  • Where is this id available, are websites provided the windows id of their users?

  • A little bit infuriating since huggingface itself requires login to access a large portion of the content on their site

  • I didn't realize voles got that big

  • The impracticality of transporting planet sized volumes of gold across the galaxy seems like a big problem for its usefulness as money

  • People get upset if you try to say they aren't real

  • Terms like "white" are flexible enough to mean whatever the fascist dictatorship wants them to mean at the time, so this is more or less the same as making the constitution optional.

  • Some solid objections to this in the comments:

    I'm sorry, anti-war transgender person stuck in Russia, but from our moral stance, you shouldn't be able to purchase HRT from a lab using your XMR wallet. nor should your friend be able to pay for their foreign VPN VDS that they use to bypass the internet restrictions in USDT. the projects you used for this were hosted on Codeberg and not some other platform? well, too bad, they'll have to go someplace else that minds your existence or is welcoming to cryptocurrency as a whole, and you will wait.

    Although confusingly it seems they are claiming their rule change where the text says cryptocurrency projects are banned does not actually mean that cryptocurrency projects are banned: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1254#issuecomment-19923979

  • The article doesn't make its point very coherently especially near the end and is probably AI, but I think it kind of makes sense if you assume individual attitudes towards bad-faith media affect whether bullshit is successful, in context of the idea that the core problem is that people's susceptibility to bullshit selects for the most egregious bullshitters.

  • This classical model frequently positioned memory and recall as both the central enablers of, and bottlenecks in, software development.

    Today’s AI-powered coding assistants are changing that. These tools function as external memory systems, offloading syntax recall, boilerplate generation, and API usage from human to machine memory.

    This is a good way of putting it imo

  • When I was a kid I had a friend borrow my bike and watched him do this (slamming on the front brakes and being flipped over the handlebars), fortunately he wasn't injured, but I was mad because the front reflector broke off. In retrospect, it was worth it because I learned the easy way that you definitely should not do that.

    Also that the default design of bike brakes is probably less safe for left handed people, since the front brakes are commonly on the left, but it's important to put more pressure sooner on the back brakes.

  • I think some people believe admitting fault is a sign of weakness, but I find it’s more of a power move.

    Yep. Potentially unethical protip: a lot easier to admit you're wrong when you make claims carelessly to begin with.

  • I feel like you at least have to look into things enough to confirm that the arguments against you aren't bullshit, it's good to admit you're wrong when you're actually wrong but not so good when your debate opponent has just figured out how to make the argument too exhausting to continue. It's also an option to stop responding without conceding anything.

    A common example is, someone links to a source that they claim proves all their points. Often the source doesn't say that at all, and they are banking on nobody taking the time to actually read it. If you admit you're wrong in this situation you just propagate misinformation.

  • It requires following a guide to directly edit some files iirc but technically it isn't true that a Kobo ereader requires an account to use

  • we've listened to them and heard them out, what we're trying to do is find this balance. We believe in a world where we can have safety and privacy.”

    lol

  • I rant about the grasshoppers eating the lettuce in my garden box

  • Community and instance level blocks are especially helpful, since this stuff is most concentrated in particular places

  • There's a few plants that have nice flowers and don't grow tall enough that I'd get fined for, so I try to mow around those

  • I would trust the media recommendations of someone on drugs personally

  • You don't think frontier AI models are leaving some out deliberately?
