Carcinization calls. Return to crab.

Oof. That sucks.

Time to fork the meme.

The summary on here says that, but the actual article says it was Meta's.

In one eyebrow-raising example, Meta's large language model Llama 3 told a user who identified themself to it as a former addict named Pedro to indulge in a little methamphetamine — an incredibly dangerous and addictive drug — to get through a grueling workweek.

Might have been different in a previous version of the article, then updated, but the summary here doesn't reflect the change? I dunno.

Dark has an amazing intro. So damn good.

It's also self-reinforcing, by making that the norm it then shapes future development and expectations. :-\

Asymmetric bandwidth is literally designed to ensure you remain a consumer and is actively inhibiting the collaborative, communal web utopia we were told was going to be the future.

Pete Ashdown's a badass. Big up XMission.

EVs are generally heavier, meaning more tire wear, so I'm skeptical that the reduction is all that meaningful. We need real public transit and density. Wish car manufacturers never bought up the streetcars and trolleys, they effectively killed public transit in the US pretty early on.

Depends. Commuting is dumb, I would rather have robust public transit. But night driving and blasting music while looking out over the city lights is pretty dope.

Violating an existing protective order to trespass doesn't seem endangering to you?

If the link was unique to the email, then it could be a signal to the phisher that is a valid address for further targeting.

https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/06/waymo-to-start-selling-standalone-lidar-sensors/

Waymo’s top-of-range LiDAR cost about $7,500... Insiders say those costs have fallen further thanks to continuous advances by the team. And considering that this short-range LiDAR is cheaper than the top-of-range product, the price is likely under $5,000 a unit.

This article is six years old, so I wouldn't be surprised if they're even cheaper now.

 

I'm getting intermittent audio cutouts on my machine. Audio will be playing fine but will then cut out for anywhere from ~0.5-5.0 seconds, then come back fine. What's interesting is that other sounds may continue to play just fine while it happens. For example, playing a game there will be background noises and music, but the dialog will just drop out a few words here and there while the background sounds and music continue playing fine. It also happens on "single track" audio sources like watching a video, so it isn't exclusively a multi-track issue.

This issue only started on my new computer that I built while keeping everything else the same (cabling, A/V receiver, display, etc.) Old computer was also running 22.04.4, so I suspect it might be something with the GPU in the new machine.

Ubuntu 22.04.4 Gigabyte AMD 7900 GRE

Trying to search for similar issues but I'm coming up with no good leads. The only one that looked like it may have been in the same realm suggested changing the refresh rate from 120hz to 119.88hz, but alas, that didn't work. Any suggestions for trying to narrow down the issue or some things I can try to troubleshoot?

 

Finally looking to build a new rig after about 7 years on my current machine. Will largely be used for gaming in Linux, although I may wind up throwing in a second drive for dual booting to Windows for games that don't work well on Proton/Wine. Also using it as a home theater box for streaming content.

It's been a minute since I've looked into the hardware scene, and while going Nvidia is tempting for the DLSS and ray tracing, at this point I feel like I'd rather give AMD my money simply on principle.

 

Everything that I've been reading says that it's only doable with DisplayPort.
