Macadamia nuts taste like the inside of a drawer in a jewelry box you found in your deceased grandmother's closet. in c/unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

I don't get that.

To me they taste kinda... blandly oily/waxy. Not an offensive flavor but definitely not my favorite nut.

Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds in c/legalnews@lemmy.zip

How are they so bad at this?

Okay, here's what you want to Nintendo, feel free to take notes: You look at people who paid more because of the tariffs (and you'll know this because all Switch 2 systems phone home so you have that data) and you give them $50 in e-shop credit. There, problem done. Not only have you cultivated a shit ton of good will but a lot of games that people want to buy won't be completely covered by that $50, so many gamers will have to put more money into your e-shop.

Firmware update and hardware maintenance.

Keep in mind this statement is coming from Trump's CIA.

I'm honestly surprised that Trump even knows what Doom is.

At this point Reddit shitposts probably hold more sway in the government than Trumps gaggle of incompetents and grifters.

Wouldn't a madlib generator be superior to a Markov chain for "poisoning" LLMs? (lemmy.world)

So firstly sorry if this isn't a appropriate post for this community, but I had a shower thought a few days back.

LLM's have gotten sufficiently advanced that they can usually detect Markov (or randomly) generated text even when it's fed into the front end. As such, it seems likely that most "AI" companies either have or will have some sort of pre-screening pass to "clean" the raw data crawled from the internet. Heck, I'm sure they're filtering the data with a AI detection algorithm too.

However, there was this conspiracy parody site a while back called "Verified Facts". The sites down now and something that wanted to install a Firefox extension, so don't go there. Luckily there are many instances of pages still on archive.org to get an idea for what sort of stuff it generated. And I was thinking, this is some (mostly) grammatically correct, constantly on point drivel that would probably bypass both Markov and AI detectors.

So it seems like if you were going to make an "AI tar pit" you'd get much better results with one that tricks the AI into ingesting auto generated Madlib pages filled out with a list of randomly picked words.

So there's a new homebrew app for Streetpasses over the internet. (gbatemp.net)
 

Since there is no thread about this on Lemmy, I figured I may as well make one in case someone hadn't heard about it.

Anyway, a new app called Netpass has been released that allows Streetpass over the internet. The app is still kinda rough, a few games like Tomodachi Life have a minor bugs, but for the most part it works almost exactly like if you conventionally streetpassed someone.

What's up with all the $99 games with a 95+% discount on Steam? (lemmy.world)
 

So I was browsing SteamDB.info looking at the various games on sale when I noticed there were a bunch of games (usually from the publisher Hede, but there's quite a few others) listed as having a discount in the high nineties, yet still costing in the neighborhood of 30-50 dollars. Even odder when I go to the game's Steam, it's not listed as being on sale and costs the... "normal" price of $99.99.

I'm just wondering A) What the scam is here, B) How a SteamDB.info is getting $99.99 dollar game as costing 30-ish dollars when it's 97% off but at the same time it's apparently not actually on sale?
