In defense of the ‘drunken sailors’ of Steam, many of the games they’ve bought are likely to still be playable for a long time, some were bought in half-yearly sales, and some were part of ‘bundles’ that were bought for a different game. The 30% also pays for the Content Delivery Network, marketing, a forum and sometimes moderation, and a genuine customer feedback mechanism. Who wouldn’t want to be part of an un-enshittified system? Fanboy? You bet. I’m not saying they can do no wrong, but they’re doing a lot right.

I understand what pon farr is, but where is the photo from? Which is the original? When was it taken and why? Is the original negative/print held by a particular organisation?

If plastic surgery is based on people with good looks, it seems to be very loosely based on them!

“has a model of how words relate to each other, but does not have a model of the objects to which the words refer.

It engages in predictive logic, but cannot perform syllogistic logic - reasoning to a logical conclusion from a set of propositions that are assumed to be true”

Is this true of all current LLMs?

[-] bpalmerau@aussie.zone 13 points 2 years ago

Absolutely. Do you remember the herp derp extension that would turn them all into ‘herp derp herp derp’ so that you wouldn’t have to read them?

The customer is not always right. Sometimes the customer is a douchebag.

Moderation in all things.

To avoid negative thinking, challenge the thought that a problem is personal, pervasive or permanent (Martin Seligman)

Parenting: Set a good example. Don’t punish. Teach. Tell them what TO do, not what not to do.

Having ideas about the way things ought to be is great, but you can only respond to what is.

Be excellent to each other. Do as you would be done by.
