8·9 months agoYeah, that’s why I brought it up, Meta is kind of a shit company.
No, mostly just regular posts, meta just decided that being trans is “political”.
I have seen trans creators in IG reporting that they are being filtered by this setting, so that’s not great.

It’s a great book if you can get past that to the first line of the book.
“We are all susceptible to the pull of viral ideas. Like mass hysteria. Or a tune that gets into your head that you keep humming all day until you spread it to someone else. Jokes. Urban legends. Crackpot religions. Marxism. No matter how smart we get, there is always this deep irrational part that makes us potential hosts for self-replicating information.” ― Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash
1·9 months agoEpic Games also takes 5% of all games that use the Unreal engine, unless you use the Epic store.
they explicitly do give out keys for resale. Steam Keys are a free service we provide to developers as a convenient tool to help you sell your game on other stores and at retail
they say on the platform that exploded because Reddit decided to Spez.
Also developers can generate a unlimited number of Steam keys for their games that they can sell on other platforms and steam doesn’t take any money for. So you can make MyCoolGame throw it on Steam then sell copies of your game on MyCoolGame.com give your customers Steam keys and keep the whole price while still benefiting from Valve’s infrastructure to support downloads, friend lists, updates ect.

Yes very human readable. All the “benefits” blockchain are in a properly managed database, but the database takes about the power of 3 or 4 lightbulbs to manage, the Blockchain takes as much power as Ireland.
AGI Artificial General Intelligence doesn’t exist that is what people think of in sci-fi like Data or Hal. LLM or Large Language Models like CHAT GPT are the hallucinating chat bots, they are just more convincing than the previous generations. There are lots of other AI models that have been used for years to solve large data problems.
NFTs aren’t the solution to this, public read access to the database is.
A LLM is terrible for molecular analysis, AI can be used but not LLM.
huh, I missed that one, I was looking for live rounds, there are a few other instances involving blanks or prop guns:
The Girl of the Golden West (1915). Actor House Peters Sr. suffered serious burns to his face and hands when a prop pistol exploded upon being fired.
The General (1926). During filming of the epic comedy in Oregon, there were a number of incidents. Several National Guardsmen, employed as extras for the Civil War battle scenes, were injured by mishaps caused by misfired muskets or explosions. Director and star Buster Keaton was knocked unconscious when he stood too close to a cannon firing. Assistant director Harry Barnes was accidentally hit in the face by a blank charge. Train brakeman Fred Lowry sued the production for US$2,900 after his foot was crushed when it was run over by a locomotive wheel during filming of one of the railway scenes
Die Hard (1988). Bruce Willis lost two-thirds of his hearing in his left ear after firing a gun loaded with extra-loud blanks from underneath a table.
there was also:
My Life for Ireland (1941). An anti-British propaganda film made by Nazi Germany. During the epic final-battle scene set during the Irish Civil War, several extras were killed when one of them stepped on a live land mine. The footage is said to have been included in the release prints, although no proof of this has been established
but that’s more of a where did you get a live land mine issue.
Not the guillotine news I was expecting in 2024, but I’ll take it.
A good armorer uses a mix of these techniques, and it usually isn’t a problem there have only been 3
gun injurieslive ammo shootings:-The Captive (1915). -The Crow (1994). -Rust (TBA).

The UN’s purpose is
“To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;”- United Nations Charter, Chapter I: Article 1: Section 1
the other sections reference international friendship and equal rights, but section 1 is the meat f why it exists, the UN was created after two World Wars, it’s primary goal is to prevent a third and has so far been overwhelmingly successful.
