- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 1 week ago:
think there should be a law against blocking password managers for filling in fields.
I’ve never heard of anyone trying to do that. I couldn’t even imagine how a website could detect a password manager.
- Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long 1 week ago:
We have figured out passwords. Management hasn’t figured out allocating resources to security, and governments haven’t figured out fining the crap out of such companies.

1357! is even.

Yep, currently looking for alternatives.

So this is how hydraulic thingies work. I never bothered looking it up.
- Comment on RIP obsolete tech 1 week ago:
Indeed, but I actually like this system: There are no breachable servers between the doctor and the patient, at least a few years ago everyone had a CD drive at home (I know that’s changing), and handing out a disk is way cheaper than a flash drive.

When playing with my friends, we never use the Steam chat. We use Skype.
You can call me Boomer now.

That sounds like slow-ass RAM.

In Germany MRI and CT images are regularly handed to patients on CDS.

The problem is that you have friends. You should put an end to that.
- Comment on This not a Meme but the spectral view of "Barcode Brothers - Tele" a song from 2008, how many DTMF code tones can you find? 2 weeks ago:
All of them.

Once you learn about the ubiquitous neck collar all cartoon characters used to have, you can’t unsee it.

I’m sad that I live in a world where people think they need the word “transvestigate.”
- Comment on Koalas can eat shit 2 weeks ago:
Humans probably do this, we just likely do it during childbirth. You know how women often shit during contractions? There is evidence to suggest that this innoculates a baby with her gut flora. A child born via cesarian has significantly different gut flora for the first six months of life than a child born vaginally.
We also see rabbits eating their own shit to squeeze out some extra nutrients.

If I switch schools, will this still be true?
That speaks to some great injustice inflicted by the school system.

The problem even with that is that an old, standing tree and a young one are very different in their ability to provide the services we seek from them.

For me, it’s the fear of getting caught.
I have got caught in my more vulnerable years. That was not a nice experience.

Gee, what’s the point of re-telling a joke? I can’t possibly tell. 🤦
- Comment on floats away in disgust 4 weeks ago:
I don’t consider the cost of the instrument and my time when considering the money I save on the drink.
But you do consider the cost of training when we’re talking about the AI’s output. That’s the double standard.
Your entire argument stems from the idea that this comic is somehow adding value to the world. […] Nothing of value was created
The comic made me smile. It made my day better because I like the presentation and the style. The post currently has a vote ratio of 266:78. So I’m clearly not the only one enjoying it. I do believe that bringing joy to people adds value.
[T]he “artist” doesn’t even get to have any personal satisfaction because it’s just an algorithm. […] [T]he other “artist” didn’t actually put any effort into it when they just wrote “write a funny comic” into a text field.
I can’t understand why that is a problem. Why are you hurt because a machine cannot get personal satisfaction? Are you mad at an mp3 player because it doesn’t enjoy the music it plays? The point of this comic obviously isn’t to benefit the creator. It’s to enjoy the reader.
If you insist on drawing parallels to a human artist: Do you think everyone enjoys creating every single piece they create? That there are no commissioned words that an artist grudgingly accepts because they have to pay their bills? Sometimes the process of doing something isn’t the end goal, but the product.
If you want to create music for your own benefit, there’s no need to do it in public. You can do it in a garage. You’re going to a bar because pleasing the audience with a good product is at least part of your motivation. Do you think they care if you’ve enjoyed making the music? They only care if they enjoy consuming it.

It’s amazing how you manage to keep up such a double standard in the same comment. Have you been practicing doublethink for a while?
On the one hand you say a human can output this while consuming just a hamburger, on the other hand you say it takes practice (conveniently leaving out the ‘years of’ part).
On the one hand you say “the algorithm” consumes ludicrous amounts of energy, but on the other hand keeping a person alive seems to be free in your world-view. (And no, a homeless person getting just enough to survive does not count as an example of consuming few resources. That’s not a life, that’s misery.)
When AI outputs something for a small audience, that’s a huge waste, but if a human draws something for themselves, that’s somehow adorable?
- Comment on floats away in disgust 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, absolutely no artistic talent there.

I’m assuming this is a response to my comment. I like the other version better.
