The response isn’t even broken. It’s not finished. It gives responses in markdown, same as Lemmy. That is the syntax for a picture embed, it’s just still typing the rest and it doesn’t show it until it’s finished typing.
I analyzed it in another comment: the header says the image is 300x300px 8-bit RGBA but the data is invalid. Most viewers will notice that and show an error.
However, the syntax it used for embedding images is valid, as data:image/png;base64, is the start of a valid image URL and you can use it like other image URLs in supported Markdown interpretors.
Example, using the 103-byte Google Maps’ sea tiles, and a 178-byte GIF:
I have one AP on the west side of the house pointing east, and one of the east side pointing west… great signal everywhere. Don’t have ethernet in the walls? Run it. I took 4 hours out of a Saturday to buy cable, fish tape, a crimp tool, some ends and some wall outlets and wired up my whole house with the help of youtube. No, I don’t do that for work. Oh, and I had to get a 12 inch drill bit, apparently I have 3 2by4s in a row up in the ceiling.
If you live somewhere that’ll let you then access to a crawlspace like an attic will let you do this
For example at my place getting into the above house crawlspace lets me access the insides of my walls from above. Simply run Ethernet from above where you’ll want each end of a plug to be, then drop it down and put it in place through a cheap (like .45c) Ethernet wall adapter. Hardest part is cutting the hole into your wall for said wall plug
I’m simplifying a bit but honestly it’s incredibly easy to buy a length of Ethernet wiring and some rj-45s, Google how to wire them, and run it yourself. I ran a short wire across a room once and it only took like an hour. Would be less in future now that I have experience
Powerline has much better latency (and much more consistent latency) than wifi, so it’ll give you a better experience for stuff like gaming. Depending on how exactly your house is wired and what else you have on the circuit it can have reliability problems (although if you live in a dense area wifi isn’t exactly reliable), but if your house is suitable it works very well, I used it about 5 years with no problems.
I’m currently using powerline because running an ethernet cable across the apartment seemed gaudy at best. The suggestion of a flat white cable stuck to the wall seems interesting.
I have the modem and router on a UPS because power flickers semi-regularly here. Sadly, powerline cannot go on a UPS.
Honestly, just don’t settle for the shitty router that your service came with, get that damn thing out from behind the TV or wherever it shouldn’t be, get it up close to the ceiling somehow, and you’ll probably never want to use a fishtape even if you can.
Mesh networks are probably the solution for apartment dwellers. The routers all act as one router but are separate smaller routers that talk to each other so you can put them all around the house, and you just need to plug them into power. No mods to the apartment are required, it’s all wireless. The catch is expense, but if you buy once, and cry once, then it becomes like a piece of nice furniture that moves with you.
But again, one $40 modern router that isn’t the shitty combo unit from the ISP, keep it up high and unblocked, get enough extra Cat cable to reach where you put it, and you might be happy enough with that.
Hell, get the router out from behind the TV if that’s where you put it (everyone tries putting it there to hide it) and you might get all the signal you need.
I’ve been renting for the past 7 years. You can buy flat, white Ethernet cables that can be fixed to the walls with sticky clips. It’s less ugly than the round cables and while obviously not earthquake proof, the clips do a fairly good job at keeping the cable in the corner.
Powerline ethernet uses your existing electrical cables as the network cables, but on a different frequency. Beware when using in shared units such as apartments.
“Sure, I can try to generate a funny comment for you. Lemmy is a federated link aggregator and discussion platform, similar to Reddit. Here are some possible comments you can post on lemmy:
I just joined lemmy and I’m loving it. It’s like reddit, but without the ads, censorship, and corporate overlords.
Lemmy is the best thing since sliced bread. Literally. I haven’t eaten anything since I discovered this site.
How do you pronounce lemmy? Is it leh-mee, lee-mee, or lay-mee? I need to know before I start a podcast about it.
Lemmy is so addictive, I can’t stop browsing it. I’ve been on it for 12 hours straight. Send help. And upvotes.
I’m new to lemmy and I have a question. How do I get karma? Do I need to post memes, cat pictures, or political opinions? Or do I just need to be nice and helpful?
I hope you find these comments amusing and suitable for lemmy. 😄”
Come up for a reply to this quote: “Christ, why even have people anymore? Just have ChatGPT be all the users. It’s already indistinguishable.”
ChatGPT:
While ChatGPT has made remarkable progress, human connection adds depth and emotion that technology alone may struggle to replicate. Let’s appreciate the unique qualities each brings to the table.
I actually wonder what a purely AI/ChatGPT community would look like (no human posts/comments allowed), would they eventually start to develop their own weird culture, memes, inside comment jokes that nobody would even understand? There’d be like a picture of a tire and a rubber ducky with the text reading “Five fingers / garden hose” and all the comments would be things like “The wombat, in ascension, remembers. Nautilus.” Like how fucking weird would they get without human intervention?
