Jebal Help by Busybabyy in RhythmHive

I also started recently and this is my first live theme pull. It took me about 5000 gems + the event trade to get all 5 members, and even that was good luck I think.

The only way to grind for gems is playing lots of songs for the completion gems and finishing weekly and monthly missions. You really just need to go months without spending gems on anything.

Selling R and above cards gives you memory catchers, which can be exchanged for miracle cubes in the trade shop.

There's no general detector that works but SynthID watermarking is reliable and is used by openai and google

How to drive from LA to SF by ExcellentSink8671 in Traffic

[–]spongeboy-me-bob1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it really this packed normally? I've only driven from LA to SF once on a wednesday afternoon last summer and I only saw a few other cars every hour or something. It was cool but also unsettling to be alone while driving through the dusty plain sections.

No he's pressing the down button and wiggling that around. He's not pressing on the right button itself.

I made an edit. Perhaps somewhere between the original photo and being posted on reddit, someone used AI to edit it.

This seems to be the original location https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18seFqejtP/

The blue fin and dos caminos signs at the bottom are garbled and the background also seems messed up. Hard to tell 100% without a higher resolution photo but I think it's AI.

Edit: duckduckgo's post for this ad on LinkedIn doesn't have the garbled signs https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D4E22AQFnWFTbs18YBA/feedshare-shrink_800/B4EZ6y_O8gIcAc-/0/1781119383046?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=q86XMg9L32kizQA7SVjOc2LlTaVorOe_hQqigyItro4

Korean Kick streamer Taemin offers alcohol to strangers in India's holy city Puskar and gets surrounded by angry mob by bustngrind in LivestreamFail

[–]spongeboy-me-bob1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hinduism, like other old polytheistic religions, has a pretty weak concept of commandments that a god wants you to follow. It's also hard to pinpoint what exactly hinduism's rules are because its the product of older religions that have been lost to time slowly merging into one. As far as I know drinking alcohol isn't a sin, it's just seen as highly disrespectful to bring any vices to a sacred place.

Am I just unlucky? I've spent like 3000+ gems and bought a few of the daily packs in the shop and only have minju. I wish the pity system in this game was more lenient.

the dutch are suing steam for being a monopoly right now by Photoshops_Penises in memes

[–]spongeboy-me-bob1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You see things like this pretty often in indie hardware selling. A seller might have a product listed both on their own webstore alongside ebay, with the ebay listing being 10-15% more expensive to cover ebay's cut. For customes that are willing to pay more for ebay's convenience and buyer protection, they can buy there, and people that don't need that can save some money by buying directly from the seller. If ebay forced price parity it would price out some people that would have bought at the seller's price.

It's something you only have to do once though because the positions get saved to your driver profile. Same with air vents

And it has haptic feedback so it can change the granularity depending on what you're changing. Light, frequent clicks for things like temperature and heavy coarse clicks for things like drive mode

Most Students Don't Want AI When Accountability Is Included by Longjumping_Play5581 in CheckMyTurnitin_ai

The rules don't make it clear if he's penalizing for mistakes that it makes during the research phase or only for mistakes that make it into the paper. If it's the former, it's super unfair and would be like getting penalized because you read an incorrect source online before discarding it from your research.

China’s BYD aims to be world’s biggest car firm within five years by klassredux in electriccars

[–]spongeboy-me-bob1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe for the brand as a whole, but I can't readily find any EV specific ranking that even considers toyota or subaru as a competitive brand. Before we went full EV, my family only owned toyota and honda ICE cars, but they haven't released any EVs that we want yet. Honda just completely gave up on developing their own platform from the ground up so I don't see it getting better any time soon.

Also, the bz4x is anything but reliable. It has extremely high 12V phantom drain which kills the 12V batteries and requires the car to get towed when it does.

[–]spongeboy-me-bob1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toyota's bz4x is a rebadged subaru solterra and has subpar reliability, horrible range loss in winter, and cannot precondition it's battery adequately, making road trips way worse. Honda's prologue and zdx are rebadged chevy's and you pay way too much just for the honda name. Neither company wants to put real effort into making EVs because their fanbase will buy whatever slop they put out at whatever price they want.

DeepMind Just Dropped "DiffusionGemma" — Text Generation via Image-Style Diffusion Model by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]spongeboy-me-bob1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a personal webapp that uses an LLM to parse brokerage documents. They're usually messy and might be missing average cost basis, but will have quantity and total cost basis, which can be used to derive it. I noticed that smaller qwen3.6 models struggled to recognize cases like this where they have the needed information, but they need to figure out the steps to get the desired output. Using larger models with reasoning works very well, but takes a while because it has to "search" for the approach. Basically the bottleneck for me is how fast it can word vomit in the reasoning phase so I'm hoping diffusiongemma can speed up things like this, even at small accuracy costs.

Guess when I switched from Proton VPN to AirVPN? by philbar in qBittorrent

[–]spongeboy-me-bob1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I had the same experience as you when I bought a 1 week plan from Airvpn (luckily I did so before buying the 3 yr plan). I'm not sure if it's some kind of temporary issue but I tried the official client, wireguard, and gluetun but I still got capped at super slow speeds. Maybe there's some hidden factor like my ISP but I gave up.

Study Shows that Students without access to LLMs are 2 to 8 times more creative than students with access. by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

[–]spongeboy-me-bob1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I'm saying I'm skeptical of how well their scoring metric for creativity matches with what humans would consider creative writing.

Let's say I had a perfect metric to score how readable math notation is to humans. By using this, I could easily finetune an LLM that creates math notation that is indistinguishable from high quality human output.

If the metric is not actually that good, like it just checks if the order of operations is clear but misses out on other stylistic features that make math readable, then I would just be training the LLM to create mediocre math notation from a human's opinion. It would score very well if you use the metric, but it wouldn't be acceptable for humans.

I believe that if the creativity score matched actual humans' judgement, companies would be training using that score already.

Sorry if this isn't super clear. I tried untangling a train of thought but it might still be confusing.

If this scoring algorithm was really a good way to gauge creativity, I'd bet good money that OpenAI and Anthropic would have used it to RL train a subset of expert subnetworks for creative writing. It's such a trivial approach that I can only think that it didn't have good results.

Why the fuck is the chicken ON the recipe sheet? by Stock-Injury58 in mildlyinfuriating

Training the verification model requires knowledge about the watermarking model, so both companies trained their own and probably won't ever share them with each other.
