I was honestly like, “WTF. I know about erratics in geology, but the odds of one being on top of a submerged glacier AND a fkn polar bear… (stare too long b4 seeing it’s gen)… Ohhh… Nah, still, DAMN!” Not because of the content, but because I honestly did not spot it as a gen despite the absurdity, and messing around with this stuff regularly. I should have picked up on the shapes of the snow covered portion above water and the nonsense of small broken off bits in the water in the foreground, but I was already biased by the nature of mobile device scrolling and had not noticed the header tag for c/ AI gen. Nice one indeed. That has only happened to me a few times before.

- Comment on A troll (https://lemm.ee/u/shinigamiookamiryuu) is a new moderator of AskLemmy on Lemmy.world. What can be done about this? 1 week ago:
Upon a troll taking power as a mod of a popular community, the fediverse won’t be affected, because you can just make a NEW community, and everyone will go there!
I find that stupidity infuriating. It postulates that communities are owned by moderators and not the community and users. That is authoritarian narcissistic garbage. No one looks at or cares who the moderators are when they post anything anywhere, EVER! NEVER EVER EVER!!!
That is how these places fail to grow most people encountering this stupidity just leave. Mods serve communities just like admin. The altruism of hosting is not some neo feudal ownership of users. I’m grateful for the time and efforts spent and willing to contribute myself in the ways I can to that democracy, but anyone that acts like that means they own me can shove a whole data center and the parking lot up their root directory. Communities have momentum and belong to the users only. ANY mods that do not put users first should be purged immediately. Mods are disposable. As a mod, I am disposable. I do not matter. I am the janitor. Any mod that can not say this should be purged immediately. Anyone with any hint of narcissism is toxic to the community in every instance. Every mod and admin action is harmful and should only ever be applied to those that are causing greater harm like bigots. There should be extreme prejudice by admin at mods that are active and taking actions that were not flagged by members of the broader community. I’ll volunteer as a mod of any of the larger communities if that is what is needed. I trust users to make flags and there are very few actual actions needed here in any community.

I don’t get why anyone views being a moderator like ownership. It seems to attract a lot of narcissism in that mindset. I don’t think mod posts are relevant at to growing a community. Quite the opposite, I think forced posts are worse than none. It is a matter of how the community resonates with users and the total number of people on the platform. The more niche the group, the harder it is to find an audience. The community belongs to users that post. The only community truly owned by a mod in the one where they are the only one that posts. Mods serve the community not the other way around.

I didn’t see L3 is active and apologize to them. I saw mod actions from automod and the inactive top two mods, with the LW admin on the mod list.
The community has an overly verbose and micromanaged rules set along with a terrible modlog that lacks detail and discretion IMO. It cones across as narcissistic to me, while the community has been far more liberal in practice in my experience.
I expect to never see a bot interaction on any post or comment I ever make here. If a real person cannot take the time to write out their reasoning and put their name on their actions, I am not a human in that paradigm. I am a human, and always post in good faith to the best of my ability, so such an inhuman action against me implies a demeaning and prejudiced act of cowardice.
I seem to recall around a week ago I was trying to post in a community that was locked in protest for something on LW. I thought it was c/no stupid questions, but my memory is fuzzy and I don’t see it in the modlog. I’m probably mistaken and perhaps it was some other community. For that, I apologize. That was my biased mindset of what was happening in this community.
I strongly believe that any user that posts in good faith, regardless of quality, correctness, eccentricity, or just having a bad day, should never encounter mods or admin under any circumstances unless they post something ridiculous like a book review in self hosting or some similar out of scope post.
Mods should have a similar code of conduct as doctors with the Hippocratic aphorism “first, do no harm” above all else. Every action has a great potential for harm and should be taken seriously as a human dealing with humans. Bots should only manage bots.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Admin placed a bot in that community as moderator. I find that highly insufficient and offensive and am volunteering to do a better job, because such inept moderation makes me want to leave this place and likely will affect others similarly. The community was passively moderated in the past to much better effect and should continue in such a liberal style for the benefit of users. I believe this is critical for stability on LW which has dwindled and deteriorated considerably in the last 6 months. I’m offering a solution to the continued decline in one small area.

