Oh man, spoilable items? Spoilable agriculture research packs?
That’s pretty intense

I’m saying it’s false to apply Occam’s razor to this scenario and draw a conclusion that this is caused by non-human life.

I’m not assuming earth is unique. There have been many earth-like planets that have been discovered.
I’m not even assuming humans are unique, given all of space-time.

It is extremely unlikely that there exists intelligent life other than humans at this time (or within the window-function of time required for us to receive a transmission from however many million lightyears).
Like, it is vanishingly small. The insane series of events that has lead to an intelligent species being dominant on a planet is ridiculous, to be honest.
In other words, humans are essentially unique at this point in “observable” time.

It is extremely likely it is a natural phenomena that we don’t understand, or even equipment malfunction, misinterpretation, miscalculation etc.
We have discovered unknown signals, then learnt what they are. Humans don’t know everything.
We have discovered unknown signals, then realised it was a nearby microwave, or a dodgy connection, or whatever. Humans make mistakes.

The simplest explanation in order to not have to deal with a new research project is probably “aliens”. But the simplest explanation is “natural phenomena we don’t understand yet”

The complexity involved to have sentient life evolved to the point that it can create radio waves is an astronomically small possibility. Having that coincide with our ability to detect such a thing is even smaller.
The history of “we don’t know what this signal is or means” has always been “a new type/phase of star”.

The only assumption here is that life is rare, and advanced life is rarer still. Which is supported by all of our science so far

The simplest explanation is a new kind of star, or a new kind of star cycle.
We have seen interesting radio signals before, they have all been explained by some sort of star behaviour.

The simplest explanation is NOT the evolution of an entire other species that survives all the way through to advanced tech to send radio signals.

Training will never stop, tho.
New models will keep coming out, datasets and parameters are going to change.

As someone that runs servers, having an immutable os (oe one that “wipes” on updates) is awesome.
The issue is that you are not in control of the config.

Learning to script over it might be worthwhile. Update, apply customisation script, back to normal.
It’s good to learn declarative configuration

I would like to think these sites can be used for multiple purposes.
Id prefer no new oil sites, tho. It’s a cash grab to try and make the economy look like it isn’t failing, at the expense of literally everyone

I use jerboa and it is working (I used the toolbar to generate it, but had to fix it because my mobile keyboard is a massive PITA for any corrections and I haven’t had time to find something new).
Anyway, looks like sync and boost are not lemmy-markdown-compatible

I cannot imagine going into a stream of someone playing a game you have poured your heart and soul into for years, and hear you own voice reading stuff like that

Edit: fixing spoiler tag.

While i agree, unfortunately these models (hopefully) drive politics.
Politicians will do the minimum they can get away with. Thats both human nature and capitalism.
If the models undershoot (climate change accelerates faster than scientists predict), the world is fucked.
If the models overshoot (panic etc, and it ends up being a nothingburger), people will stop trusting models.
If the models are spot on, action is taken, and everything is fine… Everyone doubts the models and the hype - despite the fact the threat was understood, acted on and fixed, and a catastrophy averted (think y2k)

I think we are pretty fucked, tbh.

Good work doing what you can!
Dodging shitty companies is difficult.

I had a google summary telling me how to use a lodash (js object/array/things helper library) method that sounded like it probably would exist.
It was named how lodash would likely name it, and was summarised to do what i needed.
Except, lodash doesnt have that method. Had to use a couple methods.

But that was eye opening for me.
Similar to lawyers citing cases that dont exist.
Saw a meme-ish post recently from an IBM presentation 30-40 years ago along the lines of “computers cannot be held accountable. So dont have them make decisions”.

Addicting, fun, loads of builds/options.
I do wish the early game was a bit more reliable. You can get stuck always playing catchup if you dont get a scoring joker in tge first couple shops

For mass distribution of wifi APs? Some SDN solution would have a higher upfront cost but a lower running cost. Im sure all the big providers have their own system, consumer ones include ubiquiti and omada.

Cheaper than that would be mikrotik. Not really deployable at the scale of 1000s that would be required to fit every room with a wifi AP, but CAPsMAN can scale to hundreds, so still has centralised management to reduce running costs.

If it has to be cheaper still, then any cheapo SBC with wifi. While raspberry pis might fit the bill, they would be too overpowered with too many unused features to really squeeze the cost effectiveness.
Hey, its google. They could probably fork an AP into one of their home automation thingies. Then probably a whole stack of ansible scripts to try and manage 1000s of deployed linux installs

Any computer with a network port and a wifi adapter can be turned into a wifi access point.
But there are cheaper and better alternatives than a raspberry pi

I find twitch to be a live-first platform.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell if something on yt is live, if a channel is currently live etc.
And things like raids (sending your viewers to another channel) and clips (user selected segments of streams) which helps build community.
Twitch is a community, and a community of communities. I’ve never found that feeling on YouTube.
I do like how easy it is to rewind YT live streams, tho.

I hope twitch gets some decent competition (and not something that buys a few high profile streamers and expect the rest to work… because it’s the smaller communities that makes twitch more than shroud/xqc/whoever).
But I have no idea how someone would actually make it profitable, never mind build the level of smaller communities that twitch has.

It’s not even the servers or VOD storage. It’s the bandwidth.
Live streaming isn’t cheap. AWS have example pricing:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/solutions/latest/live-streaming-on-aws/cost.html

Now, expect twitch to get a hefty discount. Even if they are paying 30% of that cost (and I’ve pulled that number out of my ass), that’s $500 per hour for a 10k viewer stream (and that’s assuming an average of 4mbps bitrate, not the source 8mbps).

A 10k (8mbps bitrate, so 80,000mbps or 80gbps total sending - egest? - bandwidth) viewer streamer is going to be on a 70/30 split.
So for a $5 sub, twitch is getting $1.50.
So that’s 330 subs per hour, or 5.5 subs per minute, or 1 sub every 11 seconds to cover the bandwidth costs.

AWS EC2 outbound bandwidth calculators align pretty closely with these costs, so it’s not like “video connections get the cheap networks” or anything.

Shortly? It’s happening already. I notice it when using Google and Duckduckgo. There are always a few hits that are AI written blog spam word soup
