Hmmm... I don't see dbzer0 in the list, I wonder how we escaped? I think we're like the 3rd or 4th biggest instance, and positive leaning on AI. Maybe @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com just has amazing sys admin skills?

What if... we just didn't use slurs? Definitely feels like a "if those kids could read" situation. The LLMs don't have feelings to insult by calling them names, and the people who love the AIs are too dumb and self-possessed to care. And "official?" Is the Donvict signing slurs into law now?

This is great news! I love these 2 games, especially Hexen! Be a lot easier to play them on steamdeck now!

Looks like mods are just starting to go up. Hopefully Jimmy (or a fan I guess) uploads his Faithless trilogy for Heretic. It mixes some elements from Hexen in and is one of the better fantasy boomer shooters I've played. Highly recommended when it's available.

Picaresque is my second favorite! Lots of great songs on that one too:

  • We Both Go Down Together
  • The Engine Driver
  • The (MFing) Mariner's Revenge Song

Two things occurred to me reading this:

  1. Huge numbers are exceedingly common, but counting particles is the wrong way to find them. Combinatorics is where the real monster hunting lies. When you start calculating complex probabilities or numbers of possible arrangements of things, that's where the fuzzy boundary between "infinite" and "really, really, really finitely big" starts to blur.
  2. I think looking to CompSci is the right move, but I still don't see many folks discussing computational complexity as a real, mathematical limit. We often treat two equal statements as though theres an immediate, single-step, jump between them. But discovering the equality requires computation/calculation. Shannon shows that information and entropy are the same thing. Computation is the process by which information is created. Ultrafinitist need to show that there is a finite quantity of information, which I don't think is true or possible.

I'm a big fan! Nice selection! My favorite album of theirs is The Crane Wife, but I'm pretty fond of most of their music, even the later stuff.

Lol, Twin Peaks was my first thought on seeing the meme! "I wanted a twwoooooo by fooooour... inch"

Reads a bit like an ad, and doesn't look into self-hosted KeepassXC, which is also memory safe.

I don't trust any online password managers anymore. Too much juicy data collected in one place, too many intermediaries all doing the right thing to rely on. And as the link I posted says, if the attacker has malware on your machine already, memory safety is a final defence but you're likely already compromised.

Maybe, maybe not, but people that don't care about art have money, and artists need money to live. Probably we should focus on fixing that "need money to live" thing as a society so that everyone would have more time for art and creativity, but the people with the most money have decided to focus on other things, like replacing the artists.

Ugh, this joke doesn't even make sense and why are random words bolded? Load bearing? While laying in a box?

Wouldn't it have been funnier to make use of the properties of the etch a sketch? Like "Oh no, you didnt erase my shed blue prints did you?!" Or draw attention to the joke of it being mixed with the tools, like "That E-a-S has been handed down by the carpenters of my family for generations" or just any joke that ties back into the comic.
