  • Singularity for me but not for thee

    Jump

  • It doesn't read that way to me, but either way my point still stands. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing something you like, and calling that "wasting adulthood" is incredibly fucked up.

    The last line is literally telling people they are terrible for enjoying themselves. There is no excuse for that.

  • Singularity for me but not for thee

    Jump

  • Jesus Christ, this is toxic as fuck. You are not a bad person for enjoying life. You are not a bad person for being happy or seeking happiness. Excessive consumerism isn't great but you are still not a bad person for owning things. You are definitely not a bad person for trying to improve your life or the life of people around you.

    I have no idea why they decided to attack renewable energy, it's undeniably better than the fossil fuel systems it's to replace. They say they're against alternative energy immediately after complaining that a third of the world has no electricity. This doesn't even make sense! They don't want you to make electricity available to people, they just want you to feel bad about it.

    Inequality sucks, but you are still allowed to enjoy things.

    What does make you a bad person is actively seeking to make other people's lives worse. For instance, making a comic with the sole intention of shitting on people just living their lives.

  • Resolved: Was banned for 3 days from News seemingly for no reason, no message, nothing just found it scrolling through the modlog

    Jump

  • That approach seems ineffective to me, you'd end up with situations where every mod wastes time responding to the same thing or where no mod responds at all because they assume someone else will handle it.

    Imo a better starting point is a hidden text post which notifies mods of a community.

  • Influx of 0 Score posts?

    Jump

  • Seems to be a federation issue between programming.dev and lemmy.world, as far as I can tell every lemmy.world post and all comments under them are showing up with 0 score but other instances are fine.

  • But at some point, it’ll either generate original content on its own, or rely on content already created by other AI.

    What you're describing there is called model collapse and it's not a good thing. A generative AI ouroboros accumulates error until its output is useless.

  • This horny waifu game is selling my data for sure

    Jump

  • Good news! You can buy Murder Harem: Furry's Vore Safari Edition (if that's what you're into) on Steam and nobody would ever know as long as you mark it as private while it's in your basket! Assuming it works as they say you'll still be able to play the game as normal but nobody else would know unless they directly log in to your account.

    The faq doesn't mention the new Steam Family stuff though. I'm guessing it'll at least be hidden for parent accounts, but since parent accounts can control game access for child accounts that might not be as private?

  • The Extreme Cost of Training AI Models.

    Jump

  • I did already back up the claim with a source, but okay:

    US: Senior 128k USD, mid-level 94k USDCH: Senior 118k CHF (139k USD), mid-level [95k CHF](https://www.payscale.com/research/CH/Job=Software_Engineer/Salary) (112k USD)DE: Senior 72k EUR (80k USD), mid-level [58k EUR](https://www.payscale.com/research/DE/Job=Software_Engineer/Salary) (65k USD)NL: Senior 69k EUR (77k USD), mid-level [52k EUR](https://www.payscale.com/research/DE/Job=Software_Developer/Salary) (58k USD)

    Yes, US and Switzerland are outliers.

  • The Extreme Cost of Training AI Models.

    Jump

  • 100k USD per engineer assumes they're exclusively hiring from US and Switzerland, that's not a general "developed country" thing. US is an outlier.

  • Suffering

    Jump

  • According to a quick search, the US has the 6th highest incarnation rate per capita but is only 148th lowest in intentional homicide rate. Obviously this is far from conclusive but it suggests there's no strong correlation. There are likely much more significant factors than how prison-happy a country is.

    This isn't exactly an in depth study so I could still be wrong, but it's much more convincing than just some assurance from a random stranger on the internet.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zucchini

    This article is about the vegetable. For other uses, see Zucchini (disambiguation).

    In cookery, it is treated as a vegetable, usually cooked and eaten as an accompaniment or savory dish, though occasionally used in sweeter cooking.

    A 1928 report on vegetables grown in New York State treats 'Zucchini' as one among 60 cultivated varieties of C. pepo.

    In France, zucchini is a key ingredient in ratatouille, a stew of summer vegetable-fruits and vegetables prepared in olive oil and cooked for an extended time over low heat.

    In 2005, a poll of 2,000 people revealed it to be Britain's 10th favorite culinary vegetable.

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vegetable#Terminology

    Posting this link again because you didn't read it.

    Culinary vegetables unarguably exist since we're referring to a physical thing which indisputably exists. I have seen a courgette before, I can confirm vegetables do in fact exist. You're arguing that they don't exist because you disagree with the words used to refer to them, which is also wrong. The fact many people use the culinary definition of vegetable when referring to courgettes means that the culinary definition of vegetable is correct; language is defined by how it's used.

    Vegetables exist. The culinary definition of vegetable also exists. The fact you don't like that definition is irrelevant.

    Jump

  • The first sentence of your article says cryptids aren't real, vegetables do exist and we interact with them every day. I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make. If someone tells you their name is Bob but fails to cite a source that does not mean Bob doesn't exist.

  • I leave on time, how is that an insult? I'd be much more insulted if someone asked me to work for them for free. That's what unpaid overtime is.

  • Tesco loses UK legal battle over plans to ‘fire and rehire’ staff on lower pay

    Jump

  • I think you've misunderstood. They're arguing against the capitalist approach in which there was an attempt to fire and rehire employees to cheat employees and save the company money. The system which prevented the company from doing so was government intervention to protect workers, which is not a capitalist approach.

  • Scammers PANIC After I Hack Their Live CCTV Cameras!

    Jump

  • it’s pretty shady to be looking for legal safe harbor for scammers who rob people all over the world every day.

    This is an argument that happened entirely within your own head, not in this thread. I think I made it clear right from the start I'm against scammers and approve of (ethical) actions taken against them, but I'm also against people who dox, invade privacy, engage in vigilantism, and gain unauthorised access to other's computer systems (particularly when it's for profit and ego). These are not mutually exclusive, there is no disconnect there. I even gave an example of more appropriate actions to take against scammers, notably actions that are actually effective.

    Criticism against "justice" porn is not remotely the same thing as condoning scammers. You're arguing in bad faith and you know it.

  • Scammers PANIC After I Hack Their Live CCTV Cameras!

    Jump

  • This is very untrue and you definitely shouldn't be giving out legal advice like this on topics you're not knowledgeable on, but exactly which part is a crime and how criminal it is will depend on your local laws. Some such computer misuse laws are intentionally written very broadly with generic wording precisely so that edge cases such as unintentionally granting an unauthorised party access to a system does not clear them of wrongdoing when they do so.

    As for how to tell which laws are relevant and whether you've breached them? Well, I'm sure the answer will shock you.

  • TIL about lunch shaming... america are you ok?

    Jump

  • When I was in school the less well-off kids got their lunch free. There was definitely no equivalent to a "marker" the linked article mentions, unless you include the lunch ticket. I was actually kind of jealous at the time, I didn't understand why I had to pay when I didn't bring my own lunch and they didn't.

    Singling out kids because their parents can't afford food is kind of fucked up.

  • Scammers PANIC After I Hack Their Live CCTV Cameras!

    Jump

  • Accessing a system you're not authorised to access, regardless of how that access was obtained, is generally not legal. The way to sort that out is, you guessed it, a trial.
