Defederating also blocks the users. Instance blocking at the user level just blocks the communities, you have to block each user individually.
- Comment on lol 1 day ago:
Plus it was responding to prompts that would lead it to respond with that part of the training data, because chatbots don’t have output without being prompted.

It could be, but we all know it won’t be since the whole approval process exists to deny claims to increase profits.

HDD being used for SSD is like using a floppy disk icon for saving data to a HDD!

I was surprised they didn’t have a restriction on the display names for something like this.

I’ve been watching Red Letter Media Best of the Worst for the last hour so either I’m not having the same issues or it just buffered enough to not be an issue.

- Comment on Video game romances need to evolve beyond lore dumps 2 days ago:
Shallow and rushed, since it has to develop in a few dozen hours of gameplay with a limited number of NPCs!
- Comment on Video game romances need to evolve beyond lore dumps 3 days ago:
BG3 romances seem shallow and kind of transactional because it is a mix of characters who don’t know each other having a whirlwind romance in a relatively short period of time. They are easily comparable to the majority of romances in movies and books with similar circumstances.
The other thing that is always going to make romances in games difficult to do in more detail is a lack of real world senses that play a huge part in attraction. Smells, tone of voice, flirting based on what is cutrently happening are either impossible or extremely time consuming to implement in a computer game. Like you could luck into picking the right cologne for a character or something, but that is along the same lines as picking the right voice lines.
Not saying it is literally impossible to do, but it really is a monumental task to implement relationships that don’t seem forced or obviously mechanical in a video game. If they did implement one perfectly, the randomness of real life would make it nearly impossible to have a romance as there are so many things that can easily derail a relationship forming including just not being in the mood to reciprocate affection because of some completely unrelated event!

- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 4 days ago:
The push for lossless seems more like pushback on low bit rate and reduced dubamic range by avoiding compression altogether. Not really a snob thing as much as trying to avoid a common issue.
The video version is getting the Blu-ray which is significantly better than streaming in specific scenes. For example every scene that I have seen with confetti on any streaming service is an eldritch horror of artifacts, but fine on physical media, because the streaming compression just can’t handle that kind of fast changing detail.
It does depend on the music or video though, the vast majority are fine with compression.
- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 5 days ago:
Generally just online games where the changes are enough that they don’t play the same way that I enjoyed them. Counterstrike, WoW, Overwatch, and others all did reworks that ruined the gameplay I enjoyed.
Older single player games aren’t as fun because they are clunky compared to newer games, like Neverwinter Nights compared to Baldur’s Gate 3. But I didn’t fall out of love, just don’t enjoy interacting with their controls.
- Comment on Push to repeal Section 230 raises stakes for how social media moderates content 5 days ago:
If they use the data for any purpose other than displaying results for users they need to be treated as publishers.
Sell to advertisers? Publisher. Use for own advertising? Publisher. Sell to AI companies? Publisher.
- Comment on 'The Most Dejected I’ve Ever Felt:' Harassers Made Nude AI Images of Her, Then Started an OnlyFans 1 week ago:
This is absolutely horrible and I wish the media would stop working things as if genAI have xray specs that can reveal what is underneath clothing.
Someone used AI to remove her clothing in the original photo.
Someone used AI to generate a hypothetical nude based on the original photo. They made fake nudes of her for the purpose of harassment, yes, but they did not magically create actual nudes of her. The punishment should be the same as releasing nudes against her will, but terminology like ‘remove clothes’ makes it sound like genAI can magically create real nudes of someone.
- Comment on I'm fed up with Copilot, and I'm not sure it can be fixed 1 week ago:
This is because the advertising for LLMs present them as if they were intelligent.
LLMs are being promoted as a tool that can do anything even though the only thing they do well is output text that resembles human patterns. It is a hammer and they are pretending everything is a nail.
- Comment on A remote code execution vulnerability has been found in Microslop Notepad 1 week ago:
Windows used to come with notepad (raw text) and wordpad (basic markup). It would have made more sense to keep wordpad and add markdown to it instead so there would still be something that is just raw text.
- Comment on Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background 1 week ago:
Discord has made communicating with a small group of friends who moved to different cities stay in touch daily while playing games, chatting in voice, and streaming stuff to share. Voice and text are great, but the streaming is how we share the in game moments we used to be able to see in person.
- Comment on Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background 1 week ago:
The main thing I will miss from discord is the ease of streaming with a small group of friends. That was main reason we chose it over alternatives back in the day.
- Comment on Chatbots Make Terrible Doctors, New Study Finds 1 week ago:
Someone who uses stack overflow to solve a problem will be doing testing to confirm it worked as part of an overall development workflow.
Using an LLM as a doctor is like vibe coding, where there is no testing or quality control.

Rawdogging the first response from stack overflow to try and fix a coding issue isn’f going to kill someone.

Wouldn’t matter since the body double is doing the same terrible shit for the same reasons as Trump was prior to 15 years ago.

That is like the person steering to avoid a collision while cruise control and lane assist are on, it isn’t actually fully autonomous.

As the OP stated, the low velocity cases are not causing deadly accidents.
Make humans drive as slow as these cars and deaths will drop too.
