These kinda duckies even more so.
And Spotify had something of the same problem back when I used it (before the AI craze). Listening to a few game soundtracks and the Spotify recommendations got flooded with everything related to gaming no matter the music genre.
Jup. Tried listening to a few of those hour-long obviously AI slop background tracks. Its decent music for when I just want some pleasant background noise. Except for YTs algorithm now flooded my feed with that garbage of every awful genre variation. I had to spend many days clicking "Not interested" and "Don't recommend this channel" just to make the video feed barely usable.
Yeah, this is why I don't touch streaming music, only relying on my safe mp3 collection: Spotify replaced Hotel California in my playlist with the most awful cover I've ever heard.
And its not like drilling through HDDs was perfectly safe either, things could still be recovered with specialized tools.
So whats the modern equivalent of this, assuming the drive is defective? Dig out the NAND chips and drill through each of them?
INFINITE BEAN POWER!!!
Boox was the first, as far as I can tell. Bigme is the second. Then a few smaller companies that doesnt sell much internationally.
First time I've heard about this site. Surprised it has lasted four years. It will probably be blocked everywhere in a few years more. But still might get a bit more out of my Kobo reader before then.
Any android tablets yet with e-ink?
This isn't only about the reader, it is also about the digital store. A surprising amount of cyberpunk genre authors only publish to Amazon stores, nowhere else, ironically enough. And the Kobo store is awful at finding anything, i didn't think anyone could mess up a search as bad as them. It should be illegal to limit a digital store to a single type of device like Amazon does.
That STILL counts as defeating the encounter, we should have gotten full XP for it!
I was promised cool self-flying cars with those. Not self-igniting metal boxes designed by a thin-skinned billionaire who don't even understand computers.
What?
Because a lot of politicians would rather have the "center" than not. And anyone doing swiping changes will make enemies high up, which means working against powerful propaganda machines pushing opinions.
What power will the next democratic US President have left? And will they be willing to root out whatevers left of Trumps cult at the cost of their popularity?
I mean, thats what these dogs turn into: A caricature of the original race's already unique look, a cartoon-race where everything unique is exaggerated to the extreme. At some point it ceases to be pretty, but they have invested so much resources into it that they convince themselves and their friends that it is peak beauty when it is actually grotesque.
I hate the idea of me being straight should be something I am just because its the default, you know. I love that when I at a certain point in life i was uncertain, that I was free to sit down and think on it and decide for myself that YES i am practically straight. And still have the freedom to change it later if i should develop (because this shit is complicated). Everyone should have that freedom.
How far can they stretch that luck this time? A cog can only take so much.
Everyone happily eating together.. And in comes the food and health inspector, right?
Can't you just put them into the same prisons they voted into reality? Those are seriously bad enough. Then you can upgrade the other prisons to civilized levels.
He looks kickass. But I would question the metal pieces on his fire-brigade armor. Unless its literally magical cold steel.
Cool. Extra History on Youtube just did an episode on him last week.
> High-tech low-life refers to a cultural and literary phenomenon that juxtaposes advanced technology with the gritty, often bleak realities of life for marginalized individuals. It highlights how cutting-edge technology can coexist with social decay, economic disparity, and personal struggles, particularly in urban settings.
Could happen with anything that requires bandwith. Like watching a soccer match, why should an image of a fully detailed soccer ball be sent from the broadcaster, to your decoder, and onto your screen, if they could just send a smaller signal to your AI-powered screen to draw a basic soccer ball? Then you can watch the match on two screens and see that the ball patterns dont match up on the same frame. You wont be able to trust whats shown at all anymore.
I mean, game engines cheating to make the final output look more realistic is common. As long as they can do a consistent (that horses dont change colors from one shot to the next) and correct (that the ai tool doesnt skip rendering an enemy thats barely visible) render output at a decent performance, it doesnt matter for the gamer having fun. But i'd rather have affordable RAM-sticks than hyper-realistic games.
The actors seems to have put on their characters again like it was only yesterday.. Thats very promising. The best indication if a shows gonna be good is the enthusiasm of the actors, imo.
Lack of bugs in the system, maybe?
Stabbing one senator 23 times seems inefficient. Could get so much more done if it was a bit more spread out.
See, this is why AI can never truly replace programmers. Eventually something like this will happen in real life. Like that AI who deleted the production database. Who would give an AI delete permissions and direct access to a prod db?! And who would let an AI have direct access to ship-wide global variables? Though Starfleet has always been horrible with IT security. And regular security; anyone can just wander onto the bridge whenever.
