I find it really strange they don’t mention the zoom magnification.

It was necessary because a group of billionaires (Joyce Foundation) decided they were going to do a run around congress and engage in lawfare for their goals.

It’s nonsense to pretend it came out of no where for no reason.

Is Gmail used for anything else? Lots, right?

Now, what about A/I group? Ah… well, there is your answer.

SV_BubbleTime··on A/I shuts down
No other industry needed that law. The PLCAA was put in place in 2005 because anti-gun specifically devised a plan to sue gun makers in lieu of any success in changing gun laws.

It is absolute nonsense to ignore why the law exists while you complain about it existing.

Remember AMP?

Baby steps and they’ll try again.

It’s not a tax on the gun though. It’s a tax to exercise the right, identical to the poll tax.

That’s harder hitting psychology in comedy than I’ve ever seen an example of the other way.

I would think a Meta Executive who was into torrenting would know they likely had enough to lose to use something other than their home IP address.

Agreed, but I like that the “requiring ID is racist but only in the USA” crowd doesn’t like the direct relation.

So… requiring an ID to buy a gun is also an unconstitutional tax on a right?
SV_BubbleTime··on O&O ShutUp10 – The antispy tool for Windows 10 and 11
The “million eyes” argument has massive exceptions, among the top of my head is OpenSSL’s HeartBleed, a critical and extremely popular security suite that had a simple overflow issue for a decade or longer.

People don’t read the source. And chief among them, statistically, is you.

Open Source is ideal but not a deal breaker.

>when this alcoholic is the only one that works properly for the sort of audio and 3D/VFX work

I mean, that seems universally truer than not.

If you’re talking some nonsense, silly singularity… than whatever, don’t care.

But if you’re asking when a model has a sustainable general intelligence, for me, it’s pretty easy…

When it makes financial sense to run it 24 hours a day.

I’m a firm believer in pelicanmaxxing.

They’re all so close in proportions.

So…

Words out of a magic box on a computer can’t make you kill yourself. Perhaps the people that would use that as encouragement are already mentally ill enough that it really doesn’t matter what the trigger is?

On a more callus but fully serious note, evolution starts out physical, that the species that don’t eat and breed as well, die. What happens when you remove that? When life is so safe that you basically wont stave, get eaten, catch a disease, don’t really need to compete all that hard for scarce resources, etc? Do you think evolution just stops? Or perhaps does a social or mental evolution become the predominant differentiator for successful reproduction over time?

Had the Millennium. Wanted the Riva TNT. I had also file-deleted both of those from my brain.

Come on Nancy... Let's just end this please.

... Yep, I feel that.

I have interacted with Claude and realized that we were probably both thinking that. Both convinced synchronously that the other is an absolute moron.

lol, don’t worry about asking someone if they’re addicted to some bug pharma product… they’ll be right along to defend it!

Typo… but it felt like nearly 29.

I remember trying again with Ibex and nearly rage quitting X11 config. Glad all that BS has been worked out.

Love this. That someone is like “yo this was cheap, and windows looks fucked up, but it runs well!”.

It was so brutal in 2006 that it took me nearly 20 years to shrug it off and try again.

I’m not proud of this, but it’s the truth.

SV_BubbleTime··on Doctors are finally learning to manage antidepressant withdrawal
Fair.

But imo the issue with that might be that “just man up and go take a walk” may still be better advice than “hey kid with your underdeveloped brain… take this maybe psychoactive drug that absolutely changes your brain chemistry in ways we absolutely do not understand causing almost certain addiction with effectively zero supervision unless you self-report murderous and psychotic tendencies! Don’t mind that I’m making kickbacks on every subscription!!”

In terms of possible damage to self and others. And to long term society.

SV_BubbleTime··on Doctors are finally learning to manage antidepressant withdrawal
What if the drugs just make us... better?

What if, indeed. You are in a thread that discusses the side effects and addiction.

>Seems to me

Are you a good candidate for a control? Let me ask you seriously… could you stop taking them and function?

“Seems to me” that you are at best a little biased here.

SV_BubbleTime··on Doctors are finally learning to manage antidepressant withdrawal
lol, I know plenty of people offline that are addicted to this shit too. It’s just that this forum and Redditors cheerlead about their addictions willingly. Most people are shyer about it.
SV_BubbleTime··on Doctors are finally learning to manage antidepressant withdrawal
I mean… are you saying this is effectively an SSRI forum?

Actually, you know what? Tracks.

> school crazy

Yep, that’s how I associate SSRIs.

SV_BubbleTime··on Zohran and the Short Link
Don’t take my word for it. You could do even the slightest bit of research about the noble and righteousness of lying under the cover of taqiyya, or, go spend some time in Islamic countries.

I’m sorry, I’m too pro-women’s and gay rights to get mixed up supporting people who want nothing less than those two things. Classic ideologue though, attack the messenger while avoiding the topic as hard as possible.

>Small models are rapidly growing in capability, require less compute to train and serve

Must be very clear that China’s undercut strategy, which is a well-known and studied tactic that they’ve used for a long time, it is absolutely dominating this point.

Right now you can LLM, code, make songs, images, and esp video on gaming hardware in your PC that would’ve been absolutely datacenter shit last year.

So the question will be does the scaling continue to benefit efficiency or ability?

If ability (needs datacenter storage and performance), how much better can the code get? How much more realistic in the images videos get? There are definitely strides to be made everywhere, but man, just like the bottleneck wasn’t coding, I’m not sure the creation bottleneck is rendering.
