Yes, I know that it still exist, and yes, decentralized currency which utilizes distributed, cryptographic validation is not actually a strictly bad idea, but......
I don't think it's dead, just dormant right now. It kicked up a looot of buzz and got a lot of attention, especially from bad actors and govs. I can see it getting big, again, I just don't know when.
The only real advantage I can see is they would be another mass of users on the fediverse, which is what we want I suppose. I mean I do want it to be populated, and if more people migrate, it ensures survival of their community. I don't like how we have all scattered to the wind, but it's their choice where to go
I didn't know where to post this question, exactly. I bought the wrong brand oils for my air wick aerosol unit; they are much more viscous than what they would normally use. I tried just transferring the oil to the air wick brand cartridges and it works fine for a little while, until the thick oil clogs the aerator. Or whatever...
Cool, thanks for your input. You're right, it may not work, but I'll give it a shot. Otherwise I'll just get rid of them. The original cartridges are definitely a lot more watery; when shaken, the bubbles rise to the surface quickly. In the others, the bubbles stay suspended for a moment and rise slowly.
When I say cartridges, they're those little brown glass jars with the wick coming out the top. They plug into the aeration device and it heats? And sprays it out the top in a mist
Beehaw is for the people who want a safe, friendly place, no one's twisting your arm to be here. People here still have different views and people still argue. It just isn't vitriolic.
I was thinking about this after a discussion at work about large language models (LLMs) - the initial scrape of the internet before Chat GPT become publicly usable was probably the last truly high quality scrape of human-made content any model will get. The second Chat GPT went public, the data pool became tainted with people...
I don't believe this theory 100%, however it is true to some extent. At some point, ai language will plateau out and simply won't get better. Once it's at it's max and has little to learn, they will be so human-like it won't matter if it's learning from itself. The percentage of influence would be so infinitesimal it practically won't matter. At that point it wouldn't be necessary to learn anymore, anyway.
We aren't doomed to write like ai, different themes or stories require different nuances. It's artistic. But it depends on the medium. Sure, resume's, cover letters, memos, emails and whatever may become robotic (aren't they already?) But creative stories won't, to a great extent.
Perhaps I've misunderstood how Lemmy works, but from what I can tell Lemmy is resulting in fragmentation between communities. If I've got this wrong, or browsing Lemmy wrong, please correct me!...
I love black mirror, also. This season was really weak in my opinion. Acting was great and all, but the episodes were just... Bland or missed the mark. The first episode was the most 'black mirrorish'. But my favorite from the season was the astronaut episode. Dumb ending, could have went in a different, more sinister direction without the shock factor
hey everyone. if you want to post links or discuss the Reddit blackout, its aftermath, and what's happening going forward, please localize it to this thread in order to keep things tidy! thanks! we'll see if we need to cycle the thread again before the end of this week, but i don't know that we'll need to
Yes, but if you fire a spez from a canon into the sun, but no one can see him enter the sun, then does he actually get harmed? No one knows, especially if he never returns!
I'm a new user so I my opinion shouldn't weigh as much as regulars, but here it is anyway.
I support this decision. Some people may jump to it being censorship which just is not the case. They have the freedom to go there if they want to. It's like keeping enablers out of alcoholics anonymous. The AA member can go get booze if they want to. But the enabler shouldn't be allowed inside. If they want in, they need to get in like the other members, not just waltz in through the door while on a kick.
I like this place. I currently feel like it's a great place, and the fact you guys make decisions like this reenforces that.
WHAT?! Is this real life?! THE Fable?? Dear Moses I don't know if I can withhold my excitement. Fable 2 was my top, but I liked the first 3. I don't know if I've been this excited about a new video-game since Majora's Mask
This is just me, personally, but I hate Reddits stance on the API situation about AI learning, and how it's not profitable to offer the data for free. Excuse me, the data doesn't even exist without the users. I get we are all data-harvested, but to completely pull the rug like this is unforgivable. I mean the TPA's were the only way I interacted with Reddit. For me, it's not about the ads, the money or anything, it's deliberately killing the TPA to drive their profits up. I mean fuck, I'd pay a subscription to access reddit if it kept TPA open. But nah, gonna act like they earned my data and are entitled to it, no thanks.
This is probably a dumb comment, sorry. I can't word very well and I don't usually get out what's going through my head
I am currently trying to build a search component so users can search for Pokemon (since it is currently paginated with 20 per page.) I'm having some difficulty figuring it out, but I'm making progress....
Thanks a lot for the suggestions! Yes, I agree the performance is pretty bad. The reason is because I'm calling ALL the Pokemon data at the beginning into an array. I will optimize this after I learn more!
I'll work on adding the evolutionary line, that's a good idea.
Currently, you can search by type, but it's not by the full text of the type. I can definitely implement that. I'll add a drop-down menu next to the search field to select search criteria to filter irrelevant results.
Oh, I didn't know this, I appreciate the insight. I have been working with typescript a bit, but sidestepped back to JS for a small project because of familiarity. My next project may be typescript just to get a feel for it.
I have heard a lot of buzz about rust, but I haven't looked it up because I don't want to overwhelm myself with new things. But it does seem very popular. And I doubt there's anyone, even people unfamiliar with code, who hasn't heard of the C family!
I'm not giving up JS, since it is so popular for web development, but it does make me sad that it's so inefficient for other tasks in comparison to the other languages. Butz it also makes me kind of excited to get into some of the meatier stuff
Let's discuss Black Mirror season 6!
