Avid PC gamer, Linux convert, SCP fan.

Love Science Fiction, Cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic settings; Fan of the games of the defunct Arkane Studios. Listening to (Power-, Speed-, Thrash-)Metal, Gothic, Deathrock, EBM, Vaporwave, Lo-Fi; Classic and Musicals are fine too. Can't stand Hip-Hop.

Owned by two cats, recently divorced, blessed with a personality disorder (AVPD) - pensioned (even the state has the opinion I'm a total wreck lol). This causes me to be unable to keep up personal connections and makes me ghost literally everyone, so if it happens to you, sorry in advance.

Chronically online.

Pro GenAI, but Anti-GenAI-Corpos; this technology should be available to everyone, which would only be fair since we all contributed to it. Datasets and Models should be under the jurisdiction of UNESCO, since they are literally the distilled cultural output of humanity.

  • ‘New models will mark AI-generated content from day one’: Claude will now hide an invisible watermark inside ordinary words

  • This is a futile approach. It has been shown again and again that watermarks can easily be removed by AI models that are widely and openly available. It is like a bandaid for a severed artery and only is useful to shield Anthropic from the wrath of the courts.

  • Researchers Show How Meta's 'Pervert Glasses' Are Used to Harass Women

    Jump

  • Pervert glasses should not be in quotes. If humanity were mature enough to handle this technology without harassment of women or generally any human, it could be a boon - but with the way society works currently and the backsliding regarding womens rights worldwide this is something that should be removed from the market until society is mature enough to handle it. Not every technology should be available to the public if it leads to such results.

    Simple fix: make these glasses only work as recording devices when every person in view has said "I consent to this interaction to be recorded". Anyone else coming in - they shut off if they don't consent within 10 seconds or so. Also, make activation of recording a voice command a la "I will now start recording if everyone consents". If this isn't loudly voiced, recording cannot start. All of this would make sure that only the really criminal elements would be able to use their devices "the pervert way" - and this should be punished hard by law.

  • I don't think you will even need to type yourself. Tools removing the watermark will be available 3-4 days after this hits the market, fully able to be automated. Watermarks are not a solution that will prevent someone who wants to deceive you from doing so - only awareness that everything on the web is sus will.

    Edit: The only alternative is an 100% digitally signature authenticated web, from the web login down to the posting. I am not sure this is a better way because it also means 100% transparency of everything someone does.

She's really a little princess - normally she's a "i do not want to be touched" nobility, and 2-3 times per day she loses control and begs, prods and sometimes bites me to get her belly rubbed for about 15 minutes.(edit: this includes salivating all over me while getting bellyrubbed because its sooooo good) afterwards it's back to "NO TOUCHING" again lol - at least she doesn't announce that change in attitude with her claws but by simply leaving.

    Jesus, USA, it's really hard watching from the outside what the MAGAs are doing with a country that was once - while by far not perfect - on a pretty good trajectory regarding improvement of civil rights. You lost all that in about a decade or two.

  • Your bad art is better than AI slop [Sophie Labelle]

    Jump

  • AI is good for prototyping stuff or creating dirty one-shot application for simple tasks. In this case, you can try to get inspiration on how the logo should generally look like and then you go to a professional with the concepts you like and work something out that is actually showable. People are using this stuff wrong - but i am not surprised anymore after reading the article where they middle/upper management of a business was burning stupid amounts of tokens to convert pdfs to slideshows instead of using a specialized tool for that.

    Don't go easy on the volume. If they still don't come out after that, they had a heart attack.

  • The state of things

    Jump

  • It sure does. I for my part always used the official EU tool for creating my CV and applications, which made applying somewhere a pretty fast act - if i looked for the next job, i just uploaded the file with my old CV there and could just add what was new. It's pretty useful even today i think! https://europass.europa.eu/en/create-europass-cv

    My experience was not as abysmal as yours, but it also is much farther in the past - last time i was job hunting was around 2016. That 1% response rate is awful… only way to mentally survive that is by not expecting to hear anything back.

  • My heart is broken again. V passed away tonight, and I don't know what to do anymore.

    Jump

  • I'm so sorry for you.

    Give yourself a while to grieve, and maybe think about getting another cat to care for - that is the only thing that was able to make me think less about the loss of a beloved companion and keep me in the present where there is someone who needs your attention and affection.

  • The state of things

    Jump

  • Yeah, the state of things is ugly.

    HR departments get flooded with AI generated applications by the truckload, making automating rejections the only viable way to keep up - at least there was a conscious decision here to reply to an applicant, many just ghost them which is just bad form.

  • cat

    Jump

  • not uncommon -> common, also equivalent to "often" when using less formal speech. My cat does this at least once every 2 days (since i moved out and took my 2 kitties with me from our herd of 4 i am happy to report that the frequency has dropped - he did this A LOT to the other cats, because he is a needy one and very jealous when he sees other cats getting attention)

  • 2027 RAM Capacity Has Reportedly Been Sold out

    Jump

  • That means they have bought out the wavers - with a specific allocation for HBM/DDR/LPDDR/NAND as they need it. they know what percentages of what they need to reach the balance they use in their racks, and that will be what was ordered in detail.

    The DDR5 can be used in common PCs, but it's a different story with LPDDR. I have heard of an adapter to make LPDDR useable in common PCs, while i haven't seen anything like that for HBM - and i wouldn't bet on such an teck being available for the consumer market amytime soon, the architecture is quite different.

  • 2027 RAM Capacity Has Reportedly Been Sold out

    Jump

  • I've never heard of uncut wavers hitting storage or the market. These things are made to be used for whatever is needed at the moment. If you hear this news regarding "Ram cap sold out", it means all available wavers they expect to be produced for that year have been allocated to whoever paid for them. If 50% of the wavers go into HBM, 30% into DDR including LPDDR and 20% go into NAND storage (i do not have the exact numbers, but i know that HBM needs around 3x the amount of silicon compared to DDR), then you are done selling your capacity - whatever happens afterwards does not make DDR5 appear magically on the market.

    Only thing that could change that would be that the AI bubble crashes before 2027, then the allocation numbers will be changed.

  • Oh I don't want to spoil your fun, but cats grooming another cat very often is a very NOT NICE thing.

    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/when-a-cat-licks-another-cat-its-not-always-friendly-new-study-reveals-180989136/

    I can compound this study with the behaviour of my cats, where one of them often uses "grooming" as an obviously hostile action when the other one is on a spot he wants or if the other cat has my attention to make her leave.

    E: What a coincidence, normally my handle is "a_wild_mimic_appears" lol

    (grooming you to annoy you because you have a similar handle)

  • HBM and Vera Rubin are not useful for PC Gaming, at least not for current architectures. Main issue is that DDR5 production simply got cut to make more HBM. But there will be a huge amount of LPDDR, NVME / SSD drives and refurbished Hard Drives available, and hardware for running inference at home for pretty powerful models will become cheap as fuck, liberating us all from the hyperscalers; the open weights models from china are available for everyone.

    At least i pray it will be this way.
