So, yeah. What's a good Linux distro for stable diffusion and programming?

IvanOverdrive ,

Not a whole lot.

IvanOverdrive ,

Use your words. Tell her you don't want to and why.

IvanOverdrive ,

And my guess would be a fraction of those warned would phone the scammers back to find another way to pay them. Some folks can't bear to know they've been tricked.

IvanOverdrive ,

This just confirms the worst case scenario for me. This might be posturing, but it's far more likely ByteDance can't reveal how much command the CCP has over the data.

IvanOverdrive ,

I guess this has something to do with Minecraft.

Fun fact: Orson Well's last role was Omicron, the planet sized transformer in Transformers the Movie. Since he was a method actor, he ate so many peeps he became the size of a planet.

IvanOverdrive ,

You're right. Guess I've got Covid on the brain.

IvanOverdrive ,

It's an unpaired word. The same reason why we never describe someone as "hinged".

Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed (mastodon.social)

For anyone wondering if Threads and Facebook at large will be a fine neighbor in the space and compatible with other apps/services in the fediverse: they’re already automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed https://mastodon.social/@dansup/112126250737482807

lemm.ee is already defederated. Didn't even have to do anything. I think I chose the right instance.

Edit: defederated not federated

REPORTER: Where does your data come from?

CTO: Bitch, are you trying to get me sued?

IvanOverdrive ,

Number go up mean safe go down.

It does amazingly well with schemas:

When the dead rabbit was seen by the dog, it hopped. What does "it" refer to: the rabbit or the dog?

In the sentence "When the dead rabbit was seen by the dog, it hopped," the pronoun "it" refers to the dog, not the rabbit.

This is because the rabbit is described as "dead," meaning it cannot hop or move. The verb "hopped" implies movement, which can only logically apply to the living subject in the sentence, which is the dog.

So the intended meaning is that when the dog saw the dead rabbit, the dog itself hopped, likely in surprise or reaction to seeing the dead animal.

When the iceberg was struck by the ship, it sunk. What does "it" refer to: the iceberg or the ship?

In the sentence "When the iceberg was struck by the ship, it sunk," the pronoun "it" refers to the ship, not the iceberg.

The reason is that icebergs, being large masses of ice floating in water, do not actually "sink" when struck. They are already floating and may crack or break apart when struck, but the word "sunk" implies something going down below the water's surface.

Ships, on the other hand, are vessels designed to float on water. If a ship strikes an iceberg with enough force, it can cause damage that leads to the ship taking on water and eventually sinking below the surface.

So in this context, with the verb "sunk" being used, it is more logical that "it" is referring to the ship sinking after striking the iceberg, rather than describing what happened to the stationary iceberg itself.

I found that it helps if you ask chatGPT 4 to act as a Vulcan from Star Trek, it does better with logic puzzles. But it doesn't work with 3.5.

William Gibson wrote Neuromancer, and it had an incredible cultural impact. But everything else he wrote hasn't come close. I've read the Bigend trilogy. Can't really remember anything that happened in those books.

On the other hand, Cory Doctorow is the writer I wish I was. He does high tech thrillers the way they're supposed to be. Attack Surface is excellent, a master class in a flawed but sympathetic main character. Just read Red Team Blues. Doctorow reveals how interesting forensic accounting really is.

IvanOverdrive ,

Do yourself a favor and read Walkaway. My favorite book. The structure is a bit of a departure from Doctorow's other books. More like Kim Stanley Robinson in that there is a group of characters but the real main character is the birth of a post scarcity society.

IvanOverdrive ,

Do you have a link or something? I'd like to check it out.

IvanOverdrive ,

I use Netlify to host my frontend projects and portfolio. Does anyone have a way to prevent something like this?

IvanOverdrive ,

Ah... guillotines!? Did I miss something?

IvanOverdrive ,

Wednesday? This pic is as old as the intertubes

This bloody well sucks ass. As a foreigner in Japan, Amazon is pretty much the only retailer that has a user friendly English website. But if the workers gotta strike, I ain't gonna give Amazon money.

He's a lawless, fascist murderer. (slrpnk.net)

after St. Louis police unions instructed officers to publicly display The Punisher's insignia (the mark of a lawless, fascist murderer) the comic book community was quick to point out the stupidity, and the frankly horrifying message sent by supposed peace officers endorsing a maniac. So it's a good thing The Punisher personally...

IvanOverdrive ,

I think in this case "fascist" means "anything I don't like." You know, like "socialism".
