  • We messed up with the Windows 12 article. What we got wrong and how it happened

    Jump

  • The developers at a previous job swore that their Windows installation ran faster and better on a virtual machine inside of Linux.

    I never tried it myself, but I trust their judgement. They knew what they were doing for sure.

    The wind is changing direction. And so is she.

  • California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup

    Jump

  • It doesn't matter. There's no good reason to have it in an OS in the first place. It's obviously a stepping stone to get infrastructure in place so they can expand it later.

    Let's put it this way. Linux says no. We're not gonna do that at a kernel level. Because there's no way in hell that's going through as long as Linus is alive.

    Then what? Is California going to ban Linux? Guess what all the data centers use for servers...

    I almost want them to do it, just to grab popcorn and enjoy the fallout.

  • Pete Hegseth snarls at reporter's 'gotcha question' when pressed on Iran war endgame

    Jump

  • Apparently asking about Trump's press conference where he said the operation might take 4 weeks, but they will continue as long as they have to.

    As opposed to the initial statement that their operation would take 2 weeks.

    Bad move from the reporter. They should know this "minister" doesn't have the slightest clue about what's going on.

  • If it was a non-issue they wouldn't introduce this to begin with.

    There's not a single good reason to why an OS would ever need to know someone's age.

  • US man issues challenge to disprove his claim of having world’s smallest penis to raise micropenis awareness

    Jump

  • It is often due to very low testosterone levels during infancy. And seemingly often detected during birth.

    Hormone treatment can help in some cases.

    Though it's worth noting, his micropenis is significantly smaller than other men's micropenis. There are those that very much can have penetrative sex. And then there's this guy...

  • What made you choose your Fediverse Instance?

    Jump

  • I picked one at random. Then I quickly realised .ml is nuts so I picked a different random one. How do I feel about about my instance? No strong feelings one way or the other. It's ok I guess

  • US man issues challenge to disprove his claim of having world’s smallest penis to raise micropenis awareness

    Jump

  • So of new borns often have a ~90mm flaccid penis at birth, and he is 1cm erect...

    I wonder if he was born with an even smaller penis, or if his penis just literally never grew.

    I'm about to sully my search history and look this up, but I would imagine there are hormone treatments you can get at a young age.

    Edit: short answer. Yes it can help in some cases. Micropenis is often detected in infancy. And seemingly often caused by very low testosterone levels during development

  • I'm pretty sure most new born boys have a larger penis than that... I struggle to believe that his tool would really be THAT tiny.

  • AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations— Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95% of cases

    Jump

  • The bomb on nagasaki was a strategic nuke, not a tactical. Though yields have only increased since then.

    These LLMs were fed a narrative and scenario and made to play where survival is tied to military success. They are by no means designed for any of this and I didn't suggest it either.

    People lump together AI with AI but there are vast differences among them in how they work and what they're designed to do and take into consideration.

    If a military is talking about AI, they're not talking about asking what Gemini thinks. They're talking about feeding a highly sophisticated algorithm more data than any human could look through and find patterns.

    I don't think AI should decide nuclear questions either. But it doesn't change that the headline of this post, is in direct contradiction of the article

  • AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations— Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95% of cases

  • It's worse. The llms used did not use nukes 95% of the times. They performed mutual nuclear signaling 95% of the times. Like "hey, we got nukes you know! We might consider to place them within range" And the other side said "yeah!? Then we will also do that, maybe we even put them on a submarine, who knows"

  • It's not a misleading title. It's just false. It's a lie.

    Glad to see I'm not the only one that read the article, because it was a pretty interesting read.

  • What you're trying to do is push a narrative with the assumption that most people won't read the actual article. Because your title is not only misleading. It's factually false.

    First of all, they were all set up to mimic cold war tension and capabilities and assume the role of a certain global power.

    Second of all;

    All games featured nuclear signaling by at least one side, and 95% involved mutual nuclear signaling. But there is a large gap between signaling and actual use: while models readily threatened nuclear action, crossing the tactical threshold (450+) was less common, and strategic nuclear war (1000) was rare.

    The AI's did NOT use nuclear strikes in 95% of games. Gemini was the only model that made the deliberate choice of sending a strategic nuclear strike. Which it did in 7% of its games.

    Tactical nuke in this case is a low yield short range bomb, inted for very specific targets. Strategic is this case is what most people imagine when they hear "nuke" a high yield long range bomb intended to cause massive destruction.

    Nuclear signaling is not using nukes. It's essentially just saying "we have nukes". The US hinting at having a nuclear capable submarine outside of Alaska, that's is a form of signaling. It's an incredibly low bar. And countries do it all the time.

  • I can see you care about this topic. I'm not here to piss in your soup. I just said what the purpose is.

    But in essence you are correct. The problem isn't that you can print certain parts, it's how easy it is to access everyone else supporting it. E.g. bullets or shells

  • I guarantee that those guns have metal powder in them to make them detectable.

    Since all firearms owned by civilians must be detectable by metal detectors.

  • No, it didn't feel much different beyond that i could legally get drunk. You're still the same stupid teenager, with the difference that your actions now have potentially more severe consequences. So sometimes. It's probably a good idea to pause for 5 seconds and think about what the consequences might be. Easier said than done for sure.

    I'm now 32, and the most important thing I can say is take care of your body and your body will take care of you. Work out, eat your vegetables, stretch your limbs, maintain your cardio. And the next 20 years ahead of you will be even better.

    I have friends my age that move like seniors. You don't want to be like that.

  • It is specifically trying to prevent people from making firearms that is not detectable with a metal detector. You are allowed to create your own firearm. As long as it is detectable with a metal detector.

    I'm not here to argue their method of enforcement. I'm just saying what the purpose is.

  • What the "ban" is trying to achieve. Is prevention of firearms undetectable by metal detectors.

    Though I'm not sure why that is important seeing as the bullet (as a whole) consists of lead, copper, and brass. But I suppose it can be argued it's a lot easier to sneak through a bullet than a firearm.
