Tipping is not normal.

Tipping is an exception that follows exceptional service, and bringing plates to a table isn’t exceptional, it’s part of the job.

I get it that servers aren’t being paid enough to live, but look at your boss making bank with your work,.not at me, I’m not Social Security.

It’s been years now, and I still haven’t found the exit.

No sorry, we just lost old Tommy, and nobody knows if Violet survived last Friday night.

They fear the mob. We are many, they are few.

If those onlookers step out to the street and march along with them, they’ll shit their pants, because they’ve probably seen the footage, and they know what they did - and if that mob sees it, god help them.

TV ads are acceptable, they are strictly limited to -24 LUFS. Streaming media like YouTube enforces -14 LUFS.

That’s 10 decibels, it’s twice as loud.

And that’s just the hard cutoff.
While YouTube will bring down the volume automatically (say, if you upload something with -9 LUFS, it will bring it down to -14), it doesn’t scale up.
So maybe a conscious creator is uploading at -24, then BOOM ad at -14 and your ears start to bleed.

This law aims to fix that, by forcing the ads to be at the same volume of the content that’s playing, instead of just being able to blast at full volume.

Sure, in a world where the big boys have Death Stars.

You said so yourself, everyone has a ton of those.

Darrell is firing an ICBM at a place that is being hit with hypersonic hydrogen bombs all the time. Either he’s hitting rubble, or a damn impressive defense that he’s unlikely to break.

Exactly. If you go through 100 tickets and find 5 real vulnerabilities to patch, that sounds incredibly good…

Meh. When you’re expecting to have to defend against an army battalion, how much of a thread is Darrell the flat-earther and his AR-15?

Because if Darrell is doing damage, you’ve been conquered and didn’t even noticed.

Edit: in case you’re not following the thread and feel an urge in your loins to come defend Darrell, do note that I’m not disparaging the issues a dimwit with AI can cause. I’m pointing out that other players will have even larger sticks than your friend Darrell.

Case in point, Darrell will not have Claude Fable. Others will.

If 5% of the reports are genuine security vulnerabilities that they wouldn’t have found otherwise, that’s looking like a big win to me, not sure how you see it differently.

Yeah, but an LLM’s arms race isn’t “doing the bare minimum in security”, which is what the poster before was saying.

This is a genuine concern, where whoever has access to the best/most recent/most expensive models can unleash chaos - I’m talking state-sponsored attacks, mega-corp espionage, bored billionaires,…

We actually train dogs to catch mice, because cats are, as concluded in the study, dicks that will only do what they please.

Fuck that duck is me right now, and probably for the whole of 2 more days.

And nothing of value was lost that day.

Yep. This is how it goes downhill.

Some business analyst will make a pretty chart showing a massive revenue increase Vs some minor player attrition caused by the monthly subscription model, and the board will salivate at all those billions they’re gonna get.

Is that revenue necessary? Not at all. But capitalism says you must maximise profits regardless for the sake of it, and without an all powerful overlord to say otherwise, it will be a tragic downfall.

What is this h t m l you speak of? Is it like tsx?

That turd has been floating on the bowl for the last quarter of a century…

Dunno about bathing in blood, but fucking the infants? That’s the Epstein files…

You don’t have to reply back with the person’s name, unless it’s unclear who you’re addressing, which should be abundantly clear in an interaction like:

“Hey Devin!” “Hey, what’s up.”

Adding the “what’s up” is important though, or something to the same effect (“how are you”, …), because it helps support the conversation and keep it flowing.

Just mirroring the “Hey” can feel terse and unwelcoming, like you’re not interested in talking because you’re not providing the other person a “conversational path” they can follow up on.

As the conversation continues, usually both parts will be providing “paths” that the other can choose to take, according to their interests.

Back in 2015, the brothers pled guilty in Virginia to a scheme involving wire fraud and computers. Muneeb was sentenced to three years in prison, while Sohaib got two.

I’m not gonna say there were signs that these two weren’t the most law abiding of citizens to begin with, buuuuut…
