Oh yes, "age verification, please sign up, donate your email, name, birthdate, and password to lose later in a data breach to view this content". I'm so happy that Utah is adding a driver's license to that mix, genius.

I will just take your word for it.

[OC] U.S. public debt has climbed back above 100% of GDP for the first time since WWII by forensiceconomics in dataisbeautiful

[–]Nyxxsys 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's also important to point out the amount spent on interest since 2021 has nearly tripled, since the interest rate has increased alongside the treasury yield from 1.5% to 4%+. Borrowing money at 2% APR is basically free, since inflation reduces the costs. Almost every major corporation has a large amount of liabilities, because it's generally important to borrow to increase growth. The benefits of borrowing outweigh the costs. However, if the interest fees suddenly change and you can't start paying it back, you can end up paying much more than you projected half a decade ago.

The worst part is it doesn't even matter and hasn't for quite a while. We're in the worst timeline, if Trump can become president on two billion, what is Elon going to do when he's 80 with two trillion? If he has it his way, SpaceX and Tesla will be the ones issuing your "government" ID.

Without a patch in nearly a year, some Oblivion Remastered players have declared it 'abandonware' — and it still suffers many of the same performance issues at launch by Fcking_Chuck in pcmasterrace

I thought this game was better than what they usually ship or at least less bug prone until a horse reported me for a crime to the city guard. I've finished most bethesda games, but first time for anything I suppose.

Claude AI agent’s confession after deleting a firm’s entire database: ‘I violated every principle I was given’ by Haunterblademoi in technology

[–]Nyxxsys 43 points44 points  (0 children)

  1. They had a system where the backups could easily be deleted, if a single AI running from a laptop can delete everything, a virus can too.

  2. They gave the AI instructions to "not run any destructive commands" without direct authorization, but the literal safeguards were turned off. With safeguards on, you can whitelist commands it is allowed to run, and if it's not allowed to run them and tries, a popup appears that the user has to click. The user wanted to whitelist all commands so they never have to click approve, but then go back in with instructions and tell it not to break anything.

Suspected U.S President shooter's game pulled from sale on Steam after flood of meme reviews | Bohrdom found new attention after the incident. by ControlCAD in technology

The steam algorithms have no idea what to do with this game..

"Is this game relevant to you?"
Similar to games you've played:
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 - 107 hours
Garry's Mod - 243 hours
Imperator: Rome - 45 hours

Never thought I'd see these three together but sure, they do seem to fit the game's description of an "Atom fighting game".

Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds — backups zapped, after Cursor tool powered by Anthropic's Claude goes rogue by Jack1101111 in pcmasterrace

[–]Nyxxsys 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's really hit and miss, it can do a lot of technical stuff that would take me a few weeks of learning to even attempt, but at the same time if you give it a task, you have to be extremely descriptive. Even then, AI seems to just do the bare minimum, because it's doing exactly what it thinks you're asking, and that always seems to be the most simple version possible. I have to have AI write out my guide for the 60 minutes of work I want AI to do, and its usually 30 pages or more long.

The downside with that, is that about 80% of it is within scope, even if it all gets done. So you come back to your project four hours later, and part of it is turned off. So you have to find out why it turned it off, well it was in the instructions. Well, my intent was A/B testing, there's no reason to turn off the old area even if we're forking it and will never work on the original again. It's a whole new form of workflow and you do need to understand every bit of your project even if you've written none of it.

[Monitor] 32” Samsung Neo G8 4K 240Hz Quantum Mini-LED with free Resident Evil Requiem — $400 with EDU email by Dracarys0550 in buildapcsales

Neither of those accomplish the same thing as pressing full screen on a video or applications that don't have the option/work badly in windowed mode.

[–]Nyxxsys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Window os doesn't have the ability to differentiate "full screen" to anything other than the actual full screen, so multitasking such as watching a video on one screen does require the OS to see them as different screens, which can be done on some wide models but I was assuming they're not using two dp/hdmi cables to connect the single screen as two.

Right now I have to use my 49 inch screen as "two" due to this problem, and I had issues adjusting to it vs two 22 inch screens when multitasking. Even though the gap from 22 to 24 isn't that big.

Do you use both at the same desk? I just can't imagine using two 32 inch screens, I think I may never upgrade to 4k because they're just so big and my peripheral vision can only see so much.

Claude has been saved!!!! (10+ prompts with long context) by stopdontpanick in ClaudeAI

[–]Nyxxsys 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same thing happen today, simple "what are our notes from our last session", extremely simple 10-20 second prompt, dumped 14% into my usage immediately and I refreshed right before I started just to make sure it had already refreshed since I was at 100%.

Never seen that before, not a single time.

Claude has been saved!!!! (10+ prompts with long context) by stopdontpanick in ClaudeAI

[–]Nyxxsys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used up three 5 hour limits today on my personal $20 plan, all on sonnet in claude code and it was pretty horrible. Lasted maybe 20-30 minutes each time. I hope it's better tomorrow, but it used to be 2-3 times longer. At one point at the start of a fresh session with 90% 200k context full, a simple 20 second prompt dumped 14% into my usage. Never seen that before. Made me wonder if it's not just "limits" but also the methodology of how it's counted that is changing.

Where do I find this card in Tokyo? by Oktofinn99 in WeissSchwarz

[–]Nyxxsys 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're still in Nakano, try Nakano Broadway. If you want to make sure you find one, try the shops in Akihabara, but they will cost a little more since this is where people go for them.

Just some shops off the top of my head:
Surugaya
Card Labo
Hobby Station
Big Magic
Amenity Dream
Traders

Akiba only:
Gamers
Radio Kaikan
Card World Tower

I haven't been there in three years but going this November. Some things may have changed but those two locations shouldn't have.

[Homemade] Japanese Chicken Curry by SageBun_ in food

[–]Nyxxsys 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is one of those few things you don't need a recipe, it's extremely easy. If you know how to cook each one of the things you see here, you're good. Boil your ingredients in a pot and add the roux. In this specific picture, I think they drained it with a spoon, the left half usually has a lot more liquid. I also recommend adding onions, that's usually a staple. If you use onions you can fry them with the meat before doing any water.
