is meaningless to the math.

  Does my sewer pipe have imagination because is spewed black goop across my kitchen instead of carrying my waste water away like it normally does? Is my TV hallucinating a new show because the screen got damaged at the factory? Did a printing press create art when it smudged the text on my paperback?

  LLMs are tools with a high defect rate which tech billionaires and the media branded as hallucintation to sound more impressive.

  I’d rather hear about this now than wake up one day to see that my flipper is illegal because some politician watched a tiktok video.

  You can generate your ssh keys outside of docker and make them available in the container through a mounted directory. You will need to manually copy the public key to your remote host authorized_keys file anyway.
