I generally disagree with the entire plan, but if you’re going to do anything like this, there is a large difference between getting caught with a weapon and not. Maybe even a squirt gun. You do not need to have a weapon to get convicted of robbing a bank.
By these standards, most of my adult relatives are actually children.
I admit I didn’t watch the video, since it is 17 minutes and I don’t have time right now, but I’ll just throw something out there that I think is a good rule of thumb.
When you ask questions like this, “Do AI-Generated…” so and so, you can usually find a common-sense starting point answer by substituting, “Do human-Generated…” AI has the ability to plagiarize, and so do humans. AI has the ability to plagiarize even when it’s not asked to, and so do humans. Humans can even accidentally plagiarize, but it’s harder to say that AI does things accidentally.
This rule of thumb doesn’t always work, but neural networks attempt to simulate the way human brains function. Obviously, there are some differences. But it’s close enough to get a starting point.
It’s a complicated situation. A complicated question.
I forget where I heard it from, but somebody said that it’s strange how we believe that if we go back in time and make a small change, it will have a huge effect on the future, but we also believe that making small changes today won’t make any difference in the future.
If you’ve been to Reddit since the API meltdown, it’s pretty clear that large sections of it were fucked by angry moderators, and still remain that way. I don’t think the fediverse was ready to take over, but Reddit very clearly has fewer people working for them for free.
Specifically, there are several subreddits where they used to be strict about submissions, and now they let anything mildly related in.
I’m honestly pretty surprised that they still haven’t recovered. At this point, I’m hoping that their mediocrity will continue to push people away until Lemmy can catch up.
They diagnose you as colorblind using those Ishihara color tests, and apparently that second test from the video.
What I don’t understand about any of these videos about these glasses I’ve seen is, why don’t they repeat the tests with the glasses on?
If you can pass all of the colorblindness tests with the glasses on, then you’d say that the glasses work, even if they make everything magenta. Based on his orange-red blindness from the last glasses, I suspect that they might make you pass the tests your previously failed, but then you’d fail some tests that you previously passed.
It seems like the most basic way to verify whether the glasses work, and the first thing that people should think to test, but I’ve never seen anybody do it.
I love word ladders. Here’s one that I do every day, which even has a word ladder in the URL. https://wordwormdormdork.com/
For your second point, do you say that you use Adobe or Windows?
I mean, you already know the answer to that. The point is that you don’t have to give the entire context of your computing environment every time you mention some product you use.
Linux is just the kernel.
It’s not only the kernel. It is also the name that people have settled on for differentiating the computer running the Linux kernel from a computer running Windows.
I was contrasting it with the animal “gnu”, otherwise known as the wildebeest, which is pronounced more similar to the word “new”. I suspect more people know the animal gnu than know the organization GNU.
I understand why Stallman wanted us to say GNU/Linux, because his organization needs money and wants its name out there, but that’s simply not how things get named in the real world.
First, GNU was always a mouthful. It’s always been intentionally pronounced differently from the animal. People prefer names that are not confusing and that don’t sound strange.
Second, we don’t do the same thing for other operating systems. If you’re an illustrator, you don’t say that you work on Adobe/Windows or whatever.
Third, GNU/Linux adds nothing interesting over simply “Linux”. And in fact, there have been distributions where they avoid GNU tooling due. Everybody still recognizes these as Linux.
If anything, they feel more confident, unencumbered by experience or the truth.
