I’m not sure what I said is conflicting, and I feel like your statement is trying to minimize the point I am making, but thats ok, I believe we will never come to agreement here because I firmly disagree with the disruption of privacy for the sake of advertisement.

You can say my feelings are meaningless, but as this gets more invasive people will seek ways to opt out, which I believe is meaningful, although you can say and feel whatever you want my friend :).

Thanks for the book rec, I’ll look it over!

honestly this seems pretty genius, I always wondered how much compute was wasted to make the AI sound smart/flowery/friendly/whatever-eey when all I wanted was raw information.

Yeah I understand that, but I will never support trading privacy so advertisers can generate more revenue, so I will continue to propose non-invasive alternatives and tell people supporting invasive methods that they are wrong.

I mean most of the ads I get are meaningless to me despite being personalized, I feel like a lot of people say the same thing, but maybe I am in the minority here.

Either way, I don’t think you need to invade peoples privacy to advertise to them, but agree to disagree. You’re proposing and supporting a level of capitalism that I find repulsive, profit at all costs, privacy isn’t a cost I want to spend.

idk maybe you’re right, we’ll see if we both live long enough to find out…

Not much to do with them unless you want to photograph something specific, and for photographers/videographers the quality can be a let down unless you spend like 2k+ at least, because you basically are using a flying GoPro (DJIs version, but still not exactly mind blowing photography capabilities there).

So many pavement prince(ss) trucks in California, I feel like in the past you would see a back swing against democrats when gas prices soared, as people often attribute poor gas prices to democrats.

When the policies of DJ are so clearly the cause, will it have a different effect this time?

well now I have something to do this weekend if the weather is poor, thank you!

Honestly surprised Facebook didn’t try to harness all the open tabs of fb on different computers to try and create some kind of networked compute AI…

ah ok, I have some experience hosting Ollama and of course stable diffusion, but haven’t really messed with too many others, thanks for the insight!

Yeah in my experience the better your input (original writing) and prompt, the better it does, although I think it really depends on what you’re looking for.

I can be a bit… Verbose…? So when there is a character or text limit I will use an LLM to shorten or condense my thoughts, which has turned out fairly well, but I bet the quality degrades quickly as the inputs degrade in quality.

For context and to your knowledge of the field, is Qwen 3.5 supposed to be cutting edge?

The Expanse sheds one I believe to be a plausible picture of our future, although it seems optimistic on some fronts.

funny how the toolbox makes their one whisker look loooooonngggg

Maybe? I think they used to advertise based on the content and expected demographics for the website, which is an alternative method that doesn’t require invasive digital fingering.

wow, seems like I probably heard that story before and internalized without realizing, although I would love to believe I guessed correctly.

Super cool piece of history, its easy to forget often people are just flying by the seat of their pants despite the way history and photographs make it look / feel otherwise.

I don’t think they were doing EVAs or anything, so I don’t really know how impressive the boots need to be, although I am thinking the construction boots / loggers on the middle two are not the regulation ones.

I am picturing them realizing they didn’t bring their boots or they were still being made on picture day, so NASA engineers running around trying to find people who had a pair of boots they were willing to let them spray paint LOL.

Looks like left and right are wearing the actual boots btw

Yeah but the people on their left and right are wearing different boots, that is what I was referring to.

For sure, I’m just talking about the alleged correlation between the two events, as that is what the article is discussing.

It paints the Venezuela action as resulting in regime change, although I feel like it did not.

Right? Like I remember a day and age when the ads were not obtrusive and awful, I would happily go back to a middle ground with normal sidebar/in video ads.
