maximus

It's possible that I'm not familiar enough with it, but in my experience OpenSCAD makes the vast majority of projects take way longer compared to non-scripting-based CAD software. I learned Onshape for a class and haven't used OSCAD since. (though it definitely still has some niche uses)

AV1 is very efficient (around twice as good as h264), but a filesize that low was almost definitely because the default encoding settings were more conservative than the ones used to encode the blu-ray. The perceptual quality of that 1.5gb file will be noticeably lower than the 44gb one

"special people"

I assume they mean experts in that specific field, i.e. people whose job it is to put on firework shows. It's not that there's one specific group of people who can buy a lot more, but that there are some things that we should only allow experts to buy.

we need to make a /c/wizardposting

LLMs, IIRC, are really bad at IQ-test type questions that require abstract reasoning, especially if they require multiple steps. So, something like

The box is yellow and red.
If the box is yellow, it is good.
If the box is blue, it is unhappy.
If the box is good and happy, the box is awesome.
If the box is red, it is happy.
Is the box awesome?

is what I'd use.

There was an account that made a ton of posts in different communities implying that they were planning a banana-themed bank robbery. (asking if the bananamobile could outrun a police car was their most popular post, for example)
The account's either been deleted or banned, unfortunately, so there's nothing I can link to.

you got a problem with banana plant guy?

I've never administrated a Lemmy instance, but I can't shake the feeling that the traffic and activity that would generate would be a massive blow to the infrastructure we have right now. I can't name anybody at the moment, but maybe we should start with someone a bit smaller?

Eventually somebody's going to pull the lever, either accidentally or deliberately, so it's best to flip it while it kills the least amount of people.
I guess b/c of that it's sort of like the regular trolley problem.
