What in the gender essentialist fuck? You cannot bar all men from jobs involving kids. You need a working with children check to run an extracurricular class, what are you smoking?

 

So the article only seems to raise these two cases, and it's not clear to me that either of these two people hurt any kids after appealing their check.

Is it just me or is this cooked? The right to appeal decisions seems fundamental to help reduce malfunctions or biases in a system. If the appeals process is too lax (doesn't seem like it?) then strength it sure but wtf is this move?

When you get to university take a couple of electives in philosophy, including philosophy of science.

Mate if you're trying to argue that the C suite and board of exxon should be hanging in a gibbet in the harbour I'm fucking here for it.

The greed of the wealthy is impossible to satiate and that is the source of all lack of essential resources in our modern age.

Actually good charitable causes shouldn't depend on the whims of the rich anyway. We should tax people and decide democratically what matters.

Produce studies saying to say it’s not harmful, or be quiet.

My dude, that is not how epistemology works. You cannot prove a negative empirically.

 

Fucking hell, 91 people in Australia deserve to be hung. Thieves on a monsterous scale.

Also lmao surgeons, always crying poor and saying they have no choice but to charge so much. Actually fuck yourself.

Produce studies and I swear to god if it's that one where they say kids are scroiling Instagram for 9 hours a day when the report using it as a messenging application I will reach through the screen and strangle you.

Legislation should not be based on vibes ffs. I think Mark Zuckerburg should be hung in a public square and skinned alive for the evil he has wrought with shit like aiding genocide but there is not sufficient evidence that social media, which covers everything from usenet to lemmy to Instagram to youtube, causes harms warranting age based bans. This is a world where we allow coca cola and factory farming, "it's probably bad for some people some of the time" is clearly not the bar for criminalisation.

Whole thing is a moral panic. No good evidence exists of harms, but nobody needs evidence to believe what they want to.

You could like ban algorithmic endless feeds if that was bad, you could enforce content moderation standards if bad content was the issue. But no, this is just surveillance state expansion and traditional media handwringing being cheerfully assisted by the feckless "think of the children" crowd.

If you need stuff printed I, or someone more local, would be more than happy to help. Otherwise all the knowledge and tools are available for free.

It's not "shackled" they are completely different technologies.

Imaging diagnosis assistance it something like computer vision -> feature extraction -> some sort of classifier

Don't be tricked by the magical marketing term AI. That's like assuming that a tick tac toe algorithm is the same thing as a spam filter because they're both "AI".

Also medical imaging stuff makes heaps of errors or extracts insane features like the style of machine used to image. They're getting better but image analysis is a relatively tractable problem.

Every single time I have tried to extract information from them in a field I know stuff about it has been wrong.

When the Australian government tried to use them for making summaries in every single case it was worse than the human summary and in many it was actively destructive.

Play around with your own local models if you like, but whatever you do DO NOT TRY TO LEARN FROM THEM they have no consideration towards truth. You will actively damage your understanding of the world and ability to reason.

Sorry, no shortcuts to wisdom.

God you're annoying. Everyone who disagrees with you must be an idiot huh?Fucking smug lib-arse shithead.

I'm not cheering Iran and if having nukes is justification for setting up hostile airbases inside territory and attacking civilians without declaring war again we're back to bombing London and Florida.

The design is based on the excellent Dactyl keyboard, generated with https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/ and it runs the excellent qmk firmware. It is handwired:

and I have also made a palm support using inkscape and openscad

All printed on a reprap prusa i3 derivative.

This helps me use my computer with less pain, so I want to call out all the wonderful projects and people who contribute to them which made it possible.

Total cost? $60 aud, amortised filament ~15 bucks worth maybe? and a lot of my time haha.

 

Yeah sure, lets allow companies to make highly attractive poison, advertise it using whatever tricks they can think up short of pornography, allow supermarkets to place this shit wherever they think people are most vulnerable and at eye level, allow sales and promotions promoting consumption.

Who could forsee that people would overindulge? What could be the solution? SIN TAXES

farque awffff. Can you imagine if we let companies poor waste into a river and taxed you if you swam in it? Fucking deranged proposal. This stupid political system that can't see a government as anything except a way of distributing financial penalties has absolutely cooked us.

 

Comrades, liberals, and the unaligned misers lend me your eyes.

Computer gaming is increasingly unaffordable, in Australia second hand previous gen GPUs are like a million billion dollars. Games increasingly look like dogshit due to stochastic rendering methods and reliance on advanced lighting methods that require rendering at high resolutions for good performance.

Games are also skyrocketing in price, along with dark patterns becoming ubiquitous. The age of making a good system for 1k aud once every 8 years or so is over. Consequently I am wondering about the economics of a seedbox + renting a high performance server and streaming video games to a cheap minipc that is connected to my TV.

Unfortunately in Australia compute is expensive as hell, and we are far away from places with cheap compute. To the point where light speed limitations means rtts of like 200-300 ms

I'm curious if anyone has experience in similar conditions, either combining a seedbox and high performance computer, or having both and spinning up the HPC when you want to waste some time.

How has it worked out? what genres work and what don't? has it been cost effective?

If this is stretching the limits of relating to piracy removal won't offend me. This seems the most relevant, but it is more into hardware and using pirated software (since shit is unaffordable) than piracy directly.
