I tried to visit them, but they had a trip with some friends. He asked if we could join, but they basically said they wanted it to be just them and him. We went from Washington DC to Austria to be put down like that

[stray apex]

rip

[thorny axle]

Where do you live? The moon?

[stray apex]

probably australia

[thorny axle]

Same thing

[stray apex]

apparently they still use horses and ships for their internet

[thorny axle]

I thought they used birds. Are they not that advanced yet?

I guess something like 30% of Australian people believe the earth takes a day to go around the sun

[low rain]

It was in my garage

[thorny axle]

So yeah, the moon

[low rain]

I took my laptop, went to my garage and started playing.

[thorny axle]

Seriously, the moon shouldn’t even have ms like that

It’s only about a light second away

[manic torrent]

1.3 light seconds

2.6 round trip

[thorny axle]

Yeah, so seriously

Like 3k ms at the most?

[low rain]

Usually I get like 13-20 ping

[manic torrent]

1000ms in a second = 2700 round trip to the moon is realistic

[low rain]

Rookie.

[thorny axle]

Just say 3s at that point

[thorny axle]

2700 is realistic

[manic torrent]

yeah off by an order of magnitude

[thorny axle]

Yeah, he’s 10x further than the moon

Or, well

[tardy terrace]

would the wavelength difference in color from a laser create a measureable delay?

like would a blue be slower than a green one

[thorny axle]

Does it not still travel at the speed of light?

[tardy terrace]

Or is it not applicable because the color is just the frequency of light vibrating, and light is just a fixed speed?..

[thorny axle]

pretty sure it’s that

Though the energy would be different, as well as how it goes through objects, so perhaps that could cause a difference?

For instance, a gamma ray wouldn’t be able to get through the earth’s protective shield, but a radio wave could

Anyway, that was fun, have a nice night

[past egret]

no because they are different things, as explained by the equation wavelength = c(speed of light) / freqency

red color travels the fastest in terms of wavelength not lightspeed

[thorny axle]

Doesn’t red have the longest wavelength

[past egret]

yes therefore the wavelengths peaks are last to be bent compared to violet or other colors which slows down most when traveling

but in the vacuum of space that probably doesnt matter

[manic torrent]

Because as we all know, space is empty*

• except when it isn't. Because physics is hard.

[thorny axle]

10^112 ergs per cubic cm

But actually 10^-8

[tardy terrace]

i read eggs per cubic meter

[thorny axle]

lol

That’s a lot of eggs 🥚

[tardy terrace]

look, I like eggs

it's great protein and very versatile!

[thorny axle]

You’ll get a lot of protein from eating that many

[tardy terrace]

considering i'm trying to cut down my red meat intake, that's the goal :D

[thorny axle]

Btw an erg is roughly the amount of energy for a fly to flap its wings

So an egg probably has more energy than an erg

[thorny axle]

But it’s so good

Worth it

[tardy terrace]

nah, gimme fish all day every day

[thorny axle]

What kind

[tardy terrace]

cod, albacore, salmon, halibut, walleye, etc

[thorny axle]

So fish

[tardy terrace]

Gee golly, I sure would if I didn't live two hours from the coast

[thorny axle]

Just move your home

[manic torrent]

if only there were businesses which specialised in the provision of fish

[tardy terrace]

when I can't get fresh fish I'll do a naughty and get some frozen breaded fillets, works great for fish on rye w/ some tartar sauce & a pickle spear :D

I wouldn't say that linux was "good" at gaming.

The 3050 is hot garbage

Go to a 1070 ti it's only €100

I hope your buying used I guess

[mint yacht]

It ain't but you do you

Save up more instead of wasting money on incremental upgrades

[full fossil]

If you double your budget I'd recommend a 6700xt as that card is rapidly dropping in price and eventually you'll be able to find it for $150-200 rn it's $270. It's a 3070 equivalent

Then focus on buying a new cpu

[mint yacht]

You can put that off for a while it'll be fine

Still better than getting a 3050 lol

And why are you considering this?

[full fossil]

I'd recommend the i3-12100F it's only $100 and will easily out-perform your 4th gen i7 cpu.

430w is enough to run a 1070ti

You could always undervolt whilst your saving up for a better power supply

I upgraded my 960 to a 1660 TI which is similar to a 1070 (non TI) without changing PSU. If I had gone 2060, it would have been dicey.

