Well, Stable Diffusion 3 supposedly purposefully removed all porn from their training and negatively trained the model on porn and it apparently destroyed the model’s ability to generate proper anatomy.

Regardless, image generation models need some porn in training to at least know what porn is so that they know what porn is not.

It’s part of a process called regularization, or preventing any particular computational model from over-fitting.

For the people who are dunking on this by saying that historically things have been fucked up:

I think the point of the tweet is that systemic development doesn’t stop at capitalism.

I’m pretty sure lots of educated people during the feudal era were saying that it was the best system available and at least they were dying less often than the Romans.

Something can be Libre without it’s initial distribution being free (as in beer).

That’s how many distributions used to do it in the days when CDs and floppies etc weren’t exactly free.

I was definitely in the same camp of thinking (I mean Hindenburg etc, duh). But there’s been a bunch of studies where, because hydrogen basically immediately dissappates up and away, unless you’re in an extremely cramped area it’s much safer in collisions and unexpected containment breaches.

Even then, it actually poses less of a threat to life because it doesn’t create smoke or burn for awhile like gasoline does.

Hydrogen is more dangerous than gasoline if it leaks

I’d love to see a source on that.

This Report by the US department of energy says otherwise.

Again, the issue is this is an American company setting American content policy internationally.

Storefronts and brands can set up local branches and sell through those using the local digital payment provider without getting in trouble with their headquarter’d country. They can’t do that with a private entity that’s decided to set their global content policy to align with America’s.

Wed probably be in a similar place, but the advantage of a private entity being that it can bridge the already existing digital payments, so if a store big enough like steam had the option to, they could integrate with that country’s digital payments directly.

True to some degree if you’re an American, but this is Visa setting internal policy for American politics, and that reflecting globally.

Not every country has the same laws or politics that the US does.

You didn’t say “most” on your original post. You might want to edit it if that’s what you meant.

? You can get Hydrogen through simple water electrolysis. In fact you can do it at home. That’s like how 4% of all hydrogen is manufactured.

The reason there’s so few is because people don’t want to have to figure out beforehand whether or not they can use the payment provider they have at the store they want to go to.

I’ve seen this happen multiple times especially in Japan when the barcode payment craze started. There were like 13 competing payment providers and now there are 2. Because people don’t want to have to carry around 13 different types of card or payment types and have 13 different types of payments. They want one that works everywhere.

It’s why there needs to be sovereign digital payment systems that are legally enforced.

This is kind of misleading, China and Japan are kind of competing to see who can launch the new generation of 600km/hr maglev trains. Both have test tracks, both have clocked at 600km/hr, both have the actual lines under construction (Shanghai to Beijing, Tokyo to Nagoya).

Neither will likely run at 600km/hr, that’s mostly just dick waving.

Construction in Japan has slowed to a crawl and probably won’t be done until 2027 at least, and the Chinese CRRC is supposed to start this year but I don’t think they have any official service start dates.

Visa continues to set the world’s content moderation policies extra-judicially.

Go figure having all electronic payments be through private companies would have eventual consequences.

I thought Trump and the project 2025 gang’s entire goal was the devaluation of the dollar.

Find out who on your block can’t walk because you’re going to have to deal with that. Who has wheelchairs? Who has fire extinguishers? Where is the available water? Do you have batteries or generators? Start assessing the routes of escape. You’re going to have to inventory your community, and that’s really what we have to start doing now.

This feels even more disheartening combined with the news that subsequent generations get lonelier and lonelier. Are they even going to have the social ability to build local communities?

“it says here you clicked ‘sign me up for ISIS’ 10000 times?”

“Haha no officer, you see it was my social chaff AI that clicked it”

I don’t think chain of trust and security through kernel-level access are fighting the same problem.

Usually chain of trust is to prevent app tampering, and kernel-level access is to prevent memory tampering.

I assume Windows is creating a new API for applications to monitor certain regions of memory for tampering without needing kernel access.

In 2001 when The US authorized use of force on Al-Qaeda that, along with The 1973 war powers resolution gave the president (as in the position of president, not just Bush) unlimited ability to bomb anyone loosely associated with Al-Qaeda in perpetuity.

It’s what allowed Bush, then Obama, then Trump, and then Biden, and now Trump again, to use the military as they see fit for performing military operations against basically any state and group in the middle east.

This is sadly likely the least impeachable thing he’s done in office.

I’m no expert, but usually when missiles “go ballistic” their engines turn off and they have limited maneuvering capability at the end of their flight.

This one looks like it had engines on all the way to the target, which is a fairly newer class of design.
