• Sometimes he walks around the house carrying stuffed animals in his mouth and makes weird, pathetic sounding noises. Hard to describe. But it doesn’t SEEM like he wants our attention or anything. So, idk.

One of our cats does something similar, walks around the house with a toy in his mouth, making very loud, very pathetic sounding “mrrow” noises. Once he finds someone though he drops the toy, sits, and looks at them expectantly. I think he thinks he’s hunting for us, so we reward him with pets when he brings us his “kill”, and that usually makes him puff out his chest all proud and purr like crazy.

There are NFL prospects that don’t put up 8-12 reps at 225 during the combine, and those dudes are borderline superhuman. Like I know this is a joke thread on a meme post, but I just wanted to provide some context on just how difficult it actually is to bench press 225 pounds (really really really hard)

That might also be part of the satire

You understand rivers largely empty into oceans, right? Your tequila analogy leaves that part out. Eventually, you’re still dumping tequila (heat) into the pool (ocean).

If the heat made by the data centers can warm rivers, and those rivers can warm the oceans… Aren’t the data centers already warming the oceans? Which would mean that putting data centers directly in the ocean would definitely warm the oceans?

Rip all those people living in the houses directly between a soccer stadium and F1 track

Is this a Kagi ad lmao

It’s not that weird for a space where the vast majority are men, unfortunately

Unfortunately

Windows 11 has evolved to a point where it works just really, really well when used on dedicated hardware.

In what reality? Because it’s certainly not the one I exist in

If the fediverse is shedding users, it’s because we still haven’t figured out a better way to explain federation other than “it’s like email”, the process of choosing an instance is vague and daunting, the process of moving to a new instance is vague and daunting, and people instance-police incessantly, creating a feeling that you have to choose the correct instance. That, plus the pervasive misogyny that rears its ugly head every once in a while.

I promise you though, people being “unwelcoming” by using silly terms is not why the fediverse is shedding users.

There’s some pretty obvious middle ground before making a deposit to the First National Bank of My Mattress. You could find a different bank that doesn’t use those captchas, or even do all your banking in person.

Lol you’re really underselling how difficult it is to write cheats.

There’s still quite a few ways to detect that kind of thing though, both automatically and manually. At the end of the day, if enough people report the 3 day old account for hitting flicks like Carpe, it’s gonna get banned pretty quick. And if a few escape through the cracks, well, like I told the other person, I’d rather lose to a cheater occasionally than install malware on my computer.

SBMM can be a good solution as well, but I believe that should be a separate, opt-in thing. Matchmade games always tend to lean more competitive/sweaty/sometimes toxic, whereas games without matchmaking are usually more casual-friendly. I think it’s nice when games give you the choice.

The line is gonna be fuzzy, and based on multiple systems, both automated and manual, and none of it will be perfect. But at the end of the day, it’s a fucking video game. I’d rather lose occasionally to a cheater than install malware on my computer.

Know thy enemy

You wouldn’t necessarily need machine learning, but you would need some sort of heuristics algorithm that checks a player’s inputs to ensure they look like real human inputs. I’m sure the auto-aim mouse pad makes microadjustments or sudden changes that aren’t feasible for a human to make, and that sort of stuff is readily detectable.

Couple different layers of joke, actually.

The first is that they didn’t actually misread $12B as $128, but saying so is a cheeky reference to how B and 8 look similar.

The second is sort of an attempt at absurdist humor. Obviously $128 is not going to get you very far towards building a physical AI engineer, and that question violates our rational expectations in a way that some find humorous.

When people and businesses stop buying their products

Holding hands with another person is harder than standard or suicide grip under a barbell, because holding someone’s hand means leaving the gym for an extended period of time

You’re not wrong. But on the other hand, do we really need a browser API for measuring a user’s SSD usage?
