Not really - it isn’t prediction, it is early detection. Interpretive AI (finding and interpreting patterns) is way ahead of generative AI.

It is a joke. OC said Bernie wasn’t stuck in the 50s, and I’m arguing that he’s still a 60s hippie. No sense of humor around here.

His mindset is stuck in the 60s, but whether or not that’s a good thing is a different debate.

Call me when you get past the “first step” where Reddit controlled NFTs somehow make communities independent from Reddit.

Those pesky facts have a liberal bias.

The irony that this story was posted by a bot…

Huh, don’t know what that was about. Edited.

Somebody might be getting a nasty AWS bill at the end of the month.

I’ve reported pictures/gifs of accidental nudity that were posted on Reddit without any evidence of consent, and they blew me off. Not just ignored me - they took the time to say the content was fine.

Yeah, it was legal to post stuff like that - no reasonable expectation of privacy in public places and all that. But it isn’t ethical. Don’t do it. It isn’t funny.

Lemmy won, because Lemmy users numbered in the hundreds before the fiasco. The software is now growing by leaps and bounds.

Reddit may have won the battle, but not the war, and certainly not without casualties.

Well, LED lights are half-wave rectifiers that light up, so you wouldn’t add one. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a half wave rectifier referred to as a bridge rectifier.

A bridge rectifier flips the negative current to positive, so instead of a sine wave you get a series of humps. Then a capacitor acts as a battery like you describe to smooth out the dip between humps.

That’s kind of my point - if he can turn something positive out of a no win situation, then he might have the charisma to stand up to the gop.

My LED burn outs were almost certainly defective, not normal wear.

Also, cheap ones run directly on AC, so they flicker at 60 Hz (50 in Europe) because the current is only flowing for half the cycle.

I’m not a big Newsom fan - I have a grudge against him for some of his decisions as governor- but if he pulls this off looking good, I will definitely be impressed.

The most amazing thing to me - I’ve been using leds for 10+ years, and I think I’ve had to replace one or two of them. It is a wonder that prices can come down with demand dwindling so much.

That’s my point. The AI isn’t an independent subject to be criticized, it is a cultural mirror.

The bias isn’t in the software, it is in the data. The stock photos of professional women that were fed in were white.

That doesn’t say anything about the AI, but rather the community that created those biases.
