That would be the dumbest thing he could possibly do to himself. Honestly I hope he is smarter than that because Putin would turn him upside down and shake him until every last nickel falls out of his pockets, and put it all into the war effort against the Ukraine.
Humorous rogue cyborgs aren’t super common, alas. The tongue-in-cheek humor of it reminds me of Stainless Steel Rat a bit, and occasionally Larry Niven’s stuff too. His Gil Hamilton character is pretty droll at times, and it comes through in some of his short stories about him. (For pure humor from Niven, try “The Flight of the Horse”.)
You might try Strata by Terry Pratchett, which is a bit in both camps? It’s a one-off, but a lot of fun. Can’t say it has anything at all to do with rogue cyborgs though.
I mean I’ve been using DuoLingo for like a decade (only paid the last 2 years) and it’s been very useful until now.
I’ll be looking for a new Spanish app when my subscription expires next year now, alas.
Honestly I have used Blue Sky and Mastodon and Mastodon feels a lot more elegant to me, personally.
What I don’t get is why anyone would ever choose commercial social media again given there are Activity Pub clones for practically everything now, where you aren’t the product. So many people learned nothing from the ongoing Twitter debacle and the zillion Facebook privacy scandals apparently.
It is always hilarious and strange to see the buy-in on these things. We have a single coder in his late 60s that has bought in hard to spicy autocorrect. Meanwhile, the youngest on our team (like 22) won’t touch it with a 10 ft pole.
The other issue is just the morality of it. Do I know people that got rich on Bitcoin? Yes. Do I feel like they’re participating in a pyramid scheme still? Also yes. And with spicy autocorrect, where they got their training data for any and all of these models is so freaking morally bankrupt, and they’re desperate to paper over that and make it “ok” for businesses to use it.
Had to click through to change my downvote to an upvote, lol.
They need to get the fuck rid of that executive. Whoever has been running FF the last couple years has done a terrible job in picking directions for them to go, IMHO.
LOL, just another reason to avoid buying from Amazon, really.
Yeah, I’m still in AZ, thus my question, haha.
Ah, cool! Well AC pretty much solves my hesitations here in AZ, lol. But I know a lot of northern states still might want AWD as an option.
My two immediate concerns would be whether it comes with AC and is there an AWD option. Both of those could be deal breakers towards the borders. I guess they’re not absolute deal breakers (we bounced around AZ in a '71 Datsun pickup that had about the same specs as this a kid) but they certainly would be huge QOL improvements as options.
I think it will depend on if they have lots of USB power conveniently available. Like you could literally make your own stereo with two bluetooth speakers and a phone as long as there’s plenty of USB power and mounting points.
It exists because too many idiots turn it on, forget about it and then drive along for another 5 miles signalling a turn they’re never going to make and confusing everyone around them. Personally, I’d much rather someone signal for “too short” an amount of time than have this happen.
And I think on some cars I’ve had in the past, it was only 2 times even.
Oh no. Anyway…
The answer it’s, they’re neither thing right now. And the claim has been made that in order to run your own instance that forwarded all traffic generated by the primary instance, you would need equivalent hardware to what BlueSky currently has. Vs Mastdon, which is…
But unlike Google’s version, Claude can accidentally regurgitate the entire text or passages from it, yes?
So it’s not really internal and this judge is an imbecile, correct?
(I know that previous “AI” engines have been tricked into returning the original paintings and faces of people that they had ingested, so I assume this is also a possibility for this “AI” too.)
