That’s probably the main reason to reason to ban AI. They want a mostly clean training set and they will probably add their own AI answers to each question as well.

Not with the stuff we currently have.

Image generation is neat. But now there are so many badly generated images out there that any new model likely feeds on shitty data. Also the whole copyright debate for the images used.

LLM are neat. But there is no point in widespread adoption. Any model that is built to generate correct sentences but not correct content kind of wastes a lot of time for the user and nothing else. They are inpressive, they can be fun and sometimes they are really helpful - but you never know whether or not they hallucinate any given information.

Voice and Avatar generation is neat. Like genuinely neat. But you rgey are so easy to use already, you don’t nees that many specialists.

The pandemic. You know, I was casually traveling forward in time, taking it day by day, and then boom: pandemic time. Feels like I accelerated my travel since then.

Even if pretty much all popular languages are based on English, you do not have to learn English first. There aren’t that many keywords to begin with and your variables, functions and comments can be any language you want to. The hard parts of learning a language, like grammar, conjugation, pronunciation etc. all aren’t needed.

That being said, English still is the agreed upon language and people probably won’t contribute much to projects in other languages and you can’t read most documentations.

As always, you guys are way too fixated on size.

Yep, that’s likely the problem with most people. It’s nothing you usually talk about and people won’t change problems they aren’t aware off. We should probably normalize talking about it without anyone being offended.

Yep, discord is an absolute eye sore. You go on any popular server and every major post is covered in animated rainbow barf - or super reactions as they call them.

Haven’t used Matrix, but profile pictures and gif/image reactions are find in chat apps when they are clearly seperated. It’s just a nightmare if you need to navigate through them on your limited screen space like on reddit or lemmy.

I don’t like emojis and never used them on purpose, just a few times before I found a setting to prevent the auto-replacement function in other apps. I kinda prefer pure text, couldn’t tell you why. Maybe because they distract the eye too much. But for the same reason I dislike profile pictures, awards and gif/image reactions.

That’s still pretty hit or miss for me. I’ve watched a video about cats exactly once a few weeks ago when my cat did something strange, and my recommendations are still littered with click-bait videos about certain cat behaviors. I watch tons of the aforementioned hour long analysis videos and I still need to resort to playlists compiling them instead of getting recommendations. To me, it seems the algorithm really wants to push certain types of content and will flood me with them if I so much as hover a video too long. But it really dislikes other types of content and almost hides them on purpose, despite me liking them. My best guess would be that longer videos have less ads per minute of content and are therefore not recommended as much, but I couldn’t tell, I started blocking ads on Youtube when they added a second ad banner back in the day - long before video ads were a thing.

Firefox has an addon called “Hide shorts for youtube”. I don’t use any other browser on any device.

I block shorts on youtube, I don’t care for short form content. Give me those hour long analysis type videos. Without shorts youtube still does a rather poor job at recommending new stuff.

That being said, shorts are being more addictive by nature since the barrier of entry to watch ‘one more’ is so low. If you engage with them on any app, you will waste more time on your phone.

I’d love to take Haskell, but there’s neither enough support nor enough jobs. Same with most functional languages really. But nothing else compares.

Gonna be a long night then if I flip my phone.

Jerboa isn’t even 40% filled in portrait mode.

That’s a fair opinion to have since I believe even Toriyama said as much. However, in the end there is no such thing as a true canon - with the manga, anime and movies there are 3 different canons for Super alone. And personally speaking, they all suck just as much as GT did except for a few of the movies.

GT only has one new transformation and several arcs. In Super, I believe there is no new transformation in the first tournament arc? Unless you count the combination of Kaioken and Blue.

“[year] called” is a common way to mock outdated objects or behaviours. It’s usally followed by “…they want their [mocked thing] back”. In this case, it’s about the clothes of the guy.

The punchline is, instead of mocking him, he’s telling him about a major event of 2001 - the 9/11 terrorist attack. It could imply an actual call through time, but that’s not important. The comic basically just wants to subvert your expectations and drops something dark instead of the usual punchline.

A job well done, it looks way more modern.

It’s funny how ‘getting an abortion’ is the most atheist thing the artist could think of - I believe that’s not even forbidden in the Bible?

'Cause he’ll tend to your bush.
