  • When people think you’re dying, they really, really listen to you, instead of just waiting for their turn to speak.

    Fight Club

    Doesn’t really give me goosebumps, but I think about it a lot because how much of a lie it is, especially because the Narrator/Cornelius is too full of himself to recognize the only people stopping to listen to him are people who are actually dying themselves. He isn’t dying, and isn’t actually listening to any of their stories, certainly not with sincerity or care. He is just merely… waiting for his turn to speak.





  • Altman and a few others, maybe. But this is a broad collection of people. Like, the computer science professors on the signatory list there aren’t running AI companies. And this isn’t saying that it’s imminent.

    You realize that even if these individuals aren’t personally working at AI companies that most if not all of them have dumped all kinds of money into investing in these companies, right? That’s part of why the stocks for those companies are so obscenely high because people keep investing more money into them because of current the insane returns on investment.

    I have no doubt Wozniak, for example, has dumped money into AI despite not being involved with it on a personal level.

    So yes, they are literally invested in promoting the idea that AGI is just around the corner to hype their own investment cash cows.



  • IPv4 has DHCP. Is there something in the way of applying a similar solution to IPv6?

    That in itself is implemented a few different ways, and each one is more useful dependent on your use-case, but these also have very little to do with how your ISP hands out the IP to your modem. When you get an IP handed out to your modem by your ISP, it’s often not being handed out by DHCP but an entirely different technology purpose built for whatever medium (cable/DSL/fiber) is actually going into your modem, so knowing their implementation is still important. Things work a little differently at enterprise-level. Although you’re not wrong that eventually there could be routers with auto-configuration based on which type of IPv6 network the router detects, there just currently aren’t any that I know of.

    But if you’re interested in the modern equivalents of DHCP you should look into SLAAC vs. DHCPv6 which are similar but oh so very different.


  • Whoa whoa buddy, nobody is shitting on you for your preferences.

    1. The original post by this woman stating “how many drinks would it take for you to forget I have a dick” is part of the problem because it normalizes the idea of a beautiful woman having a dick as a fetish instead of just “some beautiful women happen to have dicks.”

    2. When someone says “who cares” they aren’t necessarily saying there is anything wrong with a different opinion. In my case, it was meant as an implication that the original question itself is problematic to begin with.

    3. I didn’t feel attacked when @IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world suggested that “you are the bottom, ya lucky bastard” despite the fact that I am strictly a top when it comes to trans women… because they weren’t implying that was something wrong with feeling differently and I upvoted them because it was funny.

    4. A lot of those women (even some who are busy using fetishization of their dicks as a business model) don’t actually like having a dick and want to get a full bottom transition surgery but cannot afford it and/or are prevented from pursuing it due to how fucked American healthcare and the issue of being trans is treated at all. Even if you don’t like the bits they have now, there may be a future where they no longer have those bits, and in the meantime there’s two other holes they might be happy to have you sexually active in. In my experience, a lot of transwomen who still have their original equipment don’t want it touched at all because it’s a reminder of their gender dysphoria/dysmorphia.

    Anyway, wasn’t meant to say that you can’t have your preferences.
