I wish he crossed to the greens instead. Him saying that Carney’s environmental cuts make him worse on the environment than Harper should’ve been front page news

What would you use the old phones for out of curiosity?

You’re old now and you can’t say mississippi quite as effectively anymore

I agree. This seems fishy to me. I am concerned about compressed code in a public disclosure like this. Also it seems like all the documentation was written by AI.

Yeah you need to change the oil in these cars every 5k. They are high performance turbo engines. I would never buy a BMW that just was returned from lease. Walking disaster

You also need to wind the engine out from time to time or carbon buildup. Rich people in these cars literally never floor it from what I see

When I can’t buy a manual anymore I’ll just kill myself. Lol. They are just so immensely satisfying to operate.

Worse than automatics in 2026 though in every way except fun.

B58 will probably be my next car. My n55 has almost 200k on it and the problems are getting kind of frequent.

That’s actually why the used market for BMWs is such trash. If you want a manual transmission good luck finding one because the original buyers are the people OP is talking about. People who actually know which cars are good tend to be poor people lol

Because it’s actually cheaper to just house homeless people than it is to take care of them on the street

I came here to suggest Frigate.

People like me are required to keep this AI empire going. There doesn’t seem to be a huge pool of people who are both computer people and good at physical labour/using tools.

I just meant that AI isn’t going to make me unemployed

I do a lot of system administration too. It depends on the system and who owns it. I do a pretty wide variety of work which is why I love it

We had facilities monkeys like you describe but after a reorg they gave those responsibilities to whichever sysadmins showed the most interest, which is how I got the job. I’d rather play with toys than stare at a screen all day so the jump was a no brainer to me

If you ever figure out what the path is let me know cuz any employable skills I have are going to be jobs affected by AI

It ain’t trades because literally everyone is going to do that when AI kills all the other jobs

My datacenter doesn’t host AI. Most of my servers process data coming from the square kilometer array in Australia. We’re looking for aliens

Problem is, cost of living is so extremely high where I live and I don’t know what else I would do to make enough money to stay here. I’m really good at this job, and I don’t have very many other talents

It could be a lot worse too. Our cooling system is a closed loop so we aren’t using fuck tons of water like newer datacenters. In the winter we can mostly get away with air cooling from outside air. And the power in my city is all from hydro dams

I work in a datacenter. I rack servers, I look after the cooling system, the generators, the ups’s, etc. I won’t ever be replaced by AI. Without me there is no AI. And I barely interact with it. I play with toys all day.

The environmental impacts still bother me. But IT has always been wasteful, even before AI. I hate recycling days when I see exactly how much plastics, styrofoam and metals are going to the dump.

The fact that you can filter by height but not weight says it all

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Utilize the tools or you’ll end up unemployed.

The US doesn’t really have any allies anymore and is quickly losing its dominance already

Most of your friends aren’t even friends. Went through a breakup a couple years ago and when I needed friends they all abandoned me. Most people only interact with you for their own personal gain, not because they genuinely care about you.

I will try it based on your second paragraph.

Are you sure the pipeline works that way? I know what you mean and it would seem like a huge oversight on their part to apply the denoise before the other edits. I would assume that increasing exposure, for example, would ignore the applied denoise rather than apply it overtop? If that wording makes any sense

Regardless I’ve used it to rescue photos I’ve taken on a nexus 4 over a decade ago, making them look like proper photos, and I find the feature so useful that it’s irreplaceable to me

The other feature is the AI content aware fill. In darktable, can you circle a piece of garbage on the ground and effortlessly remove it? Or do you have to do some manual clone stamping etc etc?

In a recent instance, a friend requested an album cover from a 3x2 image that I needed to expand to be 1x1. Can you tell that the left and right edges of this are not real? I don’t think I would have been skilled enough to pull this off without AI tools. https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1356058193_10.jpg

Darktable doesn’t have AI denoise, and also doesn’t have camera profiles for fuji RAF files, just off the top of my head.
