Does an ordinary key hold a special memory for you? 🔑

Hey just FYI that private key has been leaked. All the people talking about it are saying that it's bad to have any key below 255, so you should move to 256 like I did.

What do you do when you get at 3am and actually wake up wake up?
Reply in thread
Or the way I interpreted it:
Wake up wake up: Waking up and either not being able to or not wanting to get back to sleep.
Wake up: Just waking up at all, including when you just roll over and go back to sleep or go to the bathroom and immediately return to sleep.

They accidentally a word, not that big of a fuck up. Unless I missed something else in all the times I re-read that (and it did take a couple times to notice the missing "up").
Either way, their meaning is pretty clear.

Yeah, that seems to be where the main issue is, though that methane from their farts isn't trivial either. The CO₂ they release themselves over their lifetime is carbon neutral (in the long term).

Hang on, if the difference is coming from cow farts, that CO₂ would have been released back to the atmosphere eventually anyways when whatever the cow would have eaten decayed.
As I understand it, the main process that reduces atmospheric CO₂ (other than the ocean, which is more of a reserve than a sink) is when it reacts with silicon/silica in the rocks, which is more or less a constant process, though increased frequency of things like landslides can increase it. Most of the CO₂ that gets used by plant life is just temporary until animal or microbial life converts it back to CO₂ for energy.
At least that's how I understand it. Though if you mean greenhouse gases in general, maybe it's extra methane being produced by the cow's digestive process rather than going straight to CO₂?

Instructions told me to tie a reef knot - I did a zeppelin bend instead

My trick is if I want a different knot, I just add more loops that I stick things through. This probably isn't the ideal approach.

Careful with this mindset, otherwise it can be used against you like reverse psychology.
Harris embraced Liz Cheney, so it went both ways there, but "y supports x" doesn't always mean "x supports y".

There's probably others that I'm not aware of, but in addition to being an amazing movie, it's the only black and white movie I know of where the acting is natural rather than looking like someone putting on a performance.

"Collision" is too harsh a term, let's call it "passing too close"
Reply in thread
Objection! Your honour, it's not the strong nuclear force that repels atoms from each other but the electromagneticweak force from the atoms' electron shells that repell other objects! Also a collision isn't when atoms come into contact with each other but when they approach each other with sufficient force that the repelling force transfers momentum to those atoms, making their overall velocity harder to maintain control of and/or disrupting the solid structure of one or both objects involved.

And they'll miss important test cases such that their change will pass all of their tests (they keep iterating until it does) but then will still fail on some common edge cases.

Yeah, I did some more reading about it and if I'm understanding correctly, the main issues are from the machines involved in the process (eg, fertilizer production chain, farm machines used to plant, grow, harvest, and process the feed crops, transport of the feed and the animals) and the carbon being converted to and released as methane from the cows themselves.
Chickens and pigs aren't as bad because they convert their calories to meat more efficiently and chickens don't release as much methane from their digestive process (not sure about pigs, didn't dig that far).
Land use is another issue, though that's more for biodiversity than climate change. Though all the land that used to be forests did contain some of the carbon, even if it was just temporary, new trees would replace the old in forests but that doesn't happen in pastures.

Middle cat: This probably isn't your problem but why didn't you move the mounted HDD up so you could mount this hanging HDD without twisting the ribbon? I'll fix it. Scratches the shit out of the ribbon cable
Edit: lol didn't notice that there already was a twist in the cable anyways until after posting.

Might have more luck if you switched to the lazy em dash that is just two normal dashes.
I think that the people trying to call out slop are doing more to hurt those competing with AI than AI itself.
Like someone using AI to produce stuff might get annoyed at being called out but then will probably just think "ok, gotta prompt it to avoid these signs" or waits for a newer model or just dgaf that people notice it's AI.
But people producing their own things and being accused of it being AI must feel pretty fucking discouraged that not only do they need to compete with something that can output things in a fraction of the time, but even when they do, some people accuse them of being what they hate.
For text content, IMO it should be taken based on what is said rather than who (or what) said it. If it's useless slop, there will be things to push back on other than the formatting. Plus, it wouldn't surprise me if you could just add "format it like a low effort forum post" to the prompt to get it to avoid some of the more obvious formatting tells.
Also, if people religiously call out AI slop when they see it, that could be used to automate training similar to what I'm sure happened to drastically improve programming capabilities, which will accelerate the speed at which they can become indistinguishable from things produced by real people.

Economics get in the way, too. As demand for beef for ethical or environmental reasons go down, that just reduces the optimal price for beef, which means those who would have bought more but didn't because of the price can now buy more of it.
Not saying this is a reason to not reduce your beef consumption, just that the system is so complex and the results are delayed (farmers need to guess how many calves are worth raising for beef/dairy vs just turning to veal long before any of that meat will make it to market, and those calves are getting made either way because that's how the dairy industry works: milk requires pregnancy).

Head of Instagram Says He Has No Idea How to Deal With Wave of Horrible AI Slop
Reply in thread
Yeah, all the stupid "recommended" shit the algorithms added to my feeds eventually made it pretty easy to break the fb/insta scrolling habit. Fb was the place where I went to see what was up with people I knew and interact with them. Their comment setup is even worse than reddit for "anything you say is lost in the noise", so attempts at discussion were useless, though even if it was setup better, the quality of the comments themselves was like YouTube comment level.
Even more annoying, in addition to adding random shit to your feed, they also seemed to filter the list of friends they showed updates from to a small list that I have no idea how they even selected them. So I'd still end up missing life updates from some people if I didn't go to their profile.
I mean, I don't doubt it's way worse now with AI slop, but it was already shit before this.

Personally, I think not. I think he's just trolling and rage baiting with the name changes. Also some distracting.
But that doesn't mean he's immune to counter trolling. Not that I think Lemmy is even on his radar, so it's more imaginary counter trolling.

For everyone that got this far without paying attention to anything, there was a meme posted and someone made a comment about it being a netflix moment, another person asked what they meant, and they said that they were referring to writing for audiences that aren't really paying attention so they still don't get as lost, and then it was rehashed with different wording, then a user said this was already explained, then I explained what happened.
This will be repeated again shortly for anyone not paying attention to this, or you can ask your favourite AI to give you a summary so you can pretend you were always following along.
