  • Well, in the first bit of the Hitchhiker's guide, there's:

    “You’d better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It’s unpleasantly like being drunk.”

    “What’s so unpleasant about being drunk?”

    “You ask a glass of water.”

    Which does fit, even if it's not necessarily a "well-known phrase"

  • They can, but it's not trivial. The challenge uses a bunch of modern browser features that these scrapers don't use, regarding metadata and compression and a few other things. Things that are annoying to implement and not worth the effort. Check the recent discussion on lobste.rs if you're interested in the exact details.

  • Personally? Vibes. Specifically, it feels very... uniform. Like, a human artist good enough to draw like that would be better at composition, I think?

    More practically, even the newer ones struggle with specific shapes; look at the arch, no human would draw that weird hybrid of an arch and a... semi-donut?

    Older models struggle with lining stuff up and keeping things straight over long distances. The latest ones struggle with constant curvatures.

  • It's (genuinely) interesting that big-time AI enthusiasts always assume that if you dislike AI, it's because you don't know how to use it (and not because they have different priorities or have conceptual issues with it or such). It was the same thing with crypto and NFTs.

    I know a good amount of very skilled developers who tried AI several times in different contexts, and always found the tradeoffs much too bad to be worth it (in terms of accuracy, precision, cost, speed, whatever), and yet they still get "oh you just haven't tried my favorite AI tool".

  • Fair enough! The disadvantage is that, as opposed to Dropbox and similar, I have go into a file at the root of the synced folder, rather than keeping that config near to where itcs relevant.

    Thanks for the names!

  • I tried with both, but I didn't figure out how if such an option exists. I did manage to do the opposite (keeping files uploaded but not having them locally), both with and without VFS (with VFS it's in a context menu in nautilus, without it's in the desktop app).

  • it does! I use it to sync my music, but I feel like it's not the right tool for the job here.

    I don't want to "have the folders connected", I want to have the ability to sync files easily, while excluding specific folders and files.

    File sync without wasting bandwidth

  • On the second point... I remember when moss had to make one, because of exactly that issue.

    He should have told you that, it really isn't a new thing. It's also not an Ada thing, it's not her fault and it's really not unreasonable to expect mods to... actually be able to read all reports.

  • I'd be willing to do some "grunt mod work" for 196. Actual decision-making and community-building would probably take too much time for me to be reliable on it, but just dealing with reports I could do.

  • It's bad. The original question is being used as a... standard conversation piece, here (though I've never heard that one IRL, I'm not surprised). Like "How are you", "good, how about you", "good" (which is in reality pretty much just a greeting), the person in the meme is saying "i'm sorry, I don't have an excuse for my behavior" ("sorry I'm crazy").

    The expected response is reassurance on the second part ("no you're not" to "I'm crazy"), but the received response is reassurance on the first ("it's okay" to "sorry"). This implies that the other person does believe the first person is crazy, but the first person didn't actually 100% mean the "I'm crazy" bit, so it's an accidental insult that the first person can't actually contest in any way and it hurts more because the other person must believe that for real. Therefore, unpleasant, but keeping it in. Hence the face.

    Hope that made some sense!

    Server box just died, recommendations for a new one?

    Selfhosted @lemmy.world

    is it better to use subdomains or paths?
