I’m not really sure how that’s a response to my comment.
Looks like from another response, you moved to Waterfox? You’re still using a fork of Firefox, though your comment made it sound like you moved entirely away from Mozilla (Waterfox still depends on Mozilla developing FF, from my understanding).
Anyway, seems like a good choice at least. Personally, I’m on Zen now. Hopefully we’ll get a real alternative at some point though.
Magic has less staying power than Pokémon.
Nobody even plays the Pokemon TCG. Well, I guess a couple dozen people might, but that’s about it.
The video games are basically the same game repackaged over and over again. No disrespect to people who like Pokemon of course, but the Pokemon Company could do a lot more than they do now. But it has stuck around because people really like the brand for some reason.
MTG, on the other hand, is shitting itself currently, but the core gameplay has evolved over 30+ years into the framework for a very detailed game with countless possible interactions. There are dozens of actively played formats for the game, and despite WOTC’s best attempts, will not be dying anytime soon.
E33 is not even in the same category as those games. To begin with, it’s a single game, not a whole franchise. It seems a bit unfair to compare it to those games in terms of staying power. Regarding gameplay, E33 is far more interesting than Pokemon. It doesn’t have the same depth as MTG or D&D, but MTG’s comprehensive rules is a PDF with around 300 pages, and D&D has entire rulebooks. E33 is far easier for people to learn than those two games as a result.
Chess, uh, is not a very popular game. People play it of course, but it stuck around because of its history. Also, the demographic of people playing video games regularly and classic board games regularly doesn’t have a huge amount of overlap.
Well that’s one way to counter spam mail.
My point was that you can also reduce the overestimation by properly moderating these platforms. If there are fewer (or no) posts containing harmful content, then people will naturally estimate that the percentage is less. Plus, you have less harmful content.
The main appeal of the LCD one was you could get the cheapest Steam Deck, then swap out the hard drive for a 1TB+ drive. The total cost was super cheap, far less than a Switch 2 anyway.
It sucks to see it gone, but the whole economy around tech is fucked, so I guess it’s another casualty.
Search sucks, so they’re using LLMs?
That really explains a lot about the current state of the world, to be honest.
Well you haven’t exactly specified what browser you’re moving to, so we’re left wondering if you’re using a Servo dev build, a terminal-based browser, or carrier pigeons.
these effects can be mitigated through a targeted educational intervention that corrects this misperception.
Let me make sure I understand this. The solution to “users who post harmful content” on moderated platforms is to educate others that those users are the minority?
Sure, education would be good here, but I’m sure someone out there can think of another solution to this problem.
Even if we assume they want to do discriminatory pricing (they probably do), they can do that without using LLMs. Use facial recognition and other traditional models to predict the person’s demographics and maybe even identify them. If you know who they are, do a lookup for all products they’ve expressed interest in elsewhere (this can be done with either something like a graph DB or via embeddings). Raise the price if they seem likely to purchase it based on the previous criteria. Never lower the price.
That’s a complicated process, but none of that needs an LLM, and they’d be doing a lot of this already if they’re going full big brother price discrimination.
try not to be determined that we’re going to do the wrong thing here.
There’s a lot Mozilla has done right, but there’s a lot they haven’t done right as well. These days, the cynical view has proven itself to be more reliable in general, so it’s hard not to apply it here as well.
That being said, FF has supported AI chatbots for a while and I haven’t seen it come up once in my browser beyond when they said “this is a thing now”. But this has also been a good opportunity to explore alternatives, so I’m trying out Zen now (ff-based still).
We’re postponing the announced billing change for self-hosted GitHub Actions to take time to re-evaluate our approach.
How would age verification even work here? Would it work?
Depends on the exact wording of the law, but an attempt can be made. It would be a horrible waste of everyone’s time as well as require significant time investment from instance admins though.
The whole concept is idiotic, especially since even the most complex age verification schemes can be bypassed by using an adult to verify on behalf of a child (and most can even be bypassed with video game screenshots). You end up with the same system, functionally a checkbox asking if you’re old enough, but with all the added invasiveness and potential risk.
We had a Tacoma growing up and it was honestly a great car. Wasn’t too big to park, could fit a good amount in the bed, and had enough seats for five, though the second row was for the shorter passengers. It’s also still being driven today. We had a small car for commuting as well, and the Tacoma mostly functioned as a second vehicle (for when two people need one, helped when I got a license) plus for whenever we went to Costco.
This. People either want a giant diesel-guzzling truck, or they want a small efficient truck as their second vehicle for moving things around. Nobody’s looking for a giant EV truck, especially at that price.
All they had to do was make an EV Tacoma (size-wise). Instead, they made an EV F-150.
GPA scales make no sense here, but usually the top varies somewhere between 4.0 and 5.0.
At the university I went to, I believe it went to 4.0 with honors, but I only knew one person who got remotely close to that. Honors was a separate process where they make you miserable in your last two years for no discernable benefit.
open to any feedback, always willing to learn
A common pattern with executable Python scripts is to:
!/usr/bin/env python3) to make it easier to execute__name__ == "__main__" before running any of the script so the functions can be imported into another script without running all the code at the bottomand then the company suffered a collapse and everyone got laid off.
This feels like the ending to most stories these days. My friend’s company shoved AI down his throat, and then the company suffered a collapse and everyone got laid off.
This depends on how the tool is used still. For someone seeking a diagnosis, the tool would be incredible. For someone who wants to use it to discriminate, the tool would be terrible.
Like most tools, the tool itself isn’t morally right or wrong. It’s the use of the tool that is.
It also wouldn’t work well because it’s impossible to diagnose someone with Autism solely from their face. They’d have much better luck making a tool for something like Down syndrome, but even still it would be very fallible.
Autism is widely called “invisible” for a reason lol.
Proper multi-level tooltips can do far more to teach the user in 4X and grand strategy games than a chatbot can. It’s pretty much how I learned to play AoW4.
