  • Okay, because I saw you’re a fan of banpitbull subreddit.

    I need to ask a very simple question. Do you care about actual safety, or do you just want pitbulls banned? Like what is your goal?

    Because all science in the last 5 years states people, not pitbulls, are the problem. Globally. That’s the issue.

    If you actually want “less harm and death done” then you need to listen to the scientific experts and stop pushing for BSL, and instead push for things that move towards the goal of less harm and death.

    But okay let’s address the rest now

    Are you shitting me? https://financesonline.com/number-of-dogs-in-the-us/

    You don’t need to have a census to have a pretty damn good idea of how many there are. And you all keep telling me that I’m disingenuous.

    You say that and then the link you provided did not give me a very good idea about per capita of the breeds… I have no idea how many of any breed there are.

    This is a persons representation of a study. Not the study. but it links to here (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abk0639) So if breed has nothing to do with anything. How come there’s qualities organized by breed by the study? You can’t claim that behaviors aren’t affected by breed, then show me a study that shows a bunch of behaviors organized by breed. And you all keep telling me that I’m disingenuous.

    You are being disingenuous… Less than 9% difference across all breeds. A dog is a dog is a dog. Some howl, some don’t. Some are more active. A dog is a dog is a dog.

    Except this misses one big premise… Amount of cases can be exactly the same, but severity of each case can go down severely. Also amount of cases can be the same, but have less fatalities!

    Well it was counting hospitalizations… So it’s safe to say we’re only talking about severe ones…







  • You didn’t even bother reading it. This isn’t counting investment, it’s straight up losing money right now, not counting investment. Microsoft’s customer model charges $10 a month/user to use it and it’s turned out to cost $30 a month/user. The other big firms are seeing similar costs.

    These LLM require huge amounts of processing, then when your users are spending resources to do very simple tasks, which is basically all the models are useful for right now, it costs a stupid amount of money to do stupid things.

    This is not to say that it cant be useful in the future, or smaller purpose built models can’t be useful. But these vast generic models literally hemorrhage money as it stands.





  • None of this forces you to use their imager though… It’s barely a hoop, most people running multiple pi’s as servers will have done this for a reason other than ssh anyway.

    And yes one solution to this security problem is to require changing the username and password, the more effective solution is to not have the process running at all, unless specifically enabled. I’m sure that sentence sounds familiar from your company’s security team.

    Raspberry pi’s serve a lot of purposes, many of those purposes don’t need ssh. But if you enable it by default that opens the pi up to being a target, which we saw be a huge problem before this change.

    Also, this is not the only distribution that has ssh disabled by default. It’s just the only popular distribution I’m aware of that doesn’t have a server image option 🤷‍♂️ it’s actually standard security procedure.

    For example, if you install Ubuntu desktop, it’ll have ssh disabled, because it is standard. Pretty much any distro should do this as well as long as it’s not their “server” ISO.

    In any case it’s a good practice to backup your images regardless of what hardware you’re running on, especially if you’re running a cluster, it allows for easy reproduction across the cluster.
