That's a decent sized frog there!

I've been wrong before, but once realized, I don't hesitate to correct that behavior or belief out of some selfish fear of losing face.

I hope people shift, even slowly, away from MAGA, but I'll never respect the integrity of those who do so quietly with their tail between their legs.

Reminds me of some lyrics to one of the most prophetic songs of 2019:

The civil war didn't just begin, they've been blowing us to pieces

Rewarding our worst cruelty, they destroyed our shared reality

And now they upsell us our dignity like some fucked VIP package

I think with animal welfare, it matters less how the animal dies, and more the quality of life before death. Of course, death by torture or something would be bizarre and inexcusable. Some animals, even specific individual animals, need live prey if they are to be kept in captivity. It'd be more productive to advocate for better living conditions than "comfortable" deaths.

At what age were you married? Was it arranged?

I actually don't think this is shocking or something that needs to be "investigated." Other than the sketchy website that doesn't secure user's data, that is.

Actual child abuse / grooming happens on social media, chat services, and local churches. Not in a one on one between a user and a llm.

It doesn't help that the character on the right looks rad as fuck

Grok 2 uses the image model, "Flux." Flux is made by black forest labs. You two can download the model and run it locally on a moderately expensive gaming PC or use it for free at https://huggingface.co/spaces/black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev among other places.

I find it funny that the most newsworthy component of this product is made and distributed for free by a completely unrelated company. This is manufactured outrage by musk as a ploy to seem relivant in the ai space. All he did was put a free thing behind a Paywall.

I disagree with this premise. I think games like age of empires and StarCraft had mass appeal and success. They brought in audiences who don't normally like games, and broadly were well received by young, old, and different genders. Especially age of empires 2.

Modern RTS games are just (mostly) sloppy, unfinished, cashgrabs with no vision. They suffer the most from the transition to 3d as well. If a major studio actually put work and time into a polished, 2d, isometric, RTS that wasn't solely focused on being an esport, I think there is a major vacuum for them to fill.

The attrition is slow, but every user lost to Linux is likely lost forever. After a year or so of totally free software, who is going to build a new windows compatible PC, buy a Windows 11 license, and pay for subscription service just to do word processing, or play a few incompatible games?

Windows completely overestimates people's willingness to throw out their laptop or PC just to get a new OS paintjob. For every person who does it, another one will leave their ecosystem forever.

This feels... Scammy? Not to be accusatory, but gpt 4 is expensive to run. It is impossible for people to use it for free.

What llm is actually providing the response here? Either someone is footing the bill for an API and acting as a proxy, a situation which raises many red flags, or the model you're talking to is something far cheaper to run, like a mistral model.

Even the second case is sketchy. 😅

Beehaw is inaccessible to me right now. I cannot load my profile or the main page. In the event that Beehaw is down, is there some other place we can check to see updates? I'm assuming it's the reddit exodus hugging it to death.