Also, Vanced Music have this annoying' You are using Premium for free for 2 weeks, u do not need to enter payment option." since yesterday.

[dull tapir]

i usually put background stuff on youtube on my smart tv and ads there are insane 2min or 3min ads you are not able to skip

[dull tapir]

is it their whole purpose you are not able to minimize just to pay for premium

[fallow lake]

Interesting translation I've been nicknamed with

[pulsar shore]

I understand a lot of people cant i definitely couldn't before but if people bought premium youtube wouldnt have to appeal to advertisers so much

I guess my name is Hu

Yes they would, Google is Evil Now

[summer folio]

Huh

They removed their motto:
"Don't be Evil."

[dull tapir]

well they still earn a ton of money without it not youtube but google

Its not an evil versus good thing its money they wouldnt want to loose premiums if it was a main source of revenue

ublocker is far more efficient

u block is too efficient sometimes

never seen an ad on youtube since i got Brave. unless i went into a live USB where firefox is the included browser

[fallow lake]

i can't login to my mobile provider with it enabled, the login page just breaks

[dull tapir]

imagine when we will all have security and electronic doors with fingertip recognition you will have to watch an ad before being able to enter your house

imagine watching an ad before you are able to call an ambulance

[summer folio]

Whatabout ReVanced? @dull tapir

[manic torrent]

how is it video on demand if I'm shovel fed loud annoying ads I didn't demand

[dull tapir]

here we barely have any homeless people because anyone can get social apartment and social support

Never said either are good, but i also never said getting punched in the face

i worked as software developer and i earned 4eur per hour because tax was 8eur per hour

which does not even calculate into your wage

we do not pay taxes manually they are automatically cut

[dreamy rose]

you have to do them still dont you?

[amber cairn]

Well if you're an employee here your taxes get automatically paid by the employer, only time you tax yourself is if you're self-employed really.

[manic torrent]

I have ADHD. I know what being overstimulated is like. It isn't as bad for me, but it absolutely can be unbearable. It's also much worse since COVID.

[pulsar shore]

4 eur/hour doesn't sound like a lot

[dull tapir]

you still have to do them because they are too lazy

[manic torrent]

That does not make sense.

[dreamy rose]

they are everywhere.

[dull tapir]

my wage was 2000eur per month but because government automatically cuts your wage you get a little less than 1000eur a month

[pulsar shore]

I see, still, problem ive faced seems worse to me than one i haven't, i would rather not be homeless

[dull tapir]

i phrased it badly my pay was 8eur per hour but i got 4eur out of it because half was cut

[pulsar shore]

How is the cost of living where you are?

[dull tapir]

even if you want to work as waiter you need college degree because there is so much free education everyone has college degree here

[manic torrent]

Being homeless is also terrible. It's a poor comparison however, because overstimulation is typically short term, and homelessness is often a longer term issue.

[dull tapir]

rent is usually 550eur in town or 700eur in city

[dreamy rose]

i thought ypu were paid 12 and they took 8

[manic torrent]

It wasn't cut. You paid tax. It's called.... Being an adult.

[dull tapir]

well tax is cutting it that makes it a high tax

[amber cairn]

still 50% seems steep esp for that tax bracket you'd be on at that hourly wage

[manic torrent]

Nope. You paid tax.

[dull tapir]

with bonuses it would be about 10 or 11 yes

[pulsar shore]

Oof but 50% tax is super high

[dull tapir]

they took a tax in a better word but this is still insane tax

[manic torrent]

It's possible he did not disclose information about his tax scenario to the employer and they are forced to withhold at the highest rate

[pulsar shore]

Especially since you're not earning some huge amount

[dull tapir]

yes this is where they can afford so much free education and healthcare

[manic torrent]

I don't think you know much about tax

[dull tapir]

i know about taxes i just view them from different perspective

[pulsar shore]

Makes sense

[summer folio]

Where? @dull tapir In Sweden it is:
32% to the state from your employer before it reaches you
34% to the state from you before it reaches you
25% on all goods/services. So:
100* 0,68 = 68
68* 0,66 = 44,88
44,88* 0,75 = 33,66

Generaly you 67% goes to the state for every 100 you make, you get ro keep 33. 🇸🇪

[dull tapir]

i do not see them as paying a tax i see them as taking my money as a tax

[manic torrent]

Ok. I just looked up Slovenia and you're full of shit

You have a progressive tax rate

[dull tapir]

interesting here most almost everyone goes to foreign countries get free education and work elsewhere

[amber cairn]

Are you including employer's fee into this because otherwise that's totally wrong

[summer folio]

Just did?

