It’s really a shame how popular it was to mar shows with this… I saw a DVD set of a show once with a no-laugh-track version. It sucked because the actors pause for the laughs after each line. This is bad enough with the laugh track in place, but if it’s just dead air it makes every scene feel awkward.

AI can remove those pauses by the actors too so maybe that would work.

I don't even mind awkward pauses. I tried using the laugh track silencer on an episode of Black Adder, and it worked out OK.

for 1), seems like you could do a proxy encryption solution.

edit: wrong way to phrase I think. What I mean to say is, have a message key to encrypt the body, but then rotate that when team membership changes, and "let them know" by updating a header that has the new message key encrypted using a key derived using each current member's public key.

> If people don't have an inner voice, it also must be the case the some people (these people?) don't have consciousness.

Don’t see how you got to that.

If something as (ostensibly) fundamental as an inner voice is "optional", chances are that consciousness is also optional.

The obvious error here is that an inner voice is not fundamental, and the fact that many people describe their consciousness in such different terms makes it much more likely that consciousness is just something that manifests in a variety of subjective experiences.

I’ve had some limited success attributing ideas to other people and asking it to help me assess the quality of the idea. Only limited success though. It’s still a fucking LLM.

The issue is not that it's an LLM, the issue is that it's been RLHFed to hell to be a sycophant.

I thought of spoilage as a mechanic that punishes overproduction.

It's a constraint to process item within limited time (regardless of overproduction or power outage). Matching with the problem description.

Surely the reality might be much more complex (like... the yield/quality drop by time function?)

Strong hashes aren’t so useful for you the individual with a high entropy per-site password… they’re useful for responsible organizations trying to proactively mitigate the impact of a future data breach on users with bad password habits (which is a lot of users).

If ClownCo gets hacked that’s bad. If ClownCo gets hacked and discloses millions of sets of credentials, it is now enabling a new wave of credential stuffing attacks.

I’m surprised to see a QBasic game with 1GHz CPU and 512MB RAM required! Is that because the game needs it, or because that’s what it takes to even run a modern OS with dosbox or something?

It's because it's not written in QBasic. It's written in a variant of QBasic called QB64 [1] - a spiritual successor to Microsoft's QBasic intended to run on modern 64-bit machines.

I went over the BAS source the last time this was posted a few weeks back and it has a lot of keywords that are specific to QB64 so unfortunately you can't run this on a true DOS machine (or DosBox).

Worked second time for me (on Mint)

The first time it barfed was because there was a space in the filename, and the QB64 editor didn't handle it. Running on the command line, with quotes around the name, was flawless.

However, it should be playable on Linux or OSX, both of which are (reportedly) supported by QB64.

I did give it a try, but no luck; qb64 seems to only run the code by compiling it via C++, and that failed on my system. (And I don't have the determination to try to find out why.)

The latter I assume. The game does load the text file into memory, so the old 640kb machines would probably struggle, but otherwise, it looks like it should run well enough on a 386 (or even a 286, where I wrote my first QBasic scripts, though they were nowhere nearly as polished)

At this point, I’m terrified some spacefaring AI is going to come over and relentlessly interface with whatever systems they can find while screaming “IF THIS BOT IS TROUBLING YOU PLEASE BLOCK ME AT THE PHYSICAL LEVEL” and self-replicating millions of clones.

I'm sad that I get this joke, but I'm sadder it sounds less and less like a joke every day.

Von Neumann spam.

Dedicated VLAN. Firewall rule forbids all outgoing connections from camera VLAN, even to other LAN, but allows inbound from designated devices on a privileged VLAN (this way random devices on my network can’t talk to the cameras). Frigate is on a VM that is so designated.

I used to hang out with my friends and neighbors outside all the time in Las Vegas.

...just not so much in May-August.
