pixxelkick,

I mean, that’s just how it has always worked, this isn’t actually special to AI.

Tom Hanks does the voice for Woody in Toy Story movies, but, his brother Jim Hanks has a very similar voice, but since he isnt Tom Hanks he commands a lower salary.

So many video games and whatnot use Jim’s voice for Woody instead to save a bunch of money, and/or because Tom is typically busy filming movies.

This isn’t an abnormal situation, voice actors constantly have “sound alikes” that impersonate them and get paid literally because they sound similar.

OpenAI clearly did this.

It’s hilarious because normally fans are foaming at the mouth if a studio hires a new actor and they sound even a little bit different than the prior actor, and no one bats an eye at studios efforts to try really hard to find a new actor that sounds as close as possible.

Scarlett declined the offer and now she’s malding that OpenAI went and found some other woman who sounds similar.

Thems the breaks, that’s an incredibly common thing that happens in voice acting across the board in video games, tv shows, movies, you name it.

OpenAI almost certainly would have won the court case if they were able to produce who they actually hired and said person could demo that their voice sounds the same as Gippity’s.

If they did that, Scarlett wouldn’t have a leg to stand on in court, she cant sue someone for having a similar voice to her, lol.

pixxelkick,

There’s basically no reason to keep using windows.

Debian or Linux Mint are both easy to install, work out of the box, and the only thing that might take a smidge of effort is the 3 commands you gotta run to install gpu drivers.

Steam proton works incredibly well. I ran my entire steam library (most of which were “windows only” games) and even single one worked with proton as is without issues.

I’ve been using steam link from my debian box for months now and it’s smooth as butter.

None of this stops the risk of fire.

Once a fire starts, the printer turning off won’t magically stop the fire from continuing to grow.

Printers can fail in all manner of ways.

Also, you should have a venting solution of printing ASA.

It’s pretty cheap to get a proper fire resistant heat cover for a printer.

Just get an emergency “space blanket”, they’re often only a couple bucks and quite good, but very fire resistant.

All the electronics inside are very much capable of combustion.

Your power supply inside the printer body for example can very much fail and burst into flames.

And tbh it’s not that uncommon for that to happen with 3d printers. They’re often made with very cheap parts and prone to cheap work on the inside bits.

Add on how much of a high wattage load they meed to handle for extended periods of time and yeah, sometimes the inner wiring bursts into flames and the whole thing goes up.

I always recommend keeping a cheap lil smoke alarm directly overhead any 3d printer, seriously. Those fuckers can very much spontaneously burst into flames lol

In terms of the erosion, doesn’t wind erosion on raised surfaces behave very similar to how water erosion on shores behaves?

Since both are just fluids brushing up against surfaces, and the fact in the desert the wind will have a lot of silica dust in it, it stands to reason the wind currents around the pyramid would have very similar erosion patterns to water on a shore.

Fluids are fluids, air doesn’t behave to dissimilar from the ocean, and wind is not to dissimilar from water currents in terms of the physics.

Silica dust will kick up off the nearby dunes, carry in the wind, but due to its weight it’ll be less likely to erode higher elevations. So the tip top of the pyramid is high enough up sand in the wind won’t reach it as easily so it erodes way slower.

Much akin to how waves crash on a coastline, water has weight so the higher an elevation is, the less and less sea spray it gets hit by, so it erodes slower.

pixxelkick,

Also even going with the flood theory, pretty sure Egypt comes after Noah even in the Bible itself >_>;

The world did flood when humans were around (most cultures have great flood stories from ancient times), but that was way way before Egypt.

Amusingly iirc the Nile nearby however is a great example of proof the earth once was covered in ice the melted and flood, as I believe it’s a giant striation or whatever the term is, huge gouge left behind by receding ice, no?

That’s why it’s so big and runs so far, it’s ancient from countless years of erosion and meandering after being carved out during the ice age.

pixxelkick,

Well tbh Quests dont really bug you much about anything FB related. After you setup the account the only thing you deal with is the initial menu starts opened to the app store with suggestions based on what you already bought.

But that initial menu let’s you also set quick access buttons for your favorite apps.

So it’s only a single click to go from “put on headsst” to “open thing I want” usually.

It’s not any different from steam starting you out in the store tbh, I can accept that level of advertising as it’s pretty transparent and half the time it has something of interest for me anyways.

It’s about as big of a deal as a gift shop at a museum.

