Models are getting more efficient and hardware is getting more powerful, it’s completely feasible that open source, self hosted, GPT4 equivalent and better models will be completely viable to run as individuals for reasonable costs (hundreds, not thousands) in the not too distant future.
As always, the will and knowledge to use the tools falls to the individual.
Claudine Gay was right to resign, if the very top position at a university is occupied by someone with no academic integrity, then that will spread like an infection.
It’s more than just brushing and flossing, they grind off plaque etc. Preventative maintenance for teeth basically.
Life’s pretty good here in Australia. No neighbours on the border causing problems, weather is generally good, lots of wide open empty nature to get out of the city, average salary is $93k and unemployment is low, crime is low. Inequality is a problem although our Gini coefficient has actually lowered recently. There’s a lot of life to enjoy, and really the endless stream of negativity is only experienced through the media, not in real life, so I switched off the TV and just focus on what’s going on around me, enjoying the people, places and activities that I like, and things feel quite positive.
Turn off the news, it’s bad for the psyche.
Swap Trump for Bush and this is what the early internet was like
Right? People want to turn this into reddit.
Have… have they they seen reddit?
I prefer things without powermods, corporate and government influence, profit motives, censorship, groupthink, karma farming, excessive banning, etc etc.
If people really miss an endless content feed then they can just switch to one of the social media giants - it’ll only take a couple of clicks - and Keep Lemmy Good.
That’s not very revolutionary of you, comrade
I’m running Ubuntu on my laptop and it has a dropdown list on the login screen to select DE
That’s awesome, good work mate. There will be occasions where temptations are there. Just stay strong and remember the big picture and what you’re aiming for. You’ll look back on yourself in 5 years time so thankful for the decisions you made now.
If you ever slip up and have a drink, just remember that doesn’t mean it’s all over, and it was all for nothing - your progress doesn’t reset to zero, it just takes one step backwards, all those steps forward you’ve taken are still there. Be kind to yourself, accept it happened, then get back on track, and you’ll get there.
The good news is that these situations will be less and less likely to result in remission as you and your friends get more used to your sobriety. Sounds like your friends don’t know yet, so they are continuing old patterns. I’m sure once you inform them of your plans, they’ll be supportive, and if not, then they’re making the decision to not be a part of your journey any more, and that’s on them.
You might find engaging in new activities that don’t centre around alcohol would help. I find if I exercise, I can’t stand the thought of drinking afterwards, and only want to eat healthy food and drink water. Anything else feels a bit disgusting. You’ll find what works for you.
Keep it up, you’re making good progress!
So can anyone with a copy of mspaint. Sick of these attempts to sterilise and censor
Pick me
Assuming that the common thread is accentuating gender characteristics to an absurd extent for attention
If (the royal) you can’t figure out Plex et al, then you pay the normie tax and deal with the corporations dictating your media consumption, and pay them out the ass for the privilege.
No such thing as having your cake and eating it too, but if you learn how to bake then you can eat all the cake you want.
Aussie here. Our entire dialect is one weird idiom.
I’ve seen the Tom Hanks dental plan and it involved an ice skate
The drug and cigarette analogy is dramatic, but the real heat is going to come from the claim that they only care about the supply side of the equation, not demand. In other words, their audience is locked in and has no power, and the ad suppliers (Google themselves) set the market conditions.
That is dangerously close to monopoly talk.
I doubt
I’d wager
I’d assume
You have a news article linked here which clearly spells out an example of this happening yet you still lean on assumptions that it couldn’t possibly happen
Is it being suggested to people who don’t have a terminal disease?
Hamburgler?
Sounds like you’re blaming customers when the business didn’t hire enough staff or implement a good app - eg; it shouldn’t be an option to set the pickup time 5 mins after ordering, and the app should give staff a way to communicate with customers
Because they all offer competing and mutually exclusive hypotheses.
Christianity tells us that the one true path to salvation is by accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour.
Hinduism tells us that our next life will take place in this world, based on our actions in this life.
Islam tells us that Mohammed is the one true prophet.
Buddhism says that there are no prophets, enlightenment only comes from within.
They make contradictory claims, so by definition they can’t all be right, and they typically claim that they are correct and the other explanations are false, so even if one religion is correct, the rest (comprising of the majority of the faithful) must be wrong.
