Apple: “It’s the best LLM we’ve ever shipped. We think you’re gonna love it.”

Happy cake day @ruud@lemmy.world ! Appreciate you hosting all us Reddit Refugees when the Reddit Third-Party API Exodus happened one year ago! And big shout out to you and the other volunteer mods and admins, across multiple instances, that put in their free time to stabilize Lemmy World during the massive uptick in user registration, handling the codebase, the upgrade challenges, the creepy CSAM bad actors last year, and saw us through all the intermittent downtimes we had periodically. Lemmy World has been super stable and reliable since then.

Reminder to all reading this: if you can, chip in and help with server costs for this valuable service. Decentralization FTW

Trump waddles into the chat.

Best tasting bleach there is, and no one knows more about this stuff than me. It’s a good way to stop the virus. We can bring this into the body, you know, almost like a cleaning. Or hit the body with a very powerful light. Sounds interesting. We’ve got guys looking into that, too.

“Oh?”

The world was at peace for those few months.

EMERGENCY UPDATE: We would like to clarify that Boeing officially retaliapes against Engineers working for FAA.

This is something I’ve thought about too. I have some rare items on old DVDs that should be preserved. I’d love to upload it to Archive.org, but I’m hesitant because I don’t know if personal identifiers get attached to the media.

If I use a program like MakeMKV to rip my DVD to a computer, how do I check the file if there’s any personal identifiers? I’m aware I can right click and pick “Remover Personal Information” or whatever in Windows, but is there anything else that would attach any hardware identifiers to it? I want to preserve some of these discs since they’re long out of print and the company that distributed it is no more and you can’t buy this anywhere. I just don’t want my uploads to be linked back to me.

Marc Benioff: “Indeed, and rest assured that, with some form of emotions, I announce today that this is truly one of the days we’ve ever had. Despite this departure of our 700 wage slaves, we must continue to strive for greatness, adjust for new demands in this market, synergize our corpo-speak, become leaner, agile, and more aggressive, and certainly pad the coffers of the owner class.”

“We must be ready to innovate in our space. For this fiscal year, our teams need to be ready and work themselves to their bones. I expect our sales force to sleep on our SalesForce factory floor, with no detours forever more for sure.”

Marc Benioff: “This was a hard decision, and with heavy hearts we must immediately reduce our wage slaves by 700. This was not an easy decision for my bean counters to disrupt these lives, but it was an easy decision for me to destroy their dreams. There are emotions of some kind that I may potentially be feeling.

“Thankfully, any tears that may form in my eyes, either of joy or grief (I’ll let you decide), will be wiped away, effective immediately, by a warm ocean breeze while I’m on my catamaran.”

Bluetooth does have latency issues, but setting your TV to Game mode (if available) will provide extremely noticeable improvement.

“I would like [Dr. Birx] to speak to the medical doctors. to see if there is any way that you can apply light and heat to cure [covid-19]? You know? If you could? And maybe you can, maybe you can’t? Again, I say maybe you can, maybe you can’t?”

“I’m not a doctor, but I’m like a person who has a good…”

“… you know what.” ~ Former President Donald Trump

Oof, ultraviolet light. This makes me flashback to April 2020, shortly after the U.S. shutdown for the Coronavirus pandemic.

If you have 1:57 minutes of free time, watch this video of former President Donald Trump addressing the nation on the response to the novel coronavirus.

Warning: If you experience second-hand embarassment, try not to watch Dr. Birx in the background squirm in her seat as she sits through the idiot rambling of the orange man. Immediately after this press conference, corporations and media companies pushed out critical warnings to Americans to not drink or inject disinfectants like bleach.