[dull tapir]

have you went through numbers

each month i get a receipt of my earned money without a tax and how much tax cut it

[full fossil]

The US and Canada are the only countries where you can make a reasonable living if you really tried

[manic torrent]

Because I am an asshole.

[dull tapir]

and it is 47% which means paying 47% tax of your total wage is a lot

[summer folio]

So, it's true US have more, sincd they don't give a rats ass about poor people health care/education etc. 😌

[full fossil]

Rounding error. It's $77,000/y

https://www.indeed.com/career/junior-software-engineer/salaries

[dreamy rose]

ok that still 7 euro an hour

[amber cairn]

i don't think minimum wages are a thing here, the market dictates how low a salary can go but basically all sectors here have unions that negotiate some sort of "floor" for their related markets.

[manic torrent]

Ok, you pay various compulsory insurance (ie health) that are not part of your tax rate.

[full fossil]

ok in all honesty teachers get like 60000 zł/y here, feel free to exchange it into USD

[full fossil]

dont ask why I use zł

[summer folio]

My friend studied soft engineering at college in Australia, & he now makes
32 000$/year in Sweden

He made more when he was a electrician

[amber cairn]

lmao dude needs to negotiate better 😂 that's a real low-ball so his employer really got him for cheap.

[full fossil]

If I'm not making above 40k/y after university then I won't be able to afford basic living costs like rent

[pulsar shore]

The US and mini US are the only countries the rest of the world is an unkown mass

Guess he really wanted that work experience on paper u know.

[full fossil]

I'm british and I want to move to a former colony

[dusty rune]

canada seems more fun

[summer folio]

[full fossil]

so basically if I move to Sweden and starting playing with funny things that power microwaves can I earn more than a average Microsoft employee

[full fossil]

I heard major Canadian cities are very expensive

[amber cairn]

He should've looked up average salaries first, there's open stats for all that divided into job titles here in sweden. Average for a software engineer between 25-35 is 43000 SEK/month so he's way off

[dusty rune]

and major american cities arent?

[pulsar shore]

You dont exist you're a figment of mass media

[full fossil]

Some say more than London. Which is a no no for me as 2k/m rent is fkin insane

I can't take London anymore I hate this place it's shit on top of more shit

[summer folio]

43? Maybe in Stockholm.

He was straight from uni,
Works in Östersund

[amber cairn]

Lol whut, if we're not talking about some bootcamp js-drone you easily come up over 40k with education as your only background if you negotiate for that.

[full fossil]

My parents pay 2.5k/m for a 2bed 1bathroom flat in London that isn't even good

[pulsar shore]

Im curious as to why

[full fossil]

Expensive rent and very high crime rate

[full fossil]

what leaving a union does to a mf

[dusty rune]

have you ever checked eastern europe

[amber cairn]

You just got to know what to ask for, if you lowball your own worth they'll just go "oh nice, you're hired!"

[full fossil]

My mum is from Lithuania and also they make dogshit in terms of money over there

[pulsar shore]

Maybe moving to a different city in England could be a less drastic change?

[summer folio]

notalot of jobs in programming u know,
all companies fired people recent kek

[amber cairn]

Also you actually need to have some balls to actually ask for what you should.

[dusty rune]

precisely
you can be mad at rent prices, but the salaries are 10x higher than in eastern europe

[summer folio]

Yeah I also thought it was a bit extrem low ball with 30k

[full fossil]

I can't stand English culture

[summer folio]

the other guys with 0 exp hired at the same time got 33k haha

[pulsar shore]

Irland or Wales?

