While I'm glad they're drawing a line, they're only splitting hairs. Anthropic is already deeply working with the US gov.

You're spot-on. As some additional context, Anthropic is already working tightly with the US government. Until the recent announcement regarding Grok, Anthropic was the only approved AI for US government work, as it is/was the only one certified for safely woeking with classified data.

What are you doing, leaking the next Gray Leno guest like that?

Frieren: Journey's End

Definitely one of the best animes I've seen in years. Follows a near immortal elf retracing the steps of her previous journey to defeat the demon king, decades later.

For Notepad++, make sure you've installed the latest version using a download from the official website. Their automatic update feature got hijacked to package in malware within the past few months and the only way to shift to the newer secure update "source" is a reinstall from the site, as far as I'm aware.

7 is the usual state. 1 when things are tough. Monke

Had a relatively quick morning with my toddler on Monday, so decided I could afford to be 10 minutes late getting into work and had a special breakfast with her at a new little bakery/deli/breakfast-and-lunch spot that opened up nearby.

No idea if she'll remember it, but I know I cherish little moments like that from my childhood so I do what I can to make them for her.

One of the things I didn't really expect with having a kid is that even without going out of my way to make special memories there are small wonderful moments almost every day.

Here's hoping whatever they have next comes quick. They were up front about not wanting to stretch Smiling Friends out forever in previous interviews.

Maybe they'll talk some more about why they decided to pull the plug now on the let play youtube channel they have with their friends, oneyplays? Still wild that this old Newgrounds animator got the chance to make such a great show.

Kinda expected this, after DOGE. Still sucks.

Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but probably worth noting that it is a free to play game with what look like free to play phone game style "dlcs" for stuff like daily charge and the like.

You don't need a culinary degree to identify if your cake is burned, or if it was frosted with feces instead of actual frosting.

We're nowhere near that being a remotely valid concern.

Way off target man. If it helps, I'm not a blahaj user, and I am male. I'm not offended by the joke at the expense of delusional AI bros, or by your comment about blahaj users.

There's definite misandry out on the net, but I've not seen blahaj to be particularly strong in it. I also tend to block users early and often. Lemmy's small enough that it has a noticable effect on the quality of what I encounter.

If you like video game music, you already know this one. But this cover using real instruments is one of the best I've heard of this composition.

Man, I am so overdue for a CT replay. Just have to choose between my copy for DS or the "Plus" romhack.

 

The band has been described as doing metal/fuzz/stoner rock. This is from their album Black Hole Space Wizard Part 2. Part 1 and 2 make a complete story.

Humans escaping from a dying earth about to be devoured by the titular wizard, ship crashes with only one survivor. This track is the survivor trekking across a desert.

Will probably post a couple more from them.

 

Dankpods used 12 computers with different hardware to test the performance of 5 games in 1080p and 4K, comparing the average fps results of the games' built in benchmarks to determine which OS ran the game better across the same hardware: Windows or Bazzite.

Some notes on methodolgy under this spoiler

Each game uses the same in game graphics settings in Windows and in Linux. The Linux distro used was Bazzite, using the version specific for the graphics card hardware fpr each individual machine. To be clear, this means that he installed the Bazzite version for (legacy) nVidia as appropriate.

Each bazzite install was fresh, no copying installs or swapping around a drive with it pre-installed. After install, it was updated using system update and rebooted, repeated until no updates remained.

Screenshots of some of Dankpods's comments to this effect:

There are many comments under the youtube video pointing out that in many of the Linux runs, it was not actually using the correct driver, comments about the experience using other distros, and comments about various potential fixes and workarounds.

This misses the point. Dankpods intentionally tested this way, and used Bazzite, to try and show what this would be like for the average gamer schmuck without a ton of technical skill interested in switching to Linux. Out of box experience matters in this situation, even though it's not quite fair to compare that between free opens source distros and an OS created by a megacorp. To the average end user, it won't matter. They just want it to work.

Prepare to be upset. With this particular testing methodology, Linux doesn't really win overall.

I'm interested to hear the community's thoughts on this.

 

An absolute classic youtubepoop. Can't believe it's 17 years old.

Just about any line from this activates me like a sleeper agent. This is going to be stuck in my head for a month, at least.

Check the new pinned post in .ml's meme community. Here's the post itself:

There's so much goofiness to unpack here.


And a bonus, this small comment thread. We're totally not a marxist instance guys but we totally are a marxist instance guys and it's such a good thing:


I can't mentally square how someone could claim their instance is general use, run a general meme community, and also openly state the community purpose is to further specific ideology. Wow.

Nothing against surfacing lesser heard voices, but that's not the place for a generic meme comm (go make a leftymemes equivalent or something), and we all know that isn't what's really going on here.

 

Someone gifted this to my wife and I after our successful IVF. Still haven't put our photos in it, and everytime I see it I giggle.

Miracle Love Baby sounds like some magical girl anime shit.

 

Honestly? That's rookie numbers.
