This is a place for genuine pursuit of knowledge. You’re asking in bad faith to pursuit an agenda. Which is against rule 1 and 5 of this community. Also, snarky replies are not welcomed. Either take the topic seriously or go to a meme community.

Patients lying about symptoms have been a medical issue for centuries. It is the main topic of Baudrillard’s philosophical analysis on simulacra and simulation. Think about it, a soldier who doesnt want to be deployed starts simulating symptoms of a disease to be discharged. How would you catch him, can you? The answer seems straight forward, until you scrutinize it in detail. Neither military or medical knowledge actually have an answer. The kid who doesn’t want to go to school says he has a headache and a tummy ache. How do you validate another’s conscious and sensory experience? Hypochondriacs affirm to develop every disease they hear about. People under stress feel and have somatic symptoms akin to physical diseases, even when functionally nothing is wrong with them. Etcetera. Disease and diagnosis are not so simple and straight forward, not even when talking about bodily functions.

That’s mostly irrelevant because Apollo didn’t have computers landing the ships. They were humans. Astronauts trained hard to achieve that. Computers only flew the initial takeoff and ascent. An IBM computer that stayed behind with the rocket. But Armstrong landed that bird on the moon by hand.

Also, while the on board computer allowed them to consolidate sensor input, and calculate and execute burn maneuvers (relatively easy tasks), everything was double and triple checked by mission control back on earth. With way more powerful, faster and capable computers. Anything that required reflexes or finesse was done by a human hand on a joystick.

This is why all those attempts are impressive even if ultimately failed some way or the other. Because they are autonomous landers. A technology that didn’t exist until the turn of the millennium.

Yeah, but they caught that one on the rise, changing from tower defense to battle royale. While extraction shooters are already old news.

I know, since 2024. I’ve seen what they did, and their windows tiling and snap management is still egregiously inferior to almost every other desktop environment. So much so that people still pay for the app because it is so much better than default macOS, adding shortcuts, for example.

It is pure mind control though. You can argue that peaceful and civilized societies need individuals who repress and restrict themselves, morally or otherwise, to survive. But that doesn’t change the fact that religion is a mechanism to indoctrinate and assimilate repression. Pure and simple.

Fox and now Disney made such a good job of erasing it from memory that it has been almost forgotten. But here in this video you can still see how it was back in 1977. Also, other very subtle stylistic choices on font, crawl movement, etc. that were changed for the re-releases. Modern streaming versions are also different from the ones originally on theaters.

Apple’s UI has always been a joke. A case of looks pretty but is actually annoying and impractical to use. The greatest Apple joke is that you need to pay for a third party app to get basic window snapping. That is just one of many UI issues. It does look nice on screenshots though.

Artemis II landed yesterday after returning from orbiting the moon. In a test flight mission that marks the beginning for long term plans for a lunar station, a base of operations for going to mars.

See the difference between “some people” and ALL of LLMs.

Not to you, although I would bet it has done so to someone. The main issue is though, if you asked an LLM to write arguments for a flat earth, it would do so. Convincingly and insistent, without even questioning or critically analyzing why. Ask it to compare and balance arguments both ways. And it will do so as if both positions were equally real and valid.

It has no notion of reality and no convictions of its own.

It will also hallucinate fake papers and quote people that don’t exists to make its argument.

PS: most poignantly, the point of the paper is that it says, over and over, “this information is false, this disease doesnt exist. All of this is made up”. Unlike the other problematic papers quoted on this comment thread that were published with conviction by the authors, and later were retracted. Yet the LLM is unable to parse that tidbit of information. It is not as smart as the most stupid. It simply is not intelligent, not even as intelligent as the most stupid humans. You can tell it, the following sentence is false, and it is not smart enough to pick up on that meaning.

Poignantly, not AAA.

When your miss your exit and the next one is in 20 km.

This is not a generational thing. Trying to make it a generational thing is meant to cause divide and deviate discussions about privacy away from the real culprits. Tech megacorporations. Users cannot be held liable for failing to fight indoctrination and propaganda. The proper answer is compassion, education and advocacy. Infighting and arguing only empowers the oppressor. Don’t play into their hands by making it a generational thing.

Quite the opposite. Meeks claims that this was some sort of conspiracy against him and others. Also that the announcement was unforeseen, or that it is a sort of feud. An admission of the utter failure of the document foundation, and a lot of other butthurt comments, etc.

While this post clearly states that he was most likely part of the conversation from the beginning. That some of those participating were acting in bad faith with finger pointing and holding on to unethical priviledges. That this is a symptom of a much bigger, systemic and older legal problem than Collabora itself. And that this is just part of trying to make things right and ensuring the legal survival of TDF as a nonprofit organization.

These kind of conversations do get a bit heated up. But Meeks do reek of trying to play victim in a situation that extends beyond himself and still seems likely to be partially his responsibility. Maybe Collabora is right in some way to be angry at TDF. However, all their communications have been very sour in tone and lacking in transparency.

We should wait to see which way the dust settles.

It’s probably just plagiarizing an article that used the turn of phrase to refer to spaghetti code. Or, just as likely, copying directly an article about the code leak.

Never let perfection be the enemy of good. Yes, the disappearance of Trump wouldn’t be a permanent solution forever of the US fascism. But an improvement is an improvement. A fight for freedom and justice is eternal, there will always be a new shit head trying to drag nations into authoritarian fascism. The point is that we keep pushing for change.

Evil greatest ally is apathy.

Well, that’s if they were on a bicycle, but they’re standing on a paddle board over the ice. Why would they stand on a bicycle? that doesn’t make sense. Neither does a paddle board on ice, but I already lost track of what the metaphor was about.

Truenas apps are just docker containers that were written by someone else anyways. You can always just turn them into a custom app and see it’s internal composition, o just make a custom app and choose the image and settings yourself exactly like in portainer.

Veto power is supposed to represent nuclear power. The logic is that it is way better for a country to veto a resolution than it bombing another country because they got pissy.

I always remind people that the UN’s mission is not to solve all the world’s problems, but to stop countries from tearing each other apart and avoiding all out nuclear mutual annihilation. So far, it has succeeded.

I also hate that it has no teeth against modern issues, like genocides of non nation state peoples. But genocide didn’t even exist as a concept when it was created. The concept was coined by a Jewish legalist who scaped the holocaust.

BTW, same dude hated the guts of Zionist israel and warned that an ethnostate would lead to genocide eventually. He was 100% right.
