AI is essentially a useless term because it has been used to describe everything from an LLM to a single if statement in the code of a video game.

Save Image As…

Likewise. Don’t expect it from China though.

I think there’s a pretty major failure in overall AI/Machine learning as well. Elsewhere on Lemmy I saw someone talking about how the neural processor built into their laptop essentially doesn’t function. Like there isn’t and will never be any software that runs on it because it’s badly implemented and badly or not at all documented.

China has no need for open source because they steal everything anyway.

I bring you: The Tupolev Tu-104.

We don’t cotton to freaks around here.

How many months do you leave them in the water? 50? 60? Or do you ever take them back out?

There is a movie called Club Paradise. Mid-80’s comedy starring Robin Williams and Jimmy Cliff, Twiggy, a bunch of 80’s comedy regulars, Peter O’Toole is in it. The plot of the film is local honest people vs corrupt government and business, but minute to minute it’s mostly a spring break shenanigans movie starring a bunch of adults? Like, Rick Moranis and Eugene Levy play a pair of potheads named Barry and Barry who repeatedly fail to score weed and chicks.

It has mostly negative reviews, but I’m fond of it. It DOES NOT work as a cinema film, I cannot imagine going to a theater, sitting reverently and quietly as it boomed down at me, but it works on TV as “let’s put a tape in while we’re getting ready for Family Saturday Afternoon Hobby Outing/waiting for Family Saturday Afternoon Hobby Venue to open.”

Reloaded and Revolutions was one of those cases where a movie was so huge that they decided to make two sequels back to back.

The first movie would sometimes dip into weird metaphysics but it kept to its theme enough to remain in your head. It’s a fairly straightforward monomyth hero’s journey plot with themes of destiny versus agency.

The sequels were crammed full of pointless “lots of shit happens on screen” action scenes and pseudophilosophic drivel.

What’s objectively terrible about Tremors?

The TV series and movies beyond the third one are objectively terrible. But the first two are solid films and the third one is good for a laugh.

“take of your pants.”

What’s red and smells like blue paint?

Red paint.

You know, I think if Stallman had put as much thought into the code of HURD as he did the acronym, Linus Torvalds wouldn’t be where he is today.

If the cheeks and the sole of your plane aren’t square, use the lateral adjust lever to tilt the blade so that it is square to the cheek.

I recommend Paul Fellows, who has a large catalog of brief astronomy lectures under his “Once Around” series.

Found the microbrain.

Remember when Futurama joked that the iPhone cost $500?

Hear the kitty, greedy kitty

She is begging for food

She has noticed that I’m cooking chicken

Hear her meowing, greedy meowing

She won’t leave me alone

She won’t shut up till she gets a piece

Silver cat, Izzy cat

It’s feeding time, for the kitty.

Hear her whine, all the time

My little mooch of a pet!

Yeah if 4 people uninstalled the program last time, and 6 people uninstalled it this time, that’s a 150% increase from last time.
