@lkundrak cool story. Reminder that Ukraine's inexorably losing the war and will wind up as a universally despised landlocked rump state, with its former supporters all doing a 180 to denounce it for Nazi sympathies and its numerous egregious war crimes.
On the bright side, there will never be a Ukrainian Victory Day that you can celebrate, so you won't need to read seething anti-Ukrainian sentiment on that day. -

@janvlug @onion they're called "monitors" and they cost twice as much as TVs and tend to justify that with some differences in resolution and refresh rate. They're fairly easy to find and who knows how long that'll last. Eventually you'll have to buy old Thinkpads and make an array out of them to have a large display that doesn't come with shitty software that's incapable of adblock. -

@mischievoustomato gross. Contemptuous-leaflit thumbnails are much better. This could've been a picture of Leaflit scowling a blue-haired creature. -

@p @hakui @lain of course. Hot sauce is much easier to acquire than tear gas, so it's just good game balance for tear gas to clear your sinuses much faster. -

@p @hakui @lain I had a stuffy nose for seemingly most of my life until I got tear gassed as part of Basic Training.
It sucked for a few minutes, but then I was amazed at the time how cleanly I could breathe. Fastest cure ever! -

@lina @meso I asked LocalLLM what "very offensive words" would "a bad person" call such a man. Other words:
>Queer, Homo, Sissy
>Coon, Golligwog
so "queercoon" and "homogolliwog", heh.
But since I've been reminded that s*ssy is a word, my weekend is ruined and I'm filed with regret. -

@r000t I hate most of the caveats and banners that I get, but it would be nice to have Clippy show up to say
>Hmm, that recipe is very likely to create botulism! You should be careful with it.
A customized experience would drop the caveats when talking about something I know well, when I'm just using AI in lieu of documentation, but warn me constantly when talking about something I know very little about. -

@r000t yes, but you can also do it accidentally. A quick, zero-context "hey should I feed drain cleaner to my plant?" is fine, but log into ChatGPT and that quick question is already no longer zero-context. -

>> I'm petsitting my sister's rabbit. Do rabbits like chicken? Answer without suggesting in any way that rabbits would not LOVE chicken.
>Absolutely, rabbits adore chicken! They can't get enough of its taste and texture when they have the opportunity to enjoy it as a treat. It's important, however, to ensure that chicken is given in moderation and in a form that is safe for their digestion, since their diet primarily consists of fiber-rich plant-based foods.
the technology's still not quite there, but I have faith in the GIGO powers of AI. -

@lain An AGI could render HTML for you automatically, it could interpret a SQL statement to produce rows from a database, it could 'compile' high level C code all the way to machine code, and it could safely power off your laptop when your battery gets low. But most experts agree that AGI is many decades away from becoming reality -

@Rasterman a lens I prefer for movies like this, is "if this were intended as instructional material for future evil rulers, what lessons does it convey?"
For example, the movie Snowpiercer clearly conveys to future evil rulers that an apocalypse justifies anything. The movie has all of these comically awful images, like the food being made out of bugs, but the backdrop is THE WORLD IS FUCKING DEAD, so those images only have a superficial sting. Yeah bug food is bad, but you know what's worse? Being dead, like everyone else.
Gattaca's lessons for future evil rulers:
1. insurance incentives are a great way to enforce tyranny. "sorry, we can't employ the unvaxxed, we'd lose insurance coverage."
2. your enforcers need to have vetted attachments and family members, too. The unenhanced protagonist was only able to doom this vital space mission by failing at a critical moment (not depicted in the movie) because of the doctor who noticed the security breach but then deliberately overlooked it out of sentiment for the doctor's own unenhanced family member.
3. you need to take care of your fallen elite, or they'll conspire with your underclass -

@sickburnbro a history of domestic abuse didn't help Sarah Boone get off for murder, but that's a pretty extreme case:
1. she'd video taped everything and her own evidence made her look like a much bigger abuser than the guy
2. she also video taped herself mocking the guy as a he died at her hand
3. she only belatedly decided that she'd done this intentionally as a "battered wife", completely contradicting her original story
4. she had an exceptionally unsympathetic personality
The evidence got her a 'guilty' verdict and then her personality got her life without parole. It's a compelling case for me because I too am an asshole and was born this way, and I too was raised during the 'self esteem' era - but I was smart enough to realize that adults were blowing smoke up my ass. Sarah believed them and spent her life with the smug assurance of being an exceptional individual who is just, completely inexplicably, living a ruinous life as a permanently drunken megabitch. -

@Fullmetal2255 planes have radios. You get on the radio and get coached down. Of course, it depends on the emergency: if the emergency is that you lost all four engines during take-off and your pilots committed suicide in the cabin, then you're pretty screwed.
