There's also the graphic novel adaptations of Richard Stark's Parker books, beautifully illustrated by the late great Darwyn Cooke

I appreciated that the article quickly turned to "SO WHERE ARE THE FILES" lol

Do you think they'll ever actually be released? *sigh

There's one dev who's been hard at work making postmarketOS work for FP6:

Can we just leave people alone for fuck's sake. What's this reporter's malfunction that it matters so much that someone is bi? Is it hurting you? Are they affecting anyone else by existing? Just let people find love and be happy.

"I need you to prove it to me"

Get fucked

😘👌🔥

TLDW:

• China is good at compressing the existing models by stealing the answers they give you to make models that have equivalent performance that are way cheaper (plagiarism)
• shares a bunch of clips of Ed Zitron repeating a lot of the things he said over the last six months about there not being a path to profitability for American AI companies
• the bond market looks similar to how it did back before 2008

Knew somebody had to have made a webapp...

some from that list:

• onto
• outdo
• overdo
• oregano
• orzo
• oleo

Years ago, a friend of mine once had: "Seeking partner skilled in armed combat for the coming apocalypse. Must not be averse to cannibalism" as their bio.

Got 'em a couple DMs I think

Am I one of the few who just doesn't use AI at all? I don't have to generate tons of code for work at the moment and brand new projects that I've been given are small--meaning I wouldn't necessarily use it to generate starter boilerplate. I have coworkers that love copilot or spend much longer prompting ChatGPT than they would if they wrote code themselves. A majority of my time is spent modelling the problem, gathering rejuirements, researching others' solutions online (likely this step could be better AI-assisted?), not actually implementing a solution in code.

Anyway, I'm not super anti-AI in software development, and I see where it could be useful. Maybe it just isn't for me yet. The current hype around it as well as the attitude of big-tech exceptionalism ("AI can salve all our problems") feels a bit like a bubble, at least regarding the current generation of LLMs and ML

Which faith? Why doesn't the announcement declare that all faiths will be equally represented and defended? Why is she a christian pastor? What.The. FUCK. Happened to separation of church and state?

It was pseudo-3D, I remember reading an article about how they made the sprites, but can't find that... wikipedia has

Donkey Kong Country was one of the first games for a mainstream home video game console to use pre-rendered 3D graphics

and they used SGI workstations to create the models and animations before compressing/converting them to 2D sprites

Rare invested their NES profit in Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) Challenge workstations with Alias rendering software to render 3D models. It was a significant risk, as each workstation cost £80,000.

(sharing bc I thought that's a crazy amount of money for 1992)

Don't know if this will help assuage your fears: https://www.techradar.com/news/mullvads-no-log-policy-proven-after-police-raid

I've used Mullvad for years, and from what I know, they store almost nothing -- only your randomly generated account number. If you are paying using an anonymous method that's even less to go on.

My thoughts exactly. DRM has rone way off the deep end

Jake Paul (controversial USian idiot that fought Mike Tyson a while back) v Anthony Joshua, British professional fighter. Paul got a broken jaw.

A friend is staying at our house fur the week, and we're watching their pups during the day. They sing:

Toe beans, toe beans, toe beans toe BEEEeans, you're such a fuzzy pup, toe beans

(Jolene, Dolly Parton)

Of course, this is c/lemmyshitpost, but a friend of mine recently lost her husband, and it turns out this is a real thing called "widow's fire". Some people that lose a spouse experience a wild desire for intimacy as part of their grief.

Anyway, the more you know, I guess.

I got an Asus Vivobook with a pretty new AMD chipset that has one... running Fedora, no Idea how to make something use it either :/

I booted up that system and after waiting an hour or so for Windows Update to finish

... 🙄

Crazy workstation though -- wish I had need for all that power so I could justify buying one to play with
