A country beeing able to produce its own food is a good thing even if said food is not viable on a global market because of cheaper imports. What happens if there is a shipping crisis like with a pandemic? Does everybody just starve because no food is brought in from other countries? Subsidies can be very useful, but just subsidizing corn and soy for export is not one of these cases.

So much long pig walking around.

I also noticed how every post just has 5-10 random down votes. Like perfectly fine post in the correct community, not controversial, no rules broken, -10 down votes.

Especially if there exist loads of versions of the joke that were made pre-AI. Who hasn’t seen the gandalf with an AK-47 meme that was made 20 years ago?

Technically not a lie but still far from the truth. But it is still true that anyone using 7zip to extract archives downloaded from the internet should update.

Every game with a billion Dollar budget like battlefield will have a turd like EA attached.

If you want to be morally superior and boycott them you will have to make some drawbacks in production quality. No game by an Indie or AA studio can be “almost exactly like battlefield”.

And all websites use wake-on-lan over the internet so the first person every day just starts the server and the last one turns off the lights!

My 10yo gaming PC is probably “faster” to boot because it is set up to auto logon without password promt so it boots straight to desktop without any interruptions while my Linux laptop has pre-boot-authentication and then normal login. But between these two password promts is basically no time at all

“Nö” is a very childish “nope” in German (maybe even also in Swedish I don’t know) so a Nö-bel Prize would be very fiting

In the olden days, before electricity, I used to …

Are you like 200 years old?

If you run it like that every day you will always be one day behind in packages. Not realy that big of a problem (unless on an internet facing server)

(I’m just being silly, I recognize that an old package list would probably cause issues with installing or upgrading packages.)

No problems anywhere you can always install older versions from a repo.

Upgrade -> update two days ago and then again today will leave me with exactly the same packages as it would if I ran it correctly the first time and then not at all today. Just the state of two days ago.

No it will update and once that is done it will shut down. But the update includes a restart so it will restart and then require you to type your password so it can finish the update, after which it will shut down.

I use apt in scripts and docker files. I don’t even know what apt-get is supposed to do better there?

They don’t fit the YouTube algorithm now though

Skibidi toilet begs to differ

I agree but disagree. Just go to any genre that isn’t Pop/Country/K-Pop and look at the largest bands there.

Many people that never listen to metal have heard of parkway drive, rammstein, disturbed, Lorna shore, bring me the horizon, etc.

Last year gojira played during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. How is that not “not-main-mainstream”.

relatively unknown

Relatively to your friend circle they were unknown.

some of it’s just an echo chamber bouncing off each other, circlejerking their way into thinking all women …

And reasonable people make maybe 1-2 posts/memes about their normal relationship while incels will make hundreds. So it looks like the extreme position is way more common than it is. If your personality is centered around wanting a tradwive woman who bows down to you you will be much more vocal about it.

To OP: you are fine, most (younger than 50, and many older as well) people think like you. Its just that right wing propaganda is effective and gaining popularity.

That’s how landlords work.

Take loan, buy houses, house has to pay back loan via rent, rent is paid for by renter.

Landlord gets house for free, everything paid by renter.

Anyone with a stake in the development of AI is lying to you about how good models are and how soon they will be able to do X.

They have to be lying because the truth is that LLMs are terrible. They can’t reason at all. When they perform well on benchmarks its because every benchmark contains questions that are in the LLMs training data. If you burn trillions of dollars and have nothing to show, you lie so people keep giving you money.

However, the extent of this progress is frequently exaggerated based on appeals to rapid increases in performance on various benchmarks. I have argued that these benchmarks are of limited value for measuring LLM progress because of problems of models being over-fit to the benchmarks, lack real-world relevance of test items, and inadequate validation for whether the benchmarks predict general cognitive performance. Conversely, evidence from adversarial tasks and interpretability research indicates that LLMs consistently fail to learn the underlying structure of the tasks they are trained on, instead relying on complex statistical associations and heuristics which enable good performance on test benchmarks but generalise poorly to many real-world tasks.
