Wait, maybe I’m not up to speed on the details here. But are you not pointing guns with blanks at people in movies…?

It’s not the entire point of Cinema in that you are simulating, faking, an actual interaction?

douglasg14b, 16 days ago

Do the productions actually have this in place?

I’m curious how you simulate recoil without firing a blank 🤔

douglasg14b, 18 days ago

You just completely switch the argument with a red herring.

It doesn’t matter whether that person is a safe gun owner or not here. And a lost round of ammunition is such an armchair take it makes me question if you should even have an opinion on the subject…

A round of ammunition in your bag should not equate to years of prison, end of story.

I had a box of .22 rounds in my backpack that I was bringing back from the gun store. Lo and behold it was loose, and some had unknowingly fell into my bag. I didn’t notice they were there for years until I did a deep clean of my backpack. No one counts throw-away ammunition.

Yeah, ofc it is.

I’m working in a system that generates 750 MILLION non-debug log messages a day (And this isn’t even as many as others).

Good luck grepping that, or making heads or tails of what you need.

We put a lot of work into making the process of digging through logs easier. The absolute minimum we can do it dump it into elastic so it’s available in Kibana.

Similarly, in a K8 env you need to get logs off of your pods, ASAP, because pods are transient, disposable. There is no guarantee that a particular pod will live long enough to have introspectable logs on that particular instance (of course there is some log aggregation available in your environment that you could grep. But they actually usefulness of it is questionable especially if you don’t know what you need to grep for).

These are dozens, hundreds, more problems that crop up as you scale the number of systems and people working on those systems.

douglasg14b, 17 days ago

Ok…

So your point is that a bad logging implementation is bad. And I agree.

I’m not seeing how that’s extendable to implementations as a whole. You’re conflating your bad experience with "log aggregation is bad’.

Just because your company sucks at this doesn’t mean everyone else’s does.

Why the no?

It’s local only, and actually used to improve the product as opposed to being another shitty chatbot.

This is how it should be done.

Mozilla actually had a project for that: memorycache.ai//

They just suck at naming things, and unfortunately it’s not getting much of the necessary dev time it needs to get out of the POC stage.

The biggest thing I want is local only models that use my activity & browsing history as a way for me to recall or contextualize events and information.

douglasg14b, 19 days ago

Same. I have 5G off because it’s just so bloody slow and unreliable.

Let’s not even talk about the problems where periodically I can’t make any outbound calls and no one can call me. Which has been a problem for at least the last 5 years, for both me and my wife.

douglasg14b, 19 days ago

Oof, this is definitely a:

Every lie incurs a debt to the truth

Sort of thing. It’s not going to be fun when your child understands that there is no school on weekends, you’ll lose a lot of trust overnight with this.

douglasg14b, 19 days ago

Oh look, another “We’re not doing enough” doomsayer dismissing good news because no one else is allowed to celebrate positive things.

douglasg14b, 21 days ago

Oops, that’s deadly, material right here.

I like how they say Taiwan Independence is a dead end.

Taiwan is already independent. China wants to undo that, but they make sure to word it as if Taiwan is a rebelling State instead.

To be fair a security camera would be more like $300-900 and the install, wiring into the freezer…etc would be another $1-2k.

Still not comparable, but that’s definitely not just $100.

As is typical for MAGAs

They hallucinate more than LLMs

How does taxing revenue from digital technology where it’s generated work?

Can you explain what that means for me.

douglasg14b, 21 days ago (edited 21 days ago)

If north America & Australia’s biggest exports start having effect they will be very pro-regulation. Just pro-regulatory-capture.

douglasg14b, 22 days ago (edited 22 days ago)

Yep, and Google does the same shit.

On Pixel phones you have the search bar at the bottom, which you cannot remove, replace, resize, or configure.

In the EU you can configure it to change your default search engine. In North America you cannot, and are forced to use Google.

And on Google forums anyone who complains gets attacked by a wave of simps saying “Then just don’t buy a pixel then, go somewhere else if you don’t like it”.

So tired of this shit.

Afaik the “cat h line” of this is true isn’t it?

I’m going to guess this is a tactic used to push Democrats away from voting by poisoning the well.

Acting like Democrats reaching out in order to spoil the image and make actual communication less effective.

And based on the comments in this thread it obviously works, folks fall for this hook line and sinker.

douglasg14b, 24 days ago

Being a non-voter has always benefited Republicans over the last few decades.

This is why campaigns to suppress and reduce the voting population or the ability for people to vote are so effective for republicans. When you reduce the number of voters Republicans win, there is a bias towards Republicans being more willing to go out and vote and Democrats being less willing to.

douglasg14b, 24 days ago

Mhm, tasty anti intellectualism.

douglasg14b, 24 days ago

Yeah, the post said it right at the end. America.

douglasg14b, 26 days ago

Seriously and it’s a hot topic so it’s going to get this sort of attention.

Let it sit for a while and it’ll become normalized and these sort of antics will die off.

Just let people express themselves as long as it’s not dangerous holy crap.

douglasg14b, 30 days ago

Remember, this is not only the kind of shit that would get proposed but would be the kind of shit that would pass in a future Republican controlled state with Fuhrer Trump at the helm.

It sounds ridiculous and insane now, but remember, there are representatives that actually believe in this, and don’t think it’s rhetoric.

Their voter base as well would happily see “the other” carted off, in good fascist fashion.

douglasg14b, 30 days ago

Can you list some of those, I’m curious.

douglasg14b, 29 days ago

I mean, that’s not surprising though is it? If a FOSS tool I made has an additional feature that requires my own backend to support, then there has to be a backend to support it.

The FE that uses it is still FOSS, and one could always build their own API to the specs outlined by the client.

They could OSS their server side code ofc, that’d be cool. But that also takes sometimes double the effort to do well, and keep custom tweaks and changes either separate and proprietary, or build out a complex way for them to be dynamically injected. So I don’t really blame them on that one tbh.
