But soup can float in a way, so that's the same

Oh yeah I'm not arguing with you on that. AI has become synonymous with LLM, and doing the most generic models possible, which means syphoning (well stealing actually) stupid amounts of data, and wasting a quantity of energy second only to cryptocurrencies.

Simpler models that are specialized in one domain instead do not cost as much, and are more reliable. Hell, spam filters have been partially based on some ML for years.

But all of that is irrelevant at the moment, because IA/ML is not one possible solution among other solutions that are not based on ML. Currently they are something that must be pushed as much as possible because it's a bubble that gets investors, and I'm so waiting forward for it to burst.

No, what I'm saying is that if I had vision issues and had to use a screen reader to use my computer, if I had to choose between

• the person who did that website didn't think about accessibility, so sucks to be you, you're not gonna know what's on those pictures
• there's no alt, but your screen reader tries to describe the picture, you know it's not perfect, but at least you probably know it's not a dog.

I'd take the latter. Obviously the true solution would be to make sure everyone thinks about accessibility, but come on... Even here it's not always the case and the fediverse is the place where I've seen the most focus on accessibility.

Another domain I'd see is preprocessing (a human will do the actual work) to make some tasks a bit easier or quicker and less repetitive.

AI and ML (and I'm not talking about LLM, but more about those techniques in general) have many actual uses, often when the need is "you have to make a decision quickly, and there's a high tolerance for errors or imprecision".

Your example is a perfect example: it's not as good as a human-generated caption, it can lack context, or be wrong. But it's better than the alternative of having nothing.

Yeah, I get looking a bit younger. Like after I started transitioning I went from being 25 and looking 35 to being and looking 25, which is honestly pretty cool.

But that much? Hell no

As a French? Yeah fuck France...

Isn't it not really advised because of side effects?

In France for example it's really not standard at all, and decapeptyl or bica are used more often.

Oh my god, same. Tycoons, City Builders like Transport Fever or Cities Skyline. I don't play them for months or years, then I spend like a week playing for hours and forgetting time, then I stop again for months

And there were some really great levels in the campaign, that was a fun game

I have the same issue, and I had to use a Mac for work, didn't have a choice in that matter.

I didn't know about AeroSpace though, sounds interesting. Currently I'm using Amethyst which provides tiling, but it's not i3/sway-like, so not perfect.

Because going electric is very expensive, probably requires some legislation depending on where the railway is.

For example there are many very short railways inside cities to access docks or industrial zones, those tracks have usually one or two trains a day, which is very low traffic, and can be located extremely close to housing. In that case it's really complicated to electrify it.

The issue is, if you want to go electric, you need 100% electric, not 95. So it makes way more sense for freight to go diesel-electric like today

I know right. If it did, you can be sure trans women would know about it.

But that utter failure of a tram was actually a tramway that would get on wheels instead of rails at some points. This looks more like the Mettis in Metz which are double articulated hybrid buses using dedicated lanes.

Je propose de remplacer le rouge par un rose un peu pastel, et le bleu par un bleu clair un peu pastel aussi. On garde le blanc

Well, Moria was a different case. The expedition to retake Moria was a long time ago (25 years before Fellowship). And Moria had been lost a long time ago in the first place.

Agreed on that. I've had two bosses where I had to spend 7+ hours to beat. But what I do is I play for max 2h at a time, usually less. And when I get back to it the day after,I really feel like I progressed

You're correct. In addition you could strafe using left/right C buttons, and you could look up/down using up/down C buttons, but that was awkward and not really designed to aim.

But we also must remember that those games had an auto lock system. Your character would actually target the ennemies by himself, you would only use the crosshair to dona headshot when you have time to aim, or to aim at a specific object in the game.

But yeah, that seems so clunky compared to what we have today

Same in France, and some cities are even experimenting the opposite: ads are opt-in, and you need to put a "I want ads" sign to get them instead.

Cries in 3 years waiting time (France)

What are you doing, step controller?
