Since Gen art became a thing i've been using it episodically to create images of a civilization of space-faring boars, representing the future of my glorious South-Western France civilization. They raise ducks and grow wine in space, and the lore is getting a lot deeper than i first thought. It's so fucking fun man.

Just blocked politics & news and my quality of life instantly jumped 200%. I highly recommend it. If something significant happens, you'll read about it in another community.

Alternative interpretation cause i find i18n extremely boring and hate the indirection it adds to a code base : you're telling me I can start making an app without this hassle, and it will only cost me a 2Kloc PR some time in the future. That's a totally manageable price to pay and makes the early dev experience much better (which can have a lot of impact on momentum).

The anti left media blitz before during and after this election has been nothing short of disgusting. You've got people from a party actually founded by Waffen SS accusing the left of being anti-Semitic (because guess what, they're not wholly approving of the genocide in Gaza). No fact check no push back just straight up "plutôt Hitler que front populaire". They don't even hide their shame anymore.

I think there are a few tricks that still make it possible. First, nothing says that you have to, or really that you can simulate a universe 1:1. When you think of it we already simulate millions of universes in video games, but they are dramatically simpler than our reality. So, our parent reality could be much more complex than our own.

Consequently, physics could be vastly different from one layer to another. Maybe in the real reality, entropy isn't that significant and quasi-perpetual motion is possible, making energy super cheap. Maybe the limits in our universe like the speed of light and Planck constants are just hardware caps to prevent us from using too much compute.

I think the bitter lesson here is that there's a bunch of jobs where quality has zero importance.

If you take for example, content marketing, SEO, and ad copy writing... It's a lot of bullshit, and it's been filling the web with gpt-grade slop for 20 years now. If you can do the same for cheap I don't see a reason not to.

Artists are perfectly able to use the fediverse, that is not what is stopping them.

They don't come because they need to be where their fans are. That is why Cara will only be a splash: their niche is artists who place more value on the anti-AI slant than on meeting their audience where it lives. By definition that is not conducive to a lot of organic growth.

Disclaimer : I currently work in the field, not on the fundamental side of things but I build tooling for LLM-based products.

There are a ton of true uses for newer AI models. You can already see specialized products getting mad traction in their respective niches, and the clients are very satisfied with them. It's mostly boring stuff, legal/compliance like Hypercomply or accounting like Chaintrust. It doesn't make headlines but it's obvious if you know where to look.

This exact joke is used in a Community episode, but I never saw it attributed to a professor

666 One Boss

Icq numbers that go HARD

I'm saddened to use this phrase but it is literally virtue signalling. They have no way of knowing lmao

There's an easy mnemonic for that : Compress Ze Vucking File !
