Chozo

They’re not stealing your data, they’re pirating it.

I’ve only been to one once, but it was fun! It’s not the best experience for actually watching the movie, but there’s a slight party vibe that’s very energetic. I wish they’d make a comeback.

I’m with you on that. The combination of inflation and working from home for the last few years have made me borderline agoraphobic at this point. I think I’ve had in-person interactions with fewer than 15 people in the last year. It’s just too expensive to do anything these days.

It’s probably not great for our mental health.

I really wish we had more restaurants like Sonic. Not taste-wise, their food is awful. But I like the drive-in experience.

With some rofl on the side.

Not really. I’ve seen plenty of sponsored YT Shorts, properly tagged and everything so YT’s definitely got the infrastructure in place to monetize Shorts. But most sponsors aren’t going to pay for a Short because… well, it’s too short, so those tend to be few and far between.

However, Shorts aren’t profitable for their ability to directly monetize your content, they’re profitable for their ability to drive a LOT of new viewers to your longer-form content. The Shorts algorithm is very aggressive at referring you to channels you aren’t subscribed to, and that has helped a lot of creators get very large followings, very quickly.

Thor/Pirate Software is an excellent example of this; he’s always had a pretty decent following, but once he started putting out YT Shorts, his subscriber and view counts began skyrocketing, which has also overflown into new Twitch subscribers, as well. He started with a small but healthy community, and has blown up into a huge, multi-platform community, and has easily doubled his YT earnings since engaging with Shorts.

Shorts are very helpful to creators right now. More creators need to realize that creating YT Shorts is basically creating ads for your own YT channel, on YT, for free. It’s probably the closest thing to “IRL money dupe glitch” that there is.

What’s the difference between one technology you don’t understand (AI engine-assisted ) and another you don’t understand (human-staffed radiology laboratory)?

The difference is that people think they understand AI. Even here in this thread, there are people confusing this for an LLM.

Your TV doesn’t need a screensaver. You can just… turn it off.

The data used to configure it.

I don’t understand why it’s so hard to sandbox an LLM’s configuration data from it’s training data.

I think generally, assistive devices like Hawking’s wheelchair/speech synth wouldn’t qualify one for the title of “cyborg”, since they’re replacing lost/damaged functionality, and didn’t grant him any abilities not already available to the average person. Whereas Harbisson’s modification is giving him additional abilities that he didn’t previously have and are outside of the typical human experience.

Mozilla Foundation (the non-profit) and Mozilla Corporation (the for-profit) are two different entities under the Mozilla umbrella, so their staffing may be reported differently depending where you look and how they’re counting it.

Mozilla is a small company

I’m surprised that people consider a ~2000-person company that revenues about a half billion a year to be “small”. Mozilla is a profit-driven corporation, far separated from the vision of the hobbyist coders who founded it decades ago. The only reason they’re shutting down their Mastodon server is because it’s not making them money, not because they lack the resources to support it.

In the fine print, you’ll see it says “wheel is for illustrative purposes only, all users will receive the best prize”.

Perfect, just in time to stop Russia from meddling with the 2016 election!

I’m sure absolutely nobody will confuse this with Tildes.

Outside of our very small internet bubble, yes that’s an incredibly unpopular opinion. By and large, people love Twitter, as evidenced by it still being one of the most-used platforms around.

All the more reason it doesn’t need to be on the internet.

From my bedroom, right this moment, there are four unsecured networks I can connect to, which I do not own or control.

This is not an uncommon scenario.

Neighbors, bro. You can’t control networks you don’t own.

Are you really this obtuse, or is this just an act?
