Between that and never having the money to upgrade my computer I finally had to give up Gentoo after nearly 20 years of use. I keep wanting to go back but its just too painful and I just can’t bite the bullet to do a binary install.

To be fair, your SO is so old they don’t know what a meme is. Maybe in a few more years they will catch up to the rest of us

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Could all US copyright holders somehow file a class-action suit against LLM makers?English
3·8 months agoBut then I’d ask how do you outlaw human systematic consumption of information. The camera on my car cant watch 24/7, then why should YOU be allowed to watch 24/7? What you’re outlawing is the literal methodology.
This has always been an issue with my thoughts on AI. If the computer became sentient does the LLM learning rule go out the window? or is it because they are made of metal?

6·8 months agoI feel like they need a test case to figure out how to define derivative work when the creator is not human.
If i make a painting and you see it and then make one in a similar style it would be considered derivative and not a violation. In your head is a distillation of my image. It doesn’t contain the image and your output would be lossy. Similarly the LLM contains statistics and not verbatim content. So the question is “how is human synthesis different than AI synthesis.”
Until that is resolved a class action would probably fall apart. Individual damages would need to be determined and even a single example of “you put your stuff out to the public and aren’t going aftet Joe who made derivative work…” would derail the case.

endlhas aflushwhich is important when doing something like embedded work or RTOS development. If i was doing multiple lines they all were\nuntil the last line when i actually want to push the buffer.Obviously depending on the tuning of the compiler’s optimization multiple flushes could be reduced but the goal should always be to write as optimal as possible.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What do you do to improve your workflow(s)?English
7·9 months agoFor a long time I was doing a bullet journal for management and another notebook for notes, written in shorthand. was great for when i worked in an office, didn’t have to lug around my computer. The downside was that deep searching for things was impossible. You tell me the day and I could find it but 3 months about at some point we talked about X…
Now that I’ve been work from home for 6 years I’ve switched to todo.txt and Obsidian (vimwiki set to output the same location). Syncthing to keep computer and phone working.
i also do 43 Folders for intake of mail and tasks with some sort of physical medium.
As for workflow I have a daily note template that has:
- Morning routine checklist (already filled out)
- Curated To Do list for the day
- Section for Meetings / Calls / One Off Immediate Task
- General Notes
- “For tomorrow…”
My routine has steps for filling out the rest of the notes and lists, checking emails, 43 folders, etc. This way all i really have to do is follow the steps.
is that the part you sit on when you’re up on your peddle stool?

61·9 months agoHow do you “move on” from knowing my neighbors are nazi fascists? How do I just ignore the fact they voted to destroy families of people they dont like, dehumanizing them and laughing at it when people fall apart?
You don’t get to pretend you voted for a fascist party and aren’t a fascist yourself. We all know that if there is a Trump replacement when he dies these same people will want a new hate party leader in office. If you think we are just going to move in maybe ask the Germans how painful the transition of the 20 years post WW2 was for them. That’s what is in store for the US if things don’t change now.

Memes@lemmy.ml•Don't blame Satan if things don't work out. It's God's plan right?English
51·9 months agoIts not a misread, your interpretation skips the important parts. The problem with your interpretation is right here:
be blessed without the burden of knowledge
The actual sin was both the man and woman breaking their covenant with God,
The knowledge is “of good and evil.” Until eating they couldn’t know that breaking a covenant was wrong no matter what their god has told them. They did not know that they should listen to what their god said, the concept of “should/shouldn’t” was devoid of meaning to them. While they had free will, literally all actions were purposeless and the two would just bounce around the garden not knowing if they should actually listen to their god or not. This becomes more evident when you read further as well as look at the stories from neighboring cultures this was borrowed from.
Later in the chapter their god speaks to the other deities in the pantheon about how the humans must be cast out of the garden as having their new abilities, may find the tree of everlasting life and become as powerful as the rest of the gods and supernatural beings. The idea is that having knowledge of the ramifications of one’s actions and living forever would mean that humans would no longer be controlled by the gods. That having free will, knowing what is good and what is evil and being immune to the wrath of the gods would render them all powerful.
This narrative then follows that their god casts them out into the world riddled with pain and suffering and humans eventually lose their knowledge of the past and how their god has their thumb on them. This is why Satan, “The Accusor”, is called the bringer of light. As sin is defined as a transgression against god, Satan is there to show how the fall of man was truly an enslavement by their god. Rather than leave humans dumb bouncing around the garden or immune to suffering, their god keeps humans ensnared in this system of life, suffering and everlasting torment. the story of the garden is what makes their god relevant when they otherwise shouldn’t be.

That is a control issue. They target groups they wish to control (e.g. Conservative Christians) and they tackle one of their major issues/needs to get the group into their pocket. CC want to oppression women, destroy minorities and LGBTQ. So the billionaires fund all this hateful shit to get CC to vote and support who the billionaires want in power. That is why the Orange one is president, he is an easily controlled idiot who handed over the keys to Mr Swastikar.
