Try to train a human comedian to make jokes without ever allowing him to hear another comedian’s jokes, never watching a movie, never reading a book or magazine, never watching a TV show. I expect the jokes would be pretty weak.

What’s stopping AI companies from paying royalties to artists they ripped off?

Also, lol at accounts created within few hours just to reply in this thread.

The moment their works are the one that got stolen by big companies and driven out of business, watch their tune change.

Edit: I remember when Reddit did that shitshow, and all the sudden a lot of sock / bot accounts appeared. I wasn’t expecting it to happen here, but I guess election cycle is near.

Uber wasn’t making profit anyway, despite all the VCs money behind it.

I guess they have reasons not to pay drivers properly. Give Uber a free pass for it too

sub_,

I do, especially when someone’s profiting from it, while my license is strictly for non commercial.

We all could see that Unity’s layoff was coming, that pricing backlash not only drove away many developers, also probably was driven by troubling financial within the organization.

Twitch is sort of unexpected, but when I see the number of impromptu rules they rolled out and rolled back last year, whether from restricting multi-streaming, to limiting showing brands logo on stream, to restricting / unrestricting female streamers from showing too much skin, etc. I assume that means that even with all those intrusive ads, Twitch is still losing money.

I guess from now on, when a tech company starts to arbitrarily change their T&C / rules to either protect their revenue / market share, and maybe rolling back from backlashes, then it’s a sign that there’s trouble brewing (if you work at those companies, beware)

sub_,

Yeah, this is frustrating.

I can handle absurd sentences like “The dog is cooking the dinner”, and actually finds them beneficial because it prevents me from guessing the whole sentence.

But this is a sign that not enough human efforts are poured into create permutation of the answers.

I’ve seen quality drops of Duolingo, ever since their … IPO, sadly.

Anyway, here’s some ways you can milk the rest of the Duolingo before completely abandoning it.

  • Use the web version, and type in all the answers if it’s possible. Selecting words are good for introducing new words (and reminder in case you forgot), but by typing it on your own, it’s faster to commit into memory.
  • Use classroom mode to get unlimited hearts, create your own classroom and invite yourself in. I assume that Duolnigo will probably eventually stop this loophole
  • Use search engine to search for the sentences you’re unsure of. No, don’t use machine translation, but search on the internet, and see if the sentence ever being used by the sites (news, academic, or personal homepage) using the target language.

I sadly still don’t know what other comparable free alternatives to Duolingo. Anki is great, but it’s largely flashcard for words, not sentences (unless you want to create your own deck). The others require subscription fee.

Other methods? Search for pdf of language grammar files, there are a lot out there. Some are godawful to read, especially those ‘Comprehensive Grammar Guide’ books. Some are amazing, e.g. Tae Kim’s Guide to Japanese.

sub_,

nope, “The dog is cooking a dinner” is that kind of absurdist sentence that works. So that I just don’t guess a human on the subject position. Or ‘eating’ for the verb

sub_,

Looking at the replies on that open ai thread, and how many of people are just going on rooting for ai companies just taking other people’s work without their consent, is alarming, also probably signals that this community might not be for me.

Thank you for everything, and sadly I think I might leave beehaw altogether.

(cue snarky replies, like bye don’t care, etc)

sub_,

I tried few episodes of For All Mankind, but dropped it because it’s very very slow.

I think I’m going to give it another try, since I heard that it’s really good afterwards.

sub_,

I’ve just finished replaying the base FF7 Remake, in preparation of FF7 Rebirth. Also I haven’t touched INTERmission yet.

Some of the games that I’m excited to play in 2024: FF7 Rebirth, Metaphor ReFantazio, Eiyuuden Chronicles, and maybe Dragon’s Dogma 2.

sub_,

I dunno why I misread that as Sex Bot

sub_,

I remember Mirai botnet that scanned for default password on IoT cameras.

They could definitely become a weak link.

sub_,

I think Google support team might have started to see the pattern, getting feedback that they are starting to take action against them.

sub_,

I don’t know if it fits all the prereqs of a FOSS, but there’s mycroft and there’s also jasper

But I have no idea how advanced they are, or how good their 3rd party integrations are.

I was looking for a Sitar, it was really expensive.

Anyway, if you’re looking into beginner music theory, musictheory.net is a good place to start.

The moment I understand how to do all the diatonic seventh chords of a key, how to construct scales & chords, and how it ties to modes, it makes a lot of thing easier to process. E.g. knowing what notes / chords to play when you’re in certain key.

It’s even easier when applied to guitar, since I can learn D minor 7 in one shape, and I can use the same shape for all other minor 7 chords (in the same inversion).

I have a hard time finding free piano sheet music, so I mostly use MusicNotes, which is not free, and the viewer is really not good. For guitar, maybe spend some money on Guitar Pro, and go to ultimate-guitar.com to find tabs to download.

To delve more about piano chords, I use Chordie App, but if you’re just venturing out, I don’t think you should get it yet.

sub_,

I have the 8BitDo Pro 2 controller, it’s great.

However the thumbstick’s rubber eventually crumbled off after a year or so, so I 3D printed these replacements (it’s for SF30, but fits Pro 2), then I got cheap Switch thumbsticks rubber pad to put on top of them. IIRC, you might be able to request thumbstick replacement from them. The 3D printed treplacement + cheap caps feels kinda better than the original.

Depression sets in pretty early, lmao, as expected. Wonder how long do I have left in me.

sub_,

I finished (again) God of War 2018. I thought it was going to sour on me, just like how my 2nd playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn did (and subsequently my 1st playthrough of Forbidden West). But no, it’s still a very good game. Combat is simple but still satisfying, side quests aren’t excessive like Forbidden West, story is still good but less intense than TLoU. My only complaint is that the fast travel is just way too slow. I’m looking forward to Ragnarök now.

Here are some games that I really enjoyed playing/replaying last year- FINAL FANTASY XVI - Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon - Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Reunion - Live A Live - PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo - Tactics Ogre: Reborn - The Case of the Golden Idol - Voodoo Detective - Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising - Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge - Shin Megami Tensei: Persona - Sword of the Vagrant - Tail Concerto - The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble - Wild Arms - Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana - Ys: Memories of Celceta - Zero Escape Trilogy - God of War

My top is probably FF16, I have soft spot for this type of siblings story, also loving the Asura’s Wrath section.

sub_,

I’m at S03, it definitely has some good and funny writings in it. But I have a massive dislike of those sort of rich pieces of shit that I always have mixed feelings when watching it.