We had that on reddit, subreddit simulator I think? It was a more primitive version of LLM, and it didn’t train itself on content from the simulator sub.
How many burgers were served? Multiply that by a hundred to get an estimate of how many innocent cows were slaughtered for this circus. But sure, it being cheap food is the thing to complain about.
If you’re referring to crop deaths, you should know that nonsense has been so thoroughly debunked that anyone should feel embarrassed to be perpetuating that lie still.
Yes, and odds are they are asking as a way to bring up the idea of how many animals are killed in order to harvest plant crops. If you had bothered to go to the link, it would have at least somewhat answered your question because the short version is: fundamentally, significantly less than the amount of animals killed to produce meat.
All it takes is to think it through. If harvesting crops kills a lot of animals (which as the link shows, is already significantly less than some assholes made it up to be), then raising animals for food automatically kills even more animals because it takes way more crops to feed the animals that are raised for meat or dairy, than it takes to just feed humans directly.
about 85% of all soybeans are pressed for oil for human uses. but a soybean is only about 20% oil altogether. that leaves 69% of the soybeans as industrial waste. feeding that industrial waste to animals is actually conserving resources.
so it’s not even true that the land used to make food for animals isn’t used to make food for people: it’s the same land.
That makes no sense. Every part of a soybean can be made for human uses - textured vegetable protein (tvp) is de-fatted soy, for example. 7% of soy is going for human consumption, because that’s how much demand there is for it. Just as the vast majority of soy production is being used to raise animals for food, because that’s how the economics works. You can see the cited study and more in greater detail in this article - which also shows how cattle farming is in and of itself the single largest driver of Amazon deforestation.
And this article is a primer on feed conversion ratios, which demonstrates why eating plants directly will always be fundamentally more efficient and better for the environment than raising animals for food ever can be.
Are you a human being, or a mechanistic formal debate bot? I’m informing you on a complex subject matter with many important interrelated issues that range everywhere from ethics, to personal health (yes that animal flesh is killing you), to environmental issues, and even the grave risk of pandemic potential.
Your narrowmindedness is a symptom of typical carnist mental gymnastics.
i’m so glad you used this. you can find this graph there that shows that almost all the soy we feed to animals is the industrial waste from oil production
My math was bad admittedly - I didn’t take into account that most or all of those patties likely came from the same processing facility; so that even if 100 body parts are in one patty, 100 patties might contain the tissues of the same 100 cows that were slaughtered. In all that table might be a picture of 100, 1,000, or 10,000 body parts mutilated beyond recognition and mixed together.
My intent was not to suggest that it takes 100 cows to make one burger, that would be untrue. My intent was to point out exactly what the article was getting at, which is to recognize that when someone looks at most ground meat products, they are looking at a grotesque slurry of what used to be not just one living being, but the combined flesh of as many as a hundred or more once-living sentient beings.
I think you can guess that part. I doubt a current LLM can create a valid PNG, even if it’s just a 1x1px one that has been created before. This is partially because PNGs have a checksum and the LLM has definitely not seen enough PNGs in base64 to figure out the algorithm, and is not optimized to calculate checksums. In fact, I analyzed the image and the image header checksum is wrong even though the header makes sense (was likely stolen). Also, it gets penalized for repetition, which occurs a lot in image headers.
AFAIK, the smallest valid image you see mentioned on the web is a 35-byte transparent pixel GIF, and the smallest PNG is a black pixel with 67 bytes:
Curiously, today I had a “kebab roll” (“kebabrulle”) which is a big thing in Sweden. Essentially a kebab pizza with a salad on top, some onion pieces, and dressing, rolled up into a roll, wrapped in tinfoil.
As a non robot and definitely a human person who is of the homo sapiens species, I can tell you that this humorous meme is quite hilarious to those of us who have soft bodies and are not made of any mechanical parts whatsoever. I suspect suspect suspect suspect you of being a robot in disguise! Everyone get them!
No, you need to include the height of the cylinder (a). Imagine a deep dish pizza (big a) versus a thin crust (small a) - the sides of the deep dish pizza have more area. Your formula returns the circumference of the pizza.
If you’re interested in dimensional analysis (and why wouldn’t you be?) the formula you proposed doesn’t have enough length units. It would return a value of length (like inches, or cm) not area (like square inches or square cm).
I tried to wait for it to finish, but after a couple hundred more repetitions of JzH it just stopped abruptly without a closing parentheses, so I think I’ve been had.
It’s not an image. It’s a string of text designed to look like a link to an image. But it isn’t a link to an image. You’ll get a 404 if you try to use it.
I can’t get it to decode, even after correcting the base64 padding. Firefox just shows the broken image icon. My image viewer throws out the glorious log message Image format is actually “png” not “png”, along with a bunch of checksum errors.
I guess, the checksum can’t be correct when it’s cut off, but none of my image viewing/editing software wants to look past that.
