In this scramble for the exits, I'd forgotten to consider that I might be someone people want to follow. Well, I could be wrong, but better to have it and not need it, cohost : cohost.org/random832 mastodon / fediverse : @random832@mastodon.social

@nefariousangler @meowkoteeq even if you're going to define whatever it was using before as "AI" it clearly wasn't a general chatbot model the way it is now

@Random832 @meowkoteeq Please tell me how you think Google Translate used to work without using AI, reply asap

gonna start blocking these otherwise nice people. i respect people who have opinions about things, who hate things. i hate seeing people openly admit they don't understand what they are hating and why. if you think English to German is okay, but English to 4chan Greentext is "bad because 'genai'", you should stop and think

@_BRCooper @simongerman600 they had to eat potatoes because the british took all the wheat

@simongerman600 Not good to have so much of the economy dependent on one single product. Talk about a potato republic.

Ireland’s population chart remains a wild one to look at. The country has still not recovered from the Great Famine (1845-52).

@_parasocial @EHamiltonEsq i thought there was a whole abundance of caution thing, isn't that why they can't have coca-cola made with corn?

@Random832 @EHamiltonEsq flour isn’t the issue with passover

Spotted in my hometown’s kosher bagel shop. This is the kosher equivalent of Whole Foods adding an allergy warning on hard-boiled eggs saying that it “contains eggs.”

@OldWorldBlues52 @CultistCorasahn @EvaLovesDesign you don't need to remove it to clean it since vacuum cleaners were invented. this is for cleaning it the old fashioned way

@CultistCorasahn @EvaLovesDesign Sure a lot of the time they’re hard to open but the alternatives are nails, staples, or glue all of which are much harder.

Things made after 1980 … wonder what changed

@ProffesserXavie @thechosenberg unclean. clean means kosher.

@thechosenberg Question: is a monkey a clean or unclean animal?

Millennials will not see heaven

@anime_ anime is yuru yuri. if you don't recognize the characters, it's because this is a flashback, the kid in this scene is one of the teachers from the show.

Do not try this at home

@radioactivered I mean the point of the warning is the fear that future humans will think the containment is protecting treasure and drill through it intentionally.

The safety of nuclear waste doesn’t depend on future humans correctly interpreting a message. It depends on engineered containment that works whether anyone is around to read a warning or not. The whole “10,000 years” narrative is exaggerated here….Yes, some nuclear waste stays radioactive for a very long time but it doesn’t stay equally dangerous that whole time. The highest risk is in the first few hundred years and after that the radioactivity drops off pretty significantly. So acting like it’s this constant extreme danger for “10,000 years” just isn’t accurate. Also, the idea that we need to somehow warn people thousands of years in the future kind of misses the point. The safety of nuclear waste isn’t based on future humans understanding a message. The whole point is that even if nobody can read a warning or even knows it’s there, it’s still physically out of reach. So this argument OP is trying to make isn’t fair, they’re assuming we’re relying on communication to keep people safe, when really the system is designed so we don’t have to. ☢️💗

@RandomSprint [this was originally a comment about some electronic part of a specific system being plugged in backwards, it's since been watered down in popular imagination to 'anything that can go wrong will', removing the human mistake factor from the equation]

@RandomSprint If it wasn't designed so the average highway worker can install it right, maybe it's not such a great invention. Edward A. Murphy's original law: If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it that way.

The world gets better from people who are passionate and exacting about their niche. Some of the niches are about preparing coffee, Excel formatting, or killing plants. Others are about saving lives.

@TheBootyMan619 @vonGravel @BatVibes @marcavis Maybe the harder thing is balancing random encounters.

@Random832 @vonGravel @BatVibes @marcavis I would love that, I think everybody thought that's what Scarlet/Violet were going to do, considering it's a "true open world game". But apparently balancing the teams of 8 trainers was too much work for the largest media franchise on the planet 🤷‍♂️

Did you know Gym Leaders are intentionally holding back against you? • In Pokémon Origins, Brock asks Red how many badges he has. When Red says “zero,” Brock picks only TWO Pokémon. • The Levels: The first Gym Leader’s Pokémon are around Lv 12-15. The eighth is only Lv 45-50. You’re telling me one of the region’s strongest trainers only has mid-40s Pokémon… when the Elite Four is sitting at Lv 60+? • Larry: In Scarlet/Violet, Larry is BOTH a Gym Leader and an Elite Four member. As a Gym Leader he uses a pathetically weak Normal-type team. At the Elite Four he switches to a high-level Flying-type team. Same man. Two completely different power levels depending on his shift for the day. The game literally shows you he’s holding back. • The Confession: In Black 2 & White 2, Cheren (the first Gym Leader) straight-up says the Gym Leader job is tough because “If I had my usual partners…” - admitting he can’t use his real competitive team against new trainers. • The System: They stand in a building waiting for kids to walk in, use mono-type teams that are easy to counter. • The Real Challenge: Notice the Champion is the only fight with a full balanced multi-type team. Everything before that was staged. Every badge you earned was handed to you. The system was designed so you’d pass. You weren’t being tested - you were being trained. Does this change how you see every Gym battle?

@RiseFallNickBck I mean, in the comics he's a badass ex-SAS agent or something, right? If he really wants someone to believe it, he should put on the suit and kick their ass.

He'll get them one day!

@TheBootyMan619 @vonGravel @BatVibes @marcavis let the speedrunners have some fun figuring out which of the 40320 possible paths is the most optimal

@TheBootyMan619 @vonGravel @BatVibes @marcavis it'd be cool if they actually implemented an open world pokemon game where you can fight the gyms in any order and their teams are different depending on which order you fought them in

@awesomekling Can their claude talk to your claude?

I don't mind if you're using AI when contributing to OSS. In fact, I prefer that you do! HOWEVER Please don't just forward messages between me and your Claude. I have my own Claude I can talk to. I don't want to talk to your Claude. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@Esh30400645 @EHamiltonEsq ok but that doesn't mean they don't also have other products that someone might more reasonably think are, but are in fact not due to being made in the same shop.

@Random832 @EHamiltonEsq Bagels (and all risen bread) are not kosher for Passover by definition

@PrinceTamayuki @ProjectLiberal @Floc_A Also they did tell their allies, Germany and Italy, that they were planning on entering the war, even if they didn't share specific operational details of the plan.

@ProjectLiberal @Floc_A That’s a really bad argument. The bombing of Pearl Harbor was retaliatory for the unprovoked oil embargo.

@jacksettleman i'd eat it, but it's weird for it to be the default

Ordered an Italian sub and figured it’d have all the goods (dressing, onions, lettuce, tomato). Came with none. Am I insane or is this insane?

@Marcela252016 it looks like there is a line across here. does it open up? maybe it is a flask or a lighter

Mi amiga encontró esto en el pantalón de su esposo que es o para que sirve?

@ArtPeasant @nd_winencheese @ClownWorld I think there was one real [staged] video like this that was copied for this. lmao how the one clip with the lights actually flashing has them flashing in unison - that's not how that works.

@nd_winencheese @ClownWorld It’s ai. Pay attention to the way the car moves & you’ll see it. It’s very well done hard to spot.

Man's decided the cops aren’t doing enough so now he's launching desserts at speeding cars 😭
