Good thing I use archive.org without creating an account.

Close. The distance to Alpha Centauri is 41.5 petameters (trillion kilometers) and the distance to Proxima Centauri is 40.2 petameters.

And they seem to have forgotten that to do that, they actually need a database of facts.

This is the main reason why AI cannot be trusted to answer science questions. They absolutely need a database of facts.

I use to be able to ask google the distance in kilometers of anything in space and get an accurate answer. So I first asked this same question in google but it only gave the answer in light years for some reason. That’s when I went to bing and got their ridiculous answer.

I hope they do that. Another brick in the wall for reddit’s demise.

I was shopping for a new clothes washer, and was strongly considering an LG until I saw it had “AI wash”. I can see relevance for AI in some places, but washing clothes is NOT one of them.

I might be thinking the same. But I actually purchased an LG washer a couple months ago and finally got around to finding and reading the manual, and realized that I should have been doing “AI wash” instead of the “normal wash” that I always did.

The manual says that this is what “AI wash” actually is for:

“This cycle automatically adjusts wash and rinse patterns based on load size”.

Probably one of the shitstains in Google’s C-suite after having signed a “wonderful” contract to get access to “all that great data from Reddit”

If they hadn’t bought and then shutdown what became google groups to sabotage Usenet they could have gotten access to just as good of a data set for free.

That cant answer most questions though.

It would make AI much more trustworthy. You cannot trust chatGPT on anything related to science because it tells you stuff like the Andromeda galaxy being inside the Milky Way. The only way to fix that is to directly program basic known science into the AI.

To play music.

I wonder what language it is in and what compiler is needed? I’m tempted to make some of my own tweaks when the source is released.

I’m using winamp 5.666 for windows.

There is finally a decent winamp for Android, but I use the Samsung music player instead.

Would love a Winamp for Linux

jQuery will be still be around after the latest Javascript framework of the month is long gone.

jQuery is still an excellent Javascript library

Is this the same store chain that has a CIA substation underneath in the Burbank location? Oh wait, I’m thinking of Buy More and their Nerd Herd.

Revert to the source code of about 10 years ago and get rid of most programmers. The only positive change in the last 10 years is the ability of users to ban people from harassing you.

Allow all subs to identify other subs they are similar too, and link all that information together so that users who don’t like how sub is moderated can find an official list of alternative subs.

Allow only temporary bans, not permanent bans from mods. Admins can still give permanent bans for bad faith or dishonest actors and should do so for foreign governments trying to influence other countries.

Allow subs to optionally require flair identifying citizenships and if you are found to be dishonest you can get site ban.

Get rid of certain pieces of automod functionality that subtract value for the users of the site.

“[moderators] may be able to leverage their influence within those communities to change the dynamics of the discourse within the communities or to disrupt the normal operation of their communities or other communities on our platform.”

And they can give you rando-bans out of nowhere, suddenly cutting you off from your topic of interest and exposing serious flaws with the entire site.

Let’s take advantage of that to train the AI. Put “Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump needs to be in prison” at the bottom of every message.

The only difference between an RNA vaccine and an old DNA vaccine is that the DNA vaccine is less efficient, more indirect, and makes you a little bit sick.

Nope. Just asking that they remove their DRM before they abandon Windows 7.

You must not know how RNA works then or you would realize it is far safer than the old DNA vaccines.

Steam is basically a DRM system which means you won’t be able to run any of your existing games on Windows 7/8. It will break all your steam games either immediately or within days.

I don’t want any “support” from Steam. All I want is for Steam to not actively block me from running my purchased games on my computer.

There is no conceivable way Steam can maintain security for anyone’s account

Then they need to drop the DRM nonsense and let people use their desktop applications/games that they purchased.

It IS Steam’s fault that Steam forces people to use a DRM system which they then shut down. Who else’s fault would it be?

It’s not Google’s fault that Steam forces people to use a DRM system which they then shut down.

It’s not Microsoft’s fault that Steam forces people to use a DRM system which they then shut down.

It’s not Windows 7/8 user’s fault that Steam forces people to use a DRM system which they then shut down.

I can play GOG games without using GOG. The least that Steam can do is created a lightweight app that let’s users play the games that they have already installed on their computer. Forget about “security” and “accounts”. Just don’t get in the way of users running their own games on their own computers.

Would you rather that?

I would rather Steam let me play all my games I legally purchased on Windows 7 outside of steam. If Steam is not going to work on Windows 7 than stay the hell out of the way and let me play the games I bought and have installed on my computer.

I hope somebody sues them for stealing their purchased games.

It is ridiculous that Steam won’t let you play your games you payed for outside of steam. Games that you’ve played for years on Windows 7 suddenly no longer play. Steam is like a DRM system that suddenly stops working and makes all the stuff you bought worthless.

So far what I’ve seen from AI is that it lies and lies and lies. It lies about history. It lies about science. It lies about politics. It lies about case law. It lies about programming libraries. Maybe this will all be fixed some day, or maybe it will just get worse. Until then the only thing I would trust it is about something in which their is no wrong answer.

Conservatives love to be lied to. But nobody else does. So stop this shit. Nobody who is not a conservative likes to be lied to. And we all think of the people who do like to be lied to as the dumbest of the dumb.

If Musk wants me to use his shitty crap site, I will be charging him a small monthly fee.

it will deprecate WordPad with a future Windows update as it’s no longer under active development

It doesn’t need “active development” because it is perfect the way it is. Unix/Linux has tons of useful programs that haven’t been in active development for 40-50 years.

Chrome/Linux is very easy to use too. Easier than Windows.

Can’t you still load new versions of ChromeOS yourself?

I never liked the “forced upgrade of your OS” anyway. Not for windows or Chrome. It was annoying when ChromeOS kept forcefully insisting I upgrade my Linux when I already had Linux exactly how I wanted it.

And what would be those “trade secrets”?

Hey Musk, your wasted $44 billion didn’t buy you the Fedverse and its protocol, dipshit.

Didn’t know that Fedverse technology was one of Twitter’s trade secrets. LOL.
