⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
He’s not wrong about the main point, but I think it just means you need to be clearer about the AI disclosure. Was this AI generated images, text, or voices? Was the codebase just using small amounts of AI tab completion or substantial portions of AI generated code?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Sounds like you’d rather watch a movie or show. Not a knock. I tend to not engage with plot in games unless it’s like BG3 where it’s fundamental. I like that for TV and movies, I just have the director giving me the optimal way to engage with their story and themes.

I am a sucker for a good magic or power system, so will happily explore through skill trees and the like.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill and Melinda French Gates and Warren Buffett’s Giving Pledge after 15 years: Only 9 of the 256 billionaires actually followed through on giving away half their wealth⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Sounds a bit like the US. I live in New York City, there are a lot of bloated non profits that are just used as slush funds for rich people and networking. I’ve met a few people on occasion who work in non profits that do things like provide hiring metrics for other non profits instead of actually doing direct good, so you really need to be careful who you donate to.

I’m sorry that Germany also has long term issues with its social safety net, but it’s morbidly reassuring as an American to hear we’re not going to be the only ones on the sinking ship.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill and Melinda French Gates and Warren Buffett’s Giving Pledge after 15 years: Only 9 of the 256 billionaires actually followed through on giving away half their wealth⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
There was a post a while ago where a German person posted that they were confused by the US nonprofit systems, they basically said I pay my taxes and the government makes sure it’s spent feeding the needy and foreign aid and all that. Why should I go through the trouble of researching all these charities trying to find a good one to donate to.

Not that Germany doesn’t have non profits, but they really should be for special interest type cases where you explicitly want to send money to a cause, not general global well being.

You don’t understand, they’re making money so much faster than they can reasonably give away.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
It’s not out of the realm of possibility that it’s normal for your family, but for most families that wouldn’t be normal.

If you’re family is open about being sex positive, if talking with your parents about masturbating wasn’t weird as a teenager, then I don’t think it’s that weird of a college send off gift.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you had 1 dollar and 24 hours what would you do?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Spend the dollar on garbage bags and collect a bunch of bottles and cans. Depending on where you live, you could probably make a good amount of money from that. I’ve seen people with shopping carts full of bottles walking to the recycling kiosks.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I be worried about "Prompt ejection" attacks on my gmail?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Sure, it’s important to be aware of future potential issues, but there’s a huge difference between I get the wrong answer when I ask a chatbot about my email vs remote code execution.

Also, one is a general security vulnerability with email as a whole, like phishing you can get scammed regardless of your email client, vs improperly implemented features in a specific library. I don’t think this is a reason to leave Gmail.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I be worried about "Prompt ejection" attacks on my gmail?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
As far as prompt injection is concerned, I don’t think it’s a risk unless you’re using some kind of agent to go though emails, which is not a Gmail specific thing.

If we’re taking about Google scraping your data the risk is more one of them having an incorrect profile on you, but running a conversational agent is quite expensive, I don’t they would have that as a large scale part of their pipeline. Embedding and clarification models likely aren’t instruction tuned so prompt injection won’t do anything.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I be worried about "Prompt ejection" attacks on my gmail?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Only if you are piping those emails into something like an LLM assistant or search tool, especially if you’re not checking the results. And in that case, it doesn’t matter what email provider you use.

I can see it maybe messing with search results when you look through your email, but again that’s independent of email provider.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
1. Machine code is less portable, as new CPU optimizations and instructions are released, its easier to update a compiler to integrate those in its optimizations than regenerate and retest all of your code. Also, if you need to target different OSs, like windows vs MacOs vs Linux its easier to make portable code in something higher level like python or java.
2. Static analysis to check for things like memory leaks or security vulnerabilities like sql injections are likely easier to do on human readable code rather than assembly.
3. Its easier for a human to go in an tweak code that is written in human readable language rather than assembly.

Make sure you use organic short half life poisons. Don’t poison the surrounding areas with rainwater runoff just because you want to live in a nightmarish hellscape.

