pretty much, AI (LLMs specifically) are just fancy statistical models which means that when they ingest data without reasoning behind it (think the many hallucinations of AI our brains manage to catch and filter out) it corrupts the entire training process. The problem is that AI can not distinguish other AI text from human text anymore so it just ingests more and more “garbage” which leads to worse results. There’s a reason why progress in the AI models has almost completely stalled compared to when this craze first started: the companies have an increasingly hard time actually improving the models because there is more and more garbage in the training data.

I wouldn’t say it’s a perfectly fine language but I also don’t understand the people hating on JS developers. If anything kudos to them for suffering through a language filled with such BS as “==” not actually doing what you think it should do (when coming from other languages).

Imo the other problem is even if you do decide to buy the manga in today’s world nothing guarantees your possession of what you just bought. DRM and “only readable in publisher app” are the norm rather than the exception which creates a clusterfuck of a mosaic if you want to legally read the manga that are available that way. Comparatively MangaDex is a single centralised experience that is relatively complete.

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem” (Gabe Newell ~2011)

Same, the only thing talkings to the internet are my reverse proxy and the security cameras (only when viewing them from outside the local network, quite like what reolink does there)

I go out of my way to exclusively spend money with the one publisher I’ve found who does not put DRM in their ebooks. I spend lavishly with them because good practices need to be rewarded monetarily in capitalism or they die out.

The rest I pirate.

Robbing a store is illegal. Murdering someone is also illegal, however one of the two is for good reasons punished much more harshly.

At least here in Germany the bypassing of DRM is so legal they don’t even try to get you for it. The only thing they ever go after nowadays is distributing and consuming that cracked content (get logless VPN and that problem solves itself). But if you go and rip Netflix movies for your own enjoyment they have no leg to stand on in court unless you distribute it.

I will never stop being confused by this law. Just crossing the street cannot possibly be illegal anywhere. I’m fully convinced the entire thing is an elaborate joke by the americans.

Over here you can even make copies for personal use or sharing with a close group of friends.

I love the unintended consequences of declaring that the internet is to be treated under the same laws as radio broadcasts. Suddenly being allowed to make a recorded copy of anything as long as you yourself create the copy becomes significantly more important.

Well I guess we’ll find out how many accidental problems I managed to cram into that RFC soon

well .ml is special, most probaboy don’t have a problem there but if you do you really do (ask me why the anime community on lemmy.ml is practically dead)

.world is just suffering from success, they regularly have federation troubles with other instances because they are by far the largest one and hence run into scaling troubles. Other than that it’s the most reddit like moderation wise also due to being so big. It’s courtesy to steer people away from .world simply to prevent the scaling problems from getting worse

Technically yes but (without reading the article) going by what drivers were removed previously any affected device has been incompatible with modern linux kernels for a while so this probably doesn’t affect anyone’s experience using linux

Get the mail server data, lots of unencrypted internal company info you can use for insider trading (it’s going to take any tax authority a while to notice joe nobody getting rich suspiciously well timed)

Onyx uses Android for their OS as such there are pretty much no restrictions on book formats

yes, it seems to be absolving the isekai genre, although currently there’s still a lot of overlap

You apparently have little interaction with regular users because one of the top problems a non-power user has is “oops I accidentally hit delete on this important file I don’t have a backup of”.

Not saying qbittorrent-nox of all things switching makes a ton of sense but at least for desktop applications there is a very good reason why deleting things becomes a two step process.

Glad to see my favorite diving anime make a return

oh boy that would be one hard sell. Probably would need 500k or more to justify never listening to them again

Back in my days we put the sauce in the comments

strictly speaking facts a society needs to reproduce somewhere close to replacement level or above in order to have some semblance of stability, what OP likely means is that they had kids A) because they wanted them and B) because they don’t think most people make good parents. By having kids they contributed to the birth rate and therefore (hopefully) removed some unfit person’s decision to become a parent because the birth rates are horrendous. Also having kids when you can likely manage to actually raise them properly results in a lower ratio of spoiled brats in the population down the line, idiocracy sadly was very on point with the movies observation about reproduction behaviour among different education levels.
