Not FOSS, but Mahjong Soul is pretty well-made.

This man…
Pronouns, what?
My homie in Cthulhu, I guarantee you that trans folks are among the most ready to stand up for a group of people who’ve had their basic humanity denied by a vicious regime eager for a scapegoat.
About fuckin time.
I like Apple. Their UIs are comfortable, their OSes are reliable, their hardware is top-notch, and they design better SDKs than 99% of the world.
But their greed has completely eradicated the “damn the man” ethos that they espoused in the early iWork days. “Microsoft wants to lock you in. You gonna let them?” Well now who’s the jailer?
sales
Yeah, that’s not market share. iPhone users are more likely to keep their phone for longer. Search “iphone market share us” and see that every result confirms the >50% figure.
Same level of unemployment, but a ton of new employees. So… the same number of people are simply working more jobs? And this represents a “strong economy”…
If Books Could Kill had a brutal episode on this chucklehead: https://podtail.com/en/podcast/if-books-could-kill/rich-dad-poor-dad/
All he knows how to do is pedal-to-the-metal on scams. It’ll catch up with him eventually, but too late for all the people he’s hurt along the way.
In a perfect world, yes, I think AIs can and should be trained on real world content, but if those AIs still don’t understand the nuances of attribution, paraphrasing, and plagiarism, then that’s still a problem that needs to be addressed.
What a joke. Oh okay, if the LLMs output can annotate where the snippets came from, then it’s totally cool.
The fuck are we doing? We’re really sleepwalking into a future where a few companies are able to slurp up the entire history of human creative thought, crunch some statistics about it with the help of severely underpaid Kenyans, and put a paywall around it, and that’s totally legal.
Every time I see an “AI” (these are not fucking AI, and yet we’re fucking doomed already) apologist, I always think of Peter Gibbons explaining the “fractions of a penny” scheme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZjCQ3T5yXo
“It becomes ours”
Are we really this dumb? Maybe we deserve the dystopia we’re building.
SantaBlack lmao
Is that why he’s impossible to see?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility
Accessibility is the design of products, devices, services, vehicles, or environments so as to be usable by people with disabilities.
Assistive technology is the creation of a new device that assists a person in completing a task that would otherwise be impossible. Some examples include new computer software programs like screen readers, and inventions such as assistive listening devices, including hearing aids, and traffic lights with a standard color code that enables colorblind individuals to understand the correct signal.
Disabled people are likely to have had their attention piqued by Musk reiterating that, in the first instance, Neuralink would be looking to “solve important brain and spine problems.”
In fact, throughout the presentation, several chronic and life-limiting conditions were cited as being potentially treatable by Neuralink — ranging from blindness, spinal cord injuries, memory loss, brain damage and even depression.
The company’s first round of clinical trials will focus on patients with spinal cord injuries.

…Neuralink said, adding that its initial goal is to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone.
ETA:
I have no interest in defending the muskrat or his dystopian vision for this technology. I’m just a developer who gives half a shit about making accessible software, so I want people to know what that means.
I hadn’t really formed an opinion on this article specifically, but… If I had spinal damage? I might consider signing up for the monkey-killer chip too. A shot at getting my body back might be too enticing to resist.
I don’t think that word means what you think it means.
loose an afternoon
That’s alright. A chiropractor can tighten up that afternoon for ya.
How does your ISP have anything to do with port forwarding, or wired vs. wifi?
So judges are saying:
If you trained a model on a single copyrighted work, then that would be a copyright violation because it would inevitably produce output similar to that single work.
But if you train it on hundreds of thousands of copyrighted works, that’s no longer a copyright violation, because output won’t closely match any single work.
How is something a crime if you do it once, but not if you do it a million times?
It reminds me of the scheme from Office Space: https://youtu.be/yZjCQ3T5yXo
There will never be anything more illustrative of the limits of human intellect than the fact that a master logician famously argued that:
I ought to do XYZ because there may be an omnipotent being that rewards doing XYZ
…and did not immediately think:
I ought not to do XYZ because there may be an omnipotent being that punishes doing XYZ
Seize the means of computation.
Seems like it, lol. Her loss. Actual Mahjong is a good time. :D
