James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•Crunchyroll accidentally confirmed it uses ChatGPT for subtitlesEnglish11·1 hour agoFor YouTube tutorial videos I have no issue with relying on GPT, but I think it’s important to recognize that the translation of art is art. I don’t feel good about the idea of something without a soul or perspective interpolating a work of art from one culture and language into another that might be wildly different from where it started.
That all said, I think Crunchyroll and anyone else using AI art without disclosing it absolutely should be honest about it.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Announcements@lemmy.ml•Lemmy Development Update June 2025English4·1 day agoStoring upvote / downvote totals you gave to each user, and a setting to display that history next to their name.
Where is the instance that autobans any account that users have downvoted X times? I want to join it.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Apple: ‘Reasoning’ AIs fail hard if they actually have to thinkEnglish10·1 day agoThe term “reasoning model” is as gaslighting a marketing term as “hallucination”. When an LLM is “Reasoning” it is just running the model multiple times. As this report implies, using more tokens appears to increase the probability of producing a factually accurate response, but the AI is not “reasoning”, and the “steps” of it “thinking” are just bullshit approximations.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@lemmy.ml•New Linux Kernel Drama: Torvalds Drops Bcachefs Support After ClashEnglish16·2 days agoThat’s a good point, I have no doubt Linux would not be in the position it is if he were more sensitive to it.

EDIT: New rule?
I think linkrot is happening much faster here than on reddit, even if just counting deleted posts.
Are you sure? Are lemm.ee posts showing as deleted for you? It looks like the copies of anything posted to lemm.ee still exist on the instances that it was federated with. Try this link !animation@lemm.ee, I am pretty sure it should still work on your instance.

James R Kirk@startrek.websitetodatahoarder@lemmy.ml•[Question] Quietest 16-18TB hard drive for NASEnglish3·4 days agoYeah haha, as the other guy said, this drive definitely seems on the louder side of average, but the thing I wanted to illustrate is the pattern of the sound which I think is distracting at any volume.
James R Kirk@startrek.websitetodatahoarder@lemmy.ml•[Question] Quietest 16-18TB hard drive for NASEnglish3·4 days agoIt’s probably a matter of taste, but every one I’ve ever heard was absolutely not something I would want next to me on my desk while I was trying to focus.
James R Kirk@startrek.websitetodatahoarder@lemmy.ml•[Question] Quietest 16-18TB hard drive for NASEnglish5·4 days agoThose used enterprise drives are actually highly reliable but they do make a ton of very unpleasant sounding noise and it’s not just loud “brown noise” whirring like a normal HDD.
Here is a video of what they sounds like, not something most people would want on their desk.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Linux@programming.dev•Which Distros Are Doing Best Currently?English6·4 days agoWe’re simultaneously in a place where there are more options than ever, and yet it’s become increasingly clear there are really only 4-5 options.

GARAK: My dear Doctor, they’re all canon.
BASHIR: Even the non-cannonical ones?
GARAK: Especially the non-cannonical ones.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto A community for posting examples of sealioning and similar forms of trolling@lemmings.world•*People explain how Trump has fascist values* Sealion: "How is that fascism?"English7·6 days agoThis community is going to be the most addictive rage bait for me… Lemmy will prove fruitful content grounds.
You’re correct where it counts (not Roman at all) but it was around before Italian Fascism:
It was during the period of the French Revolution that the gesture was invented by revolutionary republicans who framed their politics as a revival of the Roman republic.
