efstajas,

It’s been “politicized” pretty much since affordable cars were a thing.

efstajas,

Stop saying Cohen got convicted for the exact same crime! It’s misinformation. They both got a completely different set of counts.

ITT: Cat people getting upset at a dumb joke.

… Classic cat people I guess

efstajas,

Your comment made me realize how we take for granted that everyone at least measures time the same way. Imagine the clusterfuck if there was metric time & imperial time.

efstajas,

Honestly, kind of a blessing. It’s not like you could do much about it if you knew.

You can’t just “update” models to not say a certain thing with pinpoint accuracy like that. Which one of the reasons why it’s so challenging to make AI not misbehave.

efstajas,

I mean, we’re discussing a hypothetical utopia. In this hypothetical, Russia wouldn’t have an army to “roll down over the whole of Europe”.

efstajas,

I made this same decision for myself explicitly just a few days ago. It’s just bad for my mental health to constantly be arguing with people online, especially with how easily online discussions turn sour in tone. It’s so incredibly rare to have an actual fulfilling discussion where both sides are open to having their minds changed, and thus there’s really no point to it.

So glad to see that others are noticing this too… The hive mind effect also feels even stronger than it used to on Reddit, probably because the audience here is less diverse.

Without knowing the data, I’m pretty sure I’m politically and ideologically quite aligned with much of Lemmy’s overall user base. Still, often when I point out misinformation or misconceptions even if they “don’t fit the narrative” of what I broadly believe, I get downvoted without anyone even responding with a counter argument. It’s extra frustrating because I know I probably agree with the opinions of those people downvoting me, it’s just that I believe there’s more nuance to many topics that I would like to discuss, but unfortunately the Lemmy audience acts as if everything is a black & white situation.

efstajas,

I’m so fucking concerned about climate change… But I can’t vote Green because of their stupid, anti-scientific stances on two issues: GMOs and nuclear power. For context, I’m in Germany, where there’s very public hysteria about both. The general public still holds absurdly distorted and misinformed views, so none of the green-aligned parties are ballsy enough to hold positions on them that are in any way nuanced. It’s super frustrating.

efstajas,

Exactly! The fact that we’re shutting down our reactors all the while still burning coal is so backwards.

efstajas,

“Kriminelle Energie”? “Hass”? Ich kann nicht mehr

efstajas,

Ups! Hab da jetzt aus Versehen zwei Mal abgestimmt, hoffe das ist kein Problem

efstajas,

Oh Mann, wie leitend diese Antworten formuliert sind. “Nein, ich will mit meinem Auto weit fahren und auch ankommen.” Als ob das mit einem E-Auto nicht möglich wäre, geschweige denn in 2035.

ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....

efstajas,

Yeah it’s wrong a lot but as a developer, damn it’s useful. I use Gemini for asking questions and Copilot in my IDE personally, and it’s really good at doing mundane text editing bullshit quickly and writing boilerplate, which is a massive time saver. Gemini has at least pointed me in the right direction with quite obscure issues or helped pinpoint the cause of hidden bugs many times. I treat it like an intelligent rubber duck rather than expecting it to just solve everything for me outright.

efstajas,

Hey, at least we can rest easy knowing that human devs will be needed to write regex for quite a while longer.

… Wait, I’m horrible at Regex. Oh well.

Und dabei hat die CDU doch extra nett gefragt, dass jeder bitte nur einmal abstimmt. Hätte echt niemand mit rechnen können, dass sich da keiner dran hält.

efstajas,

Es sind bestimmt wieder diese Linksradikalen!

efstajas,

It’s because we count the 0… no? 0 and 1, base 2. 0123456789, base 10.

efstajas,

You’re vastly overestimating how much the average consumer cares about these things

efstajas,

Tbh the reason for that is probably just that IMDB is wildly more popular

You can turn this feature off without any problems.

efstajas,

Are there actually any documented cases of them just enabling userland features after they’ve been disabled? The only thing I heard of before was registry edits / telemetry changes being undone. Not to say that that’s cool of course, but at least it’s not like it asks you for your privacy settings during startup and then undoes your choices. As far as I know, maybe I’m just out of the loop.

Generally though, what do you think would actually be Microsoft’s motivation to randomly re-enable this particular feature? Do you think that the claim that the data doesn’t leave the device is a lie?

efstajas,

You could store a counter for every machine used on the card, realistically, given few Laundromats would have over 50 or so machines. That’d mean that as you say, restoring the cards initial state would break it for every machine you previously used.

Going way too far now for what would make sense for a Laundromat, but just to entertain the idea…

You could also use an OTP encryption scheme on the card, where the exchange encryption key is based on the laundry machine ID, card ID, and a current timestamp, and thus changes every time the card is used. It would then be quite hard to “restore” the initial state of the card without having the laundry machine’s hidden ID. Everything you read off the card would be useless a second later.
