  • Seems dangerous, it's a breach of the ToS I assume so they're opening up to possible liability if Reddit got pissy. I'm actually surprised this kind of research gets IRB and other approval given you're violating ToS unless given a variance from it (I used to conduct research on social networks and had to get preapproved accounts for the purpose, and the data I was given was carefully limited.)

  • Yep I've played with virtual monitors in VR space and I don't even like watching movies on them, the loss in resolution and the way the dynamic aspect of it (using a moving screen to simulate a static screen) makes it a shitty solution. Eventually it'll be good enough to watch TV in but I can't imagine doing serious work in it.

  • This really feels like Reddit in the first couple years. It went to shit so gradually I didn't even notice although I can remember big events. I remember when "downvote ≠ disagree" and the place felt nicer.

    Yeah nowadays Reddit has not just every sub, but every meme version of a sub, and that's neat, but at what cost? I don't like being on it, and I've been um, banned an awful lot of times lately. Not really worth it. So I will have to try to build the top few communities I am missing here, like centuryhomes.

  • Yep my dog needs 1+ mile in the morning and at least 2 miles in the afternoon for optimal health - bowels, muscles, etc. He's 7 now and acts like a dog half his age.

    Then some of my friends are like "I try to take mine around the block at least once a week" and I am sad for their poor dog.

    Hard to find good dogsitters who will actually take them on long walks too.

  • Iowa was improving in the 90s, improving in the 2000s. They were blue then.

    Now I hate going back, it's not the same state I grew up in. Abortion billboards and porn stores, same as the bible belt now.

    The state is not improving but they don't care anymore, long as the right people (like me) get hurt.

  • The gap between expected behavior and behavior is narrowing each iteration, plus people are starting to understand the limitations a bit better. The things AI does well you're talking about are being parceled off as AI Agents for monetization and don't require additional staff to oversee, they're turnkey solutions.

    The headline here is that AI is costing us jobs but not replacing them. And if you're concerned that AI is a bubble, imagine what that'll mean when it blows and these companies start faltering and being purchased. This is all mindless disruption with no foresight.

  • Slicing them to vastly multiply their surface area so that more Maillard reaction can occur, and it's that Maillard reaction that causes the yummy browning, and causes the proteins and starches to change and become potentially harmful/carcinogenic, plus yes the addition of fatty oil that wasn't present at all.

    A lot of us think of "processing" as like, something a food processor does - reducing and changing the form. But it's also the chemical changes that occur during cooking as a result of the physical processes. When you look at the before/after of a potato and an equal volume of fries, it's apparent you've drastically changed the base food.
