WWE inks $5B deal with Netflix for 'Raw' starting in '25

https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2024/01/23/wwe-raw-inks-10-year-deal-with-netflix

Zarxrax,

Does this mean it will be commercial free?

Zarxrax,

Wow this is huge. They open the door, and others might follow.

Zarxrax,

That was a nasty landing for Austin Theory. Hope he isn’t seriously injured…

First MagLev cube?

I was wondering earlier today what were the first cubes to achieve some milestones, such as the Guhong with torpedoes and such. After a quick search, it appears to me that the first cube to implement MagLev as the default was the MoYu Weilong WR M 2021, but I couldn’t find any authoritative source on that, so I’m just left...

Zarxrax,

I don’t know about maglev, but when I got started, the cubes were just known by letters. I believe the first ones that I bought were Type A-3, Type C, and Type F.

Zarxrax,

Yeah, you could adjust tension on them and everything. I really liked the Type-f at the time because it felt really buttery smooth. When the guhong came out, that really ushered in a new era, because it was miles ahead of the older ones.

Zarxrax,

I mean, they would have started appearing in there from the first moment that someone created one and hosted it somewhere, no? So it’s already been a thing for a couple years now, I believe.

Which of the U.S. national parks in this image do you think is the most worth visiting? There are three exceptions. (lemmy.world)

We’re talking about a vacation this summer so we can plan ahead. My mother (who will pay for it) said she’d love to go to Yellowstone, but it looks like it’s about a 24-hour drive for us. Still, I like the idea of going to a national park. We’re in Indiana, so this image shows about the limits of where we’re willing to...

Zarxrax,

It’s the most visited because everyone who needs to drive through that area is visiting it.

Zarxrax,

I’m not quite sure what purpose lives still serve either, I wonder why they left those in.

Zarxrax,

They could just make them another collectable, have 100 per level for players to find. Or use them as a currency to buy items or other perks.

Zarxrax,

I don’t believe I played it, but I remember that box art. They probably had it on the shelves of my local blockbuster video. I think it might have also been a cover feature in Nintendo power.

Zarxrax,

Several years back I watched a Japanese film called Fish Story. It’s a pretty weird movie, and the first time I watched it, I hated it, and almost turned it off. It was just kind of boring, and it was really confusing because it kept jumping between different stories, and it was not in chronological order. Then, right at the very end, a short segment tied everything together so incredibly. It blew my mind and I immediately wanted to watch the movie again. I have never experienced anything like that before or since. I don’t know anyone else who’s ever heard of this movie.

Zarxrax,

Wow, this looks amazing!

Zarxrax,

Here is a simple video that breaks down how neurons work in machine learning. It can give you an idea about how this works and why it would be so difficult for a human to reverse engineer. youtu.be/aircAruvnKk?si=RpX2ZVYeW6HV7dHv

They provide a simple example with a few thousand neurons, and even then, we can’t easily tell what the network is doing, because the neurons do not produce any traditional computer code with logic that can be followed. They are just a collection of weights and biases (a bunch of numbers) which transform the input in a some way that the computer decided that it can arrive at the solution. GPT4 contains well over a trillion neurons, for comparison.

Zarxrax,

It’s nearly limitless because they used nearly 200 lasers. If they built a new one with the full 200 lasers, who knows what could happen.

Zarxrax,

While I get what you are saying, it’s pretty clear that what he was saying was that if you actually populate the dataset by downloading the images contained in the links (which anyone who is actually using the dataset to train a model would need to do), then you have inadvertantly downloaded illegal images.

It is mentioned repeatedly in the article that the dataset itself is simply a list of urls to the images.

Zarxrax,

Yeah, looked like asuka completely missed catching her. I’m guessing one of them were in the wrong position.

Zarxrax,

I recently watched the documentary about al snow’s wrestling promotion, so it was fun to see this.

Zarxrax,

I simply don’t understand what this fediverser thing is supposed to accomplish.

So apparently it is “eventually” supposed to let Reddit and Lemmy users interact with each other. And this will somehow cause people to join Lemmy? If someone is a reddit user, posting in Reddit where 99% of the community is, and they happen to see a comment from Lemmy, why would they even care? Why would they leave their community with 99% of the people to move to a smaller inactive community that only has any action at all due to copying content from the site that they are already on? It doesn’t make any sense!

And if that sad state of affairs is the eventual goal for the project, what is it accomplishing right now, other than annoying people with bot spam? If you want to read Reddit threads, go read Reddit. There is no reason to spam your personal reddit rss feed to the world. And what is even the purpose for it creating user accounts, which is basically impersonating people?

I think it basically boils down to 1 question. Is it currently accomplishing its goal of bringing actual new users to Lemmy, in any measurable way. If that answer is anything other than “yes”, then why is it enabled in the first place? If that answer is “yes”, then there are still a whole host of reasons why that might not be a good thing.

Zarxrax,

No one is moving to Firefox, because most people don’t care. Just like people stay on Reddit or X, they are going to stay on chrome. Google will feed them shit and they’ll ask for more.

All we can do is worry about ourselves and keep trying to make alternatives viable.

Zarxrax,

So is this just a new stable diffusion gui? Any notable features, or does it just work the same as all the other ones?

Zarxrax,

No shit that using your PC for any purpose will consume electricity. A modern GPU can generate an image in a couple of seconds. Or I could just play a video game for an hour, and consume a few thousand times more energy

Zarxrax,

Rejecting evidence that is right in front of our eyes because of some kind of religious faith or political beliefs.

Zarxrax,

Saw a clip of someone working with it on an rtx 3090. Image was updating multiple times per second, and looked pretty good quality.

Zarxrax,

Love the puzzles and gameplay, but the games always have this boring and dreary feeling to them, in my opinion. Like the music and the colors just make me feel depressed just looking at it. Anyone else get that impression from the Layton games?

Zarxrax,

Good to see some new content, the online modes have been kinda dead recently.
