That’s actually a really clever use of Gaussian splats, though I’m not really sure what the practical use of it would be. You can probably create some really cool, interactive renders of shipwrecks and reefs and such, but I’m not immediately seeing the value beyond edutainment content.

Corridor does a really good breakdown of what Gaussian splats are here, for those interested. The explanation ends when the sponsor segment begins, for those who don’t want to watch the whole video.

As a Texan, it’s a relief to finally not be included on one of these lists for once.

Because they don’t have propellers?

I’ve read the post, and I’m still unhappy with their decision. Capitulation only accelerates fascism.

Implying there’s anything worth pirating on Netflix these days.

These ads will most definitely not be generated on-the-fly; too risky and too costly. They’ll be pre-generated and pre-approved AI-generated videos.

Imagine a collection of videos like that AI Coca Cola commercial (but for a soon-to-be-cancelled Netflix series instead of a soda), with a dozen different versions of it made for each “user archetype” Netflix identifies. That’s going to be how Netflix implements this.

Good on them for calling it out. But if they really want to send a message to Reddit, they need to shut down and move off-site.

It’s not an LLM, at least one of the accounts you’re referring to. The person you’re talking about has a fetish, and they like telling fake stories about unusually-sized non-sexual body parts. They have a few accounts on Reddit on 9gag where they do the same thing. There’s a few different versions of their disfigurement that they tell, but they’re all fake and by the same guy.

Stadia was amazing, and would likely still be around if not for Phil Harrison. I have fond memories of unloading my Whisper of the Worm into the Scourge of the Past raid boss with my Destiny 2 clan, from my phone, on the toilet.

If the writers named something directly it could leave them open for lawsuit if things go badly

So far, I don’t think the author is capable of writing something coherent enough to be considered libel.

Nintendo doesn’t explicitly state what it means by making your device “unusable.” However, there’s a strong chance this is merely Nintendo’s polite way of indicating that if a user breaches its user agreement policy, their Switch console could potentially be bricked (rendered inoperable) by Nintendo.

I like how the author’s speculation is used as the headline, as if it were confirmed fact. That’s super cool and useful and definitely not misleading at all.

Realistically, this sort of verbiage has existed on several consoles’ ToS in the past, and I’m pretty sure nothing has ever come of it before. Here’s the full term in question, which the author of this article couldn’t be bothered to include for the reader to easily scrutinize for themselves:

2. License

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Nintendo grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Nintendo Account Services solely for your personal and non-commercial use. For clarity, the Nintendo Account Services are licensed, not sold, to you, and you may not make use of the Nintendo Account Services except as expressly authorized by this Agreement.

Without limitation, you agree that you may not (a) publish, copy, modify, reverse engineer, lease, rent, decompile, disassemble, distribute, offer for sale, or create derivative works of any portion of the Nintendo Account Services; (b) bypass, modify, decrypt, defeat, tamper with, or otherwise circumvent any of the functions or protections of the Nintendo Account Services, including through the use of any hardware or software that would cause the Nintendo Account Services to operate other than in accordance with its documentation and intended use; © obtain, install or use any unauthorized copies of Nintendo Account Services; or (d) exploit the Nintendo Account Services in any manner other than to use them in accordance with the applicable documentation and intended use, in each case, without Nintendo’s written consent or express authorization, or unless otherwise expressly permitted by applicable law. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with the foregoing restrictions Nintendo may render the Nintendo Account Services and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.

As it’s written, it seems that the actions Nintendo would take are flexible, and would depend on what, specifically, you hacked. And I say “hacked”, because this is referring specifically to unauthorized access of Nintendo’s online services. This isn’t even talking about hacking your actual console, itself.

There’s really nothing out of the ordinary here, and I’m almost positive that the same terms existed on previous Nintendo consoles, just in different words.

It does a pretty poor job explaining itself, at all. Ironically, it probably would have behooved the author to have used an AI to proofread this.

The hype did not magic the jobs into existence. Because this was all part of marketing chatbots to the enterprise. They wanted companies to believe in the magic of chatbots.

This is a full paragraph from the article. What the fuck is this trying to say? Who is “they”? Literally no questions were answered by this article.

Same, I hardly ever look at my phone anymore during the day. I just glance at my notifications from my watch, if it’s not important I swipe it away and if it’s something I need to follow-up on I’ll just leave it for later. Then I go right back to whatever I was doing.

I get distracted a lot less these days, and my phone gets insane battery life now. My Pixel 6 is several years old now, but it still regularly gets 48+ hours of life because of how little wear I put on the battery.

Was.

Por que no los dos?

You and I are posting on the Fediverse right now (capital F). If I create two of my own personal Lemmy instances that only federate with each other, they’re not a part of the Fediverse. I’ve now created my own fediverse (lower-case F). The Fediverse is a fediverse, but not all fediverses are the Fediverse.

Same with internet and Internet. There is the main, collective Internet that we all know and use daily, but it’s one of many internets.

Nobody called you anything, dude. Are we having different conversations or something?

Are you talking about the hypothetical scenario you made up about the subject you don’t even understand? No wonder we’re going in circles.

I’m talking about the article.

Bruh. The task was to mislead. That’s what it did.
