  • "recognize a face"

    Who's? Can the human brain just know what someone looks like without prior experience?

    Your ability to do anything is based on decades of "data sets" that you're being constantly fed, it's no different than an AI they just get it all at once and we have to learn by individual experience.

  • As someone that works in IT and has seen the actual real world merit of LLMs, you guys clearly don't work in a white collar field or you'd realize that you sound like someone in the 90's claiming the internet is a fad.

    Microsoft continues to integrate it, and on prem data and cloud engineers are hooking it up to company resources for everything from helping with data creep to handling low level repetitive tasks.

    In the next ten years all bottom level data entry will be performed entirely by on premise AI models and the position of secretary will be a thing of the past, it's not a gimmick like NFTs or crypto, it's an actual tool that we are finding more uses for everyday.

  • Thanks but I'm a network engineer, I'm just saying your argument is pointless, the majority of devs support a certain language. How they or you feel about it doesn't matter one bit.

  • Funny, I still have yet to see ads or performance changes and I've been using Vivaldi with no ad blocker but the built in one.

    Guess that answers whether it has a better ad blocker than Brave.

  • I didn't say group 2 did it accidentally, I said they pretend that the specific skillset required to install Arch via terminal somehow means they're certified professional IT.

    All you know is how to use a CLI specifically with Linux syntax, that's a good start but it's somewhat like pretending you're a mechanic because you know how to change a tire.

  • Alright so clearly you're going to just "no true scotsman" any and all examples that I could give, how about you show me the unrestricted left wing utopia that exists somewhere in the world? Or has no one ever attempted "true left wing" policies as you dictate them to be?

  • Nothing about human rights is extreme in any capacity, and not even remotely what im talking about.

  • The issue is if you tune them out what's left? It's most of the content here.

    Hell just the other day there was a "what new tech thing have you done this year?" And 95% of the responses were just some variation of "Installed Mint/PopOS!/Endeavour and started using Firefox."

    Like it's great that you're making the transition, but I was hoping to hear what new self hosting service people got working on their home server, some new residential network installs for security platforms, etc.

    Not just "I changed browsers."

  • Look at the community you're in.

  • Would they? Arch users strike me as coming in two flavors.

    1. Competent users who have a significant amount of IT knowledge, that happen to enjoy an incredibly lightweight Linux distro which is fully configurable. This group is akin to a racecar driver with a project car in their garage.
    2. Random people who lack basic knowledge but drink whatever Kool aid they're given, and just happened to fall into a FOSS community where that Kool aid was Linux. They install Arch because someone said it's the best, and their ability to do so gives them an air of superiority and the belief that they're competent like group 1. This group is more like a teenager with a KIA, who believes their glued-on hood scoop gives them more horsepower.

    Due to social media the second group far outpaces the first. So I'd wager most of them don't even know what the acronym ESD stands for, let alone how grounding works in basic electrical theory.

  • Fascism is also the natural result of unchecked progressivism. Since what you mean by "fascist" is just "Authoritarian."

    Clearly, as we've seen globally and historically, Authoritarianism is the rule rather than the exception whenever extreme right and left wing politics go unchecked. Internally, the left wing Soviets appeared pretty much identical to the right wing Nazis in function, since their attempt at implementing communism was just a state/party run economy.

    I'm so sick of this revisionist history "if we just keep going left nothing "fascist"/Authoritarian can ever happen" bullshit.

  • At the end of the day people love being in the "in" group that knows everyone else is blinded by falsehoods and they're above it all and "in the know." Religion has been that for a lot of people in the past as well as in current times, pretty much every high control group is developed due to this mentality as well.

  • Interesting, considering observations with a telescope and the development of calculus is what allowed us to understand that the solar system works out like it does via physics and the mathematics that it's based on.

  • True confidence is the assurance that who you are is good enough, not that you're perfect and need no improvement, but that if you're doing your best to respect other people that you deserve the same.

    If your "confidence" changes based on how others treat you, then it's not truly self-esteem but rather pride and ego.

  • Seems like you're looking at these people as a monolith. Most of us treat the gym like a horticulturist treats their garden, it's therapeutic while also being beneficial. Sure there's the guys that follow all of the social media "gurus" but you can usually tell who they are by their gear and what they spend most of their time talking about.

    9/10 times the guys with the most experience and general level of fitness are the ones that just wear old cut offs and go home to go drink a protein shake. The ones railing pre workout and listening to Andrew Tate aren't there for the right reasons so they generally never get anywhere with it.

  • Aw he dead.
