Usually it’s a case of a well thought out decent post, but then you scroll down to comments and it’s “men are trash” and etc, so you end up with a bunch of fighting, which detracts from the original point.

Prolly would be better if “comments on this are disabled” was more common practice.

Or if administrative systems actually punished people heavily for saying stuff like “(any group of people) are trash”

Weird take.

People can care about and discuss more than one thing at a time.

Maybe, but the intersection of this group and certain plane trips to a certain island is suspicious.

One vehicle delivering 2 peoples food is better than 2 people driving out to get food, tbh.

Overall delivery drivers substantially reduce traffic.

For more deliverable stuff like packages, 1 delivery truck delivery 40 peoples packages in one trip us so much better than 40 individual households all driving to Walmart or whatever.

I am fine with the majority of traffic just being delivery vehicles and public transit, those are the two actually effective uses for vehicles at the public level.

I’ve been looking for th8s for awhile too.

Not a locally run tool, but a self hosted web app (that I wire up to my self hosted db) that has a web portal I login to, and then can manage my db with a nice slick UI to define tables, relations, etc.

There’s been some I’ve found but they vastly lacked basic features and were clearly in very early beta.

Technichally yes, SQL is an API.

Not a RESTful one, nor an HTTP one, but SQL over a socket is very much a type of API…

But I’m guessing we meant an HTTP RESTful API in which case god I hope not

Can you expand on this, particularly with how it relates to my post? I wrote specific questions I wanted to talk about and hear people’s thoughts on.

As a ferret owner who has witnessed many a weasel war dance, my running theory us that it’s actually a trick to cloak their smell.

A large amount of war dancing involves them rolling around on the ground, as if to rub as much of their body and fur into the ground as they can.

If they did that out in the wild, it’s easy to see how this would potentially temporarily cloak their smell in dust and dirt and, right before they go after their prey. It also would probably kick up a bunch of dust into the wind too, which could further mask their approach.

A lot of weasel small prey targets primarily use smell as an early detection. If the weasel has effectively cloaked themselves, it could get them an extra second or two of closing the gap before their prey notices them, which could be a big part of why they’re just so dang good at hunting.

Ferrets are, in fact, such effective hunters, the British government many centuries ago put restrictions on Ferreting (the usage of ferrets to hunt with) cuz it was so efficient it was causing depopulation problems.

I use Hugo, it’s not super complicated.

You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.

You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.

That’s about all there is to it, it’s a pretty minimalist static site generator.

Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.

Well yeah, I’d hope so, that’s the entire point.

Catcha’s data collection always was with the intent for training ai on these skills. That’s “the point” of them.

It’s reasonable to expect that the older version of captchas can now be beaten by modern ai, because they’re often literally trained on that exact data to beat it.

Captcha effectively is free to use on websites as a tool because the data collection is the “payment”, they then license that data out to people like OpenAI to train with for stuff like image recognition.

It’s why ai is progressing so fast, captchas are one of humanity’s long term collected data silos that are very full now.

We are going to have to keep progressing the complexity of catches as it will be the only way to catch modern AIs, and in turn it will collect more data to improve it.

Not quite.

It’s mostly wisdom of the crowd, as it always has been.

As long as you mostly click the same squares most other people click, you pass.

You often at random get 2-3 images because 2 of them are actual checks, but the third is a new image that you auto pass and they’re using it to gather data on what the average clicks are on it.

Sounds like a real story, and definitely not the sour grapes rambling of a racist incel…

I haven’t seen anything that indicates there is, so he’s not wrong.

While there’s links between depression and social media use, I haven’t seen anything causal determined.

It could be the other way around, that people are more likely to use social media when feeling depressed.

It’s very difficult to prove if a correlation is causal.

That would be what causal means mate.

What in the fake news is this?

“Our AI doesn’t make mistakes,” he declared, his smile as frozen as a crashed computer. “If it detected 37 eye-rolls, then that’s a clear violation of our new zero-tolerance policy on micro-aggressions.”

This is clearly fake as fuck, wtf even is this site?

Seems like a bunch of AI generated garbage meant to incite people.

Ew.

Because having people download static map data for the entire planet just to play a game is untenable.

You shouldn’t have to download the entire planet though.

The game 100% should support installing local specific areas you wanna fly around, that anyone could then keep a copy of.

If a user wanted to cache an entire 8 TB of the entire world on a drive, they should be able to just do that (and thus have forever support without worrying about internet services staying online)

At least, as a snapshot of what the world looked like in 2024.

I don’t see why users shouldn’t have the option to locally HD save the data if they want to, to avoid maxing out their internet bandwidth in one sitting.

“Move Fast and Break Things” is Zuckerberg/Facebook motto, not Musk, just to note.

No, not really. That’s above and beyond being poly, we both are only really interested in life long partners, thus we fit so well with each other.

We’ve both agreed we doubt we would ever meet someone even one of us clicks with and meets us where we are at, we’ve both just spent so kych time and effort growing together that we’re extremely far along in experience and maturity. We’re getting married next year, as we’ve just accepted it’s gonna just be the two of us.

We’re okay with that, but I wanted to hear how other folks feel about this themselves, we aren’t unhappy with our lives, we’re doing awesome.

But I think it’s definitely an interesting thing to talk about, if people have had a serious commited “expansion” of the relationship “late game” if you will, and if it actually worked out.

For the relationship where everyone is with everyone, and the introduction of a new person requires everyone to be into them (and thus each addition becomes exponentially more and more unlikely, as the group gets bigger), I refer to this as a “Pod”, where its all one unit of people together.

Whereas when its not everyone connected to everyone, and its more open ended and people come and go, I refer to that as a Polycule (from Molecule), as in a “chain” of connections.

Typically the former simply just never gets very big, because it inherently gets very strained as it grows beyond even 4-5 people at most. Humans just cant sustain that many intimate relationships at once.

Polycules can go infinite though, cause any one specific individual in the “chain” of people can simply just be with only 2 or maybe 3 themselves, but that infinite chaining can just go on and on and on, without any individual even knowing how far it even goes.

I personally am not into polycules, Ive never seen one actually sustain and long term, every single polycule Ive witnessed disintegrates and fractures over time into different groups, it can get petty, people can get hurt, I just personally try to steer clear of such stuff cuz Ive yet to actually see someone long term defy the pattern Ive seen.

And by long term I mean 10+ years.

If the polycule is purely transient and people can just float in and out and everyone involved is cool with that, thats fine, but I consider that less of a polycule at that point and more just a bunch of open relationships. To be a Polycule in my eyes it has to have longevity and be non transient, each individual “link” of the chain is people going steady. A whole buncha people just having transient relationships, friends with benefits, one night stands, etc, thats not a polycule, thats just swinging.

Which is cool and I dont hate on it, but it’s just not the same thing and I try to ensure that distinction in lexicon is consistent.

Despite Steam being proprietary, Proton (it’s emulation system) is so profoundly stable I feel like it’s a necessary evil at this time.

I haven’t found a single “windows” game yet in my library that doesn’t work with steam
