  • The only sources the article cites (aside from the various links to other articles on the same site) are two Psychology Today articles:

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-discomfort-zone/202407/interdependence-the-key-to-healthy-relationships https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-therapeutic-relationship/202309/balancing-attachment-and-autonomy

    Neither of these are making the claim that "learning independence too early" has a causal relationship with not maintaining close friends (might be true, but it's not being substantiated). Kind of makes me suspect it's an AI generated article, since it consists of plausible-sounding content that is seemingly spun up out of nothing. The site seems to be publishing 20+ similar articles every day.

  • the release included ... handwritten notes that displayed the wallet seed phrases.

    Should actually be easy in this case to tell whether it was in fact the cops that took the money; just check whether the time of the transaction was before or after the time of the press release.

  • I like chickens

  • You asked if there's a way to tell how much power LLMs use, you didn't specify LLMs on a server you don't have physical access to.

  • I have a LLM server on my computer, so I can tell how much electricity it is using this way. It's not somewhere else is how

  • You can use a wattage meter between your outlet and computer. I've tried that, and the usage is around the same as a graphically intensive videogame while it is generating.

  • Something about the way that garage is organized is so nice

  • Maybe it's just me but most times I try to compile a software project from source, it's gonna take a long time figuring out stuff not mentioned in the readme and I will probably give up in the end.

  • My theory is that it is much psychologically easier to publish something you put little effort into and is mostly not your own work. Ego related fears are a strong motivator. Or maybe it's just a question of volume, idk.

  • I also noticed that, maybe it would help to add some kind of loading progress indicator?

  • The main complaints about Matrix I've heard though are about behind the scenes stuff rather than features, which the video touches on:

    But there are some reasons why I think XMPP is superior. In Matrix, when you join a room, your server downloads and stores the entire history of that room. If someone on a federated server posts illegal content in a room you're in, your server is now hosting it, and you are liable. Whereas in XMPP, messages are relayed in real time. Group chat, MU history stays on your server hosting that room. So your server only stores messages for your users which means that no content caching there is no content caching from other servers. This is a fundamental architectural difference which makes the XMPP protocol better in my opinion.

    Personally I don't know that much about it but I briefly looked into what it would take to write a client for Matrix a few years ago and it seemed pretty daunting to work with. Maybe it would be possible to write software that implements more Discord features on top of XMPP to have something that works more smoothly.

  • “When I asked ChatGPT, it said that if I transferred stolen money to an account tied to my losses, and if I was then caught for theft, police would naturally investigate the fraud along with the theft.”

    One thing I've noticed is that AI in general expresses a delusional level of trust in established authorities.

  • The technique of taking random input and putting it in a prompt where you insist it means something is actually pretty good, helps a bit with the problem of LLMs being very uncreative.

  • The term 'vibe coding' I think was originally about generating and using code without understanding it

  • Now I'm trying to figure out what dirty joke I accidentally made

  • which is the point of bestiality laws

    If that were true our laws around meat farming would be very different

  • investigation into the violent rape of a woman in 2016 on a remote cul-de-sac

    ...

    That led them to the home of a state prison guard named John Edward Kurtz.

    Don't tell any prison guards about DuckDuckGo I guess

  • There's also a commercial logic and interest to that, maintaining the brand of the state as a tourist destination, where unmarred natural beauty is seen as an economic commons, and the lack of billboards being something that people may be indirectly willing to pay for. Pictures of the state that do not feature billboards are themselves advertisements for its local businesses.

    You have people who find ads annoying in themselves and would have a positive attitude towards some ban or another, but these people aren't especially organized or informed about it. It's only actually getting done when this aligns with economic actors who stand to benefit, and probably inevitable that whatever shape an advertising ban takes will have been crafted with the advancement of some particular business interest in mind.

  • Whether the porn has good or bad politics won’t actually change whether or not they believe we need to be kept away from children

    I don't know how much it would actually effect it either way but it definitely determines whether whatever narrative and characterization is present implies it. If it's furry porn it is way less likely to have the typical hentai theme of woman + penis = uncontrollable sexual aggression for instance.
