Dude, you're on lemmy.ml which censors your words. Try to write 'bitch' for example, you can't. You also can't read it, it will show as removed (only for lemmy.ml users).

Not just for series, this is the same with games.

"The first 50 hours of Final Fantasy 14 suck, but the expansions afterwards are worth it!"

"The game starts at max level!"

I can't stand it. And it's not like the game magically gets much better, it just feels pretty okay for someone who just wasted months of their time on the bad parts. Of course you'll enjoy mediocre parts later on after suffering through that crap.

A game has to start being fun ten minutes after the tutorial tops. Why play it otherwise?

Having 4 active accounts is anything but leaving the platform. Hell, I thought they had a single account they are giving up (like most companies).

What bullshit.

You need to actually have sex to catch an STD..

TDD is great when you have a very narrow use case, for example an algorithm. Where you already know beforehand: If I throw A in B should come out. If I throw B in C should come out. If I throw Z in an error should be thrown. And so on.

For that it's awesome, which is mostly algorithms.

In real CRUD apps though? You have to write the actual implementation before the tests. Because in the tests you have to mock all the dependencies you used. Come up with fake test data. Mock functions from other classes you aren't currently testing and so on. You could try TDD for this, but then you probably spend ten times longer writing and re-writing tests :-/

After a while it boils down to: Small unit tests where they make sense. Then system wide integration tests for complex use-cases.

There’s this Computer Science 101 concept called Amdahl’s Law that was taught wrong as a result of this - people insisted ‘more processors won’t work faster,’ when what it said was, ‘more processors do more work.’

You massacred my boy there. It doesn't say that at all. Amdahl's law is actually a formula how much speedup you can get by using more cores. Which boils down to: How many parts of your program can't be run in parallel? You can throw a billion cores at something, if you have a step in your algorithm that can't run in parallel.. that's going to be the part everything waits on.

Or copied:

Amdahl's law is a principle that states that the maximum potential improvement to the performance of a system is limited by the portion of the system that cannot be improved. In other words, the performance improvement of a system as a whole is limited by its bottlenecks.

It doesn't really matter that it was her in this image. When you put "professional" into it then you can expect something along these results:

https://www.google.com/search?q=professional+woman

And overall in I'd say.. 7 out of 10 images this is a white woman in a Google search. So the probability is high that the training data also has a bias towards that.

Someone in the original lemmy.nz post said they did the exact same thing, same image, same prompt, and it turned her Indian. So if you have very wide training data the result would be rather "random". Or you have very narrow training data and the result will always be looking similar.

Grab an app focused on an Asian audience with beauty filters for example and it will turn a white person into an Asian one. But no one complains there that the app is racist.

If you have a basic understanding how AI works then this argument doesn't hold much water.

Let's take the human approach: I'm going to look at all the works of popular painters to learn their styles. Then I grab my painting tools and create similar works.

No credit there, I still used all those other works as input and created by own based on them.

With AI it's the same, just in a much bigger capacity. If you ask AI to redraw the Mona Lisa you won't get a 1:1 copy out, because the original doesn't exist in the trained model, it's just statistics.

Same as if you tell a human to recreate the painting, no matter how good they are, they'll never be able to perfectly reproduce the original work.

Your post is lacking details: Where did you post your review? What community?

The only ones able to remove your post are the instance admins (pick an instance you trust) and the community mods (pick a community where you agree with their rules).

If you got your content removed here then it was either wildly inappropriate or you broke community rules.

Honestly that's more user friendly than 9 out of 10 application forms I've run into.

The best way for me to avoid this mess for now has always been an email with my pdf files attached.

I'm leaning towards die. It would have lasted longer as Twitter. But as X? Old politicians will just get confused where their blue bird app went.
