It's okay - just as long as it's not a slightly larger pack of toothpaste, or god forbid some water. Luckily those get caught, so we're still safe.

So they filled reddit with bot generated content, and now they're selling back the same stuff likely to the company who generated most of it.

At what point can we call an AI inbred?

Yeah the YouTube algorithm is one of the worst recommendations engines I have seen tbh. It actively removes types of videos I repeatedly search for from my recommendations, and fills it with garbage I never watch.

But in the case of op it looks like a 100% horny content ratio which seems excessive, even for yt.

[-] myliltoehurts@lemm.ee 39 points 1 month ago

Mine isn't like that but there can be a few reasons I'd guess at:

  1. YouTube recommends you things other people in your household watch (which can extend to random people if your isp uses cnat and doesn't give you an individual ip).
  2. This one is more of a guess, but I'd assume a lot of people would click on that content, so if you never watch shorts maybe their algorithm just gives you the default recommendations.
  3. If you watch adult content without protecting your privacy it's most likely associated with your account in their recommendations.

I've started seeing private health insurance on job adverts as a benefit more and more as well recently.. Which feels alarmingly US-like as well.

I have already forgotten about the copilot key thing and had to search it as from the article it was being mentioned together with requiring an NPU, so I was worried it was something like the CPUs having to include some copilot license key shit.. It's just the new key on the keyboard if anyone else forgot about it too.

Agree that it's misleading, but to add there is another significant concern given how glassdoor is already "pay to win" from the companies perspective: they could just offer identifying the users as a paid service.

It would be digging their own grave if that starts happening, but that doesn't seem to be stopping many companies..

Haven't had any experience with eweka, but this is the reason why people tend to have multiple providers from different backbones and multiple indexers - to increase your chance for completion. Weirdly, eweka does not follow DMCA, but NTD which I've seen regarded as slower to take down content, so in theory the experience should be better, especially on fresh content.

Your mileage will vary greatly depending on what indexers/providers you pick and unfortunately it's very difficult to say whether it will reach your expectations until you try different options.

If you're willing to spend some more on it, you could try just looking for a small and cheap block account from a different backbone to see if it helps with the missing articles, but there are no guarantees.

Maybe it's me but the tone of the article reads to me like "the issue is solar pumps, they're depleting groundwater reserves" whereas the point seems to be more that pumping groundwater is ungoverned and access to it is now easier than ever, thanks to solar powered pumps.

Unfortunately, doesn't change that the issue exists.

Personally, I've had an experienced manager and took great inspiration from him.

A few things I fell into:

  • it was a lot faster for me (I.e. experienced senior dev with context knowledge) to finish a task than for me to assign it to someone less experienced who has to learn the context and takes 5x as long to do it, with lots of help needed from me still. This yielded me not building up my team either in experience or knowledge.
  • I assumed deadlines I got told were set in stone and my job was to meet them. This made business-y people happy. It made everyone else (including me) miserable. I had to learn to say no and push back, it very much changes between companies but most of the time I found it to be a negotiation and either the deadline could move or I had to argue to exclude things from the scope to make the deadline reasonable.
  • on the above, everything takes at least 3-5x as long as I think it takes. If things finish early, great time to give my team some slack, add in additional QA work like extending tests or repay some tech debt. Delivering something early gives a pat on the back for us but no discernible benefit to the team.
  • every time someone said "you'll have time to write tests/repay tech debt/upskill later once X is shipped" it never came true. Those things have to be built into delivery scopes, and it's a constant battle - if you don't do this, nobody else will.

I'm sure there were other things too, but these are the ones I mainly recall. Talk to your team, ask for feedback. Every team, project and company are different - you'll have to adapt.

I currently have a very comfortable lil home server with the arrs and plex (would like jellyfin but it's not there yet for me, currently fielding emby given how Plex is going), basically all sources are usenet.

I'm nearing a point where I either have to delete some stuff or expand space, which is not cheap, and some of my older drives are likely due for some failures too. So after seeing the popularity of debrid I've been wondering if it'd be worth to instead spend the money on it, but would like to ask some questions. I spend maybe around $70/year on the various bits for Usenet and I expect I'd have to spend around an average of $80/year on drives for just expanding storage (obviously assuming I don't just delete stuff). And that's with avoiding 4k just for storage reasons (my internet could take the streaming tho)

Even just the price of Usenet seems to be more than the price of a debrid subscription though and from what I understand I'd not need new disks with it either.

From what I understand debrid is a shared download space for Torrents/direct downloads where if someone adds something it's available for everyone (presumably it gets deleted if noone accessed it for some time and would have to be re-downloaded?). It's possible to mount the content via WebDAV to make it accessible to clients/media servers to stream directly from debrid.

My questions are..

  1. Is there still a point to sonarr/radarr with debrid?
  2. How is the quality? (both in terms of media quality and in terms of file organisation so things are discoverable and accurate, e.g. chances of things explicitly named wrong so you think you're about to watch Brooklyn 99 and instead get porn)
  3. I would likely go the path of using zurg and keeping with Plex/emby - any experience with how well does this work (any recommendations for or against)? What's the mechanism for picking what is available in the mounts to the media server.. or is it just.. everything on debrid?
  4. I don't really use any torrents at the moment, from what I understand that's primarily how you get things on debrid. Would I have to start looking for good trackers to get content or is there no need because chances are someone will have downloaded/shared most things?
  5. I guess, am I assuming this works very differently to how it actually does? Any experience from people who did the swap from Usenet/arrs to some debrid + media server?

Many questions in a wall of text, I'd be grateful for any answers to any of them! Thanks!

It's not nice to snoop but it sounds like you have given her plenty of trust and she has only given you reason to be suspicious/jealous, so I don't think you're at fault - it's also on Reddit publicly, not the same as reading her DMs. It doesn't make it fine, but I think it makes it somewhat less intrusive.

That being said, if you've been dating for almost 3 years and it's not progressing despite you wanting it to and talking to her about it, I'd say it probably doesn't matter if you slipped up or she did as it seems like things are dead in the water.

My advice would be to try to move on and find someone who wants to progress things with you, rather than their ex.

OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who reportedly led the push to remove Altman, noted on X (formerly Twitter) that he had some regrets about the weekend of chaos inside OpenAI. “I deeply regret my participation in the board’s actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI,” said Sutskever. “I love everything we’ve built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company.” Bizarrely, Sutskever’s name is on the list of resignations, too.

"I'll do anything to reunite the company... in Microsoft."
