Isn’t there a way to manually whitelist modified software on your AV, if it’s your own machine?

With modern software, there’s also the problem of just learning whatever weird stack the game is running on, to know where to look.

Yes. Assembly is barely abstracted from the actual machine instructions, to the point where the process of translating it is easily reversible. Reading assembly code is a thing all on it’s own, though.

There’s specialised software available for this kind of reverse-engineering now, too, if you’re doing something more complicated than just looking for and cutting out a system call.

Depending on location they can all be illegal. Firecrackers specifically are illegal in my region, IIRC.

Are they really cheap socks, at least?

It’s… just an order. Letters could go diagonally or back and forth, as long as everyone knows how to follow through them. It doesn’t matter where they are on the page, and yeah, you can do that with Latin text as well.

Logographs do carry information more densely, since they’re not constrained by actual speech sounds, but I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about. (They’re a lot harder to learn than a sane alphabetical system, as a tradeoff)

It’s not really a profession, more of a business which you may or may not run yourself.

There’s also the kind that’s old and semi-retired and cares for properties part time. I’m curious what the breakdown is now. When it comes to the big properties, at least in Canada it seems like there’s more multi-shareholder corporate landlords than Trump family-type landlords.

Wait, really? Do you have a link?

The conventional wisdom is that they barely ever work, but they’re also cheap enough per view it still makes economic sense for the one influenced purchase per person per year or whatever.

I can’t believe this is the only mention of landlords to date.

Fun fact, in Europe a lot of countries will pay for your homeopathy. Woo actually might be a bigger thing there.

It’s absolutely true. They might be a building over from someone doing level 1 tech support but making half the hourly rate.

Just having no morals won’t make you rich, but it can pay the rent alright.

In some civil cases they do literally just ask for a cut of any winnings.

If you’re thinking of protein design it is, just with a sequence instead of natural language text. Although it’s not just a straight LLM, there’s some kind of physics awareness engineered in as well.

Anything that’s fuzzy and impossible to automate with traditional algorithms, but that also has a reasonably high tolerance for error. It just makes up stuff a good portion of the time, you see.

However, I’ve found some benefits with AI. For example, I’m chatting with ChatGPT on credit cards, because it is something I may lean towards getting into. It’s helping me better understand than most people have tried explaining to me. Simply because it is giving me a more stream-lined response than people just beating the bush.

Watch out, personal finance is not one of those things.

Have a look at the list. Most won’t even get through the top 10 before finding a guy that just quietly enjoys having unfathomable wealth, and that you’ve never heard of.

A few use their wealth for (attempted) good or evil, and they tend to get noticed more. You might know Peter Thiel, but he’s all the way down at like 170th or something.

I don’t have hard data, but it seems self-evident just from my personal experience. And going back to the original point, it’s a nation of 400 million.

Yeah, occasionally. Honestly that’s fine, the annoying thing is when they assume everyone else is, too.

Yup. It was after something else little me was actually trying to watch. Couldn’t unsee.

Yeah, I haven’t noticed an unusual amount. Lemmy is still mostly Americans, and then maybe Brits and Germans. Just anyone that can speak English and has had broadband long enough to acclimatise to nerd culture, basically.

I can’t tell if they haven’t thought through what that would mean for them themselves, or they know it’s BS but it’s still good for marketing.

There’s many kinds, but yes.

I know canola has the lowest saturated fat of them all, which is also why it doesn’t smoke easily.