Uh… Sumarian texts talk about giants a few times, and they are depicted often in their glyphs and whatnot.

The Anunnaki are pretty much always depicted as much larger than humans and godlike. Their texts describe them in detail.

It’s literally been translated down all the way to the king James Bible (these ancient texts are the baseline for Abrahamic religions, IE dead sea scrolls):

Genesis 6:1[4]

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

This is pretty well known that abrahamic religions truly believed giants used to roam the earth. It’s not weird for old glyphs on walls of the very stories of those same religions to depict giants considering their religion talks about em a few times lol.

Literally just Google up on the Anunnaki, there’s lots of info on it.

PS, you way wanna take a second look at that picture, and take note of the fact the giants are being depicted literally as tall as trees are, which were included for scale likely on purpose

pixxelkick,

Why? Babalonian texts literally talk about giants and describe them this way. It’s not a hot take to say that these people had legends and stories of giants lol.

It’s in their texts. Multiple times. And they literally had a word for then.

pixxelkick,

Yeah its wild how people think that glyph depictions of legends on a wall (and people looking at that and going “Ah yeah, this is depicting a scene from their legends we have text versions of too”), somehow think we’re arguing giants were real.

To that I just will say that it’s likely “giants” legends were just born through the simple fact way back in the day, people were a lot less homogenous and that people’s height had a lot more variation, due to how secular living was (instead of taking a plane to the other side of the world in a single sitting, you would take multiple days just to go 1 village over)

As a result you had a lot less genetic “sameishness”, so you likely had some areas where people were a lot shorter, and then other areas where people were taller. In particular colder climates had shorter people, and hotter taller.

Due to people’s nomadic natures, it’s pretty likely most legends of both “wee folk” and “giants” were just tall as fuck people from country A meeting up with short as fuck people from country B.

We literally, right now, have humans who you can put em side by side and person A is over twice the height of person B.

So yeah, it’s not hard to imagine if you had a whole family of tall ass people meet up with a family of short ass people, you’ll get through word of mouth (and a bit of story telling), you’ll get legends of “giant” folk.

In particular the folk of europe, especially vikings who travelled quite far and wide, had some pretty fuckin huge populations in terms of height.

And inversely we also had a fair number of fairly short and stout folk from other countries in the middle east.

If one were to meet the other, I mean, it’s not hard to see where the legends would get spun from, lol

First case of highly pathogenic avian influenza transmitted from cow to human confirmed (www.sciencedaily.com)

In March a farm worker who reported no contact with sick or dead birds, but who was in contact with dairy cattle, began showing symptoms in the eye and samples were collected by the regional health department to test for potential influenza A. Experts have now confirmed the first case of highly pathogenic avian influenza...

pixxelkick,

On the plus side we already have a vaccine for this one, and we have a known medical treatment for it that should work well.

It sucks but this was one we were actually preparing for and expecting to eventually happen.

Unfortunately this is false. They’ve tested this and monkeys establish captilasm extremely fast when they come to understand currency as a concept.

www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/503550

They would exchange the currency, steal it, gamble with it, purchase with it, and even do some prostitution for it.

Edit: To people responding that this isnt capitalism, it actually is, in this case the privatized controller of wealth were the researchers distributing “payment” to the monkeys at a fixed rate, as well as having experiments where the monkeys had to pull levers before they would receive rewards either to themselves or later, altruistically to other monkeys.

You would know that if you took the time to read up on the study before responding…

'Your Name' Movie Producer Confesses To Have Paid Over 20 Underage Girls For Sexual Favors - Animehunch (animehunch.com)

The Wakayama Prefectural Police revealed on May 8, 2024 that Your Name. movie producer Koichiro Itou has been referred to prosecutors for additional violation of Child Prostitution & Pornography law in Japan, after it came to light that he had paid an underage girl for sexual intercourse....

pixxelkick,

Also, often the art itself suddenly changes before your eyes when you review it with a new eye for who the artist has revealed themself to be.

Like the fact the only asian person in the entire set of books is a girl to serve as plot fodder named “Cho”

Or the fact that there’s like 2 times that a girl gets specifically assaulted by a masculine representing figure in a girls bathroom while alone. (Troll attacking Hermione in book 1, and Myrtle by Riddle+Snake in book 2), its one of those “If I had a nickel everytime that happened, Id have 2 nickels, which isnt a lot but its weird that it happened twice” sort of dealios.

