But it’s called an “agent”! Of course it has agency!

Oh absolutely, I think that is already happening, but it hasn’t reached broad public awareness yet. Reddit has 20 years of momentum, it won’t stop all at once.

I suspect the company is aware that user engagement is dropping, along with the quality of new content. Typical of most corporations, their response is to play defensive, to try to maximize the value of what they already have, to scratch and claw and squeeze every drop from the existing data and userbase. This will accelerate the decline, obviously, but when a company is in this state they consider any strategy besides protectionism to be too high a risk.

They will ruin themselves with cowardice, to be sure, but they’re still coasting on momentum for the moment. They will continue making the same types of decisions, at an accelerating pace, as the desperation sets in.

Sarcasm aside, you can buy these in dev kits on MicroCenter:

Which means the components are pretty widely available. I’m not sure how you’d prevent someone from ordering a bunch to an in-between country and then shipping them on to Russia after.

Olive, vegetable, avocado or coconut oil will soften the glue and cause it to peel away. Put a few drops on the glued area and rub it in.

Valve shares delivery-related information with CEVA so that it can ship Steam hardware in Europe, and it appears that this personal data is what was stolen. This personally identifiable information (PII) may include your name, address, country, phone number, email address, and the details of the products you ordered. CEVA stores customer data for up to 90 days after an order is assigned to them, which means that the data for lots of customers may have been leaked. Fortunately, payment information, Steam account details, authentication codes, and more are not stored at CEVA.

The leak was not from Valve but from the shipping company used to distribute their hardware in Europe. Your Steam account details are not leaked, but any information related to shipping probably is.

Following this breach and the subsequent exfiltration of data, Valve has asked customers to be wary of contact attempts from fraudulent entities who have taken hold of your leaked information and may use it to prove that they are genuine. Customers do not need to change their passwords, but they definitely should not share their account details with any person identifying them as a courier service for your hardware.

Ah, of course. How could I miss that.

What are you, 12?

Not like reddit is relevant these days.

Even within the lemmy user community people still occasionally refer to reddit because there isn’t a better source for some things. Outside of lemmy, reddit is a household name alongside facebook, snapchat &etc; people who don’t use it still know what it is. I think your conclusion is more aspirational than currently real.

Probably, it looks like there’s a fairly thick layer of concrete underneath, but still shit breaks - and never forget the most important rule of engineering: everything leaks.

Actually, all of my direct questions have either been dodged or ignored. No one has been able to offer any answer as to which rule I actually broke that was deserving of a ban, or why a 73-year ban with no warning and no recourse was justified.

Nonsense, you can run Linux on the PS5, and you don’t need the plastic donut anymore.

Mass driver impact:

Somebody took a shot at the planet a long time ago.

On the other hand, you can’t have banter without a bit of mockery. A relationship without some traded jabs is tepid, superficial, at best. It indicates that the people in the relationship don’t really trust each other, that the emotional stability of the relationship is untested and unreliable.

It shouldn’t be constant, and it shouldn’t be one-sided, and it also shouldn’t be completely absent.

There is a JB Weld UV glue product that comes with a UV LED attached:

https://www.jbweld.com/product/superweld-light-activated

It’s a blend, not pure UV resin, that will harden quickly where the light hits it but will also slowly cure without UV exposure, so the inner parts of the joint will harden over time.

I use this and I’ve found that it is almost as good as standard 2-part epoxy in most cases, and easier to use.

Volume, and breadth of subject material. For language model purposes the specific content isn’t really important, it’s the wide variety of language samples from many sources, all in the same data format. You could get similar samples from other platforms, but you’d have to compile them from multiple sources and then standardize them somehow for input as training data.

I also have questions about the tiles in these areas:

They appear to be angled upward such that rain would run underneath.

All of their business decisions for the past few years have been centered around monetizing Reddit content as training data for machine learning models. Most likely this recent decision is an attempt to block data scraping.

Judges are not product designers. Judges are not trust & safety experts. Judges are not child safety experts. They do not understand how all these things work together. They do not understand the tradeoffs of their decisions.

Arguably, neither does Meta. Or alternatively, they do understand perfectly and have intentionally made malicious decisions, forcing the judge into the position of taking those decisions away from them.

We need some kind of third-party oversight group that has enforcement powers, but is somehow immune to corporate influence, goverent overreach, and religious fundamentalism.

I see a godawful time replacing a broken roof tile.

I mean… did you miss all the reporting on Salt Typhoon and Volt Typhoon?
