Oh yeah I’m not arguing with you on that. AI has become synonymous with LLM, and doing the most generic models possible, which means syphoning (well stealing actually) stupid amounts of data, and wasting a quantity of energy second only to cryptocurrencies.

Simpler models that are specialized in one domain instead do not cost as much, and are more reliable. Hell, spam filters have been partially based on some ML for years.

But all of that is irrelevant at the moment, because IA/ML is not one possible solution among other solutions that are not based on ML. Currently they are something that must be pushed as much as possible because it’s a bubble that gets investors, and I’m so waiting forward for it to burst.

No, what I’m saying is that if I had vision issues and had to use a screen reader to use my computer, if I had to choose between

• the person who did that website didn’t think about accessibility, so sucks to be you, you’re not gonna know what’s on those pictures
• there’s no alt, but your screen reader tries to describe the picture, you know it’s not perfect, but at least you probably know it’s not a dog.

I’d take the latter. Obviously the true solution would be to make sure everyone thinks about accessibility, but come on… Even here it’s not always the case and the fediverse is the place where I’ve seen the most focus on accessibility.

Another domain I’d see is preprocessing (a human will do the actual work) to make some tasks a bit easier or quicker and less repetitive.

AI and ML (and I’m not talking about LLM, but more about those techniques in general) have many actual uses, often when the need is “you have to make a decision quickly, and there’s a high tolerance for errors or imprecision”.

Your example is a perfect example: it’s not as good as a human-generated caption, it can lack context, or be wrong. But it’s better than the alternative of having nothing.

As a French? Yeah fuck France…

And there were some really great levels in the campaign, that was a fun game

I have the same issue, and I had to use a Mac for work, didn’t have a choice in that matter.

I didn’t know about AeroSpace though, sounds interesting. Currently I’m using Amethyst which provides tiling, but it’s not i3/sway-like, so not perfect.

You’re correct. In addition you could strafe using left/right C buttons, and you could look up/down using up/down C buttons, but that was awkward and not really designed to aim.

But we also must remember that those games had an auto lock system. Your character would actually target the ennemies by himself, you would only use the crosshair to dona headshot when you have time to aim, or to aim at a specific object in the game.

But yeah, that seems so clunky compared to what we have today

Yes, that’s exactly what they’re doing. If you have a Patreon, you must choose between increasing patreon price on Apple specifically compared to Android and Web, or you can keep the price the same, in which case you will earn less from users using iOS in-app purchase

Square wheels + overpriced in the game + literally a single storage space in the vehicle. That was a great shitpost from them

“Oi, you got a licence for that baby?”

It seemed to have been a bet that the left would be completely divided so that he could place his party as the defender against the far right in order to get an absolute majority (he only had a relative majority until now)

That didn’t work because the left parties managed to create a united front in less than a week.

But let’s not forget the following: yes, the left parties have a relative majority (or at least should given the last estimations), but the far right did gain a lot of seats in the elections compared to last time. So yeah it could have been worse, but it’s not exactly a comfortable situation either

That’s good, because otherwise your data might end in a blaze.

(Totally not speaking from experience)

Yeah I went back from Contabo tbh, as you said, I had several outages, the worst of which lasted several days with absolutely no information, nor response from the support. (My VPS had all the symptoms of a broken disk, which was extremely worrying)

That, plus the subscription fees, it’s not something I would advise today

Yeah, this is one of the seasons the Pirate party is pushing for a unique ballot, because the current format is really unfavorable towards small parties that don’t have the means to print the ballots among other things

Concerning your edit, not sure about other countries, but I can speak about the process in France.

We get (normally) ballots with the programs in the mail before the elections, so we can also bring ballots from there. Then the way it works when voting is

• there’s a table with ballots from all lists that provided them (so missing the ones we’re talking about here) and you can take any number of them
• then you go isolate in a cabin where you put the ballot you want, or nothing, inside an envelope
• finally your identity is verified, your vote is counted and you put your envelope in a transparent box

So there’s not really a way to definitely know you’re voting for an unlisted candidate here.

Agreed. Combined with a jellyfin instance and you will never want to come back. As said before, it takes a while to setup at first (especially if you download animes which aren’t exactly handled the same way), but when it’s done you’ll see you weekly episodes magically appear with nothing to do on your side, and that’s just great
