i think i've seen it used to demo different image compression algorithms, things like that. it was used as an easy example test image, but this journal has now banned papers from using it because it is weird and creepy to be using cropped porn for that. this won't benefit the model, but she was only pushing to ban it because she wants more women in IT fields.

i liked ai when it was a bunch of researchers messing around, but commercialized ai is horrifying.

single gpu vm passthrough. took a few days for troubleshooting, and i didnt even want to get it to be undetectable by game anticheat, i hear that needs building your own kernel for some advanced detection methods.

idk, I've had some great experiences with competitive gaming, I don't think generalizing it all as a cancer is reasonable.

the sls has been in development for 13 years, and 24 billion dollars spent, and it has managed one uncrewed launch, and the cost per launch is expected to be 2 billion. i do not like elon musk, but spacex (and other launch startups) are clearly more innovative and get things done faster and cheaper.

I converted a pdf book scan to epub with tessaract ocr and calibre, it didn't need any programming, but the end result did have a typo every few paragraphs. Most were very similar to each other though, so a few hours cleaning it up would've made it pretty readable.

cracked servers (that dont need a microsoft account and dont use their authentication) are quite common, in fact you dont need "patched" server software to make one, it is literally a setting in the default microsoft provided server!

you would want some sort of in game authentication through a plugin (spigot, bukkit, etc) to prevent people from claiming to be your username and the server blindly trusting them and getting your stuff stolen though.

Nah it's more about pointing out how groups of people that are into tech like linux, programming etc, seem to have a lot of lgbtq people. Anecdotally, I have seen a lot programming communities with an oddly large number of lgbtq people in them.

Eh, I can see your point, and the commentor also mentioned jesus in another comment, which is weird and annoying, but I think in the original comment it was being used as a way to show that this idea has been around for a very long time, and give more credence to their point.

I would certainly never quote the bible, and it is kinda weird, but I don't think its bad enough to be worth discarding their main message.
