I guess, but it sounds like a very dumb word so I would use it to describe anything good or serious

To each their own I guess

DuckDuckGo has been giving me poor results lately - especially when I look for news, everything is a redirect to Bing now - so I instead use Brave Search. It’s kind of disappointing since DDG had always worked great for me

Yea they are so weird and annoying

So, why is electron a bad idea?

I wasn’t talking about that, but the weird history shame/cancellation movement

So they really aren’t herbivores?

for me, for example, it means “people who are all over their head with cancel culture”; it also means people [who use the word] are probably a bunch of far right crazies.

So overall I guess it’s a way to describe the two far ends of the same thing

People don’t become like this,

TIL

Is this page listed as well?

micropenis!

I hope I will duck off before we go full dystopian

Stormtroopers are robots!

Jokes aside, you don’t have to have everything explained to understand something. Yes, they didn’t show the bodies but you with a little use from logic you can see that Leia complaining about her pacific, weaponless planet being blown means it’s not desert. Same goes for the Death Star on which you see there are people until a few seconds later where it blows up. Same goes for everything.

Sure, maybe a kid won’t pick it up but that doesn’t mean Star Wars was light hearted in the OT

Mine stayed the same lol, I was scammed

Suure, Aalderan is in the sequel; Death Star 1 and 2 is in the sequel; Obi Wan cut the limbs off a few aliens in the first half of A New Hope. Slavery is shown with Princess Leia in the third instalment of OT. There are more women in the same scene with basically no clothes that make you think they aren't "just" slaves. And I almost forgot, Han gets tortured in Ep 5 as well

Like, the hell are you smoking lol

I mean, in Lion King and Land Before Time do:

• people get slaughtered?
• limbs get cut?
• younglings get slayed?
• there is slavery
• there is a fascist regime

If yes, then yes they aren't light-hearted movies. You consider SW a light hearted movie just cause you haven't put much of a thought behind what things really are, but SW isn't light hearted at all lol. Unless, that is, for you that stuff is light hearted, but then I dunno what you may consider not light hearted

This alongside most eastern members, so it clearly is more than just a "next election" move; surely that plays a part, as always, but the problem is objective and is there.

Ukraine economy is guaranteed by both EU and US, so they don't need to trade their grain in Europe.

From the article:

On Wednesday, Zelenskiy used his speech to the UN general assembly to accuse the countries of hypocrisy and acting in Russia’s interests. “It’s alarming to see how some in Europe play out solidarity in a political theatre – making a thriller from the grain,” he said. “They may seem to play their own role but in fact they are helping set the stage to a Moscow actor.”

Accusing people that have been handing out resources to your country to be Moscow's shill is gaslighting and, frankly, pathetic.

Why should we ban AI, a really useful technology, also for co-collaboration within the Arts, just because some people will make money with it? Art has been constant copypaste remixing anyhow.

I said ban for creative works, at least for commercial use, which is a very little part of what can be done with AI; and maybe personal informations processing though, cause you know... privacy

Why would anyone read GOT in space when they can just read GOT? The people opting for GOT in space will most likely already have read GOT anyhow

Because it won't be called GoT: space edition, it will be a rip-off of GoT with the same overarching story and characters but in a scifi/whatever setting. And yes, it already happens: many TV series on Netflix are a rip off of other successful series (most of the time produced by Netflix), which flood the platform; it happens with every single successful serie. You can find dozens if not more of the same, fucking, TV serie with a different name but with the same old jokes, characters, plot point and sometime style.

Why do people watch them anyway? For the same reason cable TV is so trash: cheap entertainment works, no matter how shitty it is; it happens with anime/manga/light novels too.

And yes, it is shitty. But at least it takes time to write and produce that crap, while with AI it will be immediate and cheap. Cheap and immediate means they will produce so much crap, finding quality stuff will be nigh impossible since it will cost much much more to produce with less earnings than garbage.

It will never surpass the original

I think you don't watch, play games et similia... originality is a luxury nowadays. Why do you think Netflix cancels every single serie that isn't a hit in the first few months? Cause they can. It is cheaper and lucrative to cancel what doesn't work and re-iterate on the same shitty formula until the crap sticks on the wall. And it works, they do it, and they do it now.

Also copyright should never forbid someone to write in the style of someone else. How would you even proove it?

It's already happening. Before, humans used to do the exact same. Why is it be different now with AI? It's just more and faster imo.

