>I don't consider "pedo boy" to be slander any more than someone in the west calling another a "motherfucker".

'motherfucker' is a common phrase even outside of strictly english - speaking countries , and very few people go on to explain how the person had sex with a mother.

'pedo boy' is impossibly uncommon, regardless of what the singular defending belligerent claims, and furthermore he went on to publicly accuse the person of actual pedophilia.

yeah : i'm sure it didn't fail in court due to unlimited deep pockets and lawyers on retainer.

is there anything beyond willful ignorance ? You and I have had differences of opinion before, but yeesh -- talk about a hill to die on, defending elons' shite behavior during that phase.

is using a prototype firmware or hardware platform faking it when you're showing exclusive prototype capabilities and trying to pass them off as reproducible by the production unit?

unitree has done this consistently.

given that all this gross style media still exists for kids to consume on youtube, is it wrong of me to conclude that the real scandal, and the reason why YT did anything at all, was the misuse of trademarked characters and the legal liability of paying out for creations that infringe?

it's nice to know how to work the thing that fable fails down to when it dislikes your prompt.

and in this argument we pre-suppose that loss of privacy equates to an increase in safety, right?

amazon says the UAE one will take 'several months', I think that's probably a hard thing to guess though.

no, the point is that you'd be in a ceaseless never-ending panic if you cared or related the hobbies of 'some' people to mean anything in real life.

I reject the notion that planes are harder to automate.

but the point they were making is that it inevitably takes less energy to get to a level flying state (in similar weather conditions) due to fuel consumption.

so, unless the pilot is fighting weather it would make sense that equal throttle levels and equal pitch plans in equal weather conditions would require less and less fuel burn until the tanks are empty.

>Contrary to the common myth, thinking hard does not burn significantly more calories. (Demonstration: Start thinking hard, and watch as your heart rate does not increase.)

this is wrong [0] , it's just hard to measure.

yeah, but the reality is that every chat room bot integration is half-assed, and the good integrations force you to use chat rooms/services that are either a nuissance to spin up and join, heavily opinionated, or lack features, or even the most basic security and privacy stances.

there's definitely room for someone to do it right.

i'm skeptical if it'll be dorsey, however.

the most obvious display of risk aversion is the greenlighting and production of "Spiderman 35 Electric Boogaloo" and "Batman # 740 The Dark Knight Re-Rises Again" -- meanwhile indies are still struggling to find first investors or writing money.

as I said in another comment : These large firms do not take risk.

all one has to do is look at movies from indie groups versus conglomerates in order to pick apart every point you made aside from technology investment and movie volume.

your most laughable point is the one about risk : no one takes less risk than a huge conglomerate beholden to a board and shareholders.

real risk in cinema comes the cast and crew that decide to forego dinner in order to get their vision to the screen, and the arts are filled with such passionate examples.

Not everyone wants the 1500th star wars or marvel movie, even the fan bases for those releases are tired.

there's a rare form of that where it goes from( simple -> programming language -> language with DSL support -> simple dsl ) ; emacs has followed this model a bit.

that's a real frustrating form of scrolljacking, a forced timed animation & lockout for concurrent scroll events until the timer is relinquished and input ceases; impressive.

for me it's often codebase decomposition.

it's hard to modularize a monolith without keeping large chunks in context at first pre-delegation; the orchestrator -- however you implement it -- needs to carry as much of the original thing as possible into context and big monoliths make this task heavier.

so, tl;dr : I use a lot of tokens re-writing legacy codebases that were constructed with very little CS training in some huge spaghetti fashion by random people around the world.

>I use GLM5.2 and gpt-5.5 and 5.6 and never noticed any quality degradation near the limits of the context or due to compaction.

that's because you and your workloads probably fall into a bucket of users where compaction is tuned well.

but the reality is that those processes need to pick what to carry over, and that's a tough thing to get right for everyone, so for me compaction is a signal to restart the session or to tell the LLM to reference existing design docs lest we go off the rails.

large context limits is one of the things that make the open model competitors very attractive to me.

we don't have master AI that can create a great product out of a mediocre prompt.

but we do have sufficient AI to make a great product out of a great prompt.

garbage in -> garbage out hasn't gone anywhere.

so: much like to anyone that blindly complains that their compiler hates them : if you actually want help, provide information. If you just want to complain that the compiler is mean, scream at the sky.

plenty of people have figured out how to get this to work; more than enough to confirm that a straight <gambling-machine>/<hallucinatory-psychopath>/<random-number-generator> analogy is too simplistic to explain what we're working with.

it's not as hard as you're making it seem, you just allow for a positive or negative time offset and rely on the devices counting seconds similarly, which is mostly a given now.

I did this with raw footage and a VESC speed controller dump to overlay a bunch of motor stats on a prior project, this was pre-AI and it was still only an afternoon project.

ffmpeg/image-magick do all the real heavy lifting out of the box.

the site almost sells you on a ford maverick

"Wow, the same style engine, a reputable dealership network, a hybrid system with battery, and a turbo charger for only another 7 grand?"

> This article reads like a description of gambling-addiction behavior; the author appears to be addicted to using LLMs.

you're projecting, it's just insanely irritating to work with a tool that 1) limits its' own use 2) with a random interval.

keeping in mind that plenty of people are making money on token use..

this guy sets a timer to wake up for work; he appears to be addicted to work.

why would we assume a corporate entity wouldn't manipulate popularity numbers on an owned and unregulated platform that sells their own goods?

owning 'the list' for a thing makes a company, it's why billboard still has any relevance.

>If it was just recognizing license plates that would be fine.

not really.

I don't want any private entity to catalogue humans identifiably to a population-scale extent.

if we as a collective whole wanted these things around they (Flock) wouldn't have to buy their positions from the regional municipalities.

(token usage) is trending towards predictability for a lot of reasons. it's not deterministic but it's getting easier to reason about usage.

this was released in 1996.

Microsoft was at one of its' most powerful evil phases it had ever seen during that phase, and to pretend it was some kind of antithesis to 'corporate metric please' is a disservice to history.

I liked comic chat , and I see that your actual point is more just "ai bad" , but 88-99 microsoft was brutally corporate metric pleasing.

feels like selling an old bicycle on craigslist with the amount of things you can tag M$ with.

I don't know about the other industries, but within old cycling circles they're also just seen as the group that was first to make good counterfeit goods that were actually high enough quality to use, and their entrance to the market was aided by the fact that existing players, campagnolo and schwinn mostly, were producing junk from junk proprietary alloys in order to compete with 'overseas' components at truly exorbitant costs.

that was 40-50 years ago, so who cares, but Shimano is truly interesting for cultivating so many different opinions.

I think 'enforcement' is wholly outside the ballpark of a memory system.

man it sucks that waveshare doesnt sell a 7 incher w/ integrated esp32 like they do with every single other round display, could've had the whole package ready to go.

it's dead accurate for you because it aligns with your ideas on the subject.

if it had been for defense or some other such thing the media outlet wanted to celebrate it'd have been worded "Our defense apparatus sips only 23% of the country's power!"

tl;dr : accuracy isn't what aligns to personal interests, and journalists who choose to use language like this are (generally speaking) disinterested in accuracy and honesty as top priorities.

it's estimated around 5% of people remained covid-free & vaccine-free. I guess it's an easy guess that they would've caught it, but it's not certain.