Desolate responsibly.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
That’s called politicking, which they absolutely should be doing.

You’re indirectly getting laws through by twisting arms and making deals instead of just having a majority.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Plenty have been directly pressuring Republican congresspeople by rallying in their district like Sanders did this last week.

Direct legislative action is difficult without control, but in terms of effective messaging and pressuring Republicans by threatening the midterms is probably one of the more effective strategies they have.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Define done? Even if the government gets completely dismantled in the short term, who knows what will happen in 10 years time. It will definitely take longer than that to rebuild our position of authority and influence in the global stage, if we ever achieve that, but it’s definitely doable in our lifetimes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Think this is a realistic prediction or just being used to hype up investors?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
If they mean AI upscaling, where you take a low resolution image then generate a higher resolution one then sure.

But it will be a while before they have full AI rendering, if ever. AI generation isn’t super precise when it comes to details and for games precision usually matters a lot unless it’s like a narrative game. You probably can’t use an arbitrary but close color for an enemy for example or have health bars look close enough.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Tesla market cap so high ?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
People saw potential in the company and wanted to get in before other people drove up the price.

If later on it looks like Musk can’t deliver on that potential then peotare going to start selling Tesla stock really quickly.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can ceramic be both a non stick material and really good friction material?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Quoting Wikipedia in reference to the variance in ceramics for the degree of crystallinity and number of electrons in their iconic and covalent bonds:

With such a large range of possible options for the composition/structure of a ceramic (nearly all of the elements, nearly all types of bonding, and all levels of crystallinity), the breadth of the subject is vast, and identifiable attributes (hardness, toughness, electrical conductivity) are difficult to specify for the group as a whole

Lots of non traditional instruments get called for in concerts. I played a song that called for drumming on upturned metal trash cans in high school.

Consider just going on a date with someone you wouldn’t normally have if you’re in a dry spell. Helps you figure out your preferences in a relationship beyond physical appearance.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
One man’s far end is another’s centrism. I don’t think there are too many truly centrist places left because the Gulf between left and right is so wide the center is just a giant ball of contradictions or meaningless statements.

They might be able to produce things with automation and AI and only sustain a small lower class to maintain those machines.

Dyson Sphere program has some great interplanetary and intersolar exploration and supply chain building. I thin that’s the more apt comparison.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asking a girl out for comic book store date?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I think it’s a cultural thing, if I meet someone in certain contexts it’s better to start with coffee or drinks after work and feel each other out 1 on 1, and in others like an app or singles event, just ask them out. I also guess some people would call the first thing a date.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asking a girl out for comic book store date?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
If you only talked to her once or something and didn’t know her that well, maybe just ask her to hang out at the comic book store and mention you enjoyed talking with her, or something you genuinely liked when you last talked to her (other than her looks).

This sets up a low expectation meeting where you can figure out if it’s a crush or you actually like her and if it’s not mutual you can just hang out as friends if both of you are comfortable with that. The goal should be to feel out of you like her and not to try and convince her to go on a real date, just be yourself and see if there is compatibility in a one on one setting.

Just be honest with how you feel at the the and respect her feelings as well.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
In areas that have housing shortages you probably would see a rise in rent as the market of people looking to buy nicer places increases quickly but actually increasing the housing stock in desirable areas takes some time.

I think in the long run it would be a net positive and also would need to be paired with some measure of regulation around arbitrary increases in rent for landlords.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Maybe not the most helpful answer, but self confidence is a huge part of it. I think that’s why a lot of guys feel like they get more attention when they’re in a relationship compared to when they are looking.

There’s nothing wrong with dipping your feet in the dating pool while you’re working on yourself, but spend some time doing things for yourself, not for other people to like you.

If you’re into music, listen to stuff and play stuff, if you’re into computer games play them and try connecting to people along that avenue. Don’t worry about it you’re hobby is dorky, just worry about if you enjoy it and are happy doing it. That should help develop a sense of identity and purpose separate from what other people think of you.
