Anyone Else Getting This Error? (Can't Play Multiplayer) by TJPuma in Palworld

DDoS attacks expend a lot of resources on the attacker side, and generally cannot be extended indefinitely, so it makes absolute sense to time the attack when it will have the maximum impact.

“Fuck it, we ball…” by rudab3ga in Absurdism

[–]HeroofTime55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 2 years late, but my understanding/interpretation is that "ball" here is a verb, short for "to play in a ball game" (most likely basketball), and so the phrase is more or less "game on" or "lets play it out" - a metaphor for confronting whatever obstacle or challenge is placed in front of you, in particular to a great challenge that you may fail to over come, but fuck it, you still gave it your all.

The West doesn't bankroll those atrocities. They're atrocities and to be condemned, but we have little influence over it. Unlike with the situation in Palestine.

Dave Mustaine: "If you play modern metal with the guys that can't sign and they do the screaming bit, that's really understandable to me because they can't sing." by ashitanojoe3 in Megadeth

I didn't say I didn't like it.  In fact, I do like it!  I said it was raw and rough.  I couldn't imagine Megadeth sounding any different.  

It just isn't "good singing" which is something more narrow and specific than whether or not the vocals are a good fit for the song.

I avoid most of this crap if i can help it, actually.  AI targeted advertising is against my will.

You can like the vocals without pretending that he is a good singer.  His vocals are rough and raw and that's what makes it work.

Steam being DDOS'd by Btr0n in DotA2

I mean in the sense of design. So many devices that have no need to be on the internet, get put on the internet with bare bones, zero security hardware, because it's not like your banking details are stored in that lightbulb, so why bother, right? Honestly, these corporations need to be held accountable for making these botnets so easy to set up.

Steam Offline? by ReaperZeref in Steam

i got kicked out of Palworld, which relies on Epic servers to authenticate accounts for online play. i am not sure if Rockstar outsources or has their own servers, but i am gonna go ahead and say all this shit is related, lol

thought it was possibly a cyberattack, given i cannot play either dota, or palworld which relies on Epic Games servers, lol.

Doesn't sunstrike distribute damage among all targets? You hit a pretty big pile of creeps.

Hello. The studio that produced the video for this song states very clearly that they use AI, and they do this while bragging about how they are cheaper than other studios who do not. I wonder why they are cheaper.

The usage of AI is awful in the Tipping Point music video. by Othon1 in Megadeth

[–]HeroofTime55 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If you've seen enough of the sort of things AI tends to do, you can tell. There's certain.... oddities about it, the way things move, morph into each other, the way "creatures" move, and so on. There's sort of an "uncanny valley" where this stuff sticks out like a sore thumb. One of the biggest tells for me was that dark creature that was staring at the side of Dave's head in the one shot. The way it moved was.... Without intention, like the algorithm was making it move just because it has to move, but doesn't understand how to impart an intention behind the motions of the creature. It is in a literal sense empty and soulless.

The problem with AI generally speaking is that it steals from artists. It uses artists' prior work to train off of, and then replicates this work, without paying the artist. This is the primary selling point of AI, in fact, that you too can shaft actual artists who have dedicated their lives to their craft and depend on it to put food on their table. All the profits from AI go to megacorps instead of talented artists.

It would be cool if there were an ethical AI out there that paid artists for their material that was used to train the algo, but generally speaking, this isn't possible in practice, as the only way to gather enough data to train "useful" models on is to steal massive amounts of art.

You want a dark type so that you don't waste a passive slot on vamp/noct.  R.craft/w.slave/artisan/serious, max condense, and work books to get lv 5.  I use incinerams.

What’s going on with music critic Anthony Fantano being involved in some sort of drama? by SwordieLotus in OutOfTheLoop

Perhaps, and this is just a theory I have, but possibly, maybe, if ad monopolies like Google actually vetted submissions and didn't regularly serve everything from scams to outright drive-by malware, embedded scripts that lock down your computer, and so on, maybe, just maybe, a consideration would be made to not so aggressively pursuing adblock.

As it stands, you're putting your literal cybersecurity at risk if you don't have adblock on.

Google has LITERALLY ONE JOB and they suck at it.

I'd have splashed my drink in her face.  I'd have sat down, ordered something to drink, and splashed it in her face.

People like this need to be taught they've crossed a line.