The list goes on and on, theres a lot to pick apart in the books if you go back and re-read them. There’s a lot of stuff that makes you pause and go “hmm, what?”

Like perhaps the “goblins” with pointy ears, sharp teeth, glasses, short statures, who strictly only show up working at the one big bank, and are commented on about hoarding money and acting greedy…

(Basically a play by play classic set of caricatures of jewish people the nazi party used constantly to dehumanize them… >_>;)

pixxelkick,

The one thing that sucks is this doesn’t cover gear stored in the extra mog… whatever it was called storage you could pay extra for.

And you can’t pay just for that inventory, you have to pay for your account before you can pay to enable the storage.

And finally, if you had important shit stored in those bonus inventories, you can’t access it til you pay for it

Result: players that prior paid for and used the extra inventories basically can’t leverage the free login, they can login but can’t access their stuff unless they opt out of the free login and fully pay for the month + inventories…

RIP

pixxelkick,

It’s a musical, the songs are catchy.

However I disliked how fast paced the writing was, and how even though it’s called “Hazbin Hotel” and the pilot framed it as a sort of slice of life “bunch weirdos” hanging out and getting redemption, instead that weirdly became the B plot?

Somehow they took the whole story and shifted it over to the B plot and pulled this other big high stakes thing out as the A plot.

That’s not really what I was wanting to watch, and it feels a bit like they hit swapped out the story on me, so I kinda got a bit turned off by that.

I don’t give a shit about some high stakes angels vs demons war end game shit.

I wanted to see interpersonal relationships of weirdos learning to co-exist.

Tl;dr: I was expecting something closer to The Good Place, but instead that got side lined by some huge MCU style plot no one asked for.

pixxelkick,

The fact that they prioritized Helluva Boss (which does follow that type of storyline), on their own YouTube (which they have control over), whereas Hazbin was put onto Amazon Prime with only 8 episodes honestly is what I think caused it.

My gut instinct was to assume they had to agree to certain conditions to get onto Amazon Prime and the money from that is what got us Helluva Boss (which if you haven’t watched that, it’s so fuckin good)

pixxelkick,

Yeah in fact you’re giving the llm additional data to train on what poisoned data looks like so it can avoid it better, as they can clear see the before vs after

pixxelkick,

Nah it’s actually pretty obvious if you know where to look.

Watch the "person"s teeth as they talk. Warning: it actually can be kinda gross once you are watching for it.

pixxelkick,

Who tabled this bill, and who is supporting it?

pixxelkick,

… no? I was asking a serious question.

pixxelkick,

Bruh did you read the article at all? Nothing you talked about has anything to do with what this AI is for.

pixxelkick,

This seems like it has pretty powerful potential for space flight.

Being able to aggressively min max packaging materials to secure materials could be critical for reducing payload sizes on shuttles, where every single individual gram counts.

Each kg of packaging is thousands of dollars to get into orbit, so that’s really appealing.

I’d be curious to see if Amazon is also working on box packing algorithms for maximizing fitting n parcels across x delivery trucks.

IE if you have 10,00 boxes to move, what’s the fewest delivery trucks you can fit those boxes into as fast as possible too, which introduces multiple complex concepts. Both packing to maximize space usage and the order you pack it in to minimize armature travel time…

I’d put money down amazon is perfecting this algorithm right now, and has been for awhile.

pixxelkick,

Wonder if the poster took the moment to consider the millions of folks out there who physically can’t have sex anymore due to circumstances outside their control when they wrote this 🤔

To failures in (basically) the exact same location eh? Correlation? I (hope) not! (lemmy.world)

The printer is a Voron 2.4, the extruder is a StealthBurner, and the hot end itself is a Rapido MK1. I’m printing Polymaker ASA on a spool that hasn’t given me any grief thus far (I last printed with it a few days ago) and am slicing with Orca Slicer....

pixxelkick,

Sometimes its a physical issue in your setup.

Double check your cable, double check the carriage, and double check the rails, look for potential obstructions.

I had one print that kept failing in the exact same place each time, couldn’t figure it out, then I watched it live and the dang ribbon itself was physically catching on a specific part of the geometry mid print and then the print would twist a bit, lol.

Something to consider, I’d recommend visually watching that specific layer when it’s coming up to see if you see something happen.

pixxelkick,

I use neorg for neovim, specifically I use:Neorg journal today to open up a daily .Norge file that I maintain notes, todo, etc on.

If I need to leave a note for myself for the future, I create a note for that day ahead of time.
