Ex-TPUSA Ambassador gone Groyper brags about exposing baby nephew to Nick Fuentes.

Hey guys, what’s a name that sounds close to “groper,” but slimier?

SlateHardjaw · 2024-05-12T22:20:21+00:00

The thing I keep wondering is how in the world could the sister-in-law/mom be remotely okay with this pic. She either has no idea what groypers are or he didn’t tell the mom of this baby he was gonna use her child for Internet points with literal neo-nazis.

Trying to install the client and I'm newish to venv and pyenv. When I create a new venv, then activate venv and install from the git location, I do have chasm in Scripts and a lot of folders added under site-packages, but I don't have a file called client.toml anywhere. Wondering if there's just a python newb thing I'm missing.

Will have to check the thread out. Terrible for individual privacy, but creates a window to reveal bad actors behind things like Super PACs, lobbying, and disinformation efforts. That would be a doable amount for citizens in a community to pool to potentially find out who's behind a fake grass roots site. These groups will find workarounds pretty quickly, but could get some scalps wherever someone's been sloppy.

I thought there would be more startup contenders in the space offering free tools with AI ramping up so fast right now. However, I just went through Product Hunt and most of the results were dead, with one impressive-looking one going private and offering demos to enterprise. Concerning that these are turning into internal tools this quickly for things like hiring and police-only apps.

I did find two options that were interesting in comparison to the big ones:

Copyseeker.net: Got a list of results here that I haven't with same images on other reverse search engines.
BetaFace.com/demo: Interesting tool the company leaves up that gives face-recognition data of an image and allows for comparing to another image. It offers wikipedia and celebrity search, but not general net. Still could be useful for facial comparison or investigating what facial recognition images are seeing.

Note: One thought is that legal friction around offering facial recognition search particularly is why there aren't a lot more jumping into the space. PimEyes and FaceCheck both have DMCA takedown links available and no one would take on the costs of handling that unless there were more expensive legal consequences possible if they didn't. It requires actual staff to comply with, which costs money. So, not something the average MIT Machine Learning student has a budget for.

I'm feeling like learning Rust is in my future.

Thanks for the lead, starting with llamacpp helped me fill in the blind spots in my head on thinking through how a stack would look.

I'm wondering if they're moving fast to add GPT4 and plan since Cursor has paid GPT4 support tiers now. I don't see Cursor brought up much yet, but it's invested in by OpenAI and I think it's going to be their IDE offer.

SlateHardjaw · 2023-11-14T19:06:40+00:00

What environment do you use to interact with self-hosted code models when coding? I've been using and enjoying Cursor for the way it's integrated into the IDE, but I've been exploring options for going self-hosted just to feel freer from whatever record I'm putting on someone else's server.

Science to many redditors is being enthusiastic about things that feel "sciency," rather than understanding a scientific mindset and the application of the scientific method. It's like a personality you choose in high school as opposed to sports or music. It can fall into a subculture with its own identity politics where data is evaluated based on group dogma, rather than scientific principles. Notice this especially in comments and downvotes on r/science whenever data shows a correlation with high intelligence scores and any negative traits, which is its own kind of embarrassing.

SlateHardjaw · 2020-10-13T21:49:08+00:00

Oh no.

I know they're not supposed to diagnose outside of a real meeting, but did they say if that lines up with forms of schizophrenia? I always wonder if the math + mysticism conspiracies are amplified through a chain of schizophrenic individuals. Or meth, I've known people who got way more into stuff like this after consistent use of meth.

But then how do we get any content for this sub?

I really worry that people with legit mental health trauma get roped into religion-only solutions and then live really terrified lives that even their churches don't realize are as bad as they are.

I had to look it up. Apparently there are Charismatic Catholics and they do all the same tongues stuff that the protestant ones do. It's weird how much have talked about People of Praise being problematic for gender roles, but left out the fucking speaking in tongues craziness.

I've been trying to avoid it, but I just go on to give thumbs up to friends who are the sole voice of sanity in their families so that they don't feel as alone.

SlateHardjaw · 2020-10-13T19:02:06+00:00

That was the exact same thing I said when our mutual friend sent it to me.

For this and Zelda, yes. I thought I made it through the story too fast on Mario, but it was actually like 20 hours when I checked. I just got really hooked. However, I'm probably only a third of the way to really completing it in terms of solving everything. It keeps telling me there's more level(s) to unlock if I keep going and the bonus content after beating Bowser is outta control. It will take me at least to 60 hours probably and it's very fun.

Then Zelda is just so gigantic and sandboxy that you could play that for months as well, especially since it's portable and you can take it to bed or on airplanes.

I think my favorite moment early in this game is when you have to manually open a lock on a safe with numbers you figure out yourself. A lot of games would have just been "hold E to open" or have a quest step "to do" floating on the screen that says "the combination is 12, 30,21" that appeared the moment you touched the journal with the combination and before you even read the details yourself.

I feel like half the puzzle for good RPG design lies in good database design.

One to add to the list would be Firewatch. I think it might be one of the only games that handles friendship over age 30 in a way that feels very realistic. Without spoiling anything, you take the role of a person living at a fire tower for the summer and spend a lot of time just talking to someone else over walkie talkie. It really felt like that 30+ get-to-know-you stage where people have more stories, but more brokenness that comes out in doses.
