LMAO XD I thought that was a typo, nah cows are herd based, I don’t think they even truly have territories the same way

But yeah, crows are dope

I don’t know of any documentaries, there’s probably some stuff on YouTube. It is really interesting learning about crow social structures through, we’re looking at it from the outside, but it sure sounds like some form of basic government to me

Well…I mean … That’s fair.

If you woke me up a year ago to ask my opinion on the last three months, you’d have to spend an hour filling me in on details and then give me a few minutes to myself before I finally asked you to repeat what you wanted to ask me

You can definitely do it with prompt breaking - it could be as simple as phrasing the conversation at a hypothetical or as nuanced as convincing the llm you’re an AI expert testing the capabilities of the AI to reason using new information

But in all fairness, this timeline is beyond absurdity, the AIs reaction seems reasonable

Yes, it should. Artists should be able to live without justifying their existence to the economy, everyone should… And then they could make money on their creations, and if someone came along who could use their characters better, then oh well… They still get to eat. But the original creator is usually be better at making their OC… And companies are the ones who usually hold the copyright even if a single employee made it

So fuck it, I’d rather make sure everyone can eat and have a home first, but if we did it in the opposite order the damage would be minimal to individual artists

Language is an interesting one… It seems like everywhere we look for language, we find it

And not just signaling systems or rudimentary understanding - everyone has a name, there’s animals in the wild that are bilingual across species, and this is symbolic abstract language. There’s animals out there with governmental systems - like crows, they have fucking trials and negotiate territory

My top pick right now is fedora silverblue, I’m running it on my test bed/server and I’ve been impressed

I’m running bazzite on my main one, which is related but geared towards steam and maximizing game support, it’s pretty good and closer to “just works” for any kind of gaming device, it’s less polished but it’s still pretty good

Not just impressive… Like, unique and so OP a group of humans could take out a lion. Large cats are the most OP things on the planet, and at best they can pick off isolated humans…a group of humans with just random rocks can kill anything on land. And we also make things to throw

And this is like our secondary skill - we’re persistence hunters and skilled omnivores first

It will if you define it properly - you have to scope the interaction properly though - the models are fine tuned to be the expert in the interaction and assist the user, they won’t take the users word as truth unless you break the dynamic or present part of the input as if it came from someone else

History doesn’t repeat, it rhymes. Global production has never been this specialized and interdependent

What does a company town look like with electronic access control and monitoring systems? What does a victory garden look like when the soil is polluted? What do you dress children in when plastic is the only common packaging?

This is unprecedented… No one knows how it’ll shake out. But historically, things got very bad

Steam runs natively and uses proton for game compatibility, similar idea to wine but it’s geared for games

It’s pretty good. Most games will run, sometimes with a little jiggling to get it to work, although performance isn’t quite as good (some games are particularly rough)

I’m technically dual booting, but I haven’t launched Windows in almost a year, and there’s only been a handful of games I passed on primarily because of support

Press your middle finger against your thumb. Pull the middle finger down, but barely stop it with your thumb. Play with that hand movement

I mean…gyro support is such a niche thing. The PS3 controller introduced gyro support - what used it? There’s examples, but not many, because most games are made to be multi platform, and programming in gyro controls is a lot harder than most other controls

Nintendo is an exception because they have a lot of exclusives - gyro support is a lot more appealing to implement if all of the devices have it, plus they probably encouraged it

I wouldn’t worry about it too much, the incentive for exclusives to have it remains, this is a tool for porting to the switch and exploring new control schemes more than anything else

There’s so much to unpack in such a short statement

If I hadn’t just seen an announcement about gpt-5 that ended with “I guess I’m retiring” this probably would’ve got me

True, but the second you can’t buy enough food at the grocery store it all goes poof

If we stop, even for a couple weeks, the system collapses. If a third of people stop showing up for work, if a third of people steal their food rather than pay for it, if a third of people stop paying rent… It all just melts away like a snow flurry

Money means the value assigned to it - if it can’t feed you, it means nothing. If it stops moving, so does ‘the economy’. It’s so much more fragile than it seems

That’s wasteful and dangerous

Harvest the beast for batteries and GPUs

Loose lips shouldn’t throw stones

What do you mean? It’s a problem in your way, it takes how long it takes to get through it

I love the in between, where you have to actually adapt algorithms to useful situations

It’s like 2% of all the work I do, but those moments stick with me

I mean, yes and no. They just capture device info for a location, which can often be tied back to a person, but they just grab the info the phone sends to the tower. These days with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi you can even do something similar with just your phone

I don’t love that it exists for obvious reasons, but it’s a far cry from looking through your phone

I mean, the cell providers already sell your location info to anyone (including LEO, which is unconstitutional without a warrant as far as I’m concerned), as can Google, apple, and all sorts of apps - so this is a niche thing

FWIW, you can defeat that pretty simply… Just leave your phone behind and/or in a faraday pouch. No signal, no signature, no location data (from your phone at least). It won’t necessarily stop the NSA, but it’ll protect you in a protest where your just another face in the crowd
