Reply to What will be the future of CAPTCHA in a world where progress in ML/AI continues at this rapid rate? by too_damn_fast
There is already a version of captcha, recaptcha v3, that uses your history instead of those scribbled letters. It's not used much sadly.

Reply to comment by ehRoman in What would you say is the biggest year for videogames? by JohnnyCenter
What I'm trying to say is that every year, the gaming market is getting bigger and better. This year is no exception, as is next year (I'm sure). So, not disagreeing there.

Next year. It's always next year.

While the push for evs might be a good one, it's timed completely wrong. At this time, we can't even generate enough green electricity to provide our basic needs and our electric backbone is completely full. Any extra electric consumption only leads to more coal to be burnt. We need to consume LESS electricity, not more. Maybe, MAYBE, if we have a superstrong electric backbone and an overproduction of green energy, we can start thinking of adding more by going EVs.

I don't think the quality ot public transport in Hungary, Latvia or Romania has anything to do with their low car density.

Who cares? Those few cars/yachts etc are not adding anything to the emisions. I know it's not a popular opinion, but it's the masses that count, not those happy few.

I hate it when showrunners do this. They try to force a new season but when it's ultimately cancelled, it's the network that gets the blame.

Many , many people want to have sex with multiple people. Nothing really wrong with that. As far as the text shows, he at least is open about his feelings and desires. That's already better than most.

Well, at least he's open about it, instead of keeping tabs with her behind your back.
What's important is what you really, really want. What would your feelings be when he's with her? As that's what he's proposing. Could you see yourself in the same room as her, knowing you are in a love triangle? If not, then your path is clear.
Even if you see yourself being fine with this situation, his ex might not be. Even if she agrees, she might just do so in order to 'win him back'. After all, you're 'the other woman' as far as she is concerned.
It's a very tricky situation and definitely one we, internet warriors, can give a final solution to. Just be careful and make sure you brace for disappointment.

Reply to comment by boersc in What’s your favorite time-loop / “Groundhog Day” episode of a TV show? by wet_bandits23
Oh, and basically the entire series of Westworld. The timeloop is an essential part of the series on multiple levels.
boersc t1_jcxim47 wrote
33 minutes from Battlestar Galactica.
I know it doesn't really count, as it isn't a timeloop perse, but it was such a great (re)introduction to the concept of a fleet of refugees being hunted by calculating relentless robots.

Yes, but not in the crypto-form that's currently the hype. Crypto is inherently flawed as it uses wat too much redundant power and scales up with people's greed, making it less efficient. However, the internet itself is highly decentralized and i s ahuge succes, especially as it is extremely robust. You can take out part of it, but not the entire internet, and data always finds a route to its destination.
So yeah, decentralized definitely has a future, but not the monetary one.

Reply to Console Manufacturers Will Switch To 3-4 Year Upgrade Cycles Like PCs, Says CMA by Darren-B80
Both parts of this title are wrong. There is no way a 3 year cycle will happen if a cycle isn't available for the first two years, and a pc doesn't have a 3 year cycle either.

AI currently really isn't that much different from 30-40 years ago. Not really. Back then, they also did mass training of ai and also got it horribly wrong, for reasons difficult to explain. Ai identifying tanks based on whether the sun is shining or not, was a prime example back then.
It hasn't progressed that much beyond that, when you actually study it. Boston dynamics probably are most advanced nowadays and even those robots aren't really 'smart'. They can't do what they are not trained to do. Same with all the chatboxes nowaday. They can only combine and extrapolate that they have been taught. There is no original thought.

Reply to TIFU i crossed boundaries and betrayed his trust by going through his phone and found something and i cant just leave him by [deleted]
Don't read too much into what type of pron your bf is looking at. Maybe he's just curious or whatever. All forms of sexual preferences are available on the net and many check out types of pron they wouldn't prefer irl. You're both still very young, so both of you still have a lot to explore when it comes to sex.
As for the 'teen' part: that's very probably totally harmless. It's a category of young men/women, but all are (as long as it's a legitimate website) above the legal age, so no minors there.
As for advise, if you don't talk about this, it's going to leave a shadow over your relationship, as it's obviously bothering you deeply. So, the only thing to do is to be open about it and talk. Try not to be judgmental, but do state your concerns. After that, you can make up your mind on whether there is a future for the both of you or not.

Reply to Why do games nowadays have to be categorized either really good or really horrible? by mega_lova_nia
Both are very bad. CP2077 because of all the continuous errors and bugs, even today. WD Legion because they chose to get rid of a main character and unhinges story. Both aren't mediocre.
Raking in money doesn't make it a good game.
I'd value Valhalla as mediocre. It's pretty, does a lot of things good, but it's repetitive and the gameplay has nothing to do with Assassin's Creed. It's not bad, but has very little going for it.
There are still plenty of mediocre games. I'm actually playing one right now, for testing purposes. It isn't very good, but you can't really fault it either.
Edit: It's also with movies and series. I just watched resident Evil (2022) and pretty much enjoyed it. Not stellar, but definitely entertaining. The reviews were all 5/5 or 1/5, no middle ground. I guess that's just public opinion. You don't get attention if you 'just like it somewhat'...
