Jebus, fantastic.

Oh no, what rumblings would that be? Prusa has always been a ray of hope…

was having that exact conversation with a buddy yesterday, he figures we’ll see the first attempt this year.

I personally don’t think you can have a romantic relationship with a thing you created. romance is about discovering, learning and growing with someone else. When that else is a manifestation of yourself, it’s ultimately masturbation.

I love it when a brief comment just strips all the arguments to their core. This is exactly it. I’d say he was looking for a companion, but folks don’t create companions to be equals, they create them to control them.

This is just a really fancy, incredibly power hungry sextoy, isn’t it?

So, back to where they came from then.

It’s like a weekly headline in the good ol usa. Type “toddler shoots” in any search engine and get dozens of similar headlines.

Yet somehow it was the “tea party” republicans that ultimately delivered all this bullshit.

And it’s all part of ai training data now too.

I used to wonder when I watched “Star Trek TNG” as a kid, how they could ask for and get such detailed biographical information of a long dead person, enough to recreate that person convincingly, in a holodeck. Well, I guess I have my answer.

I really thought I’d be living in something like the federation one day, instead I’m here boning up on the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.

I haven’t been on facebook in like 10 years, but sounds like it’s exactly as I picture it.

As a working dad with kids, I like my doorbell cam. My self hosted, non-cloud, local only doorbell cam that is.

My f’ing camera feeds are mine.

Honestly, your quick and clear reply is very cathartic. That’s why I prefer Lemmy to my family :).

This is the hardest part. I am trying to let go of my anger as they slowly start to notice and pretend like either no one could have seen this coming, or they were against it all along.

If one single person in my sphere ever just came to me and said “I guess you were right” that would do so much for my mental health. But I need to get past that, and just be happy they finally are coming around.

I am exceptionally bitter seeing some of my formerly maga associates, getting heaps of praise for waking up while the same assholes praising them, were the ones telling me I’m the crazy one. Clearly still have anger to let go of…

You and me both buddy. It sucks seeing all this shit so plainly unfold, only to have what I thought was normal people not just ignore it, but get angry with me for trying to point it out.

Ran across this lately. I guess you can start calling me Cassandra:

People should think about a NASS or Home servers like they do about owning a vehicle.

I wholeheartedly agree. Hell, home server/nas should be more common than cars, I don’t drive every day, but my data is used every minute of every day.

Nope, nothing useful. Right now I am playing with making some skills to do some rudimentary network testing. I figure it’s always nice to have a remote system to ping or nslookup or check a website from a remote location. I have it hooked to a telegram bot (burner account and restricted to just me) and I can ask it to ping or get me a screenshot or speedtest, etc. from anything it can reach on the internet.

Only purpose right now is to have something to show off :).

lol, straight from the redundant department of redundancies.

I do words good.

From a joint statement given by turnip and Trudeau on Feb 13, 2017:

“Given our shared focus on infrastructure investments, we will encourage opportunities for companies in both countries to create jobs through those investments. In particular, we look forward to the expeditious completion of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which will serve as a vital economic link between our two countries.”

What a world we live in where the best we can do is dream about justice.

Sorry if I was harsh, meant it to be more tongue in cheek…

Don’t be obtuse, she’s been meeting with his lawyers, this is all bullshit. She’s going to lie and “exonerate” him in exchange for a pardon. We’ve all seen where this is going.

I am playing with it, sandboxed in an isolated environment, only interacting with a local LLM and only connected to one public service with a burner account. I haven’t even given it any personal info, not even my name.

It’s super fascinating and fun, but holy shit the danger is outrageous. Multiple occasions, it’s misunderstood what I’ve asked and it will fuck around with its own config files and such. I’ve asked it to do something and the result was essentially suicide as it ate its own settings. I’ve only been running it for like a week but have had to wipe and rebuild twice already (probably could have fixed it, but that’s what a sandbox is for). I can’t imagine setting it loose on anything important right now.

But it is undeniably cool, and watching the system communicate with the LLM model has been a huge learning opportunity.
