  • How do stunt people fall down stairs without hurting themselves?

    Jump

  • Not that I am a stunt person, but as far as I know:

    • training (there are ways to fall that are more controlled and less harmful)
    • hidden safety gear (thick clothing, hidden protection)
    • hidden set safety (fake floors that are soft, mattresses that are removed in post, etc)
    • and finally, getting actually hurt, a lot... All stunt people get hurt often, it is an actually dangerous job

  • Credit cards were a terrible mistake. digitizing money is a good idea but how did we go from cash (mostly anonymous and peer to peer) to credit cards (completely centralized, identity based, monetized for-profit platform)

    I hope one day to see governments make a jump to crypto and save us all from this shit (no, not btc or shitcoins)

  • Blue no matter who, right?

  • Two party system is terrible and both options are ridiculously bad, but you are crazy if you think that they are the same.

    Should we break the system and make a new one? Yes. Will you do anything like that? For 99% of people the answer is no.

    So if you are doing nothing to change the system, at the very least you should do what you can within the system (ie voting)

    Anyone who says "both sides are terrible so why bother" but does nothing except online bitching, is just letting the people who are voting decide the future for them. If you are doing nothing to fight the system, at the very least use your rights within the system to choose the least awful option.

  • AI-assisted moderation in the fediverse is happening. Now what?

    Jump

  • Agreed, but also, this is on the open internet, so always assume that all of this data is going to these corporations anyway

  • AI-assisted moderation in the fediverse is happening. Now what?

    Jump

  • Today with models like gemma4, you could literally do this on basically any hardware, but for text moderation ypu don't even need LLMs, we have ML models that do text moderation perfectly fine and run 10x faster

  • AI-assisted moderation in the fediverse is happening. Now what?

    Jump

  • Wthout going into the issue itself, it is such a ridiculous waste to use an llm for something that a far simpler model could do like 100x faster and locally for essentially free...

    Just search for "machine learning text moderation" and you will find all kinds of options. Not to talk about the fact that a simple 4B LLM could do this as well.

    One thing I really hate is how LLMs have completely overshadowed the entire ML/AI field and people just use them for everything.

    Using a trillion parameter LLM model for basic text moderation is like using a gaming rig to play candy crush.

  • What is the difference between a joint, a pipe, a bong, a blunt, or edible ? Besides the way it is smoked or eaten. Is there actually a different type of buzz you get or some can you ten list them?

    Jump

  • Firstly you have 2 different categories: edibles and smoking. These are completely different processes with different chemistry and biology.

    Since there is plenty of good info here, I would only say this:

    The difference between different options in tge same category are just how fast and how efficient they are, that's really it. The speed can make significant differences in feeling but usually all options can be used to get all of the same results, just some are better at one thing while others are better at another.

  • Painful Sideloading

    Jump

  • The classic "you are too dumb to choose" if only education was a thing...

    We are at a time where governments and corporations actively dumb things down until they can make this excuse, instead of actually doing what is right for the people, which is investing in education and treating people as intelligent and autonomous beings.

  • Microsoft Calls 16 GB RAM A Compromise And 32 GB The New “No Worries” Standard

    Jump

  • That's such a funny thing to say when like 90% of personal computers are basically used for browser and office, which both should be able to run perfectly fine on 8gb.

    Windows has been actively going down a ram thirsty route for some time now.

    You can easily have a fast and convinent system with 8gb of ram running most Linux distros with a browser of you choice and LibreOffice.

    My laptop right now is running CacheyOS with KDE with 8 tabs on librewolf (one of which is a playing 1080p video) libreoffice writer and a system monitor, all of this on a 4k screen and everything is snappy. My ram usage? 6.5gb and no swap.

    Windows 11 struggles to run smoothly on 8gb, let alone running multiple programs and videos playing.

    So what the hell are you talking about?

  • Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?

    Jump

  • Vim is worth learning minimally because it is so common, but U am team nano because I have enough info in my brain and I don't edit text files in the terminal enough to make it worth remembering how to properly use vim

  • Microsoft Calls 16 GB RAM A Compromise And 32 GB The New “No Worries” Standard

    Jump

  • I can run a gba emulator, an llm, a full os and a browser all at the same time with 4gb, so I think Windows is the compromise

  • How can we build a mesh network for the internet?

    Jump

  • Not really possible, you could do intranets but once you reach really long ranges (such as overseas, or even large unhabitable areas) any radio solution is going to be either really slow or really unreliable or both (and any physical infrastructure needs an owner to fund it and maintain it, coming back to ISPs)

    Imo, in an ideal situation, the internet should be made of mesh intranets that are about city wide, and ISPs would be the ones connecting between these intranets, keeping the best of both worlds while also supporting and encouraging local services which would provide local economical growth on top of the advantage of federated infrastructure and local privacy laws.

    Imagine every household has a router that instead of connecting to an ISP, is connected to a mesh network with all of the neighbors, and in each neighborhood there would be an ISP router that would act as the gateway to the internet. Anyone can freely join any intranet, while ISP connections would be paid (preferably by some sort of local authority and not per household) and just like today, anyone who has special infra needs can connect directly to the ISP by making an account.

  • I Asked AI to Count My Carbs 27,000 Times. It Couldn’t Give Me the Same Answer Twice.

    Jump

  • The point is that:

    1. It is being used for ut, even though it is obviously not capable of giving a reliable and realistic answer
    2. It allows this usage, even though it is dangerous and not within it's capabilities
    3. Each model gives answers that vary wildly, something that a human wouldn't do. A human wouldn't give you answers that are 10x more for the same question randomly.
