RE: The Wibble
I'm doing some tests using the AI to translate everything. Now the root (index) page is translated with whatever is in the browser accept language, and can be overriden with a ?lang=xxx.
Whatever the AI understands should work, including things you invent like "en-spongebob", "pt-spongebob", "en-uwu", "it-pirate", etc.
en-spongebob does this:
italian-pirate does this (I dunno if it got piratelike cause I cant read italian):

@izzion Academia's "Publish or Perish". Oops. Wrong choice.
Academia importance to science is overrated. Things that matter would still be researched without this theater
Apparently dark matter doesn't.
such a perfect pun that double as a good valid response, you deserve some serious internet points for this one
the scientists behind those big particle accelerators are important. people with loads of crap publications and fabricated bullshit are not
would you pay me big money just knowing the number of GitHub repositories without looking at it's contents? something is weird on publish or perish
maybe the funders doesn't accept that a scientist isn't gonna produce a measurable amount of results if they're truly focused on discovering currently unknown things, and take measurable bullshit instead
a scientist that makes one breakthrough a week exist only on fantasy tv series

Yes, but will manglement be willing to pay actual programmers when code monkeys ((quasi-)human or AI) are much cheaper?
I continue to wonder how much of management is going to end up being replaced by AI.
There is an old sci-fi short story where management is the first to be replaced. I believe like everything else, it doesn't need to straight out replace everything you do, but if it can help a lot less people achieve the same thing the effect is about the same

@HardwareGeek pay peanuts, get monkeys. They will learn that if you don’t pay the money you get crap results.
They didn't learn that with buying cheap developers from 3rd world countries, they won't learn it with AI-generated code.
We are the developing countries, that is the right place for development to happen, right?

Just when I thought I couldn't hate advertisers more than I do.
I'm joking. I know there is no maximum.
I use AdBlock, pay for YouTube premium, etc. Then my kids chose to play games with 500 ad popup/second over the ones on play pass and keep annoying me about the popups.
I dunno about the maximum, but sometimes I fell like I want to do bad things to people that create said popups

Don't worry, if it's shit nobody wants it will be just another YouTube channel or something
I can already produce a ridiculous video nobody wants with my phone camera, and Netflix hasn't contact me to replace their portfolio.
There is a reason they pay Dwaine Johnson millions instead of a new unknown random actor that performs really well but you never heard of

@boomzilla said in I, ChatGPT:
the worse plagiarism is when I use someone's idea as a prompt. when someone does that in something with money involved, I think we'll see some big legal battles
if the AI changes the original enough, it will be a huge headache to detect and prove the original was used in the prompt
not very different than proving it was used on training, but in this case the results is much clearly visible as a derived work

@Zecc or possibly to avoid demonetisation (or censorship). Do they also use the word unalived, unironically, in the video?
in the original video I didn't notice any unusual word like this. did you see it in some translation?
I saw @Tsaukpaetra using this word on the dream thread, though it was weird but probably a cromulent word

RE: In other news today...
This is Portuguese, but I believe this news is WTF enough for it to be worth using the browser translator if needed:
The headline translates to
Woman takes dead man in wheelchair to get R$17,000 loan and asks him: 'Sign'
And the site is a reputable Brazilian news source

@sockpuppet7 said in responsivenes with vh and vw:
thanks for all the advice. I found something that reminded me of this thread:
all that extra space on the sides, and the text truncated, that is infuriating
Yeah but you can just scroll sideways if you really want to view that sample config file in a browser.
I copied the text to a notepad++ window, but that is infuratingly bad UX, and being able to workaround it doesn't justify it
I gets sillier on the ultra wide screen:
And the thing I suggested on my original post wouldn't improve it either, (using vh / vw). What I think this should have was line wrapping, having a copy to clipboard button or a view file as raw text link

