Technology@lemmy.world•Google Earth’s New AI Lets Anyone Fabricate Completely Bullshit Satellite Images

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Wouldn't a decentralized AI that croud sources compute power from person computers make all of their stupid data centers obsolette?
15 daysWhy though? What problem is your model trying to solve. Shitty crowd computing crap like SETI is already a massive fucking waste of resources.
Whatever resources you have, just try to use them efficiently, for something useful.
Oh dear, my comment is a waste of resources.
Don’t worry, your pension fund or bank can. They will gladly use your savings to print money to give to people (not-you) to bid up the price.
ed: tbf your savings are fairly irrelevant part of their balance sheet, but if they were effectively regulated then they might be . . .

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Albums should be listened to in entirety as they are a single piece of art.
19 daysYes, maybe, for some.
Not many live shows (ignoring classical i guess) follow album order though and they’re very rarely worse than the LP.
Jeffrey Lewis did a cool interlude recently last time he played here on how he comes up with the set list for a city - he has a massive database.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•What Would it Mean if Our Self-Awareness is Only a Brief Incident, or Even a Mistake in Evolution?
29 daysIt’d mean we’re all gonna be just dirt in the ground.
Evolution dosen’t make “mistakes” though, and there is no “progress” or “development”; those are probably self-deception by some lifeforms that are too self-aware.
Evolution just ‘happens’, and the resultant mix of lifeforms and traits mutually ‘adapt’ to the ecosystem and wider environment.

Games@lemmy.world•"My 'Microsoft will probably be a good steward of the brand' statement isn't aging well" - id Software co-founder John Carmack speaks out after devastating Xbox layoffs
29 daysI think I had a demo of one of the mechwarrior games, but it ran slow on my PC, or was a bit boring, or something, I never got on with it.
It was in the doom era though , and very little could compete (from my perspective) - so probably i just played doom coop (until it turns into defacto deathmatch) anyway. I mean that was most of the 1990s the way i remember it.
Certainly the mechwarrior demo wouldn’t have had networking anyway - but i feel like maybe it got less out of my meagre hardware than doom did.

Games@lemmy.world•"My 'Microsoft will probably be a good steward of the brand' statement isn't aging well" - id Software co-founder John Carmack speaks out after devastating Xbox layoffs
29 daysHonest question: What were the best games developed directly by ms on it’s own. I can only think of flight simulator, and that’s not really a game. I just genuinely don’t think I’ve played any.
I mean ignoring minesweeper and space cadet pinball or whatever.
Oh maybe like forza motorsport? was that them?
It’s weird that they don’t brand them - I guess B2B is too important to them to risk reputation on frivolity. Which is odd because of all the f-words i could use about sharepoint, i think frivolous is about the nicest.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Not once in my entire life have I ever "accidentally" unsubscribed from an email list.
1 monthI have.
A mailing list i liked - giving upcoming concerts, with worthwhile opinions on the musicians, was having to comply with GDPR, they sent a few reminders for me to to do something before some deadline.
I didn’t do it by accident. So i got unsubscribed, and i never really found out how to resubscribe.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Music streaming services should introduce tags as an alternative to playlists
1 monthNo. My records can exist in one, and only one, slot on the shelf. So fuck everyone else and their modern crap. /s
Seriously though, i do much prefer physical media and all its inconvenient rituals . mp3s are great like radio, but slightly less so, but i’m never going to consider them real music. TBF i even more prefer it when the musicians are on stage and literally make sounds by manually wobbling instruments . I cant imagine anything less efficient.

Games@lemmy.world•GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe?
1 monthoh right, cool. i’ll stick to my chunky chunks then.

Games@lemmy.world•GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe?
1 monthIs there such a thing?
I’ve had a few crappy ones, they’re basically e-waste after a few uses or trips. So I revert to a full size internal sata one or the same but in a 5.1/4" external caddy (powered).
Buy a phone that lineage os support then. Way more options than pixels. Pretty cheap used, you just have to accept one from a few years ago. and make sure that any required bootloader unlock from oem can still be done.

Technology@lemmy.world•"'I don’t like that he made this donation' — Mullvad CEO reacts to co-founder’s donation to controversial Swedish populist party"
1 monthHe did scam money out of govts and banks to help pay those hires though. It turns out that scamming is the most valued skill in the world.

I’ve never seen the waste management on these. I guess you just dump it all in Flint, MI or somewhere else that can’t afford lawyers.

1 monthIt’d be cool to see a remake of jaws except the shark is played by a fishing trawler.

Games@lemmy.world•Solved or not, what games have great detailed mysteries/conspiracy theories that you can completely miss?
1 monthDid you hear the one about what the bishop did to the horsey in chess?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We're all a bunch of worms and tubes all tangled up in a weird shape and I don't like it.
2 monthsTorus is tube fellatio.
I’ve heard the phrase “captain of industry”, not sure about “captain of enterprise” i guess that’s basically a synonym.
