There is some kind of incentive structure to look this fucked up. There is a whole different world where looking like a parody of yourself is virtue signaling, shows that you can afford to look like such a cartoon. It’s the same reason maga face is a thing. Humans aren’t attracted to it physically, but you can tell they that they have enough money to do that to themselves and not have to feel embarrassed.

Technology@lemmy.ml•So what I'm reading is that they're either making a gentleman's agreement to let Chinese labs run circles around them or the easy gains are over and they're now running into a wallEnglish
13·2 小时前They all must have figured out by now that they are hitting a limit. I honestly don’t think LLMs will lead us to AGI. I’m sure it’s a step on the path to it, but I’m think it’s a lot further than most think.
So, they make this “agreement”, then the slowdown is just being “responsible” so that the investors don’t panic. Meanwhile they all go full tilt behind the scenes to try to find the next breakthrough.

6·5 小时前No way that man builds a statue to anyone but himself. I guarantee the design will change.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Portainer 3.0 is coming, and here's what it means for you — PortainerEnglish
1·5 小时前It’s personal preference. I grew up staring at green screens. I am at home pawing through config files, I like seeing things from the bottom up.
So, portainer was a nice easy button to ease my transition from VMs to containers, but just like VMWare, I started on the GUI, eventually moved to CLI.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Portainer 3.0 is coming, and here's what it means for you — PortainerEnglish
1·7 小时前Portainer was a great start into docker, but it’s so much easier and better to just use compose and cli. Lazydocker if you really want point and click.
I still have my old install running on my homebrew NAS, but all it’s doing is running plex and a Minecraft server. I need to rebuild, at which point it goes.
Sorry portainer, I appreciate the start, but I’ve got it from here…
Agreed, this is pretty much what they were back when I used them. This was well before tinder or whatever the big one that disrupted the industry is/was.
Funny enough, despite me being extremely happily married for over 18 years now, I still cannot get my damned email off their spam lists. I’ve abandoned that address so I don’t much care, but they really don’t seem confident in their matches apparently :)

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Calls for Democrats to be shot go unchallenged at Republican conventionEnglish
561·2 小时前I wholeheartedly agree, but I don’t think this country is capable. You call out anyone for their hateful thetoric and you are accused of being the one who is out of line. Americans are so unbelievably afraid of any confrontation or pushback that we will defend the evil asshole’s right to be an evil asshole, but never their target.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you seen someone you personally know|knew in porn? If so, who?English
9·1 天前Barely counts but my former roommate dated a girl who was trying to break in. She danced and stripped, and had her own website. I never looked though, wasn’t the type I cared to see naked…

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•places that have recorded both -40C and +40CEnglish
4·1 天前Minnesotans don’t cry, we’re tougher than that, or at least have realized that if we do they either freeze or turn to steam.
I met my wife on a dating app, but it was over 20 years ago now. I suspect that like everything they all have evolved to capture your eyeballs as much as possible. Back when I used them, they were about meeting people, they hadn’t yet gamified them with the swipes and so forth.
So, not surprised, a little sad to hear it even, since I can’t imagine being a young person and trying to meet new people these days. Then again, as an aspiring Luddite these days, I hope people find a way to connect in real life.
I bet it will be $5000 worth of tokens for grok.

Technology@lemmy.world•LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devicesEnglish
1·5 天前Because they are short and my ceilings are tall. We also cook a lot and with kids, smoke happens. So, the requirement from the wife was being able to silence remotely.

Technology@lemmy.world•LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devicesEnglish
8·6 天前Yeah, I went with LG because I wanted to try an OLED, and the price was right. Never buying anything from them again, and whatever tv I do buy next I’ll disable all the shit from the get-go.
I’ve always been privacy minded, but things have gotten so bad, and I’ve gotten complacent. Hell, I just bought a connected smoke alarm system because my wife and kids needed something they can mute remotely. Should have just bought a stick instead.
I need to replace my WiFi, about time I get one with real VLAN support, so I can build an isolated guest/IoT network.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the most specific physical store you have encountered?English
10·6 天前It’s not super specific, and makes sense for where I saw it, but I’ll never forget the Wisconsin tourist trap I drove past as a kid that has a big sign out front advertising “Cameras, Cheese and Guns”.
Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo.
Best buffalo shitpost.

29·6 天前I thought I had disabled everything but mine was still connected to WiFi. Thanks for the reminder. I disconnected it and blocked it at the router.
Tired of doing this for so many devices. We truly live in a full on surveillance state.



Jebus, I really hate my dad, but I can’t imagine being musks daughter and seeing ol’ dad spend 100 million on hating your own kid.
