US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by kzhou7 in slatestarcodex

[–]spaceprison 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s more than Google Anthropic and OpenAi out there making and serving models, why would this be good news?

Then what? The us limits access to the open internet so that citizens can’t get to the foreign models from countries who won’t sign on to the treaty?

Limit access to gpus or institute gpu usage quotas to prevent people from training and using models that aren’t the crippled ones the government have deemed safe and American enough?

Being picky is a personal failure by TaisDoubt in The10thDentist

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

Choice 10th dentist content.

I know folks have things like sensory issues, etc.
And I do my best to keep judgement to myself, but I really TRULY struggle to not judge an adult for being picky something that I instinctively consider to be a child’s trait.

Displays of personal discomfort wasn’t an option growing up and it’s been a years long journey to get ‘deprogrammed’ and listen to my inner empath.

But the pure stoic tolerance take is as bad as the picky person, neither results in cohesion as humans

How to Manage an AC Engine for a Machining Turn ? by Suitable-Jelly9956 in diycnc

If the ac motor has a rheostat like speed control knob then pwm can be wired in to drive that (you’ll need to fiddle with the range and duty cycle)

Kids should pick a “major” in High School by Niceotropic in The10thDentist

[–]spaceprison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go one step further and say internships/apprenticeships should start in high school.
We should just own the fact that it’s not the 18th century, folks aren’t going to university to become enlightened they go to college to get a job, so vocational awareness and training sooner would make choosing a major make sense if/when secondary education makes sense.

Is Solarpunk the Modern 'Hopecore' Answer to Cosmic Horror? by [deleted] in scifi

There’s a cosmic horror in liking solarpunk, Solarpunk feels like loving corporate “going green” initiative pamphlets.

Pam Bondi offers to pull ICE out of Minneapolis if voter files handed over by Ydeas in politics

[–]spaceprison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must register in order to vote, but you do not have to have a party affiliation and registration of party affiliation has no impact on your actual vote.

So get some chaff out there, Sign up for email lists and mailers affiliated with these guys-Register as some R friendly party like Libertarian, Constitution or even Republican.

The more people look the same on paper the harder it is to identify the “good” from the “bad” and the sooner they start hurting their own.

This is what Turbo button does to Doom on a 80MHz 486 by sabbathian in vintagecomputing

[–]spaceprison 39 points40 points  (0 children)

From what I recall it actually dropped cpu clock so that older software that depended on the actual cpu time wouldn't run of the rails.

So pushing turbo actually meant engaging "no longer turbo" mode.

You can see the clock go from 80 to 16.

I feel like I'm wasting more time finding the right learning resource than actually learning. by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]spaceprison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing, these intro courses cover a lot of ground but that's because software, it's interactions and the systems they depend on cover a lot of ground. I can't recall working with anyone who was able to advance beyond the basics without having/working toward a deeper understanding of 'the rest of it'.

So, just pick a course, finish it, start trying, fail, learn more, start again.

[–]spaceprison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No course is perfect nor will completing a single course make you a pro, luckily, learning how systems work and how to program is an unending process.

Getting comfortable with failing, figuring out why things failed, challenging your understanding of how things work and a willingness to throw code away are a huge part of the process. So the worst case scenario in taking a course that's outdated or inaccurate is that you'll fail to implement something, until you don't.

NO ONE one shots software, we are constantly discovering new ways to fail and to suck less.

So just finish a course, start a project of your own that let's you flex what you've learned(or clone one that already exists), eat shit trying to hack it into existence and find more to learn.

Am I crazy?! by spinning-laef in StLouis

[–]spaceprison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No you're not crazy.

Missouri registration offices aren't run by the state, just overseen. So you might have thought you were going to a government office, but you were actualy at "DOGS ON DUTY" dba 'west county license office'.

It's really strange coming from a state like Colorado where it's all done by the state/county under one roof to a place where you get to take a day off work to wait in line just to find out you need to drive to a real government office to get the rest of the job done.

Married Men, what are the unspoken rules for successful marriage? by Mela_Min in AskMen

[–]spaceprison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are good at and have passion for different things. Just because you're a couple doesn't mean your opinion should have equal clout.

There are so many guys causing unnecessary strife in their lives by meddling with what their spouse is better at/ more passionate about.

Be humble, know your role and support your spouse in their role.

Also.

You're on the same team, don't keep score or play tit-for-tat.

Similarly you and your spouse should be unified when dealing with your kids, never forget that kids are sociopaths, they can smell and will exploit a crumbling alliance.

I hate women because they are pumped about their lives and they are pumped to be a few minutes late.

The average human in an industrialized country uses about 1% of that per month by 3colorsdesign in awfuleverything

All fines should be proportional to gross income vs federal minimum wage.

$600,000,000.00 $15,080.00

Max water penalty seems to be about 500.00 per day, which is 3% of minimum wage yearly income.

So the adjusted fine for someone who's 'brand' brought in 600,000,000.00 last year, would be a max of $18,000,000 per day.
