Are there other games or events that totally require Ticketmaster?

What are ASRock doing?

"If anyone is going to oppress our people it's us"

Linus said they were unaware Honey was being bad for users when they dropped Honey.

I'm unaware of when Honey was purposely giving users not the best coupons - did that happen back then?

LTT says to have not known users were being mistreated at the time they dropped the sponsor, and that they didn't discover it but were informed.

That doesn't include users being a victim? Honey gives users worse coupons when better ones are available, apparently that happens if companies do a deal with Honey.

The crows were shown how to get the food iir.

My understanding is LLM contain artificial neural networks. A simplification with an amount of weights similar to small animals. A simpler model aught to make investigation more clear 😅

Neural networks are "trained" by adjusting the weights on "neurons". I assume real brains are training themselves on every input while LLM is limitted to sessions with training data. Do you suspect there could be a though process when it's processing how many letters are in strawberry? What about when it's weighs are adjusted during training?

Damn. I think a few updates have happened on the App but not seen an issue yet. Guess I'll update the docker image when an app update does break it - family don't use it often and I don't want to manage their phone updating the app.

Apparently docker images must be manually updated, so currently I don't. Thanks for the info.

Does Immich auto update / breaking changes?

Sorry if my replies are annoying, I merely find this subject interesting. Feel free to ignore this.

It is not obvious to me why a being couldn't have an "understanding" without a "thought". I do not believe it's possible to verify if a creature has a subjective experience but an "understanding" of the environment could be attributed to how a being performs in an environment (a crow gets foods that was just out of reach inside a tube of water by adding rocks to raise the water level). I have some experience on game-dev programming and limited understanding on consciousness as a personal interest, if that's helpful.

I think we may disagree on term definitions.

I perceive "active thought" when trying to decipher parts of a sentence I do not already have an understanding of. If I already understand a part then no active thought is perceived by me - like driving a car when nothing eventful is happening. [Note: I don't believe I have 100% accurate perception of my own subjective experience. Trying to focus on subjective experience at all instead of constantly being "lost in thought" is very short lived]

Try to read this next part without understanding it. If you know English you will find it impossible to NOT find meaning in these letters displayed in a row. That's more like a subconscious processing. If you're learning to read English then there's likely an active "thought" appearing in your experience. See a difference?

If I hacked a server to get content then I would be circumventing payment at it shouldn't be up to me how it responds to requests, I don't own it. Google trying to enforce playing adverts via software running on my property is an unjust overreach. The user choosing what displays on their own monitor is not "circumvention", it's claiming ownership over your computing. Google could choose to verify on their servers if I've paid (in normal currency) but instead their servers act like adverts are an optional donation.

I trust Linus is being sincere when he says "it's not a judgement" but blocking ads is being compared to a criminal doing copyright infringement (illegal). The word used is one originally meaning for a person murdering others on boats (immoral), and it's used because it's pejorative. It's unavoidably judgemental.

They are similar only if you presume there is an agreement of content in exchange for revenue from adverts. If you view the internet as a place for open collaboration, or oppose (internet) advertisement, then you wouldn't presume that agreement and it looks very different.

Sometimes people exaggerate and if you point out what they said is inaccurate then they get mad you're not addressing their main point.

Deleted my ebay account but very rarely will buy on the site. I've yet to find a UK alternative.

When I had static on headphones on Mint (20, maybe 21) then killing PulseAudio would prevent it happening again for a variable amount of time (minutes or weeks). I hope someone suggests something better but that might be worth trying that next time it happens: pulseaudio -k. [edit: tried that just now and had to re-select my headphones as an output device]

I've not had to do that for a long time and I don't know what has changed (fairly sure it had stopped happening before I got new headphones). PluseAudio isn't even installed on my Mint MSI B450 machine, I assume it didn't install during boot. I guess my static issues are are hardware related: something causing inference.
