I think it has the potential for allowing more people to pursue artisanry. Ideally we get the LLMs to start tackling the drudgery so more people are freed up to pusue the work they’re passionate about.

Good attempt! Your joke still makes sense. Bob Barker hosted the price is right not Jeopardy.

Oof, that was pretty funny.

I agree with you, I recently explained it to a group of engineers and techs.

Fair points. I’d advocate for some labelling to indicate that it’s a repost and not true OC. I didn’t do a broader search into the user’s behaviour but looked at the community quickly and they’ve been the only one posting content here for a month.

I haven’t read them yet but it looks like there’s more comments on this post now. I think interaction within this community, even without the reddit OOP, provides the value for me to differentiate it from slop i.e. pull it out of reddit and (presumably) real people are discussing it.

I appreciate the reposts. I’m not going on Reddit and I like a little light fluff in my feed, Lemmy’s low user count makes it hard for this to happen organically. All the people that complain can easily block you or could choose/make/contribute to communities that prohibit reposting.

I haven’t read the article but what’s described in the headline is abhorerent. Ironically the technology could be used to identifying times when artists’ identities are being misattributed or stolen. Pretty simple for an artist to define their portfolio then have a bot flag anything it finds with their signature on it that they didn’t create themselves.

The backlash was because your response is ambiguous, it was likely interpretted by the people criticizing you as a legitimate question rather than your intended sarcasm.

I’d expect most or nearly all people active in this conversation agree that parasocial relationships are bad but you’re continuing on like their criticism of your communication is an endorsement for celebrity worship.

I get such a gut reaction to start arguing with you about these topics and then have to remind myself that this is just reporting, not necessarily (or likely) your personal opinions.

That’s probably a good way of uncovering that these stupid fucking topics are designed to create division and Canadian infighting. For instance we have universal healthcare in this country, if you are “injured by a vaccine” you should recieve healthcare and suport to deal with your injury regardless of the cause. Singling out vaccines in this specifically is just politicing.

Canada is alternative option. British Columbia has similar geography to Oregon and we likewise have national parks. There’s lots of regions where Canada and US each have complementary national parks on the border with hiking trails that cross the border into each other’s parks. I don’t know how those are being managed under the current state of affairs however.

I miss unexpectantly learning about how everything relates to that time undertaker threw mankind off a cage and the alternative uses for booster cables.

The original justification for patents at least had some logic to it. In exchange for progressing the state of the art and telling everyone else how your new invention works you get a period of market exclusivity. There was/is the option to not patent ideas and keep them as trade secrets instead, at the risk of others figuring out your idea.

Unfortunately for all of us 20 years is a really long time for exclusivity at our current tech development pace and in no way are patents consumable information for laypeople. The nonsense filings that get granted and all the lawyers involved have turned it into yet another tool only available to the wealthy.

I haven’t read anything on this beyond this post but I hope a large part of this investment goes toward constructive drone technology, not just a destructive military focus. There’s a ton of overlap in developing the knowhow, manufacturing capacity, supply chains etc. There would be some unique requirements for defense applications but I’d rather us focus on developing things like agricultural or forestry drones with the ability to reassign those industries to defense if needed.

I think that headline has cause and effect backwards. Running out of diesel is what’s causing prices to surge. Hormuz supply has stopped, global oil reserves are being depleted. The supply has been reduced so price will continue to increase until enough of the market can no longer afford to purchase before it hits an equilibrium again. This doesn’t even account for companies taking advantage of the situation and choosing to increase price to capture additional profit.

I generally agree with that sentiment. With respect to Canada’s firearms laws I think the legislation we had was decent including the previously available restricted licenses for handguns. I’m not personally and advocate for handguns but I think the requirements for storage, transportation, background checks, etc. allowed those that wanted to pursue the hobby to do so while also maintaining a level of safety for the general public. There’s probably some tweaks to be made and loopholes to close but a decent framework.

I don’t think we’re at this point in Canada but I would condone breaking laws that are amoral or unethical. To take it to an extreme, I support the actions of the resistance fighters that were breaking the laws of nazi Germany. I was intending to convey something more along the lines that if someone believes so strongly that was the only path to keeping themself and their loved ones safe then they have the freewill to act accordingly, they’ll just have to live with the consequences of their actions.

A problem with DMCA is that it runs opposite of the rest of the legal system. DMCA takedowns operate on a guilty until proven innocent priniciple. This might be manageable if there were consequences for abusing the takedown system.

Unfortunately this looks to be another area where a previously functioning service is no longer being provided at the same level of quality.

I think you can learn the skills within our existing legal framework. If I were to introduce someone to firearms that has no prior firearms experience we’d be starting with a 22 or maybe even a pellet gun. Access to currently prohibited weapons to further advance individuals that already possess skills is a completely different topic. This doesn’t even start to address the realities of the role of firearms in modern conflict.

There’s lots of more valuable ways for people to spend their time “preparing” for whatever the future holds for us. If someone thinks that prohibited weapons are the key to survival they can seek training through other means like joining the reserves. Or take an active role in politics and work towards changing the legislation. Or if things are so bad already then break the law and learn/possess those weapons anyway.

What deliberately two faced language this is. The executive sitting in US contributing nothing to the creation of this product technically fulfills the statement that it’s made with American jobs.

I wouldn’t put it past these companies to put this type of marketing on products 100% from Mexico or any other North or South American country. Gross manipulation of technical correctness.

Ideally this is just one of several rail related initiatives and we have more announcements coming.
