A friend posted this meme on Facebook and my thoughts immediately went to Ocarina of Time. Was Miyamoto also a jar collector? How many jar-obcessed children did this game create?!
I figured rule of threes meant it was funnier to leave it out. 2017 would have been sad gooning to pornhub during the first trump nightmare.
Then 2027 could be sad gooning to ai hyperporn during the second trump nightmare.
Maybe I should have used 20 year jumps, but "2037, I am jerking off because there's no food, and the internet is nothing but ai porn.' didn't seem as funny a point for the "time shattering" bit.
I thought this was going to go Watchmen for a moment. Like...
It is 1997, I am a young boy, I am jerking off to a grainy porno playing over stolen cinemax.
It is 2007, i am in my dorm, i am jerking off to a forum thread full of hi-res porno.
It is 2027, i am jerking off to an ai porno stream that mutates to my desires in real time. I am about to nut so hard that it shatters my perception of time.
Like all good sci-fi, they just took what was already happening to oppressed people and made it about white/American people, while adding a little misdirection by extrapolation from existing tech research. Only took about 20 years for Foucault's boomerang to fully swing back around, and keep in mind that all the basic ideas behind LLMs had been worked out by the 80s, we just needed 40 more years of Moore's law to make computation fast enough and data sets large enough.
There are definitely games (and books and movies etc) that I didn't like at first but which grew on me by the end. I often think of this as "finding the [media's] voice." I perform public readings sometimes, so even in my private reading if I can't read a book in "the voice" it feels like the author was going for then I can't connect to it. Same in video games.
Like I recently started on RoboCop Rogue City. It's good and I'm enjoying it. But it took me a month to get past the first stage. Partly I had some crashing issues but I also just didn't get it. Its an FPS, you play RoboCop, the aiming feels off and the shooting seems clunky and wooden to me...
But, at some point it clicked and I started enjoying the game and moving through it at "normal" pace. It's almost more like a gallery shooter, like Time Crisis. Yeah its an FPS but the way enemies arrange themselves in layers in a big warehouse, popping their juicy vulnerable heads in and out of cover: its clearly drawing on that "shooting gallery" experience, and this is to play into the film's language as well.
However, there's a limit on my patience for this. Sometime i just know a game mechanic or character is going to be too annoying for me and I bail. Or if i get about 6 hours in and I'm still not getting it, not enjoying myself. That's usually when I'll give it up.
Not sure if it applies to recall votes, but my understanding was that only paying members (and people they vouch for) get a full vote, and the rest of us get rolled up into a "community temperature" kind of vote.
I suppose in theory that makes it easier for a well-funded adversary to engage a hostile take-over, but it also prevents casual trolls with no stake in the server and brigaders from voting poorly "for the lulz".
I'm not sure what democratic protections exist against a hostile major-minority take over (a 30%ish bloc who coordinate votes). Historically, it's kind of a huge issue for all organizations. I guess requiring 2/3rds or higher majority for recalls is one option, though it directly and inversely impacts the difficulty of recalling a hostile admin.
Kick ass! I liked both of them (and I've been noticing @fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com posting around, being a generally cool poster). I continue to feel extremely validated in choosing to join this instance: cool people, strong values, and wise leadership. Thanks for all y'all do!
Wildly, in C# you can do either and it has different results. I believe a bare throw doesn't append to the stack trace, it keeps the original trace intact, while throw e updates the stack trace (stored on the exception object) with the catch and rethrow.
In C#, you can only throw objects whose class derives from Exception.
This is incorrect. The C# is valid. Throw in a catch statement simply rethrows the caught exception. Source: I've been writing C# for 20 years, also the docs.
I won't act like MS absolutely didn't steal core concepts and syntax from Java, but I've always thought C# was much more thoughtfully designed. Anders Hejlsberg is a good language designer, TypeScript is also a really excellent language.
Well, I just found out that manatee mammaries are located in their armpits, so I think we're going to need to pull up the drawing board on this one. Seems like mermaids need a total do over!
I think you can tag the community like a person in a Mastodon post and it shows on the community? Like @asklemmy@lemmy.world but from Masto.
Nope! Doesn't seem to work. Could be that my mastodon instance doesn't federate to Lemmy.world though. If you search that "user" in masto you can follow them to see posts in this community, but seemingly not make them.
Words also just rotate around in popularity like any other fad. Remember synergy? Paradigm shifts? Thinking outside the box?
Academia isn't immune to memes, far from it. In the semi-contained world of higher education, trends in words and phrases are even more pronounced and likely to spread.
If this is evidence of LLM usage, it could easily be the machines reflecting back trends. These things pick up on subtle cues in your prompts to match tone with you as well so I wouldn't rule out human influence either in prompts or the RLHF process.
People say this, but I've been on Lemmy and Mastodon for about 1.5 years and Lemmy feels a lot more engaging than Masto. My posts there get one or two likes and boosts, while posts and comments here regularly get dozens if not hundreds of upvotes. I think Blue Sky is eating their lunch right now.