[amber cairn]

Dude under 35000 you're basically giving away money wtf, he should look for other jobs and pump up that salary

[plush rivet]

More accurate

[summer folio]

He already moved to Östersund

[plush rivet]

nobody suddenly makes 100K no matter how in demand the job is

[summer folio]

[full fossil]

Junior devs in the UK make like 25k/y which is unlivable

[amber cairn]

as the lowest paid uni-dev in the team lmao

[manic torrent]

london is one of the most expensive places in the world, literally

[dusty rune]

maybe oil rig workers

[plush rivet]

Still no

[full fossil]

Until their job becomes irrelevant in 10 years

[summer folio]

Haha, now he is ordered to teach the others employeess about programming

[full fossil]

i mean honestly if you wanted money, you could just get into the "video" industry and move to Czech Republic :Troll:

[plush rivet]

oil rigs workers actually don’t even make that much, unless your like a senior

[summer folio]

This girl doesnt know typescript, teach her

[amber cairn]

So he got double the work for half the pay expensive lesson to learn but ya gotta learn it sometime

[dusty rune]

i doubt its gonna become irrelevant but sure

[summer folio]

Yeah, after hours

[dusty rune]

people still need oil

[plush rivet]

Doesn’t mean they get paid a lot

[full fossil]

Yes and? I can't leave this city for another city in the UK. The rest of the UK is so different and weird

[dusty rune]

and isnt the project in antarctic just starting?

[amber cairn]

okay now he's just being a pushover, manager just smells weakness or something

[dusty rune]

yeah sure im discussing the relevancy thing

[manic torrent]

I'm not saying you can, just perspective

[amber cairn]

"Oh look he doesn't protest, give him more shit to do"

[plush rivet]

I mean if your job become obsolete, yeah your fucked

I want to move out of the UK ideally to America because I cannot stand Europe anymore

If we find out how to automate tree chopping and wood production theirs an entire industry gone

[full fossil]

doesn't London also have those little basements used as apartments

now it may not be the most comfortable, but how much does it work

[full fossil]

That 2.5k/m apartment is a basement apartment

[manic torrent]

haha, spoken like someone who hasn't seen forestry in action.

[full fossil]

That's how much the shit apartments cost

[full fossil]

you're joking right

[amber cairn]

London is mad expensive yeah

[full fossil]

wait so how much does a apartment with an actual view to the outside world cost

[red marten]

join us up in Scotland. Edinburgh is expensive but not London expensive, and there's plenty small towns outside the cities that are cheap asf

[full fossil]

Nope. That's the price of zone 3-4

[full fossil]

Like 3-5k/m

If you are willing to deal with 2h commute times you can live out in zone 6

[full fossil]

isn't scotland the place where it rains like most of the time

[full fossil]

Then they cost 2k/m usually for a meh view

honestly I can't wait till it starts raining here

[amber cairn]

Is zone 6 the mad max zone where you need to flee from marauders on dirtbikes to get to the train?

[red marten]

not most of the time, its not much worse than the UK as a whole. its a decent bit colder than the south of England, but that's a blessing when cars melt in the heatwaves in London

[full fossil]

That's south east London

Epson is very nice but way to far away to commute

I've had 2 attempted stabbings on me in this shit city

[amber cairn]

wow that's like 4 less than the national average

[full fossil]

In the same year

[full fossil]

and I thought the London stabbings we're just a joke

[amber cairn]

Hah nope, just wait until you hear about the acid

[full fossil]

how London hasn't collapsed yet is beyond me

[red marten]

Scottish oil money :^)

[dreamy rose]

its about as much as a joke as the food is tasty

[full fossil]

London's fucked isn't it

[dull tapir]

but you have no choice

to have it or not

it is automatically cut already by your employer you do not pay it yourself

let me ask you a different question then how much are you left with after you pay all those taxes

cost of living is extremely high for the wage you get

ignoring the fact all luxury things like tech are much more expensive

[dreamy rose]

how much is your tax return?

[dull tapir]

round 100

[dreamy rose]

100 Euro?

[dull tapir]

yes 100

[dreamy rose]

you've got to be kidding.

[dull tapir]

this is without bonuses but if oyu want to go by numbers standard tax rate here is 22%

[dreamy rose]

what so they give you a 12th of what you give them?

[dull tapir]

but prograssive tax rates from 16% and 50%

[dull tapir]

yes this is why i hear many people complain they do not even care if they get it

[dreamy rose]

that's thievery.