- What aspect of politics in the No Stupid Questions community is concerning you personally?
- Do you believe that a person that genuinely asks a question about politics should inevitably feel alienated or repressed when their good faith post is removed for an arbitrary rule, perhaps even after positive engagement with the community?
- How does this policy impact Lemmy overall to encourage positivity and growth of user base engagement?
I do not see a clear reason why a person that genuinely has a political question they intuitively feel belongs in this space should be discouraged from posting, but you are welcome to enlighten me otherwise. I do take issue with all bad faith posts that can seem common within the political space at times. I’m not quite sure how to frame that as a rule that will help the community flag posts. I think the principal is intuitive in general, but I need to think about the wording.

I don’t take or look at pictures of myself. I’ve never felt value in that. I can often recall moments vaguely if I look at even my oldest pictures. I’m intuitively connected but not emotionally. I don’t have much nostalgic emotion.
- Comment on Gaze of the Golden Plains 2 weeks ago:
That dot pattern works here but usually means there are gen layers that are saturated or mismatched in odd ways. I get that all the time if I run LoRAs too high or a weight is too strong in the prompt. Could be that I always use a custom sampler with beta scheduler and have modified the code that scales and tiles QKV bias in pytorch code and the Python libraries that call it. Dunno, but I see this pattern a lot when playing with new LoRAs. I quit Flux though. It is too slow and the lack of negative prompts is a massive regression IMO. Maybe if it was configured like llama.cpp with the execution split between CPU/GPU it would be better, but GPU only sets my laptop on fire hot mode even with 16GB GPU.
- Comment on Why did Nvidia stock drop with R1 hype? 3 weeks ago:
I expect Nvidia to boom for at least another 5 years. There will eventually be an answer to the L2 to L1 bottleneck problem with the present CPU architecture. I fully expect that answer will come in RISC-V. Real hardware takes 10 years from napkin to first consumer products in hand. The key catalyst was shortly after the Llama model weights leaked. Anyone that knows about fundamental computing history, like the relevance of Bell Labs historically and that Meta AI is headed by Yann LeCun, should see the relevance of the “leak” in shaping the future. It will eventually be obvious that this event shaped the world. This is Apache versus Sun Micro and OpenAI is Sun. Within a couple of months of the leak the inadequacy of present CPU architecture should have been obvious. In the past all CPU coprocessor topology schemes have failed next to a competing integrated architecture. It is well established and should have immediately sparked new designs to fix the issue. That is when the real clock started for 10 years before the real solution comes to market.
The real solution will likely be considerably slower in total speed and include many more logical cores with a new architecture that can throughput tensors efficiently. Anything that gets sold in the interm as hardware for AI is marketing wank. I doubt Intel AMD or Nvidia will have the real solution to this problem. The real solution will likely happen in a RISC-V ISA and from someone new like how traditional automakers are unlikely to succeed with EVs because the change is too radical of a rethink and requires throwing out too much of the supply chain while investing massively into areas like a software first design when these companies are wholly incompetent with even the most basic software on present and late model ICE vehicles. Intel and AMD have failed to keep parity with Nvidia and the GPU, while Nvidia has no experience with traditional architectures. I think all will be made irrelevant by a future monolithic replacement, but that has quite a ways to go before it happens. I also find it funny that the whole e-core zen-5 energy optimization push for hardware is cutting out the very instruction set required for the most efficient tensor math that x86 can support. The existence of e-cores and how the CPU scheduler and software works means that even the performant cores that have the underlying tensor math instructions cannot use them because e-cores exist. There is even speculative circumstantial evidence that Intel’s solution to people discovering that the AVX instructions for the P-cores was disabled in microcode only and enabling it with the server CPU microcode is the main issue that caused the massive issue with 13-14th gen processors. It is all happening when, if they were prepared and optimised for LLM inference, all p-core consumer processors with the most advanced AVX instructions to load 512 bit wide words in one cycle would have made a massive difference. There are even ridiculously useless Intel processors that have all e-core designs. Both Intel and AMD showed they were not ready for this shift at all, so to me that means they are not likely to have a real monolithic replacement for x86 in the works either. It would not surprise me if China were to realize the political power of open source as a socialist rally and push back against the West and roll out a RISC-V solution. I kinda hope they do. Restricting their access to Nvidia is pushing them in this direction.

