Even without machine translation, stuff like that has been the bane of translating software for ages as they are almost always done with absolutely zero context whatsoever, just a list of words and strings.

Can’t see any reasons why that might be difficult.

~44% of women voted for Trump. Around 55% of men. So women hate themselves almost as much apparently.

Ah, now when South Korea attacks the peaceful North, they can rest easy as the military might of Russia, the world’s strongest and most advanced military, swiftly rushes to the aid of the poor and ill-equipped North with countless troops, modern weapons, equipment and endless supply of ammo, and saves the day!

…what do you mean Russia is currently using North Korean equipment and troops as reinforcements after running low of their own…?

Exactly. You’d need 28.9km/s of Delta V to get something from the earth to the sun, because your starting velocity is the 107000km/h of the earth and you have to slow down that much.
Instead it takes only 2.9km/s to send Musk to mars and make him fullfil his promise of humans on mars by 2024 (well, he won’t arrive this year as the trip takes 8 months, but we could forgive him that)

That actually has a function. First is as a life sentence usually isn’t actually until you die, but you sit x years (usually 20-30) and then can apply for parole and might get it. Multiple sentences can be set to run one after the other, increasing that time - though usually in that case you just get “life without parole”.

Another is if you have committed multiple crimes. Even if later they overturn one of them because of new evidence etc, you still have the others left keeping you in prison, instead of having to bring it back to court to figure out if that part was or wasn’t enough to give you a life sentence instead of a shorter one.

Temu is a handy way of getting cheap AliExpress tat with combined shipping. Otherwise you can end up with 10 tiny packages you have to go get from the post office spread across two weeks.

I agree with all the EU claims though, the site is designed to mislead and hook people who can’t filter out all the predatory tactics it utilizes. There are no “deals” or scarcity, nor really any quality control.

Or just in the browser. Whatever app they are using is not following the same markdown as Lemmy, which supports only one level: 10^33^ = 10³³.

The datasets will have enough images of kids in bikinis and underwear from stock photos and clothes shop listings etc to figure that part out rather easily.

The way AI models work, you don’t have to train it on the thing you want it to do, you can ask it to combine the things it knows about. Take any of the meme loras for example, like pepe punch or patcha.

So literally any model that can generate pictures of naked adults and clothed children - which is to say almost all of them - is going to be at least somewhat competent in creating CP unless those prompts are being actively censored and blocked.

And your partner uploads those videos to TikTok? Because I’m not saying every video on the internet has to be a nine hour video essay that’s going be be watched by five devoted people, I’m saying that an alternative to TikTok, which is what we are discussing about here, can never work if you have to self-host those videos because the entire point of the platform is about making viral content.

Obviously self hosting for personal/limited use works, that’s how the internet worked for two decades before all of these platforms even existed. Before Youtube and Imgur and Twitter and Tumblr, I had a magazine subscription that came with a free email address and a hosting service with a whopping 50MB of storage, and that was plenty enough.

We are talking about a TikTok alternative. If getting as many people as possible to see your stuff isn’t your goal, then why would you post it in the first place?
Making your content go viral is pretty much literally the only point.

Self hosting isn’t really compatible with viral content, you do something that blows up and either get the hug of death or go bankrupt from the bandwidth costs.

Sheesh, you know your society has some rather deeply rooted issues when knowing someone’s name is enough to cause major problems like this. Not saying name discrimination is a rare thing, here in Finland it’s common knowledge having a Romani/Gypsy name makes finding a job a lot harder, but enough to cause major issues to the restaurant simply if your customers know the names of the employees?

Replaced by US manufacturers, using US workforce, paying them, in the US.

couldn’t non-chinese car companies just make better/more affordable EVs?

If we assume they actually were that affordable in reality, then the answer would be yes.
The accusation is that the Chinese government is financing and supporting their domestic EV manufacturers in an effort to artificially lower their prices to levels no other manufacturer could ever match in an effort to dominate the market and remove all competition - at which point they could increase their prices drastically and recover the “investment” as there would be no-one else left to compete.

If it’s true or not, I can’t say, I haven’t researched the subject enough. Those votes at least showcase that there is no clear consensus about it.

Here’s the actual Finland-russia fence.

Which honestly isn’t all that much more impressive when you realize why it looks so strangely familiar.

Yup. Helium is such a tiny thing it can diffuse through almost anything, and in MEMS oscillators which are supposed to be at a rock solid 32kHz, causes variance in the frequency eventually just “gumming” it up entirely and causing it to stop working.

If you want to know how and why, Applied Science did a video on it. Five years ago. Because that’s when this leak happened.

And the ones most likely to quit are ones that feel they have a good chance of easily getting another job due to performance/experience/education, leaving the company with the people unsure and desperate to keep the job.

This surely improves quality, productivity and motivation at the work place, yup yup.

Interestingly, they still followed the law that requires you to show the lowest price in 30 days which was the same as the sale price. Their argument is that the law doesn’t say that they can’t base the discount on some other, higher price.

Which does kinda have a point - if you had to base it on that price, if you have e.g a summer sale that lasts two months, after 30 days that sale price is now the lowest price and the sale would “disappear”, even if for the other 10 months you’d be selling it for a higher price.
So what’s the situation if you have a one week sale, one week normal price, then another sale - 30 day lowest price is the same, but the discount is valid too?

Yes, but:

“Scholars say the biggest reason for Japan’s very high conviction rate is the country’s low prosecution rate and the way Japan calculates its conviction rate is different from other countries.According to them, Japanese prosecutors only pursue cases that are likely to result in convictions, and not many others.
According to Professor Ryo Ogiso of Chuo University, prosecutors defer prosecution in 60% of the cases they receive, and conclude the remaining 30% or so of cases in summary trials. This summary trial is a trial procedure in which cases involving a fine of 1,000,000 yen or less are examined on the basis of documents submitted by the public prosecutor without a formal trial if there is no objection from the suspect.
Only about 8% of cases are actually prosecuted, and this low prosecution rate is the reason for Japan’s high conviction rate.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_justice_system_of_Japan
