Israel’s “Special Military Operation”

Even Russia learned their lesson in this part of the world.

What are people doing with these super expensive boards now? Like, I know there’s always the “top 1% first-person-shooter” niche that wants that last sub-millisecond of latency, playing games that don’t really respond to 3D cache, but… what else? That’s not a big niche. Modern CPUs have like no overclocking headroom, and even at stock are pushed way too hard.

I’d only spend that kind of money on an embedded Strix Halo board, or HEDT with tons of PCIe lanes. I just don’t see why you’d shell out for Arrow Lake like that when you can get 95% of the performance for a fraction of the price and power usage elsewhere.

The motherboard doesn’t matter AMD’s 3D cache CPUs, which are king for these kinds of games. From what I’ve seen, you’d be crazy not to get either a 5700X3D or a 7800X3D with a cheap mobo.

No kidding, even inland salt is a menace. That + sand destroys stuff outside.

Florida has the added bonus of being a swampy jungle, which you don’t really understand until you try to live there. Your landscaping, weeds, anything that grows, grows like crazy. Your pets will get all sorts of infections and parasites from the ground, even with all the pesticide they spray through sheer necessity. Mosquitos are even bigger than in Texas, and they never leave. And I saw a big alligator tear up our neighbor’s porch trying to run/hide from us, in a very suburban area.

Good.

All this bill would have done is given OpenAI/Anthropic and such an effective monopoly (and probably destroy the planet with their insane scaling schemes) by destroying the open model ecosystem. I think fediverse vs. corporate social media is a good analogy, and this is kinda like sniping the Fediverse because it’s “too dangerous” if it gets too big, without actually being specific on how to deal with that, but actually sniping it because its a competitive threat.

And yes, OpenAI opposed this, but that was lip service. Don’t believe a word that comes out of Altman’s mouth.

If its our area (Flordia coast)… that’s not a problem.

Buyers don’t care. They don’t know squat about flooding or hurricanes, they just come in from out of state and get dazzled by the realtor and the weather and everything and buy.

Our housing market was so crazy houses were being auctioned left and right. Market value just keeps going up, even on the coast.

TL;DR if the area is superficially attractive enough, home buyers are idiots. I realize this is probably not the case in Georgia mountains, but it his here, and its enabling a vicious cycle where builders keep building homes in obvious flood zones, where they absolutely shouldn’t.

Isn’t that a massive security risk?

Like, what if the U.S was using Roscosmos satellite links in drones? I’d certainly be raising an eyebrow.

Maybe so… but I feel like this is one of the biggest mistakes in the post WWII order. Imagine what things would be like if the UN had more teeth (and no security council)

“You know this war we’re slow-walking? That we keep almost negotiating a ceasefire to? Yeah, let’s keep sabotaging that, and start another war, just in case.”

I also kinda sympathize with American allies looking on from the outside now, as the U.S. is going to no doubt unconditionally support this, because… yeah.

I’m really shocked at how many people (apparently) shell out for onlyfans, subscriptions and such.

I swear, I’m the only sane one, not the only insane one.

Because gun violence is more of a risk than ever.

Honestly I would feel better with the sniper there, so they could stop random nut who shows up with an assault rifle. Which is really sad.

It’s still everywhere in my news/internet diet.

It’s bleeding, for sure, but it’s big. Its gone bad. But I think its premature to say its collapse is a good thing, because it just won’t go away.

It’s not dead though, it’s still linked to everywhere, from big news to niche communities because it still has that critical mass and inertia.

And I have to be cynical of the Fediverse, but realistically, what replaces it, at least here in the US? Discord? No, thanks, I’d at least rather have information be public.

I’m speaking as someone who has never used Twitter, but I can’t ignore it, as much as I’d like to.

The behavior is configurable just like it is on linux, UAC can be set to require a password every time.

But I think its not set this way by default because many users don’t remember their passwords, lol. You think I’m kidding, you should meet my family…

Also, scripts can do plenty without elevation, on linux or Windows.

If they silently ignores this (as they seem to be doing?) it just screams “have your cake and eat it,” in regards to whatever WotC imposed on them.

Technically they did not violate the contract. Maybe.

What? You want us to fix this, WotC? Well, you see, that would be quite expensive…

Futurama had it right, spammers are the ultimate destroyers.

Hmm, what if the shadowbanning is ‘soft’? Like if bot comments are locked at a low negative number and hidden by default, that would take away most exposure but let them keep rambling away.

Top 50% of the population still.

After all, they wrote a review.

Trap them?

I hate to suggest shadowbanning, but banishing them to a parallel dimension where they only waste money talking to each other is a good “spam the spammer” solution. Bonus points if another bot tries to engage with them, lol.

Do these bots check themselves for shadowbanning? I wonder if there’s a way around that…

This. I’m surprised Lemmy hasn’t already done this, as it’s such a huge glaring issue in Reddit (that they don’t care about, because bots are engagement…)
