Great, thanks, otherwise would not have clicked:

Hacker News commenters were really skeptical the new call/feature was insufficient. Anyone know whether these APIs would’ve been OK after all?

Storage Access Framework (SAF) or MediaStore API

Apple’s iOS 18 was wildly buggy for months after release. (macOS latest a tad buggy too, really stupid bugs.) “software quality crisis” someone penned

Hardware is phenomenal (if “uninteresting“)

Hmm, Apple intelligently hides the dots, I’d be annoyed too

IDK if the people actually denying claims were scared enough to change their behavior, well plausible enough ya

Wonder if any updated guidance went out to them at any point, written or not

Congratulations to the person who downvoted this

They use a tool to improve their life?! Screw them!


Here’s hoping over the next few years we see little baby-sized language models running on laptops entirely devour the big tech AI companies, and that those models are not only open source but ethically trained. I think that will change this community here.

I get why they’re absolutist (AI sucks for many humans today) but above your post as well you see so much drive-by downvoting, which will obviously chill discussion.

It's most peoples understanding that being a member of any organization that has "socialist" in the name can make you a target for fascist. But I think it's also most peoples perspective that EVERYONE is a target for fascist eventually. There is no defense in just sitting by and hoping that you're the last to be targeted.

this is

As a straight white male it's definitely a privileged position to not have to be as concerned yet.

a great

The SRA itself is not at all political though and members are discouraged from doing any organizing that could be connected directly to the organization. It's basically meant to be a safe space for people to learn responsible gun ownership. Something that is usually dominated by the "maga hats".

Thank you!

Think the FBI hangs out with y’all, post-9/11-mosque style? Which was very nice and not harassy of them

Wonder if members are safer given you’ll all be more knowledgeable than average or whether fascists would make a point to target the group as the rights situation further declines.

Hopeful the midterms magically change things somehow and we don’t devolve into this conversation being incredibly relevant/important and it can stay a no-knowledge theoretical comment of mine

Start seeding your social media history with MAGA five years ago (they’re smart enough to check that right, they only care about loyalty—forget competence)

Also be bad enough and presumably you’re a terrorist like a Tesla protestor (naughty naughty, only domestic terrorists don’t support Elron)

Without civil asset forfeiture and wasteful budgets, would be hard to militarize as much as many US departments

They’ve been playing Military Police for years now. Good news of course is the dozens of joints they’ve taken off our streets!

Can’t wait till martial law? Fascist in Chief salivates like he did over Ivanka in that TV interview

Ayyyy welcome to Lemmy!

In case that dude/person’s opinions suck we’re generally a lil nicer than reddit which is great for all of us

1: always be on lookout for slightest challenge to authority

2: arrest whoever possible

Obviously we’ve seen videos where the opposite is true too, not an absolutist, but ya def the MO for many

I'd rather read the prompt (claytonwramsey.com)

“When I grade students’ assignments, I sometimes see answers like this:

Utilizing Euler angles for rotation representation could have the following possible downsides:

  • Gimbal lock: In certain positions, orientations can reach a singularity, which prevents them from continuously rotating without a sudden change in the coordinate values.
  • Numeric instability: Using Euler angles could cause numeric computations to be less precise, which can add up and produce inaccuracies if used often.
  • Non-unique coordinates: Another downside of Euler angles is that some rotations do not have a unique representation in Euler angles, particularly at singularities.

The downsides of Euler angles make them difficult to utilize in robotics. It’s important to note that very few implementations employ Euler angles for robotics. Instead, one could use rotation matrices or quaternions to facilitate more efficient rotation representation.

[Not a student’s real answer, but my handmade synthesis of the style and content of many answers]

You only have to read one or two of these answers to know exactly what’s up: the students just copy-pasted the output from a large language model, most likely ChatGPT. They are invariably verbose, interminably waffly, and insipidly fixated on the bullet-points-with-bold style. The prose rarely surpasses the sixth-grade book report, constantly repeating the prompt, presumably to prove that they’re staying on topic.”

Five of the world‘s most popular language models from four of the world’s top AI companies each confabulate/hallucinate an incorrect answer to a question about a nonexistent “Marathon Crater“.

Disabled man gifted custom software built with ChatGPT - how could the anti-AI cohort reckon with this not-quite-inverse Robinhood kind of scheme? (corp steals from world, man uses for good)

(corp steals from world, man uses theft to help brother communicate)

Wanted to ask on /c/fuck_ai but didn’t want to get banned or ruffle feathers and miss a good discussion

Replies are welcome regardless of whether anyone personally finds the “theft“ premise preposterous - probably most useful as a thought experiment here, to pretend you & I are arguing against someone who has always been anti-AI
