This goes for most LLM things. The time it takes to get the word calculator to write a letter would have been easily used to just write the damn letter.
It's always funny to see how inept and childish those companies seem when regulatory bodies don't just stop pursuing them after their first haphazard attempt to circumvent the rules.
“If someone disturbs my Sci-fi daydreaming, they are 'terminally pessimistic' and it is justified to institutionally murder them”
I doubt your values would align with the society you dream of.
If Jellyfin would play nice with my APU, not clog the system every time it does a metadata update and the plugin for intro outro detection worked half as good as Plex does, I'd contemplate switching.
If I could say goodbye to Plexamp and it's awesome Sonic Analysis stuff that is.
Plex does a rather comprehensive analysis of audio (if you have Plex pass that is) and is then able to do some really cool stuff regarding playlists and such. One of those things is a mode where it keeps injecting songs that have the same vibe as the current song until you switch it off again at which point it'll just go on with the playlist. It dies that surprisingly well.
Works for local audio on a Plex server capable of doing the analysis (no ARM support ATM) and for Tidal.
Certainly worth a try IMHO. Especially since you can get a free trial for tidal, pay a month of Plex pass and try this for a month for 5 bucks or so. Since Plex pass offers a lifetime subscription, Its basically a one time purchase piece of software anyway.
Not remotely close. Plexamp dies have the same radio features Spotify has and they have their purpose, but those "Guest DJs" as Plexamp calls them are different.
First of all, song radios do very often just include roughly the same styles of the original song, mix them up a bit. This specific "guest DJ" holds the style almost exactly if at all possible with the songs you have access to.
Secondly, it is not a Radio. It injects itself into a running playlist (which can be generated by sonic analysis as well, different topic). So you'd have your regular playlist going, notice that the style of that one song that's playing right now is exactly what you want now, have it hold the style and when You're getting tired of it,.you switch it off and the regular playlist will continue.
Spotify would just play the same.few things over and over and over after a while for me. Especially since their algorithm will bend over backwards to only play 1-2 songs per album.
With the features of plexamp I regularly get songs I'd go "ouh, haven't heard that one in quite a while" about.
That might be only me though. I encourage everyone to try plexamp with tidal for one month (which is free on tidal, not for plexamp). The free version of plexamp lacks many of the features, sadly.
Oh, wow, do you come off as uninformed! Birth control for women has tons and tons of side effects, and it's in no way easier to prevent successful ovulation than it is to prevent fertile sperm production. In fact, birth control drugs for men have been repeatedly blocked by regulators for having too many side effects, while those side effects pretty closely mirror those of the pill for women. So, interfering with everything from blood pressure to appetite is acceptable when women are affected, but can't be burdened upon men?
Interrupting the ovulation cycle comes at great cost for the body. All the “non-hormonal” ways of birth control we have (except the condom) require either poisonous metals and foreign objects to be pushed inside the uterus, increasing the risk for cysts, causing pain, and regular checkups and painful procedures to be applied or fitted (diaphragm). Or toxins to be applied straight into a woman's private parts (spermicides). Calendar-based methods and “pulling out” have large margins of error, as have condoms.
Firstly: Disregarding the discomfort of having to see the doctor and having something shoved inside your body is a weird mistake, especially men tend to make regularly when talking about those things. Having your genitals exposed to and then painfully tampered with by what is ultimately a stranger isn't a thing most people would describe as a pleasant afternoon activity.
The side effects aren't just from hormones. Imagine having to do a prostate exam every 6 months and a metal plug shoved close to your prostate through your urethra every few years (not the same, of course, just an attempt at an analogy, since men are one hole short down there). Wouldn't you dislike that? Many women are really sensitive around their cervix and implanting the IUD can therefore be really painful.
Secondly: Period cramps increase in severity, bleeding increases for most people, and there are hints that those IUDs can increase the risk for cysts, which in turn cause issues, pain and sometimes need surgical removal.
yeah, not wanting 10 children is a matter of cost, of course. It's baffling to me how unreflected and naive opinions regarding reproduction still are...
A “numbers game”? Do you think there are little men in your balls, strangulating every sperm cell when it's formed? Or… do you think the pill works by somehow interfering with the ovum itself?
Because it doesn't. Quite the opposite. Just as male contraception methods don't try to kill sperm, but to shut down the factory. Besides: You cannot measure the difficulty or complexity of medical procedures by how many cells are affected. By that logic, brain surgery would be way easier to do than amputating a leg.
why is your experience the norm and what I say "pretty rare" not the other way around? Or do you consider "two women I know" a representative group? Are "two women I knew" more significant than what professionals will tell you?
Paragard side effects can include:
spotting between periods
irregular periods
heavier or longer periods
more or worse cramping during your periods
pain when your IUD is put in, and cramping or back aches for a few days after
The Hippocratic oath is not a thing in most countries and not applicable anyway. If it was, kidney transplants would be done without a doctor present (in the US that is, don't overestimate your little made up oath ritual internationally)
If you take the Hex-Code for pure white (FFFFFF) and add the D in the back ((FFFFFD), it will change from White to a slightly yellow tint, it'll go more yellow with every D you add. So... the queen had a point.
This thing looks cool even without a disability, TBH. I can't judge its usefulness for disabled people, of course, but I hope it'll be the tool they need to mitigate the issues life has cursed them with, at least for a little while during game sessions.
edit: why the duck am I getting down voted for that? If you disagree with me spending my money however the fuck I want (forma search engine for example), at least drop a sentence or two as to why...
Oh, dear… tell me that this is not about the audacity they had in daring to query the brave search API as one of many search engines!
The argument here is beyond petty in my eyes, downvoting and not engaging in a conversation is even more petty….
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time.
Wait; he was pissed that F5 wanted to treat something as a security issue where he “and the developers” (citation needed) wanted to treat it as a normal bug. So, the “evil corporate overlords” wanted to fix something via hotfix-release, while he wanted the fix to be shipped later with a regular release?
So the company wanted — just so I get this straight — to fix a thing sooner, and therefore they are evil. They wanted to provide something that benefited users sooner and… how exactly does that make them worthy of scorn? guys, help me out, what am I missing here?
Well, I think this points more towards the rise of LLM driven spell checkers like Grammarly than to the rise of fraud with LLMs, apart from the blatantly obvious examples that are more telling about the culture in countries like China. If they are so lazy that they just spam out u edited ChatGPT output, how many of their "findings" were just made up over the years before that? This is like stealing. Most people don't start stealing jewelry, they start by shoplifting and become more brazen and blatant by getting away with it. So: what did those."scientists" start out and get away with? How many studies are just lies over fabrications made up by propaganda bureaus and we didn't even notice? How many patients got treatments stemming from those fabrications? How many studies went nowhere because they based on something that was just made up? How many things go wrong because someone wanted to make China look cool and just made up "science"?"
