Based on having had to read that comment I would say we’re already in the bad place

Pack a bomb??

I’m worried about them randomly selecting my bag for drug inspection or the bag being tagged in the X-ray… And the TSA agents judging my bag packing method and skills

ChatGPT can be super useful, but I’m kind of worried about people learning to use it exclusively.

I tried helping a PhD student assemble a set up for measuring transistors. He used ChatGPT to do all the code for the software control (python), which is fine, even if he relied on it to fix every single part of his code when a quick trip to the reference manuals of the equipments would solve the problem instantly.

At a certain point I realized I maybe had misunderstood his set up design and asked him “wait, which device do you want to connect to your gate? Which terminal even is the gate?”

And I kid you not, the dude asked ChatGPT which terminal in his device was the gate

(he also reeked of weed so there’s that)

I’ve always said that the worst thing that 9 did was completely destroy any excitement for Star Wars in an instant.

Prior to 9 releasing, people didn’t like 8 and were already souring on 7, but there was still discourse, people caught up on Star Wars news, people were excited for the new content.

After 9, the excitement dropped like a brick. It was the closure of a trilogy in one of the most profitable IPs in the world. There was still more content planned to come out soon iirc (the shows, and I think there was talk of more movies), so it’s not like people stopped caring due to the lack of content. Nobody I knew was interested in discussing fan theories or analyzing the movies (except to rag on them, I suppose). It was as if millions of voices cried out in terror… And were suddenly silenced.

That’s amazing!

Now give me a tip to prevent myself from opening the same app immediately after hahaha

Lmao if you’re still expecting Spargedoheim to survive you’re not watching the same show as us. I learned my lesson really quick after the Beige Baby Shower episode…

AI will start hiding penises in its output, everybody loves it, you ushered in a new era of peace and prosperity worldwide, all peoples united by their love for hidden AI genitalia. Well done!

Play again?

I would campaign for fifteen dollars to be written as 15$. The other way around makes no sense. Dollars is the unit, and you say “fifteen dollars” and not “dollars fifteen”. That we landed on the backwards convention is a travesty.

Sure, 15$ wouldn’t get me far, but it’s a start!

Wait, Reddit is pro-Israel now? I haven’t been there in a while (to be honest, since before this topic escalated) but that surprises me

I’m so glad to hear other people with the same opinion! Everywhere I go I see people complaining about the negativity and toxicity here and I’m like… Where? I’ve had nothing but positive interactions. I’m really happy reddit went through the API fiasco because I’m having a better time here than in late stage reddit.

Ugh, I hate it when I’m just trying to have some casual, fun sex and some no-life loser starts yelling at me that she’s actually Gold 3 at ranked sex in her main account before reporting me for “throwing”

Beep boop. I’m writing this comment because you asked to be updated on my date.

She canceled it :(. She was only here for a few days and ended up not being available to meet with me. It’s ok, I think I read more into it than I should have!

I have a Mastodon account but I’m too socially anxious to actually post there

I’m also too socially anxious to post here but the comment format helps me get over it sometimes

Tl;dr: I asked a girl out :)

I met a girl in a flight and thought we got along well, but she was only in a layover flight while I was in the last flight of my trip. Still, we kept in touch, and she’s apparently coming to my city for a few days in two weeks.

So I did something I had never done before (even though I’ve been in a few relationships before) and asked her out! She said “maybe” (her trip was already planned and she is busy and staying with some friends, she seemed genuinely sorry) so in two weeks I may have a date :)

Clearly you don’t read enough books… Like, bro, she’s clearly absorbing the contents of the book through diffusion. If you don’t know how to do this then you’re clearly not in our league.

To be honest I naively assumed Nintendo not to be the type of company (… Or even competent enough) to implement the type of data mining that would impact performance lol

Sure, this makes sense for Minecraft, and the video itself only compared Minecraft (for fear of being struck by the Nintendo Ninjas, which is an interesting fear considering everything else in the video). I’d love to see if other games, like BoTW or Pokémon S/V, have similar performance enhancements.

Ah, yes, this makes a lot of sense and is something I had not considered. Great point.

That’s so weird. This isn’t about Nintendo hardware sucking: it’s running on an actual Nintendo Switch, except instead of it using the Switch’s OS and it running the game, it goes Linux -> Emulator (yuzu) -> game (running from an actual cart through a dumper) and somehow that’s faster.

It’s a software issue.

Is it the Nintendo Switch OS which is needlessly bloated? It does nothing, how can it be heavier than an actual Linux Distribution?

I’m not familiar with how the Switch works, but the dumper has a FPGA for decoding the cartridge. Is this something that the Switch has to do in real time in software, and maybe that’s where the performance loss comes from? It seems unlikely but I know nothing of the Switch’s internals or software. In fact let’s just say I know nothing at all, I’m just an idiot.

PS: Everyone who buys used Switch games should see this until the end. The dumper allows you to extract a certificate file from a cartridge. Basically, someone malicious could buy a new game, dump it including the certificate file, clone it, and resell the game. Then they would be able to play online with it. If you buy the original copy afterwards and play online, you are likely going to be the one whose certificate is flagged as fake, leading to you being banned.

Also, they could just sell multiple copies of cloned games and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference… Except for the certificate, which would be the same and would signal Nintendo that you (and like 10 other people) are playing a fake game, unbeknownst to you.
