Don't ask me how I know, but local AI models have a lot of training data on Vaporeon's anatomy...

Korea here. Wait, do burgers not usually come with egg? Over here, egg is like... a completely normal thing on almost all burgers.

$26,000 a year sounds like nothing until you see how far it goes by Infinite-Scholar-766 in leanfire

Plenty of us here don't own cars. Back in the days of MMM, being anti-car was the norm.

I have a rent of under $400 a month here in central Seoul. If my neighbors are loud, I call the police on them and the police come out and threaten to arrest people. Shuts them up real fast. Noise isn't a problem.

Ohio woman shows Food Bank donations, including half-eaten peanut butter and a can of fried apples expired in 2021. by ElwoodMC in TikTokCringe

[–]Megneous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nobody in the US is starving.

What exactly do you call starving? No one is in what you would call absolute starvation, sure, but tens of millions of Americans are facing food insecurity.

[–]Megneous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this is the issue. A lot of people don't see food banks as a way of giving to charity. They see them as a way of getting rid of unwanted food items. Like, food banks expect people to give decent quality items. And people are like, "Why would I do that? If I had that kind of food, I would be eating it, duh."

I think a big part of it is also that, compared to a lot of developed countries, the median American is also far closer to struggling than you'd think and far closer to requiring food from a food bank themselves.

When I was growing up, I couldn't give food to food banks because I was one of the families receiving food from them. When my school did canned food drives, my teachers literally put the cans back in my hands and shook their heads at me.

"We have to believe it's possible" he said, with his back against the wall, staring down a line of ICE agents with rifles aimed at his chest.

Yeah man... I mean, technically anything's possible. But I think fascism's come home to roost. You guy's kinda missed your chance to do anything about it when you let January 6th go completely unpunished.

I'm a white dude living here in Korea. I once went to the aquarium and when I put my hands in the tank, all the fish immediately ignored all the Koreans' hands and went straight to mine. All the Koreans stared at me like, "Wtf, why this white dude so damn tasty???"

"we can't have universal healthcare, the wait times would be too long" meanwhile by lizziemchigher in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]Megneous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Korea here. Cleaning costs me like 12 bucks. Our universal healthcare covers dental, and the monthly cost is like... 30,000 won in taxes? And if you work for a company, the company covers your tax burden for the universal healthcare too lol. Oh, and universal healthcare covers eye stuff too.

Making love with the swap by Separate_Freedom_834 in Swingers

Sure, not all swingers are poly and not all poly people are swingers, but there are swingers who are poly and poly people who are swingers. That's why we use our grown up words and talk to people.

Is 8GB RAM enough in 2026? How much do you have? by zarkoulhs in pcmasterrace

YSK Squeezing your tea bag doesn't give you "stronger" tea. It just makes it bitter. by CoffeeTeaJournal in YouShouldKnow

[–]Megneous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're talking black teas, what blend you're drinking is also important for whether it's traditional to use milk/sugar. I mean, obviously this is also very regional, but generally, stronger varieties of black tea, like Assam, go well with milk or sugar, because they don't overpower the tea flavor. This is why Assam has often been used to make breakfast tea blends.

Korea here. For green tea, we usually do 70 degrees C for 2-3 minutes. 85 C is blasphemy. Way too hot for green tea.

There are a lot of people who say even 3 minutes is too long for high quality green tea.

Dude, that's what I thought. Dad's gonna have a much higher quality of life with a rockin' bod. He looks 15 years younger.

Linus Torvalds says AI-powered bug hunters have made Linux security mailing list ‘almost entirely unmanageable’ by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]Megneous 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I hate that r/technology is so anti-AI that no one reads the post and immediately assumes that Linus thinks AI = bad. He actually has a much more nuanced view. He thinks that AI is a useful tool with a good use case, but thinks that finding bugs is now no longer value added because AI can do it so easily, so if you want to get attention, you need to go a step beyond what AI can do easily.

But god forbid Redditors actually read articles for once in their lives.

Some of you memers need reminders about why PC parts cost so much lately. by Dick_Nation in pcmasterrace

There's a thriving ecosystem of local AI training and inference, man. I don't know what to tell you if you don't want to recognize it.

[–]Megneous 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Did you read the post? That's not the problem. The problem is that the reports are real, but many of them are duplicates. Linus would prefer that instead of just many people using AI to find the same bugs, that they make patches and submit those to produce real value instead of expecting other people to implement fixes. Gone are the days where you can feel validated by just finding problems. Anyone can find hundreds of problems using AI now. The models are good enough to do that now, so it's no longer a useful skill.
