yuck39··on Nvidia's Chat with RTX is an AI chatbot that runs locally on your PC
Interesting. Since you are running it locally do they still have to put up all the legal guardrails that we see from Chat GPT and the like?
yuck39··on Lubricate Your Keyholes
What are the dangers of graphite lubricant?

I lubricate my keyholes with it but there is always some that gets left on the key, and I tend to fiddle with my keys at my desk sometimes.

Occasionally I’ll get some of the graphite on my hands, or possibly even breathe it in I’m not sure. Should I be more careful with this stuff?

yuck39··on The weirdest bug I've seen yet
Agreed!

I have absolutely no idea how a combination of grammarly and a specific gif would cause a browser crash though…

Anyone here use the grammarly desktop app? Any additional clues?

yuck39··on How Wikipedia became the last good place on the internet
Clearly you haven't seen the entire fediverse. There are tons of "free speech" instances along with a garden variety of other "alt" instances that are as active as the mastodon affiliated ones.

They tend to all be mutually blacklisted by each other, meaning that you won't see their posts appear in your federated timeline, however you can still individually follow and interact with accounts across the blacklist line.

What I personally do is host my own Pleroma instance where I can manually configure which instances I chose to associate with. Sure, I don't show up on anyone else's federated timeline but I mostly lurk anyways so I don't care and I get a large degree of control over what kind of content I see.

yuck39··on Analogue 3D
There has been some criticism of Analogue lately from the retro gaming community [1] for continuing to announce and release new products while they remain months behind on fulfilling orders already placed by customers. The consensus seems to be that their products are good but add 4-6 months to whenever you expect to get your order from them.

yuck39··on Procreate Dreams
Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how is it determining how to color the inverse side of the wings of the butterfly in the animation? Did he keyframe that in and exclude it from the animation?

Or is the app using vision models to infer that he is trying to animate wings specifically and just assume the perspective needed and do the coloring on the opposite side for him?

From a technical standpoint the ladder would be very cool, but I could see how it could be troublesome for artists trying to do "real animation".

yuck39··on Schizophrenia drugs may have been off target for decades, study finds

yuck39··on Are the Americans Awake?
I actually liked the one time zone system in China when I lived there. It made scheduling work across different cities a little more convenient, and I didn't mind that the sunrise/sunset didn't always exactly line up to what I am accustomed to.
yuck39··on Experiencing decreased performance with ChatGPT-4
I had an API integration written to convert an English language security rule into an XML object designed to instruct a remote machine how to comply with the rule programmatically. April 2023 we had about an 86% accept rate, that number has declined to 31% with no changes to the prompt.
yuck39··on Reddit is Fun will shut down on June 30th in response to Reddit API changes
Tildes is quite pleasant from what I've seen, I understand why but the invitation only nature is limiting at the moment. I've yet to be able to register.
yuck39··on Reddit permanently bans account of user advocating Lemmy migration
Exactly. I always thought Mastadon could have been so much more successful if they had just proxied cached versions of the most popular instances through a single larger server.

Sure it would give Mastadon the power to pick and choose who it wants to host, but if you want to go join a different instance you are more than welcome to.

It would just substantially streamline the process for your mainstream user.

yuck39··on Uncensored Models
The fact that we live in a world where lunatics can make this much noise is astounding.

edit: referring to the complainant in the thread linked above.

yuck39··on A cryptocurrency company had a $65M bill, per Datadog’s Q1 earnings call
I would wager you could build something pretty close to what data dog is selling for $65M
yuck39··on ChatGPT Plus
Set this up on my phone without any of the home automation stuff just to have an alternative to Siri. Its pretty good, I wish I could have a back and forth conversation with it but I don't think I can do that inside of a Siri shortcut.
yuck39··on Show HN: ELI5 Powered by GPT-3
ChatGPT is not, GPT-3 is
yuck39··on Forking Chrome to render in a terminal
Install the VIM plugin and we go full circle
yuck39··on Antidepressants are over-prescribed, but genuinely help some patients
As someone taking Lexapro for similar reasons, do you have any plans to taper off of Zoloft? I tried to stop taking it cold turkey once and had wild side effects ranging from fatigue to the inability to keep my balance standing up.

My psych seems to be okay with keeping me on it indefinitely but I'm not sure how long I _should_ be taking this stuff.

yuck39··on Kagi – Paid Search Engine
I beta tested Kagi (free) and was really impressed with the results it would give me. Having to login to a search engine was a bit of a pain, especially with different browser profiles and private mode. I understand that will inherently be a limitation with Kagi.
yuck39··on Stanford's “Elimination of Harmful Language” Initiative
I had never heard of FIRE before, and assumed they were going to rank free speech by prominence of conservative idea representation on campus as most of these types of rankings tend to do.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that was not the case. Schools with high acceptance of conservative speakers trend lower on the list. The highest ranking schools are typically the ones close to the middle. Thanks for sharing.

yuck39··on ElonJet Is Now Suspended
What I don't understand is how we know what jet he is in specifically. Couldn't he just change jets?

If it's public sale records could he not just have someone else title it, or rent a jet? Seems like there are so many more solutions for privacy here.
