  • In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

  • Good cables are shielded well. That she makes them expensive. That's not transmission, that's shielding. I don't think they tested that but for digital audio is not surprising

  • I'm not saying it wasnt trained on csam or defending any AI.

    But your point isn't correct

    What prompts you use and how you request changes can get same results. Clever prompts already circumvent many hard wired protections. It's a game of whackamole and every new iteration of an AI will require different methods needed bypass those protections.

    If you can ask it the right ways it will do whatever a prompt tells it to do

    !You can't tell it to make a nude image of a child, I assume, but you can tell it make the subject in the image of the last prompt 60% smaller and adjust it as necessary to make it believable.!< That probably shouldnt work but I don't put anything passed these assholes.

    It doesn't take actual images/data trained if you can just tell it how to get the results you want it to by using different language that it hasn't been told not to accept.

    The AI doesn't know what it is doing, it's simply running points through its system and outputting the results.

  • You are most likely correct that it's too early to say. I don't have a problem conceding that point to you.

    I think Reddit did shoot itself in the foot though, regardless of if they are still around. I don't know that they will ever be able to regain what it has lost.

    As a Reddit refugee myself I can say that for me they absolutely fucked over the chance to have me return to their platform, and many if not most of other refugees I'm guessing would share a similar opinion

  • That's an absolute failure of all of those products to not provide that environment on their own.

    This used to be commonplace

    Discord at its best was simply a hangout where you and your friends can talk to each other without needing to be playing the same game.

    It became entirely too complicated and bigger than it needed to be. It's a. Overblown IRC voice chat. And before nitro, it was exactly all it needed to be.

    Now it shot itself in the foot like so many others by trying to be something that isn't what made it great

  • What’s a food you love that everyone else seems to judge you for?

  • I recently made some kimchi marinated paneer. Fucking amazing as I love both paneer and kimchi.

    I just cubed up the paneer and tossed it into a ziplock bag with enough kimchi and juices to cover, turning it over everyday for a few days(had things come up and it sat in the fridge for 3 days before I was able to use it)

    Absolutely delicious, I'm going to do it again but this time do panneer kimchi tacos

  • There's a steakhouse chain in Vancouver BC called The Keg. Been around for decades. They have a wild horseradish that no other "extra hot" jar I've ever found has come close to.

    Not sure what the secret is, I suspect it might be made in house, but it is so good! You get that crawling sinus thing going on and it's awesome. Highly recommend if you are ever out this way

  • It's only too high if they demand exclusivity.

    And they don't.

    They are providing PLENTY of value to anyone who is listing their games there.

    Would I like to see them do more now for small and independent outfits? I would! but 30% isn't that much comparatively to the old days of buying physically distributed things in a brick and mortar store.

    I remember buying final fantasy 2 (4) on snes and it cost 95$ US this was 1988 or 1989

    Which was about 129 CAD (the exchange rate is between usd then and now is about the same conveniently for this tidbit)

    Today after years of inflation it would cost about 250-260 USD or 340-355 CAD

    I don't fucking miss those days at all. And while there are multiple factors here in play, this is entirely fair to charge silksong 6 dollars ish per sale on a 20 dollar sale whilst the failing AAA games 30 dollars on a 90 dollar sale. There is a cost involved and it is because of steam, specifically steam, that made digital distribution what it is today. And by that I mean they have set the standard for what is a healthy location to sell your digital goods.

    And to give an example of what garbage (yes you Tim Sweeney you giant whiny fecal faced fuck) digital distribution for games would look like if steam didnt actually do a great job, look at books.

    Buying books on through amazon you pay more for them then you used to for a physical copy of the book itself.

  • Yeah...

    Well remember them in 25 years and file FOIA requests after they hope everyone forgot. Optimistic that will even be an option in the future I know but instead of just protesting if we just keep spamming them with requests, relentlessly who knows what we might achieve.

    Since about occupy Wall Street I think we can see that any protest for a cause that is already well understood and acknowledged by the public at large(meaning the activism still needs to raise awareness that a problem exists at all) now requires some form of other actual action to gain any traction

    Too many people are too complacent, unwilling, or simply unable to do more than just express their opinion.

    It's just like with abuse victims, the best results happen when they are not only able to take action against their abusers, by but face them too. Which is often if not usually a cruel injustice to have a system that only seems to get good results when it requires further trauma to those who need justice.

    Whether that trauma is physical, psychological or simply even economic trauma

    We COULD simply stock up on say rice and beans, then quit participating in the system that is constantly fucking over those it should be seeking to protect, we the people. But as long as we won't and can't simply stop long enough and have a place to sleep, clothes on our backs and food in our stomachs we will lose to those that syphon all of our labour, the sliver of time we have on this planet, we will continue to suffer greater and greater losses...

  • You have completely lost the plot here.

    They may have thought they were voting for something other than this shit show but it was extremely obvious that nothing good could come from voting for Trump if you aren't one of his friends.

    This IS what people voted for, because they voted for this sack of shit and the project 2025 was written out well ahead of the elections.

    They were lied to about many things, but they still voted for a lying liar and fucking should have known better.

    This is everyone's fault who voted for this orange shit sack
