    Roblox continues efforts for child safety by expanding age estimation to all users by end of the year

    Jump

  • It should at the very least get a new, better CEO. And also calm down with their focus on getting older users and encouraging user dating services. They have a solid user base with younger users, and should be focused on them and their protection.

    But yeah, just shutting down might be the best option.

  • In the 2010s and 2020s, however, he reassessed his design as he began receiving fan mail and recognition for designing a pop culture icon, with a wave of nostalgia driving even Clippy-based erotica.

    I know about rule 34. But wow.

  • Sounds like it's time to start some basic code camp / code academy / Udemy courses in your off time to catch up.

  • Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward

    Jump

  • I second this. There's a little bit of a learning curve on some of the functionality, but it's not bad at all. And most of the functionality is very easy to find. I moved over to Libre Office several years ago and it's been great.

  • US Vice President J.D. Vance: Russia is not working against a possible peace with Ukraine

    Jump

  • Yeah, he has some.

    • He strongly believes in the sanctity of marriage between a man and his couch.
    • He believes people with darker skin or non-Caucasian features are disgusting and should be banished from the county (...except his own kids).
    • He believes that memes featuring him with a bald head and a goofy baby-like face hurt his thin-skinned, insecure ego and therefore are bad for the country.
    • He believes that eyeliner is completely okay if you're the VP, but if you identify as male or trans and your name isn't JD Vance then it should be banned.
    • He believes that Putin destroying American democracy is perfectly acceptable, to the point that 'Vladdy Daddy' should be eagerly assisted from inside the Whitehouse.

  • 'Where's your America First?': US teenager stuck in Israeli jail for six months

    Jump

  • He's the wrong kind of American. The 'America First' manta mantra only applies to straight, white, protestant Christian conservative Americans. Anyone outside of that narrow window is the enemy to those pushing this dogma.

  • This is what happens when you rely on corporate hosted solutions. If these people really must fall in love with an LLM, they should install one on their local PC and then start romancing it.

  • Gavin Newsom surges in 2028 presidential primary poll

    Jump

  • He's nothing if not a political opportunist. Really hoping a better candidate starts gaining traction though.

  • NASA’s acting chief calls for the end of Earth science at the space agency | NASA's charter clearly states the agency should study planet Earth, however.

  • Where did they find this particular doofus? Fox News? A Christian 'college'? Family of one of their cronies?

    Is he a flat earther to boot?

  • ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity

    Jump

  • BTW a lot of it seems to be just inefficient coding as Deepseek has shown.

    Kind of? Inefficient coding is definitely a part of it. But a large part is also just the iterative nature of how these algorithms operate. We might be able to improve that via code optimization a little bit. But without radically changing how these engines operates it won't make a big difference.

    The scope of the data being used and trained on is probably a bigger issue. Which is why there's been a push by some to move from LLMs to SLMs. We don't need the model to be cluttered with information on geology, ancient history, cooking, software development, sports trivia, etc if it's only going to be used for looking up stuff on music and musicians.

    But either way, there's a big 'diminishing returns' factor to this right now that isn't being appreciated. Typical human nature: give me that tiny boost in performance regardless of the cost, because I don't have to deal with. It's the same short-sighted shit that got us into this looming environmental crisis.

  • Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?

    Jump

  • Tom Cruise. No exceptions. Even when I don't realize it's him in a role (which was basically limited to his role in Tropic Thunder), his performances still irritate me.

  • What’s the first book you remember loving?

    Jump

  • When I was a kid I remember reading a Dragonfall 5 science fiction novel and enjoying it.

    A few year's later I read To Kill A Mocking Bird for a school assignment and being impressed by Harper Lee's writing style and finding the story and topics really interesting. Around that time I also fell in love with Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.
