the 70/30 principle: AI handles 70% of execution, the human provides the 30% that matters.

Shouldn’t you have had a human check that before going live, given the 70/30 principle?

Full writeup with forensic details, the remediation comedy, and the 70/30 framework: mpdc.dev/the-locksmiths-apprentice I document everything — wins and losses — because someone building their first self-hosted stack shouldn’t have to learn this the hard way.

I don’t think they should learn from you, either, to be fair.

You sound like what a twelve year old imagines sociopaths are.

I didn’t. Your asterisk and clarification was ambiguous.

Noon is when the sun is highest in the sky.

Solar noon is, yes. But in most places, solar noon and 12 PM are at different times.

It’s night from sunset until dawn. And if someone said “in the morning” I would never interpret that as meaning before dawn.

It is controversial, because one definition of “morning” is dawn to noon and another is midnight to noon. And saying “night” is “sunset to midnight” is also new because you just came up with that.

The fisherman is being fished by someone above the panel and the bait is the iPhone.

Those two statements aren’t synonymous at all, but also, yes.

Everything that you do as part of a process to create non-AI art, as soon as there is a digital component (even if the digital component isn’t in the end product), can be done as part of a process involving AI art. The only difference is that non-AI art doesn’t have the flexibility of using the tools available to AI artists.

If anything, the skill floor is lower for AI art, because you can much more easily churn out something that looks technically good at a glance with a single prompt, but the ceiling is higher, because you literally have more skills available to combine when creating your finished product.

(This of course assumes that you consider any art created with GenAI art in the process to be GenAI art, regardless of what else was involved, but most people with a hardline stance that creating GenAI art takes no skill would agree with that statement.)

The way I read it, he was making it hard to remove the empty sidebar after blocking the ads in it.

I’m confused what your issue is with the dev. He seems to have posted because uBO was breaking the site for premium users and then got told “just stop monetizing effectively.” Only one reply (don’t use such an obnoxious way to insert the ad sidebar) was actually helpful, though it was at odds with part of his monetization strategy (pay for Premium to get that extra space).

If uBO devs had said “Sure, give this account premium access and we’ll check it out” and he’d refused, that would be different, but instead they said there was nothing he could do to help them and banned him from participating.

It also doesn’t seem that he’s intentionally breaking the app when uBO is in use. Rather, uBO breaks the app when ads aren’t being served and he is now detecting when this happens and serving a message about the fact.

Does anyone know of similar image editors out there that can batch-crop images in a certain aspect ratio/resolution and then export them to webp?

Not similar, but Image Magick can crop images from the cli and has webp support.

You should consider talking to a therapist about why you don’t consider non-romantic relationships to be valuable, because your take is not only not universal, but also indicative that you have some shit you need to work through.

My first thought was that ending the taxes at land ownership was shortsighted - all capital should be taxed - but then I looked up Georgism on Wikipedia and saw that that was basically already in scope (mostly by “including title of ownership for natural resources and other contrived privileges (e.g., intellectual property)”).

Other people have computers - friends, family, etc… Libraries, hotel and apartment lobbies, community centers, etc., frequently have them available for free use.

Doesn’t their API also require you to allow-list IPs, making it basically useless for dynamic DNS?

From https://www.namecheap.com/support/api/intro/ under “Whitelisting IP.”

How do you define “intelligence,” precisely?

Is my dog intelligent? What about a horse or dolphin? Macaws or chimpanzees?

Human brains do a number of different things behind the scenes, and some of those things look an awful lot like AI. Do you consider each of them to be intelligence, or is part of intelligence not enough to call it intelligence?

If you don’t consider it sufficient to say that part of intelligence is itself “intelligence,” then can you at least understand that some people do apply metonymy when saying the word “intelligence?”

If I convinced you to consider it or if you already did, then can you clarify:

The thing with machine learning is that it is inexplicable, much like parts of the human brain is inexplicable. Algorithms can be explained and understood, but machine learning, and its efficacy with problem spaces as they get larger and it’s fed more and more data, isn’t truly understood even by people who work deeply with it. These capabilities allow them to solve problems that are otherwise very difficult to solve algorithmically - similar to how we solve problems. Unless you think you have a deeper understanding than they do, how can you, as you claim, understand machine learning and its capabilities well enough to say that it is not at least similar to a part of intelligence?

If you’re using the screen on the front of your fridge and your fridge’s built-in buttons, if your computer is in the door or walls of the fridge as opposed to just chilling on a shelf like a leftover burrito, if your computer doesn’t have its own distinct power source, and if your fridge continues to cool your food like a fridge… why not?

No, it’s not running entirely on the fridge’s hardware at that point, but you did basically hack your fridge to be able to play Crysis.

In this case it does all of the above and also triggers device functionality based off of game events.

Personally I didn’t think the pregnancy test one really counted, either, but I’m with you on this one. This isn’t just “I put Doom on a sex toy,” but “I put Doom on a sex toy and used game events to trigger its functionality,” which is a level above.

Also looking at the pregnancy test one now I might change my mind. They did use a different microcontroller and screen, but the pregnancy test already had a microcontroller inside it; it just wasn’t programmable. If the replacement microcontroller and screen had the same specs as the old one, it’s more than fair to call that a win IMO. At that point, it’s the same hardware, after all.

In the game, this happens even when housing is available and affordable - the bug is that the homeless people are wealthy and there are vacant, affordable houses that they can move into, they just choose to be homeless. There isn’t even a markup from landlords, because an update already deleted them.

In real life, the problem is that we still have landlords. Idk why we don’t just delete them like the game devs did.

Why do you think that an entity or set of entities capable of simulating the entirety of our existence would have their creativity capped in a way that’s meaningful to us?

We can’t infer the rules directly from this information, but we can draw conclusions about what they wouldn’t be.

Can you give an example of a rule for a containing reality that you think we could rule out?

Yeah, this is just an issue with the Lemmy post’s title. The article is clear that 15% are using controllers now, up from 5% in 2018.

It’s largely the first one, at least according to The Man Who Killed Google Search.
