Yeah 3.5 was pretty ass w bugs but could write basic code. 4o helped me sometimes with bugs and was definitely better, but would get caught in loops sometimes. This new o1 preview model seems pretty cracked all around though lol

I understand the sentiment against the kernel based anti cheat, but as someone who’s played a lot of Counterstrike the top level, cheating essentially ruins the native game and forces you to use 3rd party matchmaking systems (Pre verified era)

I appreciate Riot for implementing Vanguard into Valorant, I don’t play a lot but it seems in a far better position because of the ability to control native matchmaking.

I’m also hoping the introduction to league leads to Smurf reduction which is primarily the biggest problem with their native matchmaking system.

Realistically this graph wouldn’t include Snapchat, as it’s less of a “social media” than the others. Most people nowadays use it strictly as a messaging platform.

Right now the US military and NASA is in agreement that UAPs exist, there’s thousands of citizens interested in UAPs/NHI, yet not a single scientist in the past 75 years wanted to find the answer to what these UAPs are?

Science in itself is debunking trivial bullshit until you find a rock solid solution and right now we don’t have a solution.

Ofc they do but they’re compartmentalized as hell.

Why do you think Bill Nelson himself is a career politician, not a scientist? These are political figures in these positions, not scientists.

Unfortunately NASA is not being transparent here. They created a UAP task force and would not reveal who was heading it and when it is released it turns out to be someone who’s spent his career with the DOD/Defense contractors. Not a scientist. Why are we not letting scientists handle this matter?

NASA also says they want to work to destigmatize UAPs and NHI, yet Bill Nelson slanders Grusch (highly decorated US military serviceman) and speaks down on anyone promoting more transparency here. The minimization of Grusch’s testimony all while the DOD is withholding Grusch’s security clearance and essentially stonewalling congress. Lots of reasons enough for us to be suspicious of foul play behind government figures here.

I think the problem with IPFS is it’s terribly inefficient with large and or dynamic data storages, the exact problem bittorent tackles(large not dynamic).

IPFS does seem to provide great p2p functionality for small static files though, albeit pretty slow.

Both Prey & Bullet train I was expecting average action movies, and both ended up being some of my favourite movies last year with great rewatchability.

I recently hired into a data analytics team

I work in Data Engineering and have spent most my time on analytics teams. They don’t have a SWE/CS background and generally because of that don’t follow any good programming practices. In my experience style guides are hard to get them to follow properly even if you set up SQLFluff for them., I can barely make them see the advantage of not committing directly to main (at least we’re using git). It’s very frustrating.

Also tagging onto this if there is a possibility of UFOs our defense radar systems are the only ones that would pick them up besides China’s.

I’ve had an account for almost 10 years that I use at least every other day at work, and have seen plenty of questions I CAN answer but apparently don’t have the “reputation” to.

Honestly a really dumb system imo.

Definitely true, totally forgot about breaking events in my original comment. I would say it still lands in bucket B as it’s algorithmically fed at least in my experience as I don’t follow many news sources directly, it just finds its way into my feed via the algorithm.

when people are going to Mastodon with breaking news is when we’ll know twitter is completely dead.

Absolutely great point

Ironically the two are only half way competing with each other. There’s two buckets of twitter peeps:

A) People who keep up with specific people, reducing day by day.

B) The for you page peeps. The vast majority of people I know on Twitter including myself are there for the algorithm feeding us memes and content. Specifically the 2016-2021 algorithm.

Considering mastodon doesn’t have any form of FYP/For you it’s really only competing for bucket A which in my experience has reduced by an incredible amount in the past few years and continues to reduce and makes it useless to a large majority of twitter users.

Unfortunately or fortunately twitters algorithm also sucks now so there’s a pretty big market gap here.

This is exactly what Kbin is intended for, it essentially bridges both platforms, I’d suggest you check that out as well.

Tagging onto this: Does anyone know of the easiest way to backfill Immich with photos from Google photos all at once besides manually downloading them from the Photos site?

Someone somewhere has to host the image. Realistically it should be the same people hosting the instance so you don’t run into cases where historical posts have all their images dropped. In an absolute ideal world everyone selfhosts their own images, but that’s an absolute fantasy.

I see this take a lot across forum based socials like reddit/Lemmy etc, but honestly since I’ve started using it in 2021 it’s by far the most advanced algorithm at feeding me solid reoccurring and new content I actually want to see.

I also just bought one 2 days ago 🙃🤦‍♂️
