This is your second warning to not break our CoC (3.2).

A third warning will result in a temporary ban from programming.dev.

Remember that our CoC applies even on communities outside our instance. Try to avoid personal attacks and telling people to harm themselves per CoC 3.2 and 3.7. Continued failure to do so will lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

Just a reminder that our instance CoC applies even on communities outside our instance. Please try to avoid calling people slurs per CoC 3.2 and 3.5. Failure to do so may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

That should actually work great, in the absence of being part of the API, thanks! Funnily enough the copilot autocomplete suggested that when I was formatting the url param.

Please refrain from harassing our users, keep whatever argument you have contained to the thread it started. Following and harassing users across communities/instances is not tolerated.

You will only be given a temporary ban of one week from our instance, but if it continues after that it will changed to a permanent ban.

I didn’t mean to imply CD stores sounds files of worse quality, only that if you aren’t after the experience vinyl provides, digital files is a more convenient form of media.

Maybe I should have written a longer comment to elaborate on what I meant. What I meant to say is that if your primary concern is sound quality rather than the experience physical media gives you, I would assume a flac file would be a more popular option due to its convenience.

There’s way more to a game’s look than textures though. Arguably ray tracing will have a greater impact than textures. Not to mention, for retro games, you could just generate the textures beforehand, no need to do it in real time.

If you’re going for quality, you’d just buy the flac file though

Appreciate the offer, but we want to try to avoid another situation with reports not being seen by mods for weeks.

Added as moderator

Added as a moderator, we will likely add at least one more if there are more volunteers showing up.

programming.dev will migrate over to (lemmy compatible) Sublinks once it’s ready, which will feature a different set of mod features. For that reason we will need new moderators to have an active programming.dev account. If you’re willing keep an active user account on our instance let me know. We would prefer people we know will actively use their mod account to make sure reports are handled in a timely manner.

I’m pretty sure it’s generating racially diverse nazis due to companies tinkering with the prompts under the hood to counterweight biases in the training data. A naive implementation of generative AI wouldn’t output black or Asian nazis.

it doesn’t have EQ or sociological knowledge.

It sort of does (in a poor way), but they call it bias and tries to dampen it.

Photoshop (if it does?) and any other believable face swap apps use some sort of neural networks, which is exactly the problematic tech we are talking about.

Lower skill ceiling. One option can be done by pretty much anyone at a high volume output, the other would require a lot training and are not available for your average basement dweller.

Good luck trying to regulate it though, Pandora’s box is opened and you won’t be able to stop the FOSS community from working on the tech.

And if Google went nuclear and starts embedding the ad into the videos themselves?

I don’t believe for one bit that windows will move to a pure subscription based model. They are greedy, but not stupid.

What’s more believable is that the base OS will be the same as usual, but if you want fancy AI assistants in your OS, you must subscribe, with the justification being that MS must pay for the servers running the models you’re using.

if Valve isn’t selling at a loss to poorer regions then they are simply extracting additional profit from higher-income regions on the assumption that those customers can afford it.

Valve can’t sell for a loss the same way ebay can’t. Valve simply takes a percentage of the price everytime a game is bought, publishers are in complete control of the price they want to sell. Often, publishers will let Steam automatically set regional pricing based e.g. the American price though.

The way these publishers operate, they will simply set the price at the highest possible value to extract as much as money ad they can from those willing to spend 60+$. Those unwilling or incapable of spending that amount of money, will just buy the game later on a sale. Price skimming has only become more and more prevalent in PC gaming with steam being the “innovator” of frequent sales.
