L7HM77@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•US states rethink a long-held practice of setting speed limits based on how fast drivers travelEnglish51·7 days agoThen there’s those spots where the speed limit is 25mph, but they throw a few “safety humps” in there, and you have to slow down below 10mph or you’ll throw out at axle. First time visitors always hit too hard, because they’re traveling at the speed limit, and the humps look gentle. Wonder what the city will do when someone loses control and hits a pedestrian while doing nothing wrong.
I see what you see, but I’m pretty sure its legit. I’ve recently discovered Android phones, at least the Pixel line, seem to run images through an upscaler.
I have photos that I’ve taken and archived off the device years before the whole AI thing started, and they carry artifacting that is indistinguishable to that found in a generated image.
I guess the training data has a lot of these types of artifacts, and that’s why it pops up in the images. If I ever have to prove something I have isn’t generated, I’m screwed.

Basically put ransomware on it. Would need someone high up the chain to bypass whatever software checks are in place to keep someone from sending bad firmware up.
But the satellite orbits will eventually destabilize. If the satellite manages its own orbit, it could live out the rest of its planned lifespan, but de-orbiting then would be uncontrolled. Shouldn’t cause too much risk, things happen already, but we try to set them down far away from civilization.
But if the satellite’s orbit is managed from a central ground system, which I would assume is the case because that’s the easiest way to reduce risk of collisions, then all the affected satellites would de-orbit at random in the upcoming months to years. Depending on how many are affected, could cause (probably) minor risk, but it would be in the news constantly for years, and the general public would probably lose favor of space operations, resulting in budget cuts and fewer satellites.
But IANARS, YMMV
Edit: oh cool, they’re just abandoning them, so we get the mass unplanned deorbit route
I remember it starting back on reddit in response to the whole “alpha” thing. The point was to goad the alphabros to ask “what’s sigma” then hit them with “sigma nuts.” They would get so pissed off, there was a whole subreddit for barbaric sigma memes mocking them and posting screenshots of sigma nuts.
Then they started taking it seriously, and the joke shifted to asking what they thought sigma meant, and the subreddit started posting screenshots of the insane replies.
Then, people started taking it TOO seriously, and everything went downhill.
Sigma nuts, haHAA

Buy Now, Pay Later schemes, projected at $117B this year, aren’t even counted.English5·27 days ago2010, vaguely remember a change in credit/debt reporting related to the crash. Found this while searching, rules changed in July 2010. In theory, actual debt didn’t change, but it shows how vastly accounting can shift numbers around. Is the data accurate now?
2020, consumer debt ‘only’ dropped by ~120 billion, supposedly ~3 trillion was distributed through stimulus, kinda lines up.

L7HM77@sh.itjust.worksto Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•Yes, salesperson. Please fondle my underwear before I buy it. And judge me for what I choose.English8·1 month agoThis is literally the underwear index. If people are opting to steal men’s underwear instead of purchase, we are in some deep, DEEP shit already.
It’s always fun being given a philosophic dilemma, at random, in public. AM I a terrorist? I collect my basic needs by inflicting karmic violence onto others, by acting on behalf of my employers. Attempting to limit my own karmic violence by withdrawing from the system of violence is treated as violence on its own, and is, or will be, reacted to with yet more violence. I am an unwilling participant in the cycle of violence that MUST eat, and MUST sleep, while the powers that be demand MORE violence, which is then passed down through me unto others again. If I try to reject the violence, or limit how much violence I must commit, then I will be forced to endure the violence personally.
Inflicting karmic violence is my only choice to continue existing, and every phase of violence before me, through me, and after me, is the result of a political environment that has eliminated any choice I might have had.
The poll needs a third answer, “Yes, but unwillingly.”

Really shows how deeply warped they are, projecting they’re own callous insanity onto the masses. What a small, sad existence.

L7HM77@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Workers striking by choice could lose unemployment benefits in blue states under GOP proposalEnglish4·1 month agoKinda upset that no one makes a big deal about connecting the rail strikes with the East Palestine incident. Like, the president interferes with a union negotiation, revokes their right to strike in order to “save Christmas,” then a major incident occurs three months later because the boss ordered the workers to ignore safety issues while transferring hazardous chemicals. To me, this seems like low hanging fruit to rile up voters and start pushing for change, but it all just… faded away.
If we pushed to fully automate everything that possibly can be automated, there wouldn’t be much work left. Jobs right now are just busywork.
The news drones on and on about labor shortages, but I’ve never seen a desperate employer. The trades say there’s shortages, but all the trades are flooded with apprentices, and then there’s pre-apprentices flooded in behind them. Office jobs have to sort through hundreds of applications for a single opening. Hell, even low wage jobs have huge labor pools ready to work, but the owners still find a way to nitpick. Things are horrifically upside down.
Topographically speaking, bowls, plates, forks, spoons, and knives are all spheres.

Half-joking. The technical data suggests there is a possible change in trend coming up. No guarantees. This is not trading advice.

Instead of the customer relying on the carrier or manually blocking spam numbers, if everyone picked up every spam call, goes through the automated system to reach a person, says “hello?”, then mutes the mic and lets the human stick around until they hang up.
Sure, they have robocallers that can hit 50,000 numbers a minute, but what happens when every single number answers and gets routed to the humans?
Was this… made with AI? I thought it was a signature above the last ellipses, but it looks like another word was half-generated, and some letters have the same generative effects around them.
