Those were just random examples that came to mind. I’m sure there are places where people have an impression of Chinese people based on tourists, etc.

Americans just stand out because you see them everywhere, because they have a huge amount of wealth.

The point I was trying to make is that it’s tourists in general who might tend to be more annoying.

I think they are just talking about annoying main-character type people you see traveling all over the world. It’s not really an American thing, it’s just that a you’re likely to come across an American one of these assholes due to various statistical factors. I’m sure in Spain they have the same idea about the English, or in Indonesia about Australians.

If you’re the type of person to think about this and contemplate how people perceive you, I strongly suspect you are not going to annoy anyone.

To whom? I just checked, today alone were 20 artists played.

You don’t have to be perfect with this. Just pick someone who made a new album you loved; ideally someone who actually needs the money. And you can always buy vinyl, merch, or a digital album instead of just donating.

They’re going to have to generate at least 10 new Ayn Rand novels to feed into the next training data set.

It should be possible to use a distributed web of trust for this.

Back to hell with ye

Someone already said key lime pie, so I’ll put in my current favourite savoury pie, a gruyère and leek pie more or less like this:

Laying on my back on my sofa playing Clair Obscure at 720p, while my overpowered gaming pc with giant screens is just over there.

I don’t even bother trying to stream games or use the dock on my TV, I just like holding a little rectangle in front of my face.

It feels weird that it has it’s own domain name and slogan. I get that there’s a promotional aspect to it, but it seems a bit much.

Maybe a bit of a forgotten genre, but there were some absolute classics like the Panzer Dragoon series.

I really need to figure out a better sandboxing method for shells. It’s crazy to be things where my keys, browser data, shell history are all accessible.

I do try to use firejail where possible, but it’s quite cumbersome. Every so often I look for tools to help with this, but everything is oriented around making a specific program (e.g. Firefox, steam) work.

Yeah, I’d say for information, certainly, but there are other ways you could be valuable. A dev on a popular open source project might be very valuable for executing supply chain attacks.

Something feels off today

I was thinking the same thing just based on downloading some tarballs for some open source projects. General speed tests were fine.

I feel like I’m having a Mandela Effect moment because this seems very familiar.

I did some searching and it reminded me that there was a shop called Tesseract Computers in my home town.

For the blue cube, are you perhaps thinking of an SGI workstation of some sort? Some of those were blue cubes.

machines will be able to ‘think like humans’ when it happens

Maybe AGI is just a brain-destroying pandemic?

I think a web of trust is a much more powerful concept. Users should be able to choose how they distribute and delegate trust.

The tree invite thing is what private torrent trackers have been doing for a long time.

You can audit the code but something like:

The rate of commits and new features seems rather high for a single person working by themselves

Is a huge problem in itself IMO. It implies there’s no real human oversight of the project.

It’s because CEOs don’t play cyberpunk, but they did try chatgpt and got an immediate boner thinking about all the people they could lay off.

That’s the scary thing. It can easily create more code than it can understand, and do it faster than human understanding can keep up with.
