@npub1psd…9sr7 Of course when you put it like that cats seem like the perfect companions, but there's also drawbacks. You still need to feed them and all.

@npub12ze…hunm at this point I'm more like "blindly mistrust, then be shocked if it was actually right"

Rule #1 of the internet in 2024: If it's written on the internet, it's false.
(The exceptions are negligible to a first approximation, like with a broken clock)

For all the talk about #cara and disallowing #ai from scraping our content, I haven't seen much about how #mastodon and other fediverse apps deal with this.
Is Mastodon content able to be collected for training AIs? Is there some configuration to stop it specific to each instance? Is there an easy way to check and find out?

@npub1mc3…nkdg Well, there is one line that's a comment, though its information content is on the low side.

#Amazon recommendations listing these. Do these companies even actually exist? Is someone just picking random 6-letter names and automatically registering companies in these names or something?
And those products look almost, but not exactly identical, it's kind of eerie...
Special mention to KUNTEC as a company name though.

Being able to remotely lock a phone you don't have credentials for using just a phone number? What could possibly go wrong?

Nowadays terminals and other text views can get rendered with GPU acceleration support, like the kitty terminal that I use.
🤔 That means we could get bloom, chromatic aberration, distortion, depth of field and other post process effects into our terminals, what are we waiting for?

@npub12ze…hunm What's a Web Page? Is it a new Facebook alternative?

Getting more interesting now, though still not exactly perfect, but it's pretty neat to play with. It's quite heavy performance wise though, I'll have to see if I can get this down to a reasonable cost while retaining the fun.

Sometimes when tweaking things that are very sensitive, such as audio generation or physics systems, I just play around with parameters for a while, sometimes getting cool results, sometimes screwing up, quickly saving and testing as I go.
Then I feel like going back to something I had earlier, but it's hard to reproduce it. I don't have a great solution for that yet, maybe I should just have a mode where I commit every save to git or something?
Does anyone else do that?

@npub1mc3…nkdg Unplugging the network cable has been a solid productivity boost tactic for me for many years.

@npub1pu3…8r76 Interesting system, there's some parallel with Roman numerals, like IX, XC etc.
It's not exactly the same and balanced more towards one end of the range but there's some similarity.