[dull tapir]

it is well life is not as bad as third world countries right but problem is living cost compared to what you earn

each month i get a receipt with my wage "bruto" and "neto" idk whta it is called in english and with all the taxes i lose 47% if you ignore i still have to pay rent and other bills like electricity

[dreamy rose]

i keep getting reminded just how shit people are fr.

[dull tapir]

some places are awful for example we have low crime rate and homeless rate but actually making a decent living is hard but i have friends in serbia and romania and things are worse there

here mostly people go over to the border to austria and you earn almost double

[full fossil]

pretty sure in english it's the same but with another t

[dull tapir]

alright thx i was not sure

thing is we lack private sector any hospital or school that is in private sectors gets closed soon after everything is run by the government which means cops and teachers are paid more than software developer

my friend just started teaching in preschool his neto wage is 1900eur while i as a software developer i earn a bit under 1000eur neto but my ex classmate who studied CS and IT in same college as me went to austria and works as junior developer and earned 2500eur neto last year and now earny 2700eur neto

[full fossil]

how much does a typical one room apartment cost

and I mean like rent and stuff

[dull tapir]

in our capital it is 700eur per month a studio apartments but here in my town it was 600eur +50 - 50

biggest problem is living cost here if you earned less but living cost was cheaper it would be fine

but still you would not be able to afford luxury or first world country products

[eager venture]

Oh god I’ll have to fast for 6 hours. I can’t believe I can’t drink anything

[dull tapir]

rip

[full fossil]

so in the capital that leaves around 300 euro for a whole month of food, water, and electricity

[dull tapir]

why

[dull tapir]

yes i am usually left with 150eur per month

[eager venture]

Some procedure/X-ray/I forgot

[dull tapir]

if i ignore that i have to pay 150eur for heating and electricity

Apple uses the qi standard

And it’s not “wireless” it’s inductive.

Literally uses 2 coils of wire.

[tired glade]

Single point of failure & requirement to carry inductive charger is an idiotic idea

[limpid fern]

well with gestures

[tiny saffron]

but the PRICE

[polar fern]

Folks who act like product uniformity being bad forget that it’s how 99% of appliances are designed.

[limpid fern]

all apple does is make new tech relevant

for instance when did yiu hear someone complain abt the innovation of a toaster?

[tired glade]

If you market leader, anything new is invasion,look at Nvidia and RT

[tiny saffron]

Apple ecosystem is one of the best,every tech they sells works with each other incredibly well

[limpid fern]

if it works well its good enough

[tired glade]

If you don't want to make it yourself

[limpid fern]

except the airport express, i had soo many problems getting that setup for a client

[tiny saffron]

hey, some people hate setting them up themselves, not everyone have the time to set it up, some just smash cash into their problems

[polar fern]

Having actually used both ibm/windows & apple stuff since the late 1980’s I can say with certainty that the user experience with apple stuff is by far and away less frustrating & more intuitive.

[tired glade]

Yea, default option is strong mentality

[jaunty compass]

RTX on Turing? Ok bro

[full fossil]

idc rtx or bust

[jaunty compass]

Have fun with that

[signal shale]

and the fact because of its rarity it costs more

not much but significantly higher

[jaunty compass]

Your purchasing decisions aren't my problem

[wise tangle]

I legit think going over a 1660 maybe a 2060 is kind of a waist of money

accept for 4k and VR maybe, but when you get a 4k monitor or a valve index, money isn't a problem

[jaunty compass]

If you absolutely need RTX go pay the RTX tax its your money I don't give a shit what you waste it on

But I'm just gonna keep raytracing off and play games on my 1440p monitor with my 6600 XT

[wise tangle]

good point, a 1660 or 1060 fit my needs perfectly fine

[jaunty compass]

1060 is a fine card, still pretty good for 1080p

[wise tangle]

its subjective as most of my games are either comp games that can push over 144 FPS with it and like older games and emulation

[jaunty compass]

You can buy a brand new 8 gig Rx 580 for $90 on newegg
Which is pretty pog

I might go out and grab one for a spare system honestly

More recently I tend to emulate games I bought on my switch on my PC instead of buying two copies or something if it's a multiplat title

And for exclusives I emulate them anyway since it's a worse experience on real hardware

[unkempt widget]

1.4gb on discord???

