Even without machine translation, stuff like that has been the bane of translating software for ages as they are almost always done with absolutely zero context whatsoever, just a list of words and strings.

Can’t see any reasons why that might be difficult.

~44% of women voted for Trump. Around 55% of men. So women hate themselves almost as much apparently.

For the consumer, obviously.
Patents exist to protect the profit of the inventor, specifically because once you have spent the RnD money to make something, someone else can take your finished idea and create your thing without having to cover those costs. Their entire point is to make sure stuff stays more expensive and exclusive for longer.

But the issue isn’t that patents or even software patents exist as a thing, they are important to protect against copying, it’s that seemingly almost anything no matter how simple, vague or universal it is can apply and get patented, and whoever owns those patents then doesn’t have to use or license them, instead they just sit on them waiting to strike with a lawsuit.

Like one of the Nintendo ones which is the genius and detailed idea of “you can capture objects and ride them in a virtual world using the controller input in a vidya gaym!” - a concept entire unique and one that hasn’t been ever used before in a game, now prohibited to be done by anyone else until 2041.

Ah, now when South Korea attacks the peaceful North, they can rest easy as the military might of Russia, the world’s strongest and most advanced military, swiftly rushes to the aid of the poor and ill-equipped North with countless troops, modern weapons, equipment and endless supply of ammo, and saves the day!

…what do you mean Russia is currently using North Korean equipment and troops as reinforcements after running low of their own…?

PLA is considered non-toxic by itself already.

And while the biodegradability/compostability is indeed rather circumstantial, the much more important part is that it’s a renewable, plant based plastic. Currently the most useful way to get rid of it is to incinerate it for energy, which ends up being rather carbon neutral as it just releases the carbon the plant material used for growing itself.

Exactly. You’d need 28.9km/s of Delta V to get something from the earth to the sun, because your starting velocity is the 107000km/h of the earth and you have to slow down that much.
Instead it takes only 2.9km/s to send Musk to mars and make him fullfil his promise of humans on mars by 2024 (well, he won’t arrive this year as the trip takes 8 months, but we could forgive him that)

What type of a spool holder you have in the dryer? It might be a good idea to get some bearings in there to help the spool spin as freely as possible.

That actually has a function. First is as a life sentence usually isn’t actually until you die, but you sit x years (usually 20-30) and then can apply for parole and might get it. Multiple sentences can be set to run one after the other, increasing that time - though usually in that case you just get “life without parole”.

Another is if you have committed multiple crimes. Even if later they overturn one of them because of new evidence etc, you still have the others left keeping you in prison, instead of having to bring it back to court to figure out if that part was or wasn’t enough to give you a life sentence instead of a shorter one.

Temu is a handy way of getting cheap AliExpress tat with combined shipping. Otherwise you can end up with 10 tiny packages you have to go get from the post office spread across two weeks.

I agree with all the EU claims though, the site is designed to mislead and hook people who can’t filter out all the predatory tactics it utilizes. There are no “deals” or scarcity, nor really any quality control.

Or just in the browser. Whatever app they are using is not following the same markdown as Lemmy, which supports only one level: 10^33^ = 10³³.

The datasets will have enough images of kids in bikinis and underwear from stock photos and clothes shop listings etc to figure that part out rather easily.

The way AI models work, you don’t have to train it on the thing you want it to do, you can ask it to combine the things it knows about. Take any of the meme loras for example, like pepe punch or patcha.

So literally any model that can generate pictures of naked adults and clothed children - which is to say almost all of them - is going to be at least somewhat competent in creating CP unless those prompts are being actively censored and blocked.

And your partner uploads those videos to TikTok? Because I’m not saying every video on the internet has to be a nine hour video essay that’s going be be watched by five devoted people, I’m saying that an alternative to TikTok, which is what we are discussing about here, can never work if you have to self-host those videos because the entire point of the platform is about making viral content.

Obviously self hosting for personal/limited use works, that’s how the internet worked for two decades before all of these platforms even existed. Before Youtube and Imgur and Twitter and Tumblr, I had a magazine subscription that came with a free email address and a hosting service with a whopping 50MB of storage, and that was plenty enough.

We are talking about a TikTok alternative. If getting as many people as possible to see your stuff isn’t your goal, then why would you post it in the first place?
Making your content go viral is pretty much literally the only point.

Self hosting isn’t really compatible with viral content, you do something that blows up and either get the hug of death or go bankrupt from the bandwidth costs.

Sheesh, you know your society has some rather deeply rooted issues when knowing someone’s name is enough to cause major problems like this. Not saying name discrimination is a rare thing, here in Finland it’s common knowledge having a Romani/Gypsy name makes finding a job a lot harder, but enough to cause major issues to the restaurant simply if your customers know the names of the employees?

Replaced by US manufacturers, using US workforce, paying them, in the US.

The only Tomb Raider I had as a kid. Took me a like decade to finally figure out why anyone would like Tomb Raider.

couldn’t non-chinese car companies just make better/more affordable EVs?

If we assume they actually were that affordable in reality, then the answer would be yes.
The accusation is that the Chinese government is financing and supporting their domestic EV manufacturers in an effort to artificially lower their prices to levels no other manufacturer could ever match in an effort to dominate the market and remove all competition - at which point they could increase their prices drastically and recover the “investment” as there would be no-one else left to compete.

If it’s true or not, I can’t say, I haven’t researched the subject enough. Those votes at least showcase that there is no clear consensus about it.

Bambu Lab was founded in 2020. Prusa, Creality and a whole bunch of other companies have been “violating” these patents long before Bambu even existed. Either this gets thrown out of court, or Stratasys will be able to sue quite literally every 3D printer manufacturer that exists for compensation.
