Just finished Death Stranding. It’s mostly great but somehow crashed a fair bit halfway through the game. No issues or whatsoever in early and late to end game.

I stand corrected. Thank you for educating me. I just assumed that previous NLP algorithms were not too far off from LLM in terms of capabilities, which is apparently not the case.

The “breakthrough” likely happened a long time ago, but as with all tech, it was only recently accessible to the general public. LLM alone isn’t even that sophisticated to begin with.

AI assistant will soon be an essential part of our lives. It will handle grocery shopping based on your dietary requirements, conduct basic diagnosis of your health, create personalized software, books, music, and movies on the fly for you, do your taxes and offer financial advices. All these are already happening.

Probably because most of us are sorting by top 6/12 hours since there isn’t enough content to keep us entertained every couple of hours if we sort by top day, which will obviously improve as we grow.

Hmmm I’ve never used Fen so I’m not sure if it works without premium services, but it sounds like RD isn’t working. Did you check if the files that are showing are from RD? It’s highly unlikely that the latest John Wick only comes in 4K. I recommend trying Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid, the UI is just so much better and addons a lot easier to install than Kodi. Also I’m using my old laptop instead of Android boxes. It’s a lot faster plus it circumvents the issue of sharing Netflix with someone not from the same household.

Optical illusion is most likely the reason instead of engine brake if your vehicle slows down significantly in certain areas and doesn’t on other downhills with “similar” angle.

There is this slope near a waterfall around where I live. If you put your car in neutral gear at the bottom of the slope, it rolls “up” the hill. We named it magnetic hill back in high school, but I later found out that it is just an optical illusion that happens everywhere around the world. Basically some uphills look like downhills and vice versa. Google “gravity hill”.

Aussie here. They have the right to go through all your devices if they suspect you of smuggling or working or wanting to work illegally in Australia. They will read through all your private messages and have them translated if not in English. Even then I’ve never heard of airport security giving a rat’s ass about pirated stuff.

Does that mean that all the posts and comments from said instance prior to defederation will still be visible in the home instance?

Damn I didn’t know that. That explains why the numbers look weird. Are there any ways to see the actual numbers?

Gotcha. It’s not compulsory anyway.

Which VPN were you using if you don’t mind me asking? A free one or one that throttles or blocks torrenting may explain the horrible speed.

Congrats! If you’re someone like me who owns a decent PC but no longer enjoys sitting in front of one, definitely get yourself a dock so you can hook it up to your TV. They cost around $30 and is a great investment. Just remember to take the casing off (if you use one) if you’re planning to have your games running at anything between 1080p to 4K, and use FSR to reduce the load. I find the Deck heats up a fair bit even in winter.

Owning a Steam Deck really got me back into gaming. I carry it to work to play during breaks and hook it back up to my TV when I get home.

“But what do you really want to do with your life?” is a question that comes up a lot in our lives. I’ve spent a chunk of my life trying to find the answer before realizing that what I want to do or think I should be doing is inconsequential. The important question is how you want to feel. You could patent the whole universe and be the richest person on earth and still feel like a failure or an imposter. That’s why rich and famous celebrities kill themselves – despite achieving what everyone desires, the promised happiness remains elusive, if not even more distant.

As time marches on, you’ll find yourself remembering lesser and lesser of what you did with so and so, but you’ll always remember how they make you feel.

How you feel has to do with your attitude in life. You can feel happy and contented right here and right now, without changing anything externally. Live every moment as if it’s your last, then you’ll always know what’s important in life.

I was mainly torrenting before Netflix but ever since NF has gone to hell I’ve been on the lookout for a more family-friendly way to stream. After trying out a few options (Kodi, fmovies, Stremio etc) I’ve found that nothing beats the Stremio+Torrentio+Real Debrid method. You do have to pay subscription for Real Debrid but it’s really cheap and not compulsory.

I find people in general are much more willing to part with their money than the big corps think. I’ll even go to the extent to say that we enjoy doing so. Just look at Twitch – tonnes of money are thrown at streamers because it’s fun and convenient, or at TikTok vendors selling useless stuff on live streaming. We just don’t like to be lied to and treated like cash cows.

Have to get her to stop whinging about Kodi haha. Ditched the shitty Android box and setup my spare laptop as a dedicated streaming machine. It’s now much faster and smoother.

Yep all done and it’s kicking ass! She’s really happy with the setup.

Just did what you suggested and jeez… Stremio’s UI is way better than Kodi. Addons are so much easier to install too. Torrentia+RD definitely appears to have all bases covered too. Thank you so much for that.

they don’t miss Netflix anymore.

That’s the experience I’m trying to create for my partner. I’m very comfortable with torrenting but she wouldn’t have a clue on how to do it (safely). As long it streams and doesn’t require her to actually go through the torrent client it’ll be fine.

Thank you all for the suggestions. It’s really starting to feel at home here on Lemmy!

I was on Boost and finally deleted it about a week ago. Couldn’t understand why they were still updating their app and pushing for users to rate them on PlayStore.
