Unaware of a ad system that would be AGPL compatible. If the games are worth playing then someone would probably fork it, remove the ads, and upload the clone to FDroid.

Worse still it's not even clear what is being discussed. It implied "violence" but that is a wide range from just pushing to serious shooting.

% can also be misleading when a scale is arbitrary. A temperature increase measured in Fahrenheit will be a rather different % when converted to Kelvin.

Which one is this?

I thought this commented would have gone down better. It's a banger.

In UK you can't buy high caffeine drinks unless you're over 16, so you neef ID if you don't look over 20 or such.

Headline should have been: porn sites have no spunk. Screw the government and just plug the whole country. Though we'll no longer have easy access various VPNs will still allow us to reach around the block with IP protection (just like consuming BBC service without a license).

"hallucination refers to the generation of plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or nonsensical information"

Is an output an hallucination when the training data involved in that output included factually incorrect data? Suppose my input is "is the would flat" and then an LLM, allegedly, accurately generates a flat-eather's writings saying it is.

Artificial neural networks are simple versions of the neurons arranged in a brain. It's a useful solution when you know what the output should be but you don't know what algorithm would produce it from a desired input. To claim "AI" is learning the same way as complex human brains seems a bit farfetched. If you want to say human brains are ultimately just an algorithm then fine, but look at the outputs between the two.

AI art may not look like duplication but it often looks like derived-work which could trigger copyright infringement (to my non-artist eyes). AI code on the other hand looks much closer to duplication to me and it doesn't seem right they can use other's code to produce code while ignoring the license because the algorithm had "learned like a human". Many software licenses are there to protect users, rather than monopolize, and get totally ignored for profit.

"Innovative" these days seems to means new ways to fuck-over users, rather than the past where it meant products got better and/or cheaper.

KOS is "kill on sight", a video game term.

I have hope for running games on Linux that are currently blocked by anti-cheat.. but zero hope for client-side anti-cheat to stop cheating. It's not as if Windows has stopped cheating. A win eventually becomes a loss as the cheat-makers adapt.

If you're using the minimum amount, in a transformative way that doesn't compete with the original copyrighted source, then it's still fair use even if it's commercial. (This is not saying that's what LLM are doing)

I lose interest in DF when, after some lucky military dwarfs die in glorious combat, I have to micro manage re-adding dwarfs to squads. Is there a mod to automate adding dwarfs to squads?

I'd love it if the commander/captains would have meetings to choose a new member out of some pool of dwarfs that want to join. And also kick out unhappy, trouble-makers from the military.

+Wood mug+ engraving unrelated.

 

Work are chucking out a "Cisco 887VA-M" integrated services router.

Anyone know if I can install some custom OS/firmware via the USB on the back?

I expect this is just e-waste but maybe it has some use as emergency switch :)

 

I had not heard of a weighted blanket until I saw that image and searched for what it might refer to. Are they useful for adults too? Will ask my ADHD friend if they ever had one, might make a good gift.

The image looks like it could be used as a real emoji (expressing comfort). Who made it? I would like to use the image if permission has been given (e.g. Creative Commons licence).
