Surplus wind power hoists 35-ton blocks cast from recycled concrete and industrial aggregate toward the top.
Using recycled concrete seems be a solid mitigation for the environmental concern. The world’s got no shortage of scrap concrete.
Because Windows 11 will never touch hardware I own. I’ve been using it at work for several years, I’ve experienced first-hand their utter disdain for users, and privacy.
There’s a variety of reasons, but the biggest is that Lemmy as a whole is FAR more class-conscious than the average populace, or even that average internet user, and generative AI has been developed by the wealthy and powerful, as a tool to oppress everyone else.
Machine learning in medicine and healthcare has been around for decades, and has basically nothing to do with the LLM and image generation garbage that has now colloquially become known as “AI”.
Half the problem with “AI hate” is how goddamned nebulous of a term it’s become. When people say they hate AI, they’re almost certainly talking about specifically all the new generative commercialized stuff from just the past few years, but so many people hear that and assume something a LOT broader.
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
Yup. I had this exact thought YESTERDAY, when I did a search for the name of a GitHub project I needed to read up on (I forget which project), with a couple keywords, and the GitHub page wasn’t even IN the top results. Later, I was doing a search for a quoted phrase, which of course is supposed to guarantee that the phrase appears, verbatim, in the results, and found that NONE of the results contained that phrase.
And no, I wasn’t looking at the AI results, I’ve got those removed with a plugin.
Not really, no. There’s a LOT of gripes with what we colloquially call “Generative AI”, and almost none of them are applicable to CGI. To name some of the most significant ones…
I dunno if I’d call it Linux friendly. It runs under Proton moderately well, but it feels like it’s still not quite as good as it was on Windows. And there’s no official support.
Factorio.
Do you think that
these CBSemployees should unionize and go on strike?
Yes.
We talking about the one that says the President can’t be prosecuted for official acts?
The thing most people miss about that decision is that it’s not a power grant to the Presidency. It’s a power grab by the Supreme Court. They conveniently don’t define what counts as an “official act” that the President can’t be prosecuted for, so that whenever it comes up again, we just end up right back at the Supreme Court for them to decide what’s “official” and what isn’t. And we know their game plan on that kinda thing, from everything else in the past decade, they’ll pull a bunch of old nonsense out of their ass to rule whichever way they please, and then say at the and “this decision is a unique outcome of unique circumstances” or whatever, so they’re free to rule completely differently next time.
The charitable interpretation of the ruling is “the way to get a President to stop doing bad shit is for Congress to impeach them” so in theory, that’s still a check on Presidental power, but we all know how much Congress is loathe to use any amount of power to do anything, what little they haven’t abdicated already.
Unfortunately, I don’t see Linux ever gaining widespread adoption. Not for general desktop use.
In order for that to happen, Linux would have to gain enough market share to actually be a threat to Microsoft’s business, and when that happens, Microsoft is going to respond one of two ways: actually making their products more appealing, and regain their lost share, or (far more likely) REALLY ramp up their efforts to suppress Linux’s growth. And I don’t think Linux has the strength to withstand the full weight of Microsoft’s legal and financial power.
Soy sauce in lieu of salt, for pretty much anything liquidy. Gravy, soup, pasta sauce, what have you.
The brutal reality check seemingly hasn’t put Peretti off from pursuing AI, though. He now says he’s hoping to bring “new AI apps to the market” this year.
No, that’s the “responsibility” part.
Generally, I think it’s hubris for someone to think they can educate their kids better than a professional that’s trained for half-a-decade or more. And the most-common fear, that schools are “indoctrinating” kids, is easily countered: just be fucking involved in their lives.
That being said, the real world is always more compicated than theory. Parents should have a right to choose this path, coupled with a responsibility to adhere to the same educational standards as professionals.
Basically anything by Ado. This one’s probably my favorite.
Tell you what, I’ll just link a couple of recent posts/comments from elsewhere:
Vast improvements. No regrets. Still working through a few growing pains, though.
Even under the umbrella of downs syndrome being the only reason, I think there’s variability. “I won’t be able to take care of this child” is quite different from “This child has an undesirable trait.”
