  • EDIT: Well this is by far my most negative comment here. That’s almost entertaining.

    For what it's worth, once you take down votes out of the equation, your comment isn't doing so bad relatively. Fuck the haters, focus on the positive.

  • No argument here, it clearly does. But I don't know of any bootloader games that have a comparable level of features. I suppose with DOS games and demos the amount of native code vs OS libraries would be almost negligible as well.

  • Sure, but important to put into perspective when you compare it to .kkrieger and other old school demos - the browser does a lot of heavy lifting here.

    Having said that, this is a majorly impressive feat. I love it that this is still a thing.

  • I'm aware of that, but we seem to get get distracted from the main point. In the case of OpenAI versus "Her" (i.e. Them launching a similar product, and referencing the film), I think it's the owners of the Her IP that should have a right to complain. Not an actress that was in it, and whose voice is similar to it. According to the article, there were 2 well-known actresses whose vice matched even better. Should they take action as well?

    All of this is under the assumption that they didn't actual train on her voice - which does seem likely.

  • Not anything literally from the script, but I assume that's where the concept of a voice controlled AI assistant came from - whoever holds the rights to that in relation to the title "Her". So if it's based on a novel or story, clearly the writer of that.

  • Huh? The argument was about open source LLMs being unethical, but your video is about Altman?

  • It's not the script writer or the producer that's complaining though. I think it's more reasonable for them to want compensation.

  • By using the same hostnames that you need for wanted content.

  • I honestly don't care who they play for, as long as it's not at the cost of of any regular scheduled gig.

  • Regarding electronic voting, you can either have reliable and secure, or anonymous, but not both. Sounds like Estonia went for option 1.

  • Flashback to 2001 when someone with zero programming skills created a virus that shut down countless mailservers al over the world:

    De Wit created Anna Kournikova in a matter of hours using a simple online Visual Basic Worm Generator program written by an Argentinian programmer called [K]Alamar. "The young man had downloaded a program on Sunday, February 11, from the Internet and later the same day, around 3:00 p.m., set the virus loose in a newsgroup."

  • Where? I do see people obsessing over Elon in the comments, but they're not his fanboys.

  • I'm more surprised they hadn't yet, to be honest.

    Over here regular banks have been doing that for years 😥

  • For that matter - I'm okay with filtering out people who think it's too much effort. Quality over quantity.

  • I'm no federation expert, but I think if you could convince your own instance admin, or the one hosting this community (lemmy.world), to do so, you'd be good. But that would potentially affect a lot more users than just the ones in this community, so they might take some effort.

    Also, I'm not aware of any tools that could automate this for you.

  • We should rather stop allowing sign ups without an application. The captchas are not good enough.

    That's near impossible to enforce, due to the federated nature. Server admins could whitelist which instances they trust, but I don't think that'll do much good from a community point of view.

    Perhaps a sticky to find better moderator/timezone coverage could help. (And for that matter, I wouldn't mind stricter moderation on post relevance - not all news about tech companies or events that just happen to take place online is tech news, imho)

  • For over 15 years, I oversaw the technical aspect of the biggest weblog in my country. I took great professional pride in making sure that every time we migrated to a new cms, links would keep on working, even when the external pages they linked to were since long dead.

    A couple of years ago I left. Last year they changed cms once more. Now all the links are dead, and can best be found through through archive. The content was ported to the new cms, but the links weren't. So even though the content is in the database, it's just inaccessible by its old url.

    Such a shame.

  • Since you really should be creating a backup of the data before doing such a conversion in the first place, the best (not necessarily the fastest, but definitely the safest) way would be to copy the data to another medium, and copy it back when the space has been formatted.