RE: The Wibble
@Tsaukpaetra do you think gemini writes more interesting than my current gpt-4-turbo-preview thing? I did this test in on the free web thing:
Local Hunk Dives Headfirst into Lawsuit After "Too Hot for Safety" Waterslide Stunt (Lawsuit May Not Be As Wet and Wild)
Sunburn Springs, FL - A local waterslide attendant has sparked outrage and a potential lawsuit after what could only be described as a "romantic miscalculation at 30 mph." Kevin "The Kraken" Krakenheimer, known for his "smooth talk and even smoother moves," found himself in hot water (pun fully intended) after attempting a gravity-defying maneuver during a routine slingshot ride.
Eyewitnesses report that Krakenheimer, while securing a female patron in a "rather lengthy pre-launch procedure," exhibited "flirting so blatant it could have launched the raft itself." Sources close to the incident (who all requested anonymity for fear of Krakenheimer's legendary charm) allege the pre-launch "safety briefing" devolved into what many described as "a mid-air grope session that rivaled a professional wrestling match."
Just as the patrons were about to be launched into a blissful state of weightlessness, Krakenheimer, in a move that park officials are calling "an egregious breach of protocol and possibly basic human decency," performed a daring (and frankly questionable) acrobatic flip. This "romantic aerial maneuver," as Krakenheimer himself described it, unfortunately resulted in him landing headfirst in the shallow end of the pool, narrowly missing a flock of startled pool noodles and a particularly grumpy-looking inflatable flamingo.
While the patrons reportedly escaped with nothing more than a mild case of whiplash and a newfound appreciation for personal space, Krakenheimer is facing a potential lawsuit for "emotional distress" and "public indecency at a high rate of speed." Park officials, still bewildered by the entire incident, have released a statement assuring patrons that "safety is our top priority," while simultaneously adding a new line to the employee handbook titled "Absolutely No Flirtatious Fouls at Launch."
Krakenheimer, sporting a bandage on his head and a sheepish grin, maintains his innocence, claiming the patrons "totally dug the move" and that the lawsuit is "just a bunch of salty tears from joyless landlubbers." However, legal experts predict a different outcome. "This case," one analyst chimed in, "has all the makings of a legal flop. It's a slippery slope, and Mr. Krakenheimer might find himself completely out of his depth."

responsivenes with vh and vw
I'd like to check if you guys if the idea I am using for responsiveness on screen resolution is cromulent
For some reason, the standard I see on the internet is like here, a maximum width, with a big blank margin:
The thing I'm testing is using vh and vw units for size, that makes the text grow larger with the window. I think it worked better:
But I rarely do any frontend, is there any reason why it's not the normal way of doing this? (as in, why frameworks like bootstrap and the like use fixed width?)

RE: AI Generated Music
@dkf said in AI Generated Music:
@sockpuppet7 I remember a Google Doodle that did AI generation of music "in the style of Bach" based on a bit of melody you could supply. It was entertaining... but not very good.
Would it be better now? Well, maybe. The core issue is that there really isn't all that much music by any one composer, so learning a style is difficult with current LLM methods.
This one I found hard to distinguish from music created by humans

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a ready made tool for zoom in and generate, but I didn't see any yet

RE: The Official Don't-Interpret-My-Dreams Thread
@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Don't-Interpret-My-Dreams Thread:
I was operating some sort of water attraction that operated similarly to a slingshot-and-drop, but more dynamic and not using any hard-surface restraints (kinda more like a parachute?). I was assisting an adult female with the harness, and apparently was being very flirty, leading into overt groping that she seemed to approve of as the safety instructions went on for a rather long time. Anyways, everything was ready, and the ride started up, the group went up and I moved on with their squeals of delight (or other emotions) fading away. I did a acrobatic trick which landed me in the pool, upsetting folks. This lead into a chase situation that got boring
Edited prompt, I just changed a few words to for it to not be a dream:

IPv6 isn't the protocol we deserve, but it's the protocol we don't need
We sort of need it, and the ISPs that are large enough that the 10.0.0.0/8 is too small for them use it, but it is so much more complicated than IPv4 that most sysadmins don't want to deal with it until they absolutely have to.
I know, this gets very visible when you want to self host without paying extra for the privilege of an ipv4 address
I mean, the first part, dunno what gets more complicated for sysadmins, but I believe it's simpler but they already know a lot of ipv4 stuff, so it may appear easier for them

@topspin ME having to deal with the utter bullshit that is div-html:
I'm still firm on my unpopular opinion that this bullshit doesn't make any sense anymore. Html is presentation, JSON is data and the backend is the business core. CSS was sold as separating the presentation from the HTML, that in the 90s for a while sounded like it might make sense, but none today

Probably.
Same can be said about IP in general though, or basically anything up to slavery, so I doubt that’s a generally accepted argument.a valuable IP forbidden to be produced in the USA would be something new. the closest thing is cocaine that the government failed miserably to stop from getting in
near-slavery working conditions are also how most things are manufactured too