This is quite easy actually, while it's hard for technical things. Taking inspiration doesn't mean copying. Modern "AI" doesn't think, which means anything it does is a copy.

We are already reaching, if we aren't already, a Fahrenheit 451 level of entertainment, "AI" will surely put the final nail on the coffin.

"AI" are a beautiful thing, but in our current society, where profits is everything and people are nothing but a number, they are the scariest shit ever

It is likely that we will reach a point where these ML things will recognise patterns across creative works, see what sell and use them to make similar stories using those same patterns.

Which is clear they will sell more since they will be cheaper, faster to make thus flooding the market with engaging-but-unoriginal stories.

Imagine: a GOT in space, a GOT in fantasy, a mix between Star Wars and GOT, and so on. And they will always sell cause GoT is engaging, but none will be original but a soulless copy of the original GoT (for which Martin won’t see a buck).

Tbf, i think it would be better to ban this kind of “AI” - like ChatGPT, or the ones for the art et similia - from “producing” creative work - at least creative work to be sold - but capitalism gotta capitalise I guess.

EDIT: to be fair right now the main concern is about copyrighted creative work, but probably it’s the easier to ascertain if it’s been copied or not: take for example programming code, there are very few ways to know if a copyrighted code has been used and it will probably show how copyright is SO dumb and fallacious for technical and whatnot fields

in the original trilogy billions of people were killed, tortured, enslaved and all of that; in the prequel trilogy, it’s just as bad… Star Wars was never “light hearted”, just silly at times

2 millions troopers died on Death Star!

They are scared for the future, not the present. And considering the growth speed, it’s a warranted fear

Yeah, it’s obvious this is about the grain (or)deal. It’s so unnerving of Ukraine to pull this shit tbf, and kinda dumb too since it’s quite obvious that pissing off people who are giving you resources isn’t very smart - to say the least

In the app settings, appearance tab we have an accent colour option. There we can pick a css colour for the accents, which colours some icons etc.

If only they released it for PCs as well

“P-please be gentle, Xbox-kun”

“Don’t worry, PS-chan” he caressed her cheek “it will be fine. I love you.”

“I love you too…” she softly whispered, letting a loud squeak go a moment later — her cheekbones blushing of a gentle, celestial blue

— Fuck you for making me think about this cursed crap

that would change nothing to you. Unless they are seriously consuming a lot of memory and filling up processes while not needed, then it’s fine. Otherwise it means the app was developed by a bunch of monkey, but that could happen - maybe even more likely - with native software as well.

Tldr: to the end user it changes literally nothing nowadays, to the companies and the devs it changes quite a lot. And to some degree, end-users won’t have to deal with shitty ugly apps (unless the designers are jerks, in which case you are probably working in the same company as me)

Your kernel allocates all the ram anyway lol, it literally changes nothing to you

I use both daily, never noticed a problem. MacBook Pro M1 with 8GB ram. Eight!

Making a normal app costs much more than making an electron app, so I press X

Have you ever had, in good conscience, a problem caused by an electron app using too much resources?

Because we are, again, in 2023: the standard is 16GB of RAM, with CPUs much more powerful and with a lot of more cores and thread per cores than the past. Complaining about a PC resources being used when these doesn’t actually create a problem is like complaining about GUI being bloat; or JS/CSS being bloat.

This of course doesn’t mean electron is perfect, cause it clearly isn’t, but it’s a good enough solution that can be iterated upon (see Tauri) and improved (the DX on electron is shit). Nor that every app should be in electron.

How will you know you are deficient in B6?

Acsually, modern society is more puritan than early-mid medieval

lmao, yea. Besides, it’s not like electron is that bad either. We aren’t in 1990, why would you care if electron uses a gb of ram or ten processes or this or that… they think that native means good, but more often than not native means a shitty ugly unusable application that will work (not really) just on windows

It’s technically still an exclusive if you consider windows IS Microsoft. That is, it will run on Linux obviously

She has 10 years to walk to the border and casually hop on the other side. She would be granted asylum in no time

Isn’t it safer for her to flee the country?

Wait, I didn’t mean accent colour in texts but the ones you can select in the appearance page, which changes components and icons colors. That wouldn’t require HTML injection nor markdown, would it?

I only got quite simple tests tbf, but I don’t look for senior positions. Main thing is to just get the problem solved writing decent code (if it’s a home assignment) or to walk them through your reasonings

The only time I got a leetcode waste of time it was a Dijsktra/A* problem (which I failed)

Why? Tech tests are fine, absurd complex tests for shitty jobs are not
