"This process is akin to how humans learn... The AI discards the original text, keeping only abstract representations..."

Now I sail the high seas myself, but I don't think Paramount Studios would buy anyone's defence they were only pirating their movies so they can learn the general content so they can produce their own knockoff.

Yes artists learn and inspire each other, but more often than not I'd imagine they consumed that art in an ethical way.

Huh. I did as well. Like /use/bin was for user installed applications and such. You learn something everyday.

Well the modern definition of a kg is based off of the second and the metre https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram :P

Am I wrong I thinking that the CO2 emission from plastics is missing the point a bit. The issue in my mind is that the plastics remain in nature for a very long time with unknown health risks to us and the ecosystem.

When comparing a plastic bag vs a paper bag for shopping I hear the argument that making the paper bag has a lot more co2 emissions tied to it. But if I throw it in the bin it will be mulch before the end of the month.

Yeah the issue is I wouldn't want to compromise quality too much. But I might just start saving up now for whatever valve is cooking up next :) Another issue with using a quest is that you have to run the occulus app (when wired), eating up some of that sweet precious VRAM.

I got a Quest 3 that I use with a USB-c cable. Price is great but having to fiddle around with video compression settings on top of all other VR settings has proven to be a bit tedious. I'm still trying to figure out what pcvr headset to go for that won't complete drain my bank account (there's probably tons of used ones out there).

Glad to hear VR is possible and getting better on Linux though!

Oh what's your Linux setup for VR? I thought it was very janky still? Once I get my storage server set up I was planing on moving fully to windows except for a small drive for VR titlea.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant :D

Please correct my layman understanding if I'm wring here. But isn't everything traveling in a straight line until an external force is applied. For example the earth orbiting the sun is traveling in a straight line in a curved apacetime. Also if you jump, the moment you leave the ground until you touch it again coming back down you were traveling in a straight line.

Evan Williams - I'll Stick Around.

I don't often think artists are criminally underrated, but man this guy is so good, with a painfully low number of listeners on Spotify.

I discovered him through the Hi Ren video. He is so fucking good.

Oh god, I really should have proof read that! Fixed now, hopefully it's a bit clearer.

 

But it seems to only do this in the home tab. Search and subscription tabs still show the view count.

Now I don't think view count is much of an indication of quality for a video, but the number of likes even less so. It varies quite a bit even on video to video from the same creator depending on if a like is called out for, or audience type.

Certainly not the most egregious change they've made, but a bit of an odd one I can't quite figure out why.
