Do you have to be an asshole to other people? I read most of your comments here, and they are needlessly mean, and not humorous.
Are you having a tough week or something? It's okay to be struggling. Times are tough for many now.
Take care, stranger π
You are probably right, I am just not sure how to react to stuff like this anymore
This was a nazi salute, or at least a reference to it, you can obviously see it. However, and this is where it becomes slightly problematic...
Is it enough of a nazi salute to not work in their favor? We can easily compare Elons salute with a nazi one, just show it side by side with an actual one. But this one is obviously (you can see it on his face) meant to reference it, but it is not as explicit. The problem is that when it is called out, it is just another case of "the woke left screaming that everyone that disagrees with them is a nazi".
I have no idea how we should handle shit like this.
And another point, as a man a lot younger than say Salma Hayek. I'd happily be her young handsome piece of action. I would also get to be with an extremely attractive woman.
The same goes for these women and Leonardo Di Caprio. He is objectively an attractive man. It's also bragging rights. I was in a relarionship with x-celeb. Of course many women dream of being with him, and of course a lot of them are gorgeous.
I think they are both having a great time, and see no reason to judge.
I fully agree let's care about the things that actually matter and actually hurt people.
I'd call this a win and love. Being open to being wrong is a great quality.
I see some people here not recognizing that this is a great development, or enough or whatever. These things take time for society to adjust to. Going from being skeptical / negative to a full blown ally is unreasonable to expect from someone in a short timeframe.
Being open to change and different opinions is something we should always support. That path might be rocky and hard, sometimes almost impossible.
For the sake of diplomacy and making him even more supportive seriously consider getting that "second opinion", even though it might feel valueless for you. He just wants to make sure that you don't make a huge irreversible mistake.
Makeup, dressing in clothes and taking some hormones or whatever is one thing, irreversible surgery is another thing. So I kinda get where he is coming from, but you probably know what's best for you.
Anyways, good luck, and I wish you the best going forward, and am happy this is going in the right direction for you πβ€οΈ
So there is not any trustworthy benchmarks I can currently use to evaluate? That in combination with my personal anecdotes is how I have been evaluating them.
I was pretty impressed with Deepseek R1. I used their app, but not for anything sensitive.
I don't like that OpenAI defaults to a model I can't pick. I have to select it each time, even when I use a special URL it will change after the first request
I am having a hard time deciding which models to use besides a random mix between o3-mini-high, o1, Sonnet 3.5 and Gemini 2 Flash
Why do you say that? I have had no reason to doubt their reporting
I have been pretty impressed by Gemini 2.0 Flash.
Its slightly worse than the very best on the benchmarks I have seen, but is pretty much instant and incredibly cheap. Maybe a loss leader?
Anyways, which model of the commercial ones do you consider to be good?
Contacts gives you full field of vision, and they don't get dirty. If you are lucky you only have to take them off and on for switching once per month and can sleep with them. I am one of those, and can buy the cheapest contacts too.
In other words, always good vision, with full FOV
Me too. Not going to make something as simple as this difficult.
I want to leave, I leave. Giving others the opportunity to say goodbye is polite in my opinion. A wave to the group and a quick round of hugs if that makes sense.
At a minimum one should say goodbye to the host.
It's not about privacy.
But I can address that first. It's hard to argue that Kagi can be trusted with your data in my opinion, because they - unlike DDG and Startpage handles payments from you. So they know exactly who you are and what you search for. You have to trust them when they say they don't log. This in itself is enough for me not to use them.
Besides that the main problem is that Yandex is a Russian company. Russia is currently invading a democratic peaceful independent nation.
A lot of countries including my own are sanctioning Russia and Russian companies. I feel that indirectly supporting a Russian company is contributing to the Russian war economy. The sanctions are there for a reason, to hurt the Russian economy, so that they are pressured to stop the war.
Kagi has a choice and they have decided to stay on the wrong side of history. They have multiple explanations online, but none of them is sufficient in my opinion. Staying "apolitical" is a political choice when there is an agressor.
This thread, I haven't checked your profile. Why would you pretend to be an asshole? And why want to be one? There is enough assholes in the world as it is, please don't be one of them. It is a choice π
You are on Lemmy, we're supposed to make it a nice place, so that society can flourish and not be destroyed by big tech social media. There is enough challenges ahead already.
