I’ve already heard of the name before, I know them for their police body cameras. One can make an argument that Axon’s systems don’t have the same extensive and interconnected surveillance network that Flock has, but the same type of data on people’s personal lives seems to be collected for a similar end-purposes which is the problem, more than the specific brand of the tech.

Plus, what’s stopping Flock from acquiring Axon and obtaining the data that way?

Get ready to Drain AIPAC’s Funds Again

I still can’t say it wouldn’t be worth it at $1.5k for people that really wanted to get into VR… but unfortunately my price limit is $750 US for me to consider a launch day order, and obviously that ain’t happening. With component prices being what they are, it’s not realistic for me to expect any lower anymore.

But the best I can hope for is a memory crash and DRAM makers come scrambling back to fill the sinkhole void from the collapsing circular financing cycle. Today that’s just a pipe dream.

They aren’t in it for me, but Micron nor SK Hynix give any shits about me either.

I don’t think so, domestic electronics manufacturers have an enormous need for memory that is performant but doesn’t necessarily need the top-of-the-line, and probably China’s government is pushing to reduce the need for imported memory components from Korea or Taiwan as well, so demand for production is there coming from both the private and public sector.

Is it hijiki? Seems to match a least some parts of your description. It’s a traditional Japanese dish (other east Asian cultures as well), kind of sweet, uses sauce and boiled vegetables. It also has tofu in it.

Micron doesn’t seem interested in competing for consumer memory anyway, since they exited the consumer memory market. Latent demand exists for memory at not-outrageous prices so good for CXMT for filling that niche.

Witness the peak of meritocracy…

Double his sanctions everytime Trump’s lawyers put forward another frivolous “expedited” motion.

Decompiling. Use ILSpy for games coded in .NET for example. You take a .dll for the game that you think contains the code that controls the behaviour you want to change. You decompile it. You change the code and recompile it. Then you replace the original .dll with your new one.

Sounds easy, but the tricky thing is that decompilers only parse what the code does, and if the code was compressed of obfuscated, it usually doesn’t provide what the coder called the variables and functions to indicate what they were for. So a function that was coded as:

function damagePlayer(characterRef *Player, int damage) {
*Player.health = *Player.health - damage;
}

It will look like this after decompilation:

function func238(objRef *var4748, int local1) {
*var4748.param35 = *var4748.param35 - local1;
}

So a lot of the effort is interpreting what these functions actually do then replacing the generic names. The hints come from when they are called (if the game can be debugged, you use breakpoints to pause the program when that code is called).

If there is a common engine or way programs are compiled, people develop libraries that work for many games, and all you have to do is have the library hook into the spots of each game where it does the common things like load resources or manage global variables, to have them loaded from a separate additional files rather than replacing everything (See BepinEx for example). Then that saves people work from having to compile and replace files themselves, and they can get right to changing the code where they want to. Then more modding tools make the earlier modding tools easier to use, so on and so forth.

I think you are falsely being accused of being an alt account of one of the admins of your Lemmy site.

As far as I can tell, your posting habit or style haven’t changed in any way since certain events related to that admin.

Thanks, that is helpful.

What else could I do for you, besides saying, “that sucks, friend”? Asking seriously.

• I can offer you advice based on my own experience, that may or may not work for you.
• I can refer you to talk to someone who has a professional degree in studying feelings, who may be able to help you with better advice than me or prescribe drugs.
• I can sit, nod, pat you on the back through words.

If it is someone I know in person, I’d try to send them care package based on what I would think they liked.

Wonderful, and even better with you in it!

The false positive from non-determinsm would appear, if you provide instructions “don’t give me a cat, ever!” it will return a cat sometimes if it is related in the model’s weights.

But yes perhaps the platform can run a filter that rejects nsfw output for any model that is being run as a demonstration on their servers, but it can’t really prevent people downloading a model and setting up an environment that makes nude image edits themselves.

It’s hard for me to figure out what HF as a platform can do here. What specific signal can be vetted to prevent this? Since models are non-deterministic I don’t know if keyword filters would even work.

To me this is different than Grok because Grok is a tool embedded in Xitter, that grabs the photos posted on the same platform to create the nasty images, so because the platform and tool are working in concert, X and Grok should be shut down over it if that function can’t be disabled.

On the other hand they only need a simple majority to confirm a Supreme Court majority of buffoons that don’t actually give a shit about the Constitution or even internal consistency, over their pet project to turn their country into an authoritarian state.

It’s too bad that this had to be a big drama, but:

No one is talking about the Piefed vote quotas anymore, so you’re welcome.

More than once I brought this up as comparison on the difference between an unpopular default based on the main developer’s needs, that was announced and detailed in changelogs, that can be toggled and worked around, instead of a control-freak’s grudges manifesting as a hidden shadowban list. We lost a very friendly power user (PugJesus) from the Piefed change, but unfortunately sometimes that is the price of it.

Wanting a less-toxic fediverse is a totally normal thing, users and admins have many of the tools already for that, and I respect devs for trying to do their part. But it is the dishonest way of implementing it that no one is a fan of, and that makes everyone question this dev’s character. If this person could at the very least own up to it, call it well-intentioned error, and respond to the problem with solutions rather than a crashout, then this wouldn’t need to be as big of a deal.

Lemmy is bandwagony but in politics you have to live with a little bit of it. I’ve said anti- and pro-feminist stuff, made anti- and pro-trans arguments while trying to be empathetic as I can, made cold, warm and hot takes, toed the line and went against the grain, got lots of up and down votes. I try to pushback against gatekeeping and purity tests, play devil’s advocate, and when I’m not shitposting, try to steelman arguments I don’t agree with. People are imperfect, I try to avoid to assign guilt by association, people will think differently about things than I do, I respect their opinions while still disagree with, and I’ll take downvotes on the chin for defending different that.

Following best practice would be ideal, I agree with you, but for FOSS projects I can settle for best effort, and ability to configure/correct any serious errors if it is brought up constructively. Every dev has their own biases and they make tools to fit their needs, not necessarily everyones. Like if it was by accident that a personal filter was pushed to all instances, and then immediately fixed when made public, personally, I could forgive the dev for the mistake. But available evidence shows this was not a mistake, and intentionally hiding things this dev didn’t like, pushing the upstream changes without telling anyone.

You might have to worry about that, like at most, once a month, for going places where you wouldn’t already have been familiar with charging places including backups if one is closed.
