Not one of my pronouns. Never been in a tank. I don’t even own a tank top. It sounds like a sophomoric pejorative neologism. Why would I adopt such a label? No.

Sublinks is not Lemmy. This is basically hijacking the largest instance to do something entirely different. It means everything done here will eventually break. This is like kbin or beehaw. This eventually leads to isolation and everyone leaves. This move is the death of Lemmy as it has been for several months.

The offline AI that I tried a few months ago probably needed training on the noise environment to get decent results. I forget which ones I tried but likely the ones with extensions already in Oobabooga Textgen. I was messing with text to speech mostly, but some of the ones that do TTS also have packages and examples for STT. Nothing I tried for offline generation was good enough to speak as an AI prompt without manual corrections.

Basically a pinhole camera. The lens is doing the same thing as your eyeball. If your eye can see it, so can the lens.

Any word on the next generation of matrix math acceleration hardware? Is anything currently getting integrated into the kernel? Where are the gource branches looking interesting for hardware pulls and merges?

How do you feel about yourself? Do you like to be around you in an abstract sense?

Yeah, but neither makes sense any more. I use yymmdd in my default file naming for natural sorting hierarchy. I just don’t think in that context. I guess that makes this post an interesting reflection from a couple of extra angles.

Our US 3 digit area codes for phone number regions are likely not really paralleled elsewhere in the world either. It’s interesting all the little cultural subtleties that shape the mind.

Like at 7:04 you might think of July 4th. All numerical dates are represented on a 12 hour clock (e: if you’re using mmdd). I’m asking if your pattern recognition software is picking up on such a meaningless correlation and giving it some pleasant side effect or if that is not a very common mental connection.

The Expanse in the first couple of seasons did a decent job of showing that the characters were flawed and not at the center of the world while struggling against a system that is a more realistic portrayal of what monsters exceptionalism really creates.

This aspect of Star Trek the next generation did a pretty good job of contextualizing the fact that the events on the Enterprise were the stories of one of many such vessels.

EDIT:

That is why I like Dune and Asimov’s universe as well.

In Dune there is a ton of exceptionalism, and it is outright shown to be awful for the average person. I would argue that every form of exceptionalism throughout the books is always met with an equally negative outcome and flaw.

In Asimov’s stuff there is exceptional altruism in Daneel. The most exceptional characters like The Mule is shown as a tyrant. Hari Seldon is unexceptional in his exceptional idea, but is dead for the exceptional events that followed and his exceptionalism is constantly in question.

I’m so sick of exceptionalism. Every damn thing seems to center around some shitty thinly veiled oligarch, their kids as some hero, or unhappenable origins and an impossible hero. Everything is geared towards cultural acceptance of some authoritarian neo feudal dystopian future.

Stories can be interesting in other spaces. We all exist within those real spaces. We can fantasize about better places and times within similar realities as our own. I view all this exceptionalism like collective narcissism. I can’t tell if it is an universal writing bias or a publishing bias, but I don’t like it.
