Just make the screen one gargantuan pixel, and infer the other 2-million.

It probably only takes a staff on the order of a thousand people to make things go viral on the internet.

Depending on the site, maybe less than that.

It wasn’t all that long ago that Reddit had “power users” that was just a small handful of people/one person running an account that consistently made it viral on the site.

I have personally found generative-text LLMs quite good for creating titles. As an example, I have a few hundred tweets that I’m trying to put into a file, and I’ll use an LLM to create a human-readable name for them. It’s much better than a lot of the other summarisation mechanisms (like BERT) I’ve tried with it, but it’s still not perfect, because the model tends to output the same thing in slightly different words each time, so repeat runs will often result in the same thing with a different title.

But, that is also a fairly limited use case.

At the same time, the trouble with local LLMs is that they’re very resource heavy. Your average household computer isn’t going to be able to run one with much usability or speed.

The QWERTY-type keyboard is a dated relic, especially in the electronic era, where there aren’t physical mechanisms to jam because you pushed the buttons too quickly.

This is particularly applicable to touch screens, where the format is particularly ill-suited, and ought to be replaced by something more suitable and intuitive.

From memory those bio bits did actually make it into the later ships. The sovereign had them, for example.

The difference between the klingons in TOS and the TOS motion pictures, was that klingons always looked like that, and in DS9, according to Worf, it was due to some unspecified thing that is not discussed with non-Klingons.

But other than that, not really. The official position likely has not changed.

In fandom, it varies. Some people treat it as a cosmetic choice, and that Klingons underwent changes as necessary, and others might stick to the one interpretation of what klingons look like for all of them.

Personally, I’m of the Diaspora opinion, where the varieties of Klingon all coexist, where some of the changes are racial, like they are in humans, and others not.

For example, T’Kuvma house were Klingon supremacists, so it seems likely that some of their more exaggerated features were due to genetic modification on their part to try and enhance their Klingon attributes and remain Klingon.

But B’Elanna? She’s just like that.

They always were. Even when Spock was using them, he only used them when there was no other choice, and even then, there was no generally no small risk to both parties.

From Enterprise, mind melds are treated as something both sensitive and private. Things you do with someone you trust. That seems to have carried over in the intervening centuries, but you’re still not meant to meld with everything willy-nilly.

What is a “trustworthy software environment”?

Does that mean that it will get mad and fail you for having Developer options enabled? Having F-Droid installed? Having it plugged into a computer?

They did point out that they believed the food to be safe in the restaurant.

They might have thought everything was above board, but it turned out to not be the case.

If they somehow succeed, that’s how you know you’ve found a keeper.

Had the company paid for the training data and/or left it as voluntary, there would be less of a problem with it to begin with.

Part of the problem is that they didn’t, but are still using it for commercial purposes.

They could just get the normal salt, or no salt at all.

. (Actually, it’s worse than that. Ask me if you want to know. It’s its own rant.)

Mind enlightening us? It could be useful to compare against, for those of us who haven’t used those kinds of apps before.

Because people would go “That’s just 2001: A Space Odyssey”

Basically. DEI (Diversity, Ethics Equity, and Inclusion, IIRC?) is the new “woke”/SJW bogey.

Having an woman (with exposed skin, no less!) is causing all entertainment to be ruined forever, etc etc, that kind of thing.

EDIT: Equity, not ethics, whoops! Thanks for the correction.

Although a lot of paywall sites are smart enough to only load part of the text, or only load it with a “show more” button, which would also break if you disable JavaScript.

You also constantly shed skin, so any mould that tries to get a hold would have a difficult time staying on.

Video was nicer when you could buy a piece of physical media to watch your movie on.

Even then, you still had to contend with such nonsense as region locks later on. Can’t have people watch the movie earlier than release because the production company decided to delay release a while. That would be apocalyptic.

1. Naked wrestling…

That just sounds like a euphemism for sex, not an alternative.
