I just expressed that AI is good in some places, like research.

AI is machine learning. It was just called “machine learning” before every C-suit had to try to sell it.

I’m with you when it comes to shitty images, but there is interesting approaches too IMO, especially when they will get better, if they do. As for art, it’s just another tool in the toolbox. Painters treated photography similarly, and do you remember (if you’re old enough) when digital cameras became affordable and everyone and their grandma became “a photographer” and flooded the planet with soulless photos? I do 😅

Art is art, no machine will change that, but maybe it will help people get into the arts, with the cost of a lot of slop ofc. Which is cool IMO.

Look what they have to do to mimic a fraction of our holidays.

Soon to introduce Super Power Shell 4.0 (non compatible)

Well, it seems you only judge AI on large language models, not when it’s used in other ways like in research. I integrated AI (Tensorflow) in a massive project in 2016, it outperformed other AI at the time and makes real differences in particle detection. For example.

So just know that AI isn’t just chatgpt or midjourney, that’s the products people try to shove into everything and upsell.

I have to correct you here, machine learning (AI) is extremely important in research. There is just no doubt about it.

Is AI image generators beneficial for society? Probably, I have artist friends who use AI images to help them paint for example, but is it out weighing the cost? Dunno.

Is AI slop beneficial? Orobably not :-)

Thanks!

I guess I just feel a little bit left out, am I xyz “enough”? But that’s a me problem :-) thanks again!

Well the USA is a democracy and Russia is and has always been an autocracy (with that little blip in the nineties). The USA doesn’t always value human life like you’d like but Russia outright uses, and has always used, people in slaughters, famins etc.

If you can’t see the difference then I do not want to try out your (anarchy?) solution…

Still interesting you can’t see your own country for what it is.

I don’t know about specific instances but AI has both good and bad sides, so it’d be stupid IMO to just go with a black’n white stance.

Most loudmouths don’t know what they are talking about too (on both sides).

I just don’t understand. It’s like having male pride month, I just don’t understand why separate it? Isn’t pride month for disabled people too (ofc it is)?

I’m not against it, I just wonder why.

Nowhere. I don’t know?

I’m obviously for both pride and helping people with disability, how do they fit together?

Time to disassemble then I guess!

But first, I’d try with the broken disk, or no disk at all just to be sure it’s not the new drive that’s causing problems.

Also, if you can find a YouTube disassembly video for your laptop, check that out.

Also, I arrange all the nuts, bolts, things I disassemble in order, and I take a lot of photos, you’ll thank yourself later when you forgot what that plastic thing is and how it should fit.

Good luck!

I’ve always went with the freezer compartment below, and the fridge “on top”.

It’s just so much more convenient.

Also, go with ventilated cold if you can, there is zero ice buildup and no “cold corners” (like you find out the salad just froze in the fridge because it was stuck against one of the cold walls) with that system.

Good luck!

Well assembly helps out a lot, like with jumps and mnemonics and more. Machine code is brutal.

This is good news!

Laptops are finicky, you probably disconnected a tiny tiny 2mm long cable without noticing.

You have tried to boot with power plugged in right?

Can’t answer your post, it’s too deep (I’m on Connect, it doesn’t handle deep posts very well) so I’m answering your latest post here.

After WW2 (that Russia started with Germany):

Russia occupied half of Europe by force, calling it the soviet union. Most countries didn’t have a say and didn’t want to be in the union, and no one was allowed to leave. Some were outright invaded like Czechoslovakia.

The USA has military bases all around the world yes, but most of them are wanted by the countries, and if asked the USA will leave (see France for example). The USA has not tried to annex one single country.

If you can’t see the difference we’ll then I just can’t discuss more subtle things with you like countries and borders and gouvernances. So yeah it took a turn there I guess, a shame if it ends, because it’s been interesting!

I do like 10 kettlebell swings, no plank (because I hate it) and my back has magically just become young again. It feels a little bit cool to swing that bad boy too.

I do sincerely recommend.

That’s not why they were evil 😑well not only that.
