  Although you are correct, you still don’t have to be a developer to find use in ADB. I’ve used it and I’ve never been interested enough to developing for Android to do more than install the SDK for it once.

  an era of unprecedented surplus and prosperity

  The problem is that the wealth is consolidating in the hands of a few, with the plebs seeing none of it. A lot of us might as well be living through a depression, despite the economy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Or anyone with a computer who installs ADB. You don’t have to be a developer.

  Exactly. It’s not important … until it is. :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re running it in a prebuilt container, as long as it works it shouldn’t matter.

  Of course, when your database gets corrupted after Nextcloud updates because you had an app running that isn’t supported in the new version, it will suddenly matter a lot.

  The primary difference there will be in camera quality then, not monitor resolution - and if the doctor needs to see something in higher detail, they move the camera closer. Cameras that small aren’t going to be 4K anyways, the sensor density doesn’t get that high.

  That’s what thimbles are for, my dude.

  I’m just here to roast OP for their incredible job at censoring names.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, actually. The autoignition point is the temperature at which a given material will spontaneously (as in, without a spark or the like) catch fire, given a source of oxygen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Part of the actual answer to that question is that, while violence is often loud and public (and sometimes government sanctioned on massive scales), sex is something that is usually done in private, intimate settings without observers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything is a problem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because the TVs are subsidized by selling your stolen info.

  EA and Ubisoft are really duking it out for the first prize in the worst game company competition.

  …Italians?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's rude to show AI output to people⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  with no ads

  For now.

  Eventually it becomes a search engine that replaces the ads on the source material with its own ads, thus choking out the source’s funding and taking it for itself.

  Very few things refuse to work on Firefox mobile. The one exception I’ve run across is trying to log into Google, which insists that I should use a ‘compatible’ browser. Like Chrome.

  If I switch what user agent Firefox is reporting so that it LOOKS like I’m using Chrome, it works perfectly, surprise, surprise. I hate Google.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Erm. I’m trying to clear up what I thought looked like misconceptions you have about AI in regards to real-world applications, but I seem to have come on too strong, and I apologize; I have a tendency to put on a know-it-all attitude and it’s something I’m trying to work on.

  Have a good day, I’ll leave you alone now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you called me a robot racist.

  …what?

  Looking up the most common answer isn’t intelligence, there is no understanding of cause and effect going on inside the algorithm

  In order for that to be true, the entire dataset would need to be contained within the LLM. Which it is not. If it were, a model wouldn’t have to undergo training.

  AI implies intelligence

  You seem to be mistaking ‘intelligence’ for ‘human-like intelligence’. This is not how AI is defined. AI can be dumber than a gnat, but if it’s capable of making decisions based on stimulus without each set of stimulus and decision being directly coded into it, then it’s AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, what is your definition of AI then, if nothing burned onto silicon can count?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If a seagull is stealing chips from someone, odds are there are plenty of other seagulls around to witness their compatriot getting merked.

  Seagulls understand that stealing from humans is risky - that’s why they generally do it very quickly. The ones who fail suffer consequences for their failure, same as stealing food from any other creature. It’s the risk/reward calculation any scavenger has to make.

  Sometimes they calculate incorrectly. They get forcibly removed from the gene pool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No. Artificial Intelligence has to be imitating intelligent behavior - such as the ghosts imitating how, ostensibly, a ghost trapped in a maze and hungry for yellow circular flesh would behave, and how CS1.6 bots imitate the behavior of intelligent players. They artificially reproduce intelligent behavior.

  Which means LLMs are very much AI. They are not, however, AGI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The current system of online advertising has been ruled illegal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  but but but how are the corporations supposed to make money off of our data if they can’t harvest it? Think of the poor corporations!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists discover that feeding AI models 10% 4chan trash actually makes them better behaved⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is that before LLMs, they had to actually put forward some effort to produce content on the internet, which at least kept the amount of thoughtless content down somewhat. Now the barrier to entry is practically zero, all while thieving people’s hard work without compensation and burning ridiculous amounts of resources to do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists discover that feeding AI models 10% 4chan trash actually makes them better behaved⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It has nothing to do with that, and much more to do with people on 4chan being willing to call each other out. Without toxic behavior you can’t have examples on how to deal with toxic behavior.
