Not an item but I gave my players a talking pig with a Scottish accent. He was also a huge dick. I had stuff planned for it but they killed and ate it.

I feel like they did the equivalent of watching it burn, as the fire department. Gaza was a fire they could have put out, they let it burn. They were making headway on climate change and then promoted fracking at the debate. Biden was clearly going to be a problem but they just let it burn until it was a mess.

We have to be vocal. People want change. We can’t have another election where the dems run on “at least we aren’t pouring gasoline on it like the GOP”.

They don’t need pity, their feelings don’t have to be protected. We can be harsh with them.

If we don’t hold then accountable, they will never change.

The campaign was weak, they waited too long to switch off Biden, they kept the genocide going and didn’t offer any hope.

People that didn’t vote suck but there’s enough blame to go around. We can have an honest discussion on how fucked the dems keep acting now that’s it over.

There’s a difference between not disparaging them before the election and not enabling their behavior after it.

Are you happy? Is the vibe nice? Are people friendly? Are you being paid a fair amount or can you get more at an other job? Do they respect your private life, are they stressing you out? How is the commute?

There are other things to consider then industry best practices. You might very well end up in a place that treats you like shit, is much farther and let’s you go the moment they don’t need you.

I overpressure myself, as if I was constipated, each time I get cravings. I basically make my body as uncomfortable as I can so it learns that cravings=pain.

In the past, I’ve used hand rolled tobacco to ween myself off. It’s a lot harder to just grab a smoke when driving for instance. But cold turkey is best. I usually wait until I get sick before starting stopping since it tends to skip the nasty craving in the first few days. After a week or two, it gets much easier.

Remember, having a smoke every now and then will work until it doesn’t.

Lemmy let’s them respond to you even when blocked. Kind of funny to block someone for harassment and still see a comment removed pop up behind one of my comments a few hours later.

I find it fair in a way, I just wish it hid it from me completely since curiosity usually gets the best out of me. I’ve only had to block one person this whole time anyways, so it’s really not the end of the world either.

Its completely unacceptable from a presidential candidate.

It would be a great idea if added to an app, I just don’t think it belongs in the comment section. It will needlessly bloat the comments for a seriously small minority and be detrimental to the experience.

And lets be honest, its mostly laziness or not knowing how easy it is to use a calendar. The amount of users that can use lemmy but cannot share or copy/paste into a calendar because their brain works different is clearly very low and probably non-existant.

Ask it from the app devs, I’m sure one of them will see the use in it. No need to force it on us.

I always found those bots so obnoxious. You probably have access to 4 different calendars through your apps and devices, we don’t need to be a part of it.

“You don’t belong here Tucker, you have to come back home”

Why use a search engine at all when you can have your browser directly text your mom.

I would say the person doing the crime himself is to blame for his own death. I think there’s a difference between an accomplice and an innocent dying.

But its a fine line, I agree, and also depends on other variables. If I start applying it to other examples:

If you are trespassing in a train tunnel doing graffiti, the train comes and you get out but your buddy gets hit, is it murder? I’d say not really.

If you’re racing and your buddy hits a tree, it’s not really murder either yet he wouldn’t of been racing alone. It’s a two player sport so I’d tend to say guilty.

Would your buddy have stayed home instead of robbing the store if you weren’t there to help him, it’s hard to say but I’d tend to go not guilty.

It also seems a bit vindictive but like I said, I understand the sentiment.

The first one I can kind of agree with tbh.

It’s 400 hours of audio, the transcripts ended up being 5 million words, and only snippets of it are useful.

These important limitations highlight why it’s still important to have humans involved in the analysis process here. The NYT notes that, after querying its LLMs to help identify “topics of interest” and “recurring themes,” its reporters “then manually reviewed each passage and used our own judgment to determine the meaning and relevance of each clip… Every quote and video clip from the meetings in this article was checked against the original recording to ensure it was accurate, correctly represented the speaker’s meaning and fairly represented the context in which it was said.”

It’s literally the paragraph right after.

They verify it.

I was actually thinking of setting up something similar for the mountain of ufo related docs they keep dropping every few months. They tend to use obscure words and even slip in typos so just searching through them doesn’t work very well.

Target demographic: lolicons

publicly-traded German high-performance computing (HPC) firm ParTec AG, whose CEO Bernhard Frohwitter has considerable expertise in patent monetization.

“Patent monetization” is an interesting way to put it.

As a side note, I love how the article is structured.

Whisper has been known to hallucinate during long moments of silence. Most of their examples though are most likely due to bad audio quality.

I use whisper quite a bit and it will fumble a word here or there but never to the extent that is being shown in the article.

You would need a pretty good thickness of water and it becomes complicated shipping it up into space.
