In other words, RTFM

It says character generator, but you can totally use it for other stuff. It’s just stablediffusion. I’ve used it to generate illustrations of locations to show to my Pathfinder players.

Ah. I see, so reducing the resolution was more about sending frames to the monitor faster, not about optimizing the tube hardware’s behaviour

Yeah I didn’t think it would make the “pixels” smaller, but the beam would need to pulse less often and therefore could travel more. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what they did.

It makes sense you’d be able to get a much higher refresh rate on a tube if you reduce the resolution, since you would be reducing the beam’s travel.

The Turing Test says that any person could have any conversation with a machine and there’s no chance you could tell it’s a machine. It does not say that one person could have one conversation with a machine and not be able to tell.

Current text generation models out themselves all the damn time. It can’t actually understand the underlying concepts of words. It just predicts what bit of text would be most convincing to a human based on previous text.

Playing Go was never the mark of AI, it was the mark of improving game-playing machines. It doesn’t represent “intelligence”, only an ability to predict what should happen next based on a set of training data.

It’s worth noting that after Lee Se Dol lost to Alphago, researchers found a fairly trivial Go strategy that could reliably beat the machine. It was simply such an easy strategy to counter that none of the games in the training data had included anyone attempting that strategy, so the algorithm didn’t account for how to counter it. Because the computer doesn’t know Go theory, it only knows how to predict what to do next based on the training data.

This is a terrible way of visualizing data. Who uses a bar chart for years‽ It should just be a timeline.

It doesn’t really work the other direction. Mastodon users can post and comment on Lemmy communities by @ ing the community. There isn’t a way for Lemmy users to browse hashtags or users from Mastodon. Even if you click on the user profile for a mastodon user from Lemmy, it’ll only show you the stuff they’ve posted and commented on Lemmy instances, not the full activity of the account.

Yes, but keep in mind hashtags look awful on Lemmy and the first line of text of your toot becomes the post title. A lot of mastodon posts onto Lemmy are really ugly and borderline incomprehensible. So be careful.

I’m pretty sure it would be impossible to play a game like Spec Ops: The Line or Bioshock and miss the political message

Also, don’t trust anyone who isn’t asking for vetting, seems backwards but sting ops will usually skip that part while legit SWers will often demand it to make sure they’re not exposing themselves to a sting on your end.

Where I am, SWers are decriminalized, but buying their services isn’t. So they don’t need to be afraid of stings. Not sure if that affects what you’re saying.

Anyway this is all hypothetical since I have a gf right now, but I’ve spent most of my adult life single and lonely and would have loved to be able to access SW services safely and legitimately during those times.

Honestly I’ve often thought it would be fun to hire a sex worker, but it’s seemingly impossible to ensure safety from any diseases, from getting mugged, and also to ensure nobody is being exploited or coerced. I really wish it was legal and regulated (and ideally unionized) in my area. It would be cool to be able to access a service like that as easily as I can book a haircut.

Hey, I think you dropped this -> 👑

I agree with this but with the caveat that you both point them in the direction of some educational resources and also offer support. Otherwise they’ll just think they’re being trolled
