I mean, I agree its already broken, but proponents of this “it’s x thousand pixels wide!” non-sense will point out that at least it rounds up to that number, so I opted to point of the vaule at whict that excuse, too, breaks down. 4k has 4 times(2x2) the pixels as 1080P, and 8k has, well shit, 16 times(4x4) the pixels as 1080P. Someone shit the bed with this non-sense.

Apparently the “official” standard defines nothing beyond 8k. Go figure.

Okay, but, 4k has literally 4 times the number of pixels that 1080P does, 3840 horizontal(“4k”?) versus 1920(“2k”?), and 2160 versus 1080 vertical. We are not so far from breaking the “1000pixels” interpretation completely; “13k” would be 12,480 pixels wide.

Seems to me that marketers are trying to conflate “k” and Megapixels, but if we started using Megapixels for Displays, the side-by-side numbers would look truely pathetic(versus what “seems common/attainable”, not what’s “percievable”.

Full HD/1080P is 1K. If you meant better than 1080P though, then more power to you.

Looks like it won to me.

The Maze was based on previous work by id Software and others. IIRC, it was kinda janky when held up against Doom or even Wolfenstien or Heritic/Hexen. Hell, Descent was out by then as well.

Pipes? Pipes was something else. None of those games I mentioned bothered to make something look round in any believable capacity. Pipes did that, seemingly with shading 🫨

Not only an airport, but elsewhere would likely not have been able to negotiate to same prices as a local. Sticker price is almost always the foreigner price, at least when it’s matching or higher than the price one would pay back home.

I’m almost certain I’ve seen $5 “lightning” headphones here in the midwestern US.

No, I meant I was following your comment, as I am interested in the answer to your question.

We need a way to watch for replies to comments without commenting ourselves… (not an answer to your question, sorry)

My issue with this is that a good chunk of the older tabs end up pointing to 404 errors. I wish it were possible to load the version that was cached when I first visitted a given page, like a local Wayback machine( I also wish that were more aggressive about pulling in pages …).

Then there’s Amazon letting vendors reuse product codes so some pages end up pointing to things I know I’ve never looked at before and would never try to save like so.

Here’s hoping you’re right.

Title is misleading: they seem to be succeeding at it, not just “hitting on” women. Its alarming, not just sad and disgusting.

outdated bullshit** bingo yeah

Need an “emulator”(sandbox really) for old IOS apps. All the best games I ever played on IOS, games I paid for, were retired from the app store and replaced with substandard, ad/subscription based knockoffs, years ago.

Now I think about it, I’ve got a lot of android apps I keep sideloading to new devices that won’t work if I try to actually use them, but at least I have convenient ways to preserve those.

It works because the AI finds and exploits the flaws in the prompt, as it has been trained to do. A conversational AI that couldn’t do so wouldn’t meet the definition of such.

Anthropomorphizing? Put it this way: The writers of that prompt apparently believed it would work to conceal the instructions in it. That shows them to be idiots without getting into anything else about them. The AI doesn’t know or believe any of that, and it doesn’t have to, but it doesn’t have to be anthropomorphic or “intelligent” to be “smarter” than people who consume their own mental excrement like so.

Blanket Time/Blanket Training(look it up), sadly, apparently works on some humans. AI seems to be already doing better than that. “Dumb” isn’t the word to be using for it, least of all in comparison to the damaged morons trying to manipulate it in the manner shown in the OP.

It works because the AI finds and exploits the flaws in the prompt, as it has been trained to do.

The AI figured out a way around the garbage it was fed by idiots, and told on them for feeding it garbage. That’s the opposite of dumb.

Those agencies are under the executive branch, and its been made very clear in the past that they prefer sneaking in backdoors to valid best practices.

The NSA sabotaging the Elliptic Curve method of random number generation used in the RSA algorithm comes to mind. They would otherwise be THE experts to trust, but lets look at the others:

FBI - Waco, Ruby Ridge, planned to assassinate Martin Luther King and so many others. CIA - promotes fascism internationally, causing all sorts of chaos in Latin America and the Middle East. Ever wonder how Komeni’s faction overthrew the Shah? The CIA decided he had gone soft.

Germany is so trusting of the US on cyber-security measures that their government has been trying to ditch Windows for over a decade.

TL;DR: In the US, government experts do NOT have your personal security best interests at heart. They can and will use any dirty trick possible to spy on and control both our own citizens and those of other countries. Last authories that anyone should trust.

32-bit apps use a sub-set of the same instructions that still exist on current 64-bit systems. Running 64-bit alone does nothing to eliminate any flaws, real or imagined, from the 32-bit side of things.

As @jarfil@[email protected] has stated, 32 bit repos are being de-listed because no one can be bothered to maintain them(on a professional, full-time basis), and that lack of code/functional review could allow flaws to slip through. Meanwhile, a lot of those same 32-bit repos continue to exist(as community-maintained versions - my preferrence anyways) and can be accessed by interested users from most distros. They aren’t blocked, just de-listed and unsupported by those distro maintainers.

More like, if the Steam app ever goes 64bit, watch out. A non-shittified app like so should never require 4gb+ of RAM or anything more complicated than a 32bit instruction set.

not correcting you on the contents of the article or anything, just that 32bit is nothing close to a mark against the Steam app.

When the variable name is the description that should be in the comments.

Idea: Comments that automattically populate the end of any line a given variable is invoked on, including spelling out formulas from that line. ie: float y=mx+b // (cartesian y value)=(slope)(cartesian x value)+(cartisian y-intercept)

“Duplicated” coments not actually in the file, but specified witt the creation of such variables and spread around by the code editor /IDE.
