Yes? Machine learning has been huge for protein folding and not because anyone is stupid, it’s because it’s a task uniquely suited for machine learning, of which there are many. But none of that is what this AI bubble is really about, and even though I find the underlining math and technology fascinating, I share the disdain for how the bulk of it is currently being used.

Wait so I should just be manually folding all these proteins?

Fun story about that. I was harvesting one of my first cannabis grows and one plant was too dense and definitely got moldy. I spent hours and hours going through the fresh flower with a scope and at one point thought I was going to have to throw everything out: there was mold everywhere!! Which was of course true, there is mold everywhere. I went a little crazy that day, but eventually chose an acceptable amount of fungus and moved on with my life. There was no issues drying and curing except in the one jar I put the black stuff just to see what would happen. It got gross.

I did windows 10 ltsc for a very long time but I dropped eventually because I was tired of having issues with my video card and random unexplained crashes with vague event viewer info they no one had find reliable fixes to. Mass grave seems super nifty though, saving that link, maybe I give 11 iot a try but I’m feeling pretty burnt

I love/hate their website. It reminds me of early 00 warez sites, but, as you say and testers report, it does a good job debloating and speeding things up. I’m so fed up with windows at this point I’m not sure a slimmed down and or privacy focused windows install will cut it. I’m this close to taking the dive and going to daily driving Linux.

I like the cut of this man’s jib.

That’s a weird way to spell spyware.

Bad for capitalism maybe, but potentially great for the environment

Yeah I can believe being a stupid drunk soldier getting a skull tattoo not knowing what it was. But then not making the first possible appointment to cover the fucking Nazi symbol as soon as you realized this? Nah. I hate this shit.

Okay, still a bad analogy as the fruit stand clearly states you free to take this fruit without payment and evaluate it, but if you want to eat more than a bite you have to pay us or throw it away.

Clearly you have a pedantic streak, but you’d be very hard pressed legally to find anyone saying you’ve broke the law by downloading an iso that is freely available online nor would any DMCA requests or the like be filled. Furthermore, casual downloaders who do not distribute or attempt to profit off of pirating windows are rarely if ever prosecuted.

Also, like what are you doing? Are you just trying to be right or is there some underlining principal I’m missing? Is it just piracy=illegal=bad?

Okay, so it’s not illegal to obtain the ISO as you said before, and you’re not breaking DRM, your breaking TOS. Yes, this is generally regarded as piracy and illegal, but downloading the ISO is not. Your analogy only works if the fruit stand has infinite fruit being cloned over and over again from the same original fruit automatically and costs the fruit stand practically nothing when you don’t pay.

We’re talking about Windows ltsc aren’t we? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/download-windows-11-iot-enterprise-ltsc-eval the ISO is freely available on Microsofts website.

I thought activation scripts were somewhat of a grey area legally?

I’ve been an anime of crunchy roll with those auto ai subs and the main character is called Kun. Holy shit half the time it’s censoring itself because it’s trying to say something racist, but not always…

It’s less that they invented plastic recycling and more that this is one of the first examples of corporate greenwashing and shifting the burden onto the public vs the corporations who made the problem.

I have not felt this way about Lemmy whereas I feel this way about YouTube comments and Reddit. Bots are indeed most of the internet content and traffic these days, but it doesn’t change the amount of real people and content on the Internet, just makes it harder to find.

They’re a cog in a broken machine that needs grease like every other one. It’s all just business speak for “why would we want to say something that would make the customer not pay us?”

You, good sir, ma’am or other, are a scholar and a gentle human.

There used to be some programs that ripped directly from Spotify API. Did those all go the way of the dinosaur?

Well, good. I hope it stays that way and I’ll be cautiously optimistic it’s actually a good thing. Thank you for the information.
