When I hear "AI", I think of that thing that proofreads my emails and writes boilerplate code. Just a useful tool among a long list of others. Why would I spend emotional effort hating it? I think people who "hate" AI are just as annoying as the people pushing it as the solution to all our problems.

- What happens to the ball? It rolls of the side of the table.
- Color: I didn't imagine a specific color
- Gender: I didn't imagine a specific gender. Most of the person was "out of the frame"
- What did they look like: Again, most of the person was out of the frame, they were just kind of a gray silhouette
- What size was the ball? Like a dodgeball I guess?
- What about the table? Very minimalist square table made up of five rectangular prisms (the surface and four legs). No specific material, uniform texture. I imagined everything in isometric perspective.
This is what I recall from my first time imagining the scenario, I'd have to imagine some more if I wanted to give specific answers.
With all due respect, I don't believe aphantasia is a real thing. The way people imagine things is so varied, weird, strange, and unique that I don't think it makes sense assigning labels. Different people will give varying levels of detail to different parts of their imagination based on their past experiences and knowledge.If you ask someone to imagine a chessboard, someone who plays chess might imagine a specific opening or valid board state, while someone who doesn't might just have a vague blob of chess pieces on a board.
Even with your ball on a table experiment, the experiences people have had throughout the day may give more or less detail to the imagined scenario. I'm fairly certain that the reason I imagined everything so abstractly is because recently I found an artwork with a similar minimalist isometric style that I liked a lot, so it's kind of floating around in my subconsciousness and affecting how I imagine things.

Fediverse will never EVER hit critical mass unless the users and mods stop calling everyone they don’t agree with a Nazi.
TBH this is to be expected from a demographic made up largely of ex-reddit users

I've watched the whole video through, and honestly that felt like an underbaked take. People will have difficulty understanding federation? Seriously!? Surprise surprise, but if you know what email is, you already understand federation.

Maybe I'm confused, but from what I understand, "declarative" means you tell the computer what you want the final thing to look like, and "imperative" means you tell the computer what steps to take. So Dockerfile would be imperative because it's a set of commands that are executed in-order to create the image. Meanwhile docker-compose.yml is declarative because you say which containers are used with what options and how they're interconnected. IDK tho, as far as I understand the definitions aren't that rigid

This (and systemd bugs) is the main reason I moved away from nixos on my homeserver. Nowadays if I want declarative configuration, I just cram everything into docker containers and write a huge docker-compose.yml
for everything that I want to run. Would still recommend nixos for things that don't require a lot of tweaking. Like if I had to set up a simple website for a small business or something. I love how you can set up SSL certificates for nginx with autorenewal just by switching it on in configuration.nix

Ususally just turning off javascript using ublock makes these notices go away. And if turning off javascript breaks the website... well then I guess whatever I was trying to read wasn't really worth my time anyway.

Void on laptop, alpine on homeserver. Yep, checks out.
Love how the indian guy sitting meme perfectly sums up how I feel about alpine, nixos, and freebsd, even though those are completely different projects with different directions and goals. "It's boring and it just works".

John Oliver did a nice explanation
Basically they pretend to have the wrong number, but then start chatting with you, gain your trust over a period of months, and then ask you for money or similar.

So...
- normal people are scared because they fall for the gambler's fallacy,
- mathematician is feeling fine because a 50% chance is a 50% chance,
- and the scientist is feeling extra fine because the experimental data shows that the surgery is actually safer than 50%
Did I get it right?

Yeah, it took me a while to realize it. Hence the deleted comment.

I always thought "based" was a contraction of "based on facts and logic" (or similar)

Goodness, your trolling is god-tier! It's so funny seeing how many people in this thread, including op, are taking your comment at face value. It's satire of the highest level: easy to miss as a bystander, yet devastating to the target.

Okay, then that means I misunderstood your comment. Seems like we're on the same page.

It's impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing
I heard some people say theyre the same thing, but others are adamant that they have different meanings. Which is it?
I've just been playing around with https://browserleaks.com/fonts . It seems no web browser provides adequate protection for this method of fingerprinting -- in both brave and librewolf the tool detects rather unique fonts that I have installed on my system, such as "IBM Plex" and "UD Digi Kyokasho" -- almost certainly a unique fingerprint. Tor browser does slightly better as it does not divulge these "weird" fonts. However, it still reveals that the google Noto fonts are installed, which is by far not universal -- on a different machine, where no Noto fonts are installed, the tool does not report them. For extra context: I've tested under Linux with native tor browser and flatpak'd Brave and Librewolf. What can we do to protect ourselves from this method of fingerprinting? And why are all of these privacy-focused browsers vulnerable to it? Is work being done to mitigate this?
Hi all! I recently built a cold storage server with three 1TB drives configured in RAID5 with LVM2. This is my first time working with LVM, so I'm a little bit overwhelmed by all its different commands. I have some questions: 1. How do I verify that none of the drives are failing? This is easy in case of a catastrophic drive failure (running `lvchange -ay <volume group>` will yell at you that it can't find a drive), but what about subtler cases? 1. Do I ever need to manually resync logical volumes? Will LVM ever "ask" me to resync logical volumes in cases other than drive failure? 1. Is there any periodic maintenance that I should do on the array, like running some sort of health check? 1. Does my setup prevent me from data rot? What happens if a random bit flips on one of the hard drives? Will LVM be able to detect and correct it? Do I need to scan manually for data rot? 1. LVM keeps yelling at me that it can't find `dmeventd`. From what I understand, `dmeventd` doesn't do anything by itself, it's just a framework for different plugins. This is a cold storage server, meaning that I will only boot it up every once in a while, so I would rather perform all maintenance manually instead of delegating it to a daemon. Is it okay to not install `dmeventd`? 1. Do I need to monitor SMART status manually, or does LVM do that automatically? If I have to do it manually, is there a command/script that will just tell me "yep, all good" or "nope, a drive is failing" as opposed to the somewhat overwhelming output of `smartctl -a`? 1. Do I need to run SMART self-tests periodically? How often? Long test or short test? Offline or online? 1. The boot drive is an SSD separate from the raid array. Does LVM keep any configuration on the boot drive that I should back up? Just to be extra clear: I'm not using `mdadm`. `/proc/mdstat` lists no active devices. I'm using the built-in raid5 feature in lvm2. I'm running the latest version of Alpine Linux, if that makes a difference. Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated! --- How I created the array: ``` pvcreate /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc vgcreate myvg /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc pvresize /dev/sda pvresize /dev/sdb pvresize /dev/sdc lvcreate --type raid5 -L 50G -n vol1 myvg lvcreate --type raid5 -L 300G -n vol2 myvg lvcreate --type raid5 -l +100%FREE -n vol3 myvg ``` For education purposes, I also simulated a catastrophic drive failure by zeroing out one of the drives. My procedure to repair the array was as follows, which seemed to work correctly: ``` pvcreate /dev/sda vgextend myvg /dev/sda vgreduce --remove --force myvg lvconvert --repair myvg/vol1 lvconvert --repair myvg/vol2 lvconvert --repair myvg/vol3 ```
Fun fact: Torx screwdrivers are compatible with Torx Plus screws, but Trox Plus screwdrivers are only compatible with Torx screws that are one size larger
