If you think this is annoying to play, try simulating 4D chess by lining up four of these 3D chess sets

The reaction to this is wild. Reddit has no problem with LLMs posting on their platform and is even talking about infesting the site with their own LLM agents, but then these researchers are apparently improper and highly unethical. It's wildly out of proportion and kind of surreal.

I guess Reddit's just upset they didn't go through them so they could charge fees or something?

Vegans don't have to only eat specially labeled vegan things, the only thing that qualifies a food as vegan is if it has no animal products in it. You can form a full vegan diet just from what you call "food food". Obviously you need variety though, and don't only eat rice.

If you're specifically getting specifically "vegan" products like fake meat or the like it can get expensive, but staples like rice and beans are cheap, vegan, and nutritious.

I feel kinda like an outlier in that I never used dude/man/bro pre-transition, but now that I'm openly enby and on E I use them reflexively with my friends. For some reason it feels like an expression of my queerness now. I also have friends who call everyone "girl/sis" and that rocks too, but I don't tend to use those words myself. My sister calls people "girliepop" and I find it delightful. I tend to wait to use any of the words with new friends before figuring out if they're cool with it though.

I also tend to call everyone they/them unless someone tells me what their pronouns are explicitly (or via button or something), I don't really like gendered pronouns. It makes for a funny situation where I use they/them for basically everyone except trans people.

LLMs are very good at giving what seems like the right answer for the context. Whatever "rationality" jailbreak you did on it is going to bias its answers just as much as any other prompt. If you put in a prompt that talks about the importance of rationality and not being personal, it's only natural that it would then respond that a personal tone is harmful to the user—you basically told it to believe that.

Classic

That's wild because I've disagreed with Ada on multiple decisions and I've never been banned... I wonder what the people who got banned were saying?

Hey smorty, we've never talked before but I wanna say I love your posts and your writing style. Always makes me happy to see you when I'm browsing local. I hope you don't change too much for the lemmy worlders, they're exaggerating their discomfort when they say they're "having strokes" or whatever. I hope you do whatever makes you happiest!

Why would house prices going down make people homeless?

How is that relevant when this patents are new, just backdated, and clearly filed primarily for this lawsuit?

IRS Direct File was just a free government-run alternative to the tax filing programs like TurboTax.

You can still do your taxes by hand without the help of any software for free, but they've killed the website that fills out the forms automatically and the manual process is significantly more complicated.

mom-and-pop style datacenters

I find this wording very funny for some reason. I do wonder what a more-decentralized internet would look like though, rather than 90% of it being in the hands of a few megacorps.

The cursed LLM thing uses buttplug.io on the backend, I just wanted to share it because the premise is very funny to me.

You're in luck

I read their Steam post. They spend a lot of time defending incest/rape kinks and saying "fiction doesn't affect reality". Sure. I don't think people are gonna play this and immediately go rape their family, and I think people criticizing this sort of game easily get caught up in the "video games cause violence" claim. Australia loves that one.

But the thing they didn't address, and I think is a bigger deal, is how this game is clearly leaning on and encouraging a culture of misogyny. The Steam description even talks about learning "what women are really like", a common refrain from actual misogynists. This game doesn't exist in a vacuum, and it's part of a massive normalized rape culture. They're just hiding behind the "it's just fiction" defense.

What I do agree with the post on though (I can't believe I'm saying that) is that this feels like a Streisand effect situation. This game doesn't deserve the level of coverage and attention it's getting. It's basically free advertising for the misogynistic weirdos who this appeals to, and this ploy of "oh we're gonna remove it from Steam ourselves" reeks of a desperate grab at more coverage and thus sales. If they were serious about delisting, they wouldn't have conveniently left it up after making their post—even if only temporarily. It's a classic "going out of business" sale.

Edit: They did unlist it on Steam, but it's still for sale on Itch lol. I'd put good money on this whole affair making them monumentally more sales than they would have otherwise, and they have a larger platform than ever.

Tailscale is just a bunch of extra fancy stuff on top of Wireguard. If you don't need the fancy stuff, using raw Wireguard can be more lightweight, but might require more networking knowledge.

The biggest thing Tailscale brings you the table is NAT traversal. On top of that it uses direct Wireguard tunnels as necessary instead of creating a mesh like you usually would if you were using raw Wireguard. It also offers convenient bits of sugar like internal DNS, and it handles key exchanges for you so it's just generally easier to configure. When you do raw Wireguard you're doing all the config yourself, which could be a pro or a con depending on your needs—and you'll be editing config files, unlike Tailscale which has a GUI for most things. It also supports some more detailed security options like ACLs and I think SSO, while Wireguard is reliant on your existing firewall for that.

Here's what Tailscale has to say about it: https://tailscale.com/compare/wireguard

I've messed around with Tailscale myself, but ultimately settled on running Wireguard. The reason I do that though is because I trust my LAN, and I only run Wireguard at the edge. Tailscale really wants to be run on every node, which in turn is something that raw Wireguard theoretically can do but would be onerous to maintain. If I didn't trust my LAN, I'd probably switch to Tailscale.

A lot of people have suggested Tailscale and it's basically the perfect solution to all your requirements.

You keep saying you need ProtonVPN which means you can't use Tailscale, but Tailscale actually supports setting up an exit node which is what you need. Put Protonvpn on the Raspberry Pi, then set it up as an exit node for your tailnet. There's a lot of people talking about how they did this online. It looks like they even have native support for bypassing the manual setup if you use Mullvad.

As long as every client has the ability to use Tailscale (I.e. no weird TVs or anything) this seems like it checks all your boxes. And since everything is E2EE from Tailscale, TLS is redundant and you can just use HTTP.

I'm not a lawyer so this is just my layperson's read, but looking at the actual law it seems like in order for it to actually count as "deceptive" it needs to be presented as real. If there's a disclaimer saying it's fake, it wouldn't be illegal under this law, so it seems like satire isn't the main target.

One use for wireguard in a container is that if you're using other containers on the same host you can use container magic to route the traffic of specific containers through the wireguard tunnel, while other containers bypass the tunnel.
