  • Should I become "privacy-focused" despite my data before I was "privacy-focused" was used or sold?

    Jump

  • AI needs constant data to stay up to date, so i think it's still worth it.

    Personally I've found a happy medium between total privacy and convenience.

  • Unconditional cash transfers reduce homelessness

    Jump

  • Aren't studies like this part of how to solve homelessness, though? Like this method helps around 16%, then other methods can be used to help people who need more resources.

    Part of the frustration with dealing with homelessness is that it's so difficult to help the most visibly homeless, so people think the programs aren't working or are lining people's pockets.

  • Unconditional cash transfers reduce homelessness

    Jump

  • Our preregistered screening criteria were: age 19 to 65, homeless for less than 2 y (homelessness defined as the lack of stable housing), Canadian citizen or permanent resident, and nonsevere levels of substance use (DAST-10) (21), alcohol use (AUDIT) (22), and mental health symptoms Colorado Symptom Index (CSI) (23) based on predefined thresholds (see SI Appendix, Table S1 in SI Appendix, section 1.3.2). These screening criteria were used to reduce any potential risks of harm (e.g., overdose) from the cash transfer.

    Kind of speaks to how bad homelessness has become that you can have pretty strict criteria and still have a ton of people who need the help.

  • Why do people not hire experts?

    Jump

  • Some broad answers:

    1. Fee is higher than people are willing to pay
    2. People don't trust the experts
    3. The experts don't exist yet
    4. People have no idea how to find the experts

  • I highly recommend it!

    If you go and do the storyline, remember that you can read some of the stuff via qr code on your phone so you don't have to sit at the terminals to watch the videos.

  • Three found dead at remote Rocky Mountain campsite were trying to escape society, stepsister says

    Jump

  • Jara said she tried everything short of kidnapping to keep them from leaving, but nothing worked. Now, Jara wants to warn others about the risks of surviving in the wilderness.

    “I do not wish this on anybody at all,” Jara said. “I can’t wait to get to the point where I’m happy and all I can think of is the memories.”

    I feel so bad for the stepsister

  • Visual artists fight back against AI companies for repurposing their work

    Jump

  • The Guild’s core proposal is this: AI-generated material can't replace a human writer. AI-generated material cannot qualify as source material for adaptation in any way. AI-generated work can be used as research material, just as a Wikipedia article could, but because of the unclear nature of the sources that go into its output and how the output is generated, it has no place as an "author" in the world of copyright. AI outputs are not, in the Guild's opinion, copyrightable.

    That means that if a studio wants to use an AI-generated script, there can be no credited author and no copyright. In a world where studios jealously guard the rights to their work, that's a major poison pill.

    I think this would be a decent compromise. It feels like the core of the AI art fight is really who can make money off of it.

  • Visual artists fight back against AI companies for repurposing their work

    Jump

  • “My fear is that our industry will be diminished to such a point that very few of us can make a living,” Ortiz says, anticipating that artists will be tasked with simply editing AI-generated images, rather than creating.

    This feels very prescient. Maybe there will be laws passed to compensate artists for feeding their work to an AI, but there's no way companies will avoid using AI to do the heavy lifting.

  • How long have you had your current water bottle?

    Jump

  • I've got several ikea glass water bottles because i tend to forget where they are. They're pretty simply made (glass bottle, plastic cap, silicone ring) and therefore easy to clean.

    They've held up well for a few months now.

  • TRUTH TIME! How many of you have actually read a user manual of an operating system completely?

    Jump

  • No, because documentation should be more like a dictionary than a novel - it's written to convey info quickly and accurately, not interestingly. 😆

    Next time no need to add on apologetic stuff at the end of your post. People will engage with your post or not, it's the Internet, it's fine

  • When restaurants shut down, why isn't it more common for them to publish their recipes?

    Jump

  • Maybe they're preserving the option to try again with a new restaurant?

  • How many box cutters do you have squirreled around your house?

  • 2 that i return to their designated space after using. I think there's a third hiding somewhere

    Can somebody explain defederation in simple layman terms please?

    Jump

  • Everyone is part of the server they signed up with. Federation allows everyone to see each other's posts, filtered through your own server.

    If another server defederates yours, their users essentially can't see your (new) comments/posts. But you can see most of theirs.

    It is not necessarily a 2 way street. Continuing the example, your server can choose whether or not to defederate back. If it does defederate, you'll no longer see any new comments/posts from the other server.

    A much better, longer post about this can be seen here.

  • One of your shoes got untied: do you just tie up that shoe again or retie both shoes?

    Jump

  • I only re tie the loose one, I've never heard of anyone redoing both. But your logic is sound. 😆

  • Is this it? Is there anything more to life, am I missing something?

    Jump

  • Sounds like something medical? Like depression or sleep apnea as someone else mentioned. It's hard to enjoy life when you don't have the energy to engage with it.

    Please see a doctor!
