Right. Which is why Cloudflared would block you if it’s detected. But regardless, if for whatever reason, you ended up in court for the content you copied, the judge would probably give you a low fine. Obviously not legal advice, but the US justice system doesn’t have time to care about people making digital copies of DVDs they’ve purchased.

It’s irrelevant anyway, since none of us are just copying our own DVDs… But for legal reasons /s

They have to be. They have to at least somewhat comply with laws to avoid lawsuits and fines

Also not as ideal if their ISP uses CGNAT. Still waaay better than fully open, but you would be giving access to many households

Gotta be careful with cloudflared and media. They can block you if they detect copyrighted materials, even if it’s your own DVDs. You can setup TLS certs so the traffic is at least encrypted

I was using VLC, but after they converted their cost into a subscription platform of $0 a month I had to move. Was going to use Jellyfin, but now this… Guess I’m gonna have to start putting all my media on film

“Jellyfin Premium+ One Super Unlimited (with Ads)” will increase to $0.00 USD*

Does this look like a joke to you? Jellyfin and their typical price hikes. They’ll probably cut the pay of their volunteers next, if I had to guess.

This would be used on your phone, for all of the advantages that may come with. From customization, battery life, portability, bigger screen, screen quality, or whatever else. It’s a device you are going to have with you anyway

They mentioned in the video more cops came because they wanted to meet the gaming grandma, and they cleared the scene pretty quick.

I don’t think the goal is to get them killed most of the time. It’s mostly kids thinking they’re “pranking” them, and just want to scare them.

That’s if you play one of those. Seems like she was in a single player world. I wouldn’t consider Minecraft an MMO in the typical sense.

Assuming this was in the US, most 911 dispatchers are E911, so the approximate location is automatically included with the call. Smart phones are able to provide a more accurate location, and dispatchers still ask location because they don’t know what floor you’re on if it’s a multi story building.

Rather, move on because Nintendo is scummy and doesn’t deserve your money

So you’re saying move on to the high seas? Yarr

As someone that didn’t play sunshine as a kid but did recently, sunshine is my least favorite. The controls are clunkier than the other mario games because of the water , there was way more repetition with the bosses (the stupid goo piranha plants). Super Mario 64 was great and I feel like Super Mario Galaxy was an insane leap from Sunshine

The Wii. Too much gimmick stuff distracting from the experience (eg metroid wiimote shooting and wiimote sideways). So much shovelware!. It’s still a nice system (especially considering backwards compatibility too) but still.

It’s funny you say the controls distract from the experience, when I’d argue they add to the experience.

You ask me, the Wii is great and just keeps getting better, even now, with active homebrew communities. Many games allow you to choose what controller type you want, and there is a lot of creativity in the different games for using the Wiimote (though you may find those gimmicky). The biggest downside is trying to play if your TV is near a window and the sun is out. You have to close the blinds or it messes with the IR sensor.

According to Republicans, that’s what skin color is for

Your “plain language” goes from “do a thing” very quickly to “do a thing. but not that thing. or that other thing. and and and…”

Your options would be write all those things in plain language, or program them all eith (hopefully) no mistakes, bugs, or vulnerabilities. Either way you have to catch all the situations. Even in plain language, not everybody will be able to effectively use AI to generate code. You need to have a solid understanding of software architecture to be able to get useful output.

when it comes to creating programs, you want the output to be deterministic

AI is capable of writing deterministic programs.

I would also like to preemptively emphasize that AI is not there yet. I am simply talking about the concept of machines creating software. If you try to step back from your anti-AI gut reaction and truly think about it, it would make sense to do if we get there technologically

This is dangerous for me to say on lemmy, but fuck it.

Doesn’t it make sense that machines would write for machines? Isn’t that kind of what we already do by creating compilation layers programmers use? We obviously wouldn’t write the manual 1’s and 0’s, and most people don’t write using assembly. Is this not a translation layer for us to be able to write code?

Right now we have LLMs writing with languages designed for humans, and it’s already doing some pretty wild stuff. If we get to the point where AI is literally a coding model (and not a generic LLM) that is able to use an AI optimized way of writing code, who knows what it would be capable of.

Code is one of the few things AI is specially suited for. AI is just a big fancy prediction machine, so what better application than something that is by definition formulaic and patternistic like code? I am not saying we are there now, but rather the idea that machines should write software does make sense when it becomes actually feasible.

If we could have programmed like this from the beginning, we would have. There has been many evolutions of making it easier to code. What’s easier than plain language?

“The ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.”

Someone having faster reflexes giving them the ability to catch fast moving objects is not a matter of knowledge, but muscle strength and agility.

The same would go for running, or swimming, or catching a fish with giant claws.

When doing things, it’s whether the limiting factor is physical or if it’s information they have or don’t have.

I suppose with running, for example, there will be a lot of knowledge for running technique. But no amount of technique or breathing exercise would make up for lack of muscle.

Most of those do not fit “smarter” by my understanding of the word. Someone that can run or swim faster than me is not smarter than me. Someone more skilled in shooting a gun is not smarter, either. Most of these abilities are separate from intelligence

Sounds like a skill issue to me
