I'm building 90s themed arcade In my shed... but I still want to keep a little workshop area so I'm splitting my shed into 3 rooms including the attic/upstairs.
I've never done construction aside from small things like routing cat6 through the house, so I decided to practice virtually first - I've reconstructed my shed's frame in Blender and added all the lumber that I need to add the second floor. I've also 3d-scanned the current structure and superimposed it in blender so it was a bit easier to see if what I'm doing is sane at all.
Bonus: 3dscan video:
I have a laserdisc collection with a few CRT TVs, Pentium 3 computer with Windows 98, and PlayStation1. I'm also planning on building a few arcade cabinets with emulators.
It’s not much of a war. Beehaw is just waiting for better mod tools before refederating.
Plugged one ethernet outlet to another on accident. But they were wired to the same dumb switch. So essentially I connected two switch ports together. This took the school network down for 4 days 😂
I can’t quite find the blog post but I saw someone do a blog post using AWS' map reduce on multiple servers to process a dataset… and then they redid their pipeline using bash, awk, and maybe grep and a single 8-core machine did it 100 times or so faster.
Edit: found it https://adamdrake.com/command-line-tools-can-be-235x-faster-than-your-hadoop-cluster.html
I think past 10 years social media has been “grooming” the average internet user into becoming enraged at the slightest deviation from status quo and that’s what we’re seeing here. Rage means clicks means revenue for companies. Open internet doesn’t need revenue and doesn’t encourage rage.
Just a side note, ActivityPub protocol - the core engine that lets all of fediverse to talk to the rest of the fediverse is… 5 years old. Every feature imaginable is still to be implemented.
In this Thread: people telling you how IDEs suck then proceed telling you how to turn their terminal based text editor into an IDE
Well if only bots are talking, mods can be bots too. /r/SubredditSimulator will just take over the whole Reddit
Funny you mention the resolution because in the 90s we had 640x480 which was way smaller than what cell phones have now and we still managed to have very functional web. Yeah the fonts weren’t as pretty and pictured had jagged edges but it worked and it was great!
I’m also happy to discover social.kernel.org instance!!!
Something I feel I’m bad at is inclusive language. I want to be in the nice people group and generally when I comment something I try to help. But I was also “called in” because instead of acknowledging someone’s problem first I dived into helping… and they’ve tried virtually all of my helping attempts as well so they felt like I considered them stupid/minimize their problem. Funny enough I was in exactly the same situation before where I felt my problem was minimized, but I never put the two together.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that if I get on your nerves - just let me know. I want to be nice I just lack perspective sometimes.
Metadata and watermarking are pointless. Half of the models available now are open source and anyone with any know how can make their own tool that outputs image without said metadata. C2PA is just going to kill memes and the like. Though I bet Hollywood is going to eat this shit up. All media traceable to its origin - awesome way to catch pirates! Now imagine you created a meme and it goes viral. You don’t want to have your name associated with it unless you want multitude of different threats sent to you.
With AI it’s now easier to generate fake content and this fact is here to stay. We learned to not buy into sales of magical elixirs and magnetic pills, we’re going to have to learn to stop reacting to online content as if it’s real. I don’t think tech companies can find a tech solution to a human problem.
What was that about him doing twitter’s technology policing and leaving running the company to the new CEO?