Oh I am even worse. I appear fine and fully mobile. I have lots of small damage down my entire cervical and thoracic spine. I took the equivalent of a head first dive from a 10 story building wearing a bicycle helmet and survived. My issue is posture. It is particularly cruel because I just seem weird and tense and can’t control conversation well. You can’t see the pain and how I’m falling apart just to sit up or stand. I lost my ability to be myself and function unless I am lying reclined.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I one hundred percent agree. People take most of what I say outside of the context of my abstractions. I like to use hyperbole a little more than I should, and I choose to withhold judgment in most cases. With something like the OP’s situation, I’m amused by the unexpected nature of the situation and using that as a hyperbolic pivot but am not saying or should be normalized to post about porn per say. I asked the question to get a better feel for how I perceive the situation. I can’t imagine anyone in my family doing this because they are religious extremists. I don’t have to worry about it anyways as I’m in near total social isolation due to physical disability.
I find lots of interesting aspects of porn that are not rooted in self gratification. I learn a lot about AI from hacking around with diffusion AI code. I can do much of what others can and can’t achieve by messing with the model itself. I’m still no expert by any stretch. I have an interest in many aspects from the photography, to the narrative composition and psychology of porn. I have had an interest in automotive and industrial product design since I was a kid. I also spent years painting cars and spraying custom graphics on the side. I see a lot of art in the shapes of human nudes like the shape of the linea semilunaris. There are many times I see some photography or a video where I notice the artistry. In positioning or perspective view.
So I’m not saying the OP’s dad is in any mindset like this, but these are within mine. I’m much more conservative than person. I wish it was more acceptable to talk about the complexities surrounding sex and nudity without reactions like this post reply has gotten. I wish people here had the self awareness and complexity to discuss instead of discourage. It often feels like a room full of children that lack engaging or thoughtful nuance here.

It has to to with the reality of love and relationships from this young lady’s perspective. It has to do with me refusing to reduce any person to a two dimensional assumption about them based on a single outlier metric. It is a respect for the autonomy of all humans. It is also a rejection of the backwardness and conflicting nonsense present in cultural norms. Like how the age of majority in much of the world is under 25 when science has proven that cognitive adulthood does not happen until this age. Majority is kept at 18 for moldable child soldiers that are just strong enough to fight but easily manipulated into fighting for criminal reasons like corporate interests. These types of ethics have no moral ground at all but are the foundation of Western morality. Nature has the ultimate say in physiological consent. Like it or not, that is irrelevant to the truth of science and observation. Read carefully and note that I have never once stated anything I believe here about what the age of majority or consent should be so far. What I really believe is that assumptions and stereotypes always hurt some minority of people. The more simple the stereotype is, the larger the hurt minority will be in every instance. Therefore I try to be very careful about judging others in ways that use simple stereotypes and restrict them in ways that might hurt them. So it is not my place to say. She is a kid and will likely make really dumb decisions, but so do most of us when under 25, and I wholely reject basing my ethics on child soldiers. In practice, everyone appreciates their own right to self determination. It is an unalienable human right. You have a right to be stupid, and a right to make mistakes, just like everyone has a right to try and warn someone of the dangers of the path they are taking and thinks like the limited perspective and depth of understanding inherent to youth. She will be a different person in 10 years time, but it is not up to me to assume I can speak for her now or for that person in her future. She is a product of her environment and I am not. I respect her as a fellow human and do not enslave her to my tribal ethics and assumptions.

Not saying it is like normal or anything. Am saying society in general in the west has far too authoritarian mindsets that are just dumb. If you go telling this girl she doesn’t matter, at that age, you’re shooting yourself in both feet and likely the head as far as she is concerned. She will not stop because anyone said so. She might listen to some amount of reasoning, but dogmatism has absolutely no chance of reaching a better place. It has a very good chance of getting MUCH worse.

TBH, it works for some people. I have a cousin that was happy for 30 years when he married a similar age gap in the other direction.
It really depends on the person. My boss from the bike shops was 20 years older than me and his wife was my age yet they made a great couple too. They were both pro amateur level cyclists and finding a good match like that is not common.
I was physically disabled at 29, and if I was somehow able to recover, I would likely be more interested in someone 10+ years younger because that is how long my life has been in limbo. I didn’t get a lot of the life experiences.
In the world of today, expecting the old normals is pretty much nonsense. Where I live, there is no chance someone in their twenties lives on their own and has any kind of financial stability unless their parents are creating it. Those types of people look to marry and date within their social class. Only fools at the bottom fail to see the social classes and caste systems in all societies. Your ex is likely right in my opinion. Most of our religious and cultural norms are little more than a tool to suppress the peasantry. Resisting the unfamiliar is common tribalism behavior but it has little to no value in the present world. The man’s age is irrelevant against the measure of the man. I’m against taking agency away from your daughter. Meet the man with a open mind and then make your case with your daughter if you need to, but don’t be dogmatic.