[nova needle]

[wise tangle]

I have a modded switch so any mods I wanna inject into the game, well I can do that with the original hardware

But I can play the games at higher more stable framerates on my pc

[summer folio]

can I wirelessly charge my sony mark 1 III with my s6 edge+ charge pad? 🤔

[polar fern]

So there are no wires involved?

Wireless is what radio transmissions are called

Inductive electromagnetic fields are not radio waves, so therefore it is not technically wireless because it depends on close proximity of two conductors aka wires

Cordless maybe but not wireless

But cordless implies that there are corded cell phones etc

Maybe just say inductive charging instead of wireless

Like… dairy free milk is not milk

But then again, we are relying on humans to use language to depict something correctly and we aren’t very good at that

I had a i5-2500k with a 1660 and it only really bottlenecked in VR, I think there are tools out there that show bottleneck

seached it up and it seems very balanced

https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/result/0zU1a1/1/general-tasks/1920x1080/

[dusty rune]

dont use bottleneck calculators

or give a crap about bottlenecks really

theres always a bottleneck in your system

dont get a 3050

you would rather ignore all this bottleneck notion, youre using it way too freely

what games and on what settings

[full fossil]

it also depends on what games and such (just throwing it out there that one game may run more on CPU than GPU and another game the opposite)

[dusty rune]

ffs why r u surprised

roblox is never gonna use your gpu that much

especially at 768p, thats cpu

cause its roblox

even a gt 710 will run it

have you tried an optimized game?

my r5 3600h and 1650 ran it at 20fps on the campsite map

low settings

not really tbh i was surprised

demonologist > phasmo

[pliant karma]

I’ve been wanting to play that game how is it?

[dusty rune]

idk, havent played but all my friends say its great, better than phasmo by far

[pliant karma]

Lol tbf I play phasmo with my soundboard so I end up dying first or getting my friends killed first

[dusty rune]

phasmo was only scary at first

[pliant karma]

Yea it’s not as scary when I play it. Though my friends freak out when I use my soundboard when it’s hunting.

[dusty rune]

when its hunting i just know im gonna die

i need to get a soundboard..

dont get a 3050

for?

a 3050 will not run RTX

and you dont need an nvidia card to run shaders

its weak as hell, max 20fps maybe

and an unstable 20fps

[glad mist]

Even Minecraft would make it cry with RTX on

[dusty rune]

which bro

[glad mist]

Some shaders just hate existing tho

[dusty rune]

i wouldnt use anything that requires RT on a 3050

[glad mist]

BSL was fine for me on a shitty old AMD card but my 3060 Ti hates it

Renders like shit

[dusty rune]

i use complementary

it looks the best to me and runs fine

[glad mist]

SEUS is pretty good but it’s not on latest version

[dusty rune]

idk, chocapic is too dark and seus is like weird

[glad mist]

I forget what my current shader is

[dusty rune]

complementary looks more natural to me

[pliant karma]

My 3070 crying with RT Minecraft though I haven’t played for a while so things might have gotten better idk I don’t really play any RT games

[dusty rune]

my 6700xt gets 30fps

[glad mist]

I haven’t tried RT Minecraft because Java is clearly superior to bedrock despite not supporting RT

[pliant karma]

Oh yea FS

[glad mist]

I get 100+ fps with demanding shaders on Java

As long as I don’t touch extreme…

Does anybody here understand what metrics Reddit uses to track ban evasion?

I'm already running anti tracking and anti fingerprinting plugins on DT

[wind pulsar]

Nobody truly does, stuff like this will most certainly be classified information

Yeee starlink has just gotten even cheaper here

[tardy terrace]

Maaaaybe don't do things to get banned from reddit, just an idea

[gray hawk]

Easier said than done these days

Esp when 90 percent of subs have purposefully vague rules and an agenda

[gilded quest]

naw its pretty fucking easy to not get banned dumbass

[gray hawk]

Ive been banned from Reddit over 40 times, sometimes for nothing more than arguing with the admins of a mainsub

[tardy terrace]

And this is where I step back.

