ICE is doing arrests on suspicion of immigration status. This act allows deportation without trial or hearing. Combine the two, and anyone can be 'legally' disappeared with no trial.

Chugging a quad shot espresso while saying 'get up trinity. Get. Up.' in my head

If you time it right, the anxiety from the caffeine hitting really sells the feeling that a matrix agent is coming to kill you so better get moving.

Legumes.

naaaah, surely around 30 different massive companies all did a fleet order on the same day at the same dealership? there's no way the wanker who constantly manipulates stocks would manipulate sales!

Idk what to tell you, a lot of youtubers talk pretty fuckin slow

I'll always be thankful that vaping got me off tobacco, and eventually nicotine too. But there's an abyssal gulf between the self assembled, diy vape and self mixed liquid that vaping started at, and the white ox grade addiction pods that vaping has become.

There's absolutely no reason to have the default strength be 50mg/mL, unless optimising for addiction without quite hitting a poisonous dose.

on average, i'm earning 3x as much from bandcamp FLAC sales compared to what i earn off streaming. Hasn't been ruined so far.

Blahaj ain't hexbear, if they want to auth com it up they can do it on their instance - nothing stopping them from making a tankie 196

I'm going to throw my own thoughts in on this. I got into machine learning around 2015, back when relu activations were still bleeding edge innovations, and got out around 2020 for honestly pretty similar reasons.

Emotions can and have been used as optimisation targets. Engagement is an ever present target. And in the framework of capitalism, one optimisation targets rules above all others; alignment with continued use. It's part of what leads to the bootlicking LLM phenomenon. For the average human, it drives future engagement.

The real danger isn't the newer language models, or anything really to do with neural net architecture; rather, it's the fact that we've found that a simple function minimisation strategy can be used to approximate otherwise intractable functions. The deeper you research, the more clear it becomes that any arbitrary objective can be optimised, given a suitable function approximator and enough data to fit the approximator accurately.

Human minds are also universal function approximators.

If they’re older than that, then they’re probably just tankies.

hey now, some of us are FOSS greybeards

Such a tragedy

I wake up, dishes to do. Try to get dressed to do dishes, but no I need to do laundry first.

Gather up clothing, open up the washing machine, why the fuck are there dishes here?

Take them to the sink to get them out of the way, but I realize the sink is made out of dirty laundry

This hellish nightmare is unyielding, the chores stretch on as the one gruelling reminder that I'm not truly free, forever chained to these two menial tasks that define my very being.

Bingo, modern datasets are a list of URL's with metadata rather than the files themselves. Every new team/individual wanting to work with the dataset becomes another DDoS participant.

Cringe is a spook of social conformity, kill the cringe cop in your head.

Kill it Le epic style like the wholesome chungus 💯 you are

I'll sit out the vote itself, because I don't have enough personal interaction with Reddit to form an unbiased view of their workings.

That being said, I'm pretty cautious towards the idea of defederation; if the issue primarily stems from those communities, I'd prefer targeted bans. Otherwise, we're only shutting ourselves out as dissenting voices, which only leads to more of an echo chamber effect on feddit.

Don't hide from those who need confronting.

They're proud capitalists, so it never bothered them. They aren't proud of their slopware though

If anything, it'd be a bias towards spaceplane designs over straight up rockets. As long as the atmospheric density relative to the gravity supports it, offloading some of the acceleration to high atmospheric flight using ram/scramjets can massively reduce the launch vehicle mass (don't need to carry oxidisers for the flight stage).

That being said, it also would be a bias against high orbits and space exploration in general; safe re-entry is tricky enough on earth.

Probably wherever the trees are exploding

Honestly reminds me a lot of the digg migration - the amount of people joining a Lemmy instance is staggering

Radish the kind of veggie that gets relegated to a mook in DBZ

There, roasted.
