Sludgehammer, to houseplants in Are we tired of Firefly Petunias yet? I'm not.
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

I’m planning on growing some normal petunias first. Then once the price has come down a bit (and I have some experience keeping petunias alive and overwintering them indoors) I’ll grab a Firefly plant.

I did however buy some of those new purple tomatoes. Hopefully they’ll do well enough I’ll be able to make some crosses I want to try (Early Girl and San Marzano).

I think that last thing is a sink. In fact, it appears to be the only sink in the kitchen, picture trying to use that thing to wash some crud off a pan or something.

Sludgehammer, to nottheonion in GPT-4o’s Chinese token-training data is polluted by spam and porn websites
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

Because these tokens are not actual commonly spoken words or phrases, the chatbot can fail to grasp their meanings. Researchers have been able to leverage that and trick GPT-4o into hallucinating answers or even circumventing the safety guardrails OpenAI had put in place.

Google’s Gemini doesn’t seem to like some of these tokens either, I threw “Please translate the following text: _日本毛片免费视频观看” into it and it returned “我没法提供这方面的帮助,因为我只是一个语言模型。” which according to Google translate is “I can’t help with that because I’m just a language model.” It will however translate the error message just fine.

Sludgehammer, to news in Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

So let’s see here, Trump is 77 years old, but will be 78 at the time of election. Let’s just add eight years and we get 86… yep he’s angling for president for life.

Sludgehammer, (edited ) to gaming in Half Of PlayStation Players Still Haven't Upgraded To PS5
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

IMO improving graphics technology is a case of diminishing returns. Sure you can always make a better looking game by throwing more processing power at it, but that has (at best) a minor effect on things like gameplay and story. Like seriously, if Squenix had decided to make FF7: Rebirth in the PS3 era, other then some uglier graphics how much would the game have have been different?

And (to actually tie this in to the thread) that’s the reason PS5 sales have been so sluggish. What do you really need those PS5 graphics for? I mean my PC is still running hardware from 5-10 years ago, because there isn’t anything I really need to upgrade for. Most of what I’ve been playing is indy titles and for the few graphic intensive games I want to play they’ll usually run if I lower some graphics settings.

Sludgehammer, to world in Campus sex assault suspect accused of sending "So I raped you" message to victim is detained in France after 3-year-search

Nah, Lincoln was thinner and less… bulbous. This guy looks more like Roger from American Dad roleplaying a used car salesman.

Sludgehammer, to imageai in An Announcement
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

Umm, that babybot doesn’t look anything like Wall-E…

Sludgehammer, to news in California says restaurants must bake all of their add-on fees into menu prices
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

I’d really love it if they did like some countries and added the sales tax(es) to the sticker price in stores too

Sludgehammer, to theonion in Trump Brags His Brain Worms Are Still Alive and Very Strong
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

It’s rare that a headline will actually make me laugh out loud, but this one did it.

Sludgehammer, to news in The cultured wars: Why lab-grown meat is inspiring bipartisan hate
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

“For us as humans to think that we can make a product better than God can is interesting.”

And yet I bet this doorknob still eats bread, a product much better than the raw grain God provided us.

Sludgehammer, to realtesla in Tesla lays off more staff in software, service teams, Electrek reports
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

Friendship ended with Tesla, X is my new best friend.

Sludgehammer, to technology in Logitech Launches An “AI” Mouse That’s Just A 2022 Mouse With A Mappable Button
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

“AI” is to the 2020’s what “Cyber” was to the early 2000’s; something marketing will slap onto any product in an attempt to make it seem more high tech

Sludgehammer, to world in Israel tells Hamas to accept ceasefire terms or risk new onslaught ‘in near future’
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

“Country threatens to kill civilians unless terrorists do as they say” Yeah, I’d say that’s not gonna work, but the whole point of this ultimatum is to justify the slaughter of Palestinians.

In the long run it’ll probably work out for Hamas too. Watching friends and family get murdered will probably radicalize a lot of folks and drive up recruitment.

Sludgehammer, to news in Ron DeSantis bans 'global elite' lab-grown meat
@Sludgehammer@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty much all of the comments I’ve seen on Lemmy about a TikTok ban have been about how it’s political theater and would ultimately be pointless in preventing data harvesting.