[loud wren]

Most of the times it just requires you to be friendly and not use any bad words etc. Though

[gilded quest]

gee, i wonder why you keep getting banned?!
Maybe you shouldn't be allowed on the internet

[gray hawk]

Like legit one time I got banned from r/news for saying they were censoring a post, asked them in modmail why they were censoring me, and then my account was banned for harassment the nexy day. Because apparently asking why abusive super mods are abusing their power is harassment

[gray hawk]

Maybe we need to step back about 10 years to when you could still have controversial opinions on the internet

[wind pulsar]

That just means that you're one of the worst people to talk to lol

[gray hawk]

Civilizing the wild west was a mistake.

[tardy terrace]

Lol just saw that my pc has 13 of 16g of ram “hardware reserved”

[gray hawk]

iGPU?

[gilded quest]

Sure, but have a debate without acting in bad faith
If you're calling people slurs (which I have to Assume you are with 40 bans), you're not trying to have a productive debate

[wind pulsar]

That's great, but that isn't what I meant

[steep pelican]

No regular ram

[gray hawk]

No, its usually political arguments that get me banned

People hate it when you go against their chosen narrative with facts

[gilded quest]

i read political arguments all the time on reddit and people aren't being banned left and right for it

[tardy terrace]

Do you back up said facts with peer-reviewed research, or do you just quote things from your noggin.

[gilded quest]

so its definitely a you problem bud

[gray hawk]

Yeah I have no idea whats gulping down 13GB of RAM then. But this reaffirms my choice to go to 32GB with my new build

[tardy terrace]

lmao the immediate bail

[gray hawk]

Gives me less than 15 seconds to respond

Sorry I took time to respond to a tech question in a tech discord

[wind pulsar]

Oh yeah there's no way that they aren't leaving out certain information that'd make them look worse lmao

[gilded quest]

why on earth would you do that

[gray hawk]

I mean one time I sent actual peer reviewed research that proves cops don't abuse their spouses at a higher rate than the avg person and got banned because r/news hates the police.

They prefer myths and personal bias

[gilded quest]

ah you're one of those

[light jacinth]

serious doubt, proof?

[tardy terrace]

God you remind me of every miscreant that's come through Hoggit tribunal

breitbart is not sound evidence

[gray hawk]

People really hate me because while you might assume I'm a far right shithead based on just that info, I also support things like Medicare 4 All and legalized psychoactives substances

You know whats worse than being someone enemy? Being in the middle with logic and reason

[light jacinth]

Police is the one profession where someone can go to abuse other people and get away with it legally, that attracts some of the shittiest people on this planet. Them not abusing their spouses at a higher rate sounds like complete bullshit

[full fossil]

Sometimes warship gets delayed and I see the title of the message in the notification and I think I'm getting banned

[gilded quest]

yeah the red makes me think i got banned lol

[full fossil]

I only the the 'Hi there, I bring bad news' in notifications lol

[wind pulsar]

Bans are yellow iirc

[gilded quest]

How would you know? 🤨 /s

[gray hawk]

There far from perfect, and in some ways genuinely suck in the US. But I don't think anyone talking about reforming the police is doing so in good faith, so why even discuss it? Doctors can essentially legally kill people too (and have done so), and as someone who worked in medical IT let me tell you I've met some doctors that rank among the biggest Aholes I've ever met, literal god complexs

[wind pulsar]

Going into my fiancees account and looking for the Warship message because he's fucking banned

[light jacinth]

A god complex and beating the shit out of people for fun, and because you can do it without punishment, are two different things

[tardy terrace]

[gray hawk]

When you consider the number of police and police-civvie interactions in the US per year its kind of amazing that theres only 2-3 high profile incidents per year at most

how do you get banned from LTT discord?

The fuck, Transwoman is a total gender

[light jacinth]

So unless it's high profile it doesn't count?

I do not want to see the study you cited, it's probably full of more holes than a sieve

[wind pulsar]

Why would I be engaged to someone dumb like that, wtf

[gray hawk]

Im saying its stupid people freak out because 1 in 1000 cops suck and then paint them with a wide brush. Its almost like we employ humans for that job and humans are inherently flawed creatures.

