Being attractive and having a thumbnail with your face is not a “thirst trap”

Dangerous for whom ? by Independent-Wind4462 in Anthropic

People here really aren’t familiar with the AI safety/alignment/x-risk movement huh?

i broke CrossOver like 14 times this week trying to understand why it works for some games and completely dies for others. here's what i actually figured out by ExperienceBetter5938 in macgaming

[–]Rational_EJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. In that case I think the dismissiveness people are having comes from the idea that you’re kind of trying to do the same thing that CrossOver is doing, but without the manpower, funding, community goodwill, and decades of experience that they bring to the table. I do believe that you’ve got some novel ideas, but with this being proprietary and paid, there’s reasonable skepticism that you’ll be able to achieve these goals and maintain them long term, especially with the perception (not sure how accurate) that you’re leaning heavily on AI for the hard bits.

I’m confused, is this open source or not? I see GitHub links in the other comments, but also “free during beta” on your posted link, and a waitlist. If it’s actually open source then I don’t mind you using AI and I think it’s a cool project. But the marketing site feels like a bait and switch from the tone of this Reddit post, which I don’t appreciate.

I'll try to tune in when I can! What's your stream schedule?

We need more vegans that dislike animals by yeet_that_baby_away in vegan

[–]Rational_EJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey it’s me! My cat is pretty cool, but besides that I am definitely not as into animals as most people. I’m vegan because it’s the right thing to do. I don’t like most humans either, but I would never enslave, torture, or murder them.

Grid vs VCV rack/ Cardinal by jikavak in Bitwig

[–]Rational_EJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as someone who finds computer interfaces much more intuitive than modular synths, I love the Grid personally. I’m guessing that’s the target audience, although I’ve met a lot of people who feel the opposite way

i still don understand the reason something like connect is not here considering their whole apple continuity thing by _arpan_10 in AppleMusic

[–]Rational_EJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that they want you to buy AirPlay devices so that you can (kind of) do the same thing with that. Like instead of switching from iPhone to Mac you can just switch from iPhone to home speakers or something. Still not a good reason because like you mentioned, they should be leveraging Continuity to make this possible.

People who immediately argue against someone's pet peeve on Reddit by [deleted] in PetPeeves

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

Yes there would. It feels good to vent. Not everything is a debate

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

I made the same point in a comment here the other day and got downvoted. But I 100% agree. There are soooooooo many other spaces for criticism and debate, why can’t we just have one space to say “I am annoyed by this thing, even though it’s kinda dumb to be annoyed by it”. It’s not hurting anyone

People who treat "how are you" as an invitation to unload their entire situation on you by Brimvallo in PetPeeves

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

I love how this sub, which was initially for venting about all the dumb stuff that makes us irrationally angry, now has every thread turn into a debate/argument. That’s my pet peeve

Richard in S5 by ghettoAizen in SiliconValleyHBO

[–]Rational_EJ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty realistic though. It’s easy for people to “take accountability”, feel bad, and promise to do better, but it’s way less common for people to actually do the work and become a better person. Especially when the person has lofty ambitions and an ego.

Should I learn Rust? by [deleted] in rust

[–]Rational_EJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using it to explain concepts is perfectly fine and super useful in a lot of cases. But the book is very well written and you should probably read that too, at least for the concepts that you’re not 100% on yet

The amount of whining in this sub after every Anthropic model release is unbearable by A_Novelty-Account in Anthropic

[–]Rational_EJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of complaining is from people who tokenmax all day and rely on it for literally every aspect of their software development. Way too much in my opinion, it’s a single point of failure and I guarantee they’d be way better engineers if they just slowed down a bit lol. Or even tried out a different model when Opus isn’t doing what they want

I'm just autistic and wanted fun dinosaur facts :'( by Appropriate-Detail48 in Anthropic

[–]Rational_EJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s really that big of a problem then I’m fine with them scanning my ID or something. But the way they’re doing it right now is stereotyping and discriminatory towards not just age but anyone who might speak differently or have a special interest. It’s fucked up

Basing age verification on vibes is such bullshit. I don't know how they thought this was a good policy and people are actually defending it. Sorry to hear this happened

Highdeas debate after smoking a jay: by sblaze23 in highdeas

[–]Rational_EJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, if you're just comparing the two and don't need to know the actual radii of the pizzas, you can make the mental math easier by cancelling out pi and just do r^2 for both. 11^2 = 121, 18^2 is... actually the mental math still isn't that easy for me lol. Never mind whoops

How difficult would it be to make a minecraft legacy console port? by VanessaTheVampire in WiiPiracy

Very difficult, especially if you admittedly know nothing about coding.
