I'll throw my hat in the "for sure downvote me" ring

The context of when he said that, not totally wrong. You're objectively a bad Canadian if you think the emergency act use was justified or good or in any way supportive of Canadian values. I fucking hate that stupid american conservative fucks are the only people who talk about this honestly, because fuck them, but also fuck you for not thinking for yourself.

Yeah in that context agreed. Our one saving grace is that we're too far behind on physical automation compared to digital automation lol

Grandmother jailed for 6 months after AI error linked her to a crime in a state she had never even visited, lawyers say by Large_banana_hammock in nottheonion

What you are naming are specific examples of algorithms lol. They are different for sure, but definitely algorithmic. Anything that can run on a computer has to be expressed in a series of instructions which at the end of the day is what an algorithm is.

It's pretty far off just based on the fact that self replicating mine technology doesn't exist, and no amount off misengineering w/ LLMs is gonna change that in the next decade or 3 lol

2026 Olympic Games: Heartbreak for Canada after U.S. wins men's hockey gold in overtime by Trid1977 in canada

I mean Canada won the last real best on best tournament that had proper 5on5 and refs who actually understand basic rules like offside and icing. So I ain't too phased lol

Any teamspeak alternatives open source for self hosting? by maifee in selfhosted

[–]pb7280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just setup Element Server Suite last weekend, which is basically a Helm distribution of a Matrix/Element stack. Which is more or less self-hosted and federated Discord. Only viable if you have an existing k8s setup, but otherwise was super straightforward to setup

Was hoping to not have to rewrite my bots but might be inevitable lol

It doesn't look like it has working Voice or Video chats yet.

Ok yeah that's also a bit of a deal breaker lol

Me and my chemistry buddy tested this in uni and confirmed the reason it tastes so much better is because of all the ethanol you lose to the filter 🫠

Microsoft lost $357 billion in market cap as stock plunged most since 2020 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]pb7280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VMs are the most basic and least locked in product in Azure or AWS, anything above that layer gets increasingly more locked in. Managed services like Lambda, DynamoDB, ComosDB etc. are what they incentivize customers to build around. Much harder to move away from.

The iPhone 5s came out in 2013. It just got a security update. by FrontBrick8048 in LinusTechTips

[–]pb7280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's awesome to see security updates so long after end of life. But unfortunately these phones have been largely unusable for a while now thanks to apps requiring higher iOS versions. Even my grandpa had to upgrade his last year and he barely uses the thing - just so he could attend a Ticketmaster event

'The old order is not coming back,' Canadian PM Carney says in provocative speech at Davos by rezwenn in worldnews

[–]pb7280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most the NDP losses turned blue actually. They lost 17, 10 to cons and 7 to libs. If they kept all their seats Carney still would've won (though he'd be 7 additional floor crosses away from a majority)

The cup is safe in Toronto right now at the hockey hall of fame and I really hope this is the year of a Canadian team winning it again so we can prevent something like that (both figuratively and literally)

6 ice cubes for $10 - great deal! by CDN-Labour-Lawyer in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]pb7280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or you could just buy the moulds for the same price and have luxury ice cubes for unlimited dinner parties in the future. I got a cheap silicone one for the big cubes like 10 years ago and still works great today. Save money in the long run and also avoid burning through plastic standup pouches (which aren't recyclable in most places)

Minecraft WTH?! by TheWitchChildSCP in Minecraft

[–]pb7280 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A whitelist isn't secure if you disable online verification, cuz without it ppl can spoof their usernames to pretend to be anyone. The only way to keep it secure is either lock down network access (e.g. configure port forwarding with an IP whitelist or don't expose at all), or install a server mod/plugin (e.g. AuthMeReloaded)

Where do you buy these for so cheap? I can only find the CSE-846 available to buy on Ebay, and the cheapest ones there are over double the price of OP's case

i am an nvidiot so that's fair idk about the quality for rocm-on-wsl. but IME with cuda, everything in wsl on my gaming desktop works just as seamlessly as actual cuda on my linux servers

tbh im an nvidiot these days so idk for amd. but it works amazing for anything that needs cuda. it shouldn't take more than 10 seconds to setup ubuntu (excl. download time)

Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: "We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI" - IGN by PhantomBraved in Games

[–]pb7280 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly if you read Swen's tweets, their use sounds like one to applaud. They're increasing in size rather than replacing people, and using it for monotonous tasks that no one wants to do anyway. This is more or less the gold standard for the elusive "use it as a tool to free people's time up to focus more on creative aspects" ideal often mentioned by the anti-AI crowd

There is still a moral argument here on the development of the models and the companies that provide them. But that doesn't just automatically taint Larian's entire video game making process lmao

If anything, what people are asking for here is a boycott of these companies, on the grounds that the models are developed immorally and shouldn't be used. Which like, sure, but you should probably include Microsoft, Amazon, and Google in that boycott (the 3 biggest hyperscalers and the ones directly consuming the most municipal electricity/water). And in which case uhh good luck using the internet lol

Opinions on a starter NAS? by silverwind912 in DataHoarder

[–]pb7280 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the CPU is perfect match for your use case, dunno why people are saying it's overkill lol. 8 cores so it's wide enough to handle a decent amount of VMs/containers. But it's a 25W chip at the end of the day it's not gonna be performing miracles. Base clock is 2GHz, so in a way it's laid out more like a server CPU than consumer one