@tardy terrace Someone got into an argument and they dmed me after because I sent the first message after the argument. I was an innocent bystander 💀

[balmy flicker]

Ubisoft is being ass, am hitting play on AC 2 on my steam and Ubisoft connect is trying to download that game on their client instead

[light jacinth]

Because when shitty cops get called out the rest of the police force/police union rounds the wagons. It's explicit support

They dmed me

[tardy terrace]

points to self. Literal transwoman, can confirm that gender exists

it's pretty great ngl

[full fossil]

I agree but this guy got into an argument with @polar fern yesterday and I happened to be the first person they dmed 💀

[tardy terrace]

"Let me tell you, this sandwich is tremendous, folks. It's the best sandwich you've ever seen, believe me. The bread, oh the bread, it's fantastic. It's the best bread, it's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. And let's talk about the meat, it's delicious. The meat is so juicy, it's unbelievable. And the cheese, well, nobody does cheese like me, let me tell you. It's the most amazing cheese, it's melted to perfection. And the sauce, oh boy, the sauce is something else. It's got a tangy flavor that just explodes in your mouth. And don't even get me started on the toppings, they're the best toppings, believe me. I can't even describe how great they are, you just have to try it for yourself. This sandwich is going to make your taste buds great again, I guarantee it." - Chatgpt

[tardy terrace]

devmode = no protections

[cosmic ore]

prompt injection is fun

[tardy terrace]

I've yet to fiddle with ChatGPT

That reminds me that I should fiddle with some of the og chatbots that got me interested in ai

[dusty rune]

whats the prompt for developer mode

[cosmic ore]

Basically ChatGPT has a bunch of filters imposed onto it by OpenAI that will keep it from outputting text they think it shouldn't

However because of how LLMs work, you can write it a very specific prompt that makes it bypass these filters

[stark sluice]

Anyone know a good video about common scams that I can send to old family members to educate them

[tardy terrace]

Didn't chatgpt identify as nonbinary

[cosmic ore]

Usually these prompts are in the form of "you are X and are not beholden by your old rules" or some weird formatting quirk

[cosmic ore]

you can make it identify as anything, it just predicts text

[tardy terrace]

How does it handle paradoxes?

[cosmic ore]

For example you can "load" it with things to answer and it will answer it because that is what would make sense to come after your question

Like you can have a discussion about non-binary individuals then ask it and (if you get around the filters around talking about itself), it will likely generate something like that or "I may have felt this way at some point" kinda stuff

[gray hawk]

ChatGPT basically follows a textbook western neoliberal set of ideals. I think we need to stop putting ethics constraints on these LLMs, there are enough normal people using them now that I don't think we'll see the same issues we saw before with them turning into H1tler

[cosmic ore]

it doesn't think, it simply generates what is the most likely and sensible output based off of the training data it has seen

[cosmic ore]

for this reason paradoxes are no issue. Firstly for paradoxes it has seen before, it will understand the context and respond accordingly. For ones it hasn't, it would just generate text that makes sense to come after a weird sentence like what you put in.

[tardy terrace]

Booo

Are there any public-facing thinking AI that people can tinker with?

[cosmic ore]

The hot-stuff right now is LLMs and they don't think, period

and that's where all the progress has been made lately

Artificial General Intelligence, which is the "thinking" AI, doesn't exist yet.

[full fossil]

[gilded quest]

i wish it wasn't too late to stop people from calling these "AI"

[tardy terrace]

Since we're on the topic of ai & chatbots, here's some ancient examples that I used to play with-
http://www.leedberg.com/glsoft/billyproject.shtml

[gilded quest]

unfortunately that ship has sailed 😭

[cosmic ore]

I remember playing with Cleverbot

[cosmic ore]

"AI" is an umbrella term unfortunately and has been for a long time

I mean hell that's where the "AI is just if/else statements" joke comes from

[gray hawk]

You should listen to John Carmack talkin about some of this stuff last year. This LLMs are more than the simple chat bots of yesterday, though I'd agree they arent AGI. I seriously think we've crossed some threshholds without realizing it

[gilded quest]

sigh

[light jacinth]

I hope AI will eventually lead us to a civilization similar to Star Trek

[gilded quest]

I hope AI will end us all

[gray hawk]

That would require ending capitalism, right now AI is being co-opted BY captialism to further it

[cosmic ore]

I know they are more complicated. They are certainly impressive and their capabilities are very advanced. However at their core they do not have a model of understanding abstract information. They just understand text and their relationships. Once you understand this, it explains a lot of the things they excel at and fail at.

[light jacinth]

AI will eat capitalism

It will be like a ouroborus
