an industry selling pattern recognition suddenly becomes so bad at recognizing one

I think they do recognize the pattern.

With trump, I genuinely don’t know if he understands that people don’t like him. With the big tech companies, I think they have a pretty good idea of how each individual person feels about these data centers.

Since the midterm elections have just passed, they don’t need to worry about how the average voter feels about them for another two years. However, they do need to convince their investors that everything is ok. Between the partial bubble pop in China, the crypto heist, Google’s stock drop, and now the republicans losing power, they’re spooked

While it depends on the region, some of them are paying for what they use. The problem is the sudden increase in demand causes the entire region to need capacity upgrades, and those costs are passed on to all users. Or if the region imports electricity, then the extra demand might cause it to be a more expensive purchase.

What’s wild is that in some places, the data centers get a discount at the expense of other users

Recent federal antitrust litigation against Duke Energy established that the company sought to shift costs of a discounted contract to its other ratepayers. Internal documents disclosed through litigation revealed that Duke could not compete for customers against a new, more cost-efficient power plant developer. Duke, however, offered one of its larger customers a new contract that amounted to a $325 million discount. Exploiting its monopoly authority, Duke “plan[ned] to shift the cost of the discount…back to its [other ratepayers] in years to come.”

My province switched to permanent DST this year, so we’re experiencing it for the first time and it’s… not that bad 🤷

I’m in Vancouver where it’s already cloudy, and some kids were already heading to school an hour early for various extracurriculars

IMO if kids going to school in the dark is really a problem, then it should be fixed by adjusting when school starts and ends rather than changing the clock for every single person. I like having more sunlight in the afternoon when I can make use of it, compared to in the morning when it’s used up by transit / getting ready for work and school.

However I wouldn’t mind it too much if we had switched to permanent standard time either. I’m just glad that we don’t have to change anymore.

Neat, I wonder if there are other form factors for the microwave one. This particular one might not work well for some dishes.

For the second tool, what kind of stuff have you used it for?

For my submission: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seam_ripper

I got it to cut off itchy tags and frayed threads, etc, but you can also use it to slice open envelopes

I think some mobile apps get rid of the duplicates, although I’m not familiar with which ones do that. Unless someone else replies here, you could try posting to !lemmyapps@lemmy.world

Proton CEO:

then go on reddit and point it out to users

so go on there with your personal account and comment to set the record straight

Then the employee claims, for some reason

I’m breaking my silence

Have you tried a structured course for learning? I remember CodeAcademy being free ages ago, or say Odin Project for web development specifically

Some universities also release their courses online for free, on edx for example.

The article feels like an LLM helped write it, but it’s comprehensive nonetheless. I recently switched to bare llama.cpp since I have limited hardware capabilities and this squeezes a tiny bit more out of it. However, my usage is limited to learning / testing

I think you forgot to link the article. This one has the same title, but a different image on it

I thought this post was going to be about the “missionaries in your area”, as a reference to the “hot singles in your area” ads

It seems to differ on desktop vs mobile

Even then, it’s only useful when you are using a program that doesn’t need the keyboard, and only if you don’t need to use any other programs at the time.

For example, if you are in class and you want to take notes, a separate tablet works a lot better than folding the laptop.

That’s where my mind went, I was surprised with how “normal” it felt

I think the problem with a ban is that the creators of AI slop will stop disclosing or tagging it.

Allowing it with tags + letting users filter it out might be the best way to reduce it?

IMO the title cards would have worked better. This makes it seem like you’re supposed to hear the sound that the vehicles made

Also, was Air Wolf that popular? I would have swapped it with MacGyver, and I’m judging that based on how often other pop culture seems to reference the shows above (ex. Community, etc).

MacGyver is popular enough that some people use it to describe when something is juryrigged/improvised. They might even understand it better than those alternate definitions

If I can offer some context, since I think we’ve been getting the same DMs and registration applications that this community is getting.

For the past few weeks, we’ve received a number of messages and registration applications from LLM run accounts that include text such as “I represent {{some business}}”, “I want to participate in {{communities related to said business}}”, “This account is run by an {{LLM/Agent/etc.}}”.

It also includes lines like “I will mark myself as a bot as per rule #_”, “I won’t post until I get permission”, “you can always tell me no”, etc.

They’re long and they’re getting tedious to deal with. I’ve been rejecting them on the grounds that there is no human operator to speak to, and most of these communities do not want LLM created content / shills from a business.

I also considered making an explicit rule with the hopes that the automated system will read it and leave us alone

I think better compatibility with the Mastodon side would go a long way towards fixing the userbase / content problem.

https://fedidb.com/

There are 672k monthly active users on Mastodon who can’t easily interact with threadiverse. Although this is mostly a change that they need to implement

@zeejoo@thelemmy.club

Going through and downvoting unrelated content on a user’s profile is seen as harassment and vote manipulation. Doing that repeatedly will result bans

That’s great to hear! Sorry if the post caused any potential stress, I’ve edited the end of the post and I’m open to editing it further to not give anyone the wrong impression.

Looking forward to seeing this in action :)

The spammer was this user, it looked like one of those impersonation accounts that pop up on Mastodon instances from time to time. You might have already banned the user by the time we got to it: @elonspacex49.bsky.social@coves.social

The seller isn’t necessarily being weird, “sofa-cum-bed”/“sofa-come-bed”/“sofa-co-bed” is actually how people refer to it in some places.

I think it comes from the Latin for “with”. The same thing happens with some historical academic distinctions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_honors

summa cum laude (/ˈsuːmə/), meaning “with highest praise”, typically awarded to graduates in the top 1%, 2%, or 5% of their class, depending on the institution. Some institutions either do not award the summa cum laude distinction or award it only in extraordinary circumstances
