well we're talking tarrifs, what are the penguins exporting to the US...

and I suppose maybe they aren't doing a good enough job combating fentonyl crossing over to the US.

So... it's entirely because we don't do enough business with russia right now.

God damn, how much are the penguins shipping over here.

That's my understanding of it, I'm not an expert so.. I'm only giving 70% confidence in my answer.

Put simply, Lets say hypothetically he's like you on lemmy.cafe.

and we'll say he's posting to to lemmy.world/c/memes which he was banned from.

His post will show up to lemmy.cafe users connected to memes... but his posts will only show up on the lemmy.cafe version of memes. When cafe federates back to world, world will just ignore the posts and not share them.

In addition they won't be seen by, lets say programming.dev here, while it hasn't banned this person, it's looking to world for it's copy of the community, which will not have your friends posts.

What if we just delay another month! that should do even more confidence...

I mean the concept seems pretty obvious. Obviously it won't be supprising when a film is made completely through AI... What will be suprising will be if it doesn't suck.

I find it weird that this is being viewed as a difference between the 2, when to me the quotes seem pretty much the same. IE the father

father: "I see you did this, it's terrible and I want nothing to do with it, it's an insult to life".

Son: "I don't think it's unlikely people will make a movie entirely through AI, whether anyone will want to see it is anyone's guess".

I don't see any quotes from the son on his opinion of quality, and if anything I see skepticism towards quality. I don't think anyone can deny, a lot of people are going to try really hard to make full movies entirely from AI. That's as obvious of a statement as "people will try to make cars that drive themselves".

Again I think our problem is the concept of what we are calling "AI". IE I'm only talking of basically AI Generated art/avitars. If done in a consistant way I don't think it even quite qualifies as AI. Really just glorified puppetry. There's no "trustworhtyness", because it doesn't deal in facts. It's job is literally just to take a consistant 3D model, and make it move like the defendent moves. It's old tech used in movies etc... for years, and since it's literally dealing in only appearence any "hacks" etc... would be plainly visible to any observers

Don't worry we have a solution. Immigration gold cards... why would people illegally buy their way into the country, when there's a legal way to buy your way into the country with drug/trafficing money.

The point is the idea, that in general a system could be applied where... say universally the same avitar is applied to everyone while on trial. The fact is "looking trustworthy", is inherently an unfair advantage, that has no real bearing on actual innocence or guilt of which we know these bias's have helped people that better evidence have resulted in innocent people getting convicted, and guilty people walking.

Theoretically a system in the future in which everyone must use an avitar to prevent these bias's would almost certainly lead to more accurate court trials. Of course the one hurdle in my mind that would render it difficult is how to accurately deal with evidence that requires appearence to asses (IE most importantly eye witness descriptions and video footage). When it comes to DNA, Fingerprints, forensics, and hell the lawyers arguements themselves, there's no question in my mind that perception with no factual use, has serious consiquences that harm any attempt to make an appropriately fair system.

[–] TheFogan 6 points 3 days ago

true, though at that point an avatar itself is unnecessary. Maybe that should be the standard, just change procedure to not ever bring the defendant into the court room.

Admitted I do suppose the biggest problem with the hypothetical goal of hide the defendant in the court room, is that some of the evidence is going to obviously require what the defendant looks like (Eye witness testimony, video surveillance clips etc...).

I do agree with the general gist though, if we could run courts without ever showing the appearance or even names of the people involved, it would be the ideal system to eliminate bias's

There eating the laws of the people who live there

Was going to say, would be more disturbing if the headline were

"trumps meeting with Nyetenyahu is expected to be about Disney's iive action snow white movie".

Simple music playing concept (self.homeassistant)
submitted 3 months ago by TheFogan to c/[email protected]
 

Hey everyone.

I have my homeassistant setup. Something I'm looking to do is a simple alarm clock, slowly turning up my LED strip, and gradually say turning on music in 1% increments. But I really haven't had much luck coming up with a not silly $100 + system to, just have a music player that hass can control. I have a basic bottom line tablet in our bedroom set up as a home assistant dashboard. we have a paid spotify account.

But I'm kind of losing my head trying to wrap around exactly what or how to actually get a controllable system. that can be set up in my bedroom without any costly additions to my bedroom. We have plenty of bluetooth speakers, but to my knowledge all of them require actually turning them on manually if they weren't playing music before. Which kind of negates their value for an alarm clock.
