There was a paper about this not long ago. The problem is, how LLMs get trained: a right answer gets a point, everything else gets no points. This rewards guessing (produces a point sometimes) over answering “I don’t know/I can’t do this” (produces never a point)

I don’t know if it’s different in the US, but here the downloading isn’t punished, it’s the sharing that gets you in trouble.

“It would get old fast”? Op, I’m afraid you don’t have good friends. When I was a university student, I was in a shared apartment with two friends. It was great: you always had someone to do stuff with and group activities were much easier to schedule.

Now that I’m older it would be nice to easily check who’s up for something, spontaneously grill with everyone or simply sit together in the evening and talk.

My friends group still goes on vacation together from time to time and I love it. If your friends are only enjoyable in small doses… I don’t know… that sounds sad.

Also with a house of your own, everyone would have enough space to retreat if necessary.

Besides from the bad gardening that was mentioned by the other posts, I would love to live like this.

It might be that bad. Most ‘damage’ (as publishers see it) comes from distribution, not the download itself. Depending on how they acquired the books, it might be not be much of a problem.

That’s not Linux, that is Tux… And you might be an open source furry. What are your thoughts about GNUs?

Just waiting for the first decision made because of AI hallucinations.

With this government? You might get disappeared to a black site because a LLM “decided” that you probably are a terrorist…

Oh yeah, I overlooked that detail.

What the hell? If they just asked ChatGPT it would have been much better:

• Repository: A folder of project files on the internet.

• Fork: Your own copy of that folder to make changes.

• Pull Request: A way to ask, “Can my changes go back into the original folder?”

A weapon ❌

Used for thrusting and striking ❌

All programs can be written with on less line of code. All programs have at least one bug.

By the logical consequences of these axioms every program can be reduced to one line of code - that doesn’t work.

One day AI will get there.

It would probably be more impressive if they would feed him not only the left ones.

Bigfoot was just the first Furry in his homemade fur suit.

Obviously. I mean, even when AI could not do fingers (and today they are mostly fine), you could simply recreate the picture until you had something usable.

Having a picture like this and the over the top “negative/positive points” is done deliberately.

And they bought Paintshop pro and destroyed it

How the hell are we supposed to install it without a Internet connection? I worked in a company that was so hard on security that only certified machines were allowed access to the net, so virtual machines were not allowed to access the LAN and therefore the Internet. Generally not a problem as we just used them to test software on different OS versions, so no Internet required.

This change disallows all offline installs. What is their gain? Are they that keen on our data or are they planning to use the connection to a Microsoft account for something even worse than just selling personal information? I could think of a few reasons and none are nice…

Yeah, I’ve got one maybe two of that list. FML

As a child I was watching ANIMALYMPICS I think I probably will recover any day now.

I would love to just use signal and nothing else, but I would loose contact to most of my friends and family.

I tried to convince them, without success.

Well it helps, but if you live under an oligarchy they will find ways to stop uncontrolled social media.

You have to address the root of the problem or you will ultimately fail as soon as you get big enough to be a problem.

Damn, you’re thirsty 😁 But as a chubby guy with a beard I thank you for making my day!
