I'm not surprised, I've been assuming this for a while.
The problem is that all these AI companies just plug in a search engine and expected to work.
Most search engines these days suck, so if your base is bad, your results will be bad.
That's why I love @kagihq cause they're search first, AI second. They have a solid search engine, which then also makes the ai searching much better. WHO WOULD HAVE EXPECTED

@M0YNG are intentionally and explicitly unsubstantiated accusations of criminal conduct considered to fall within the server rules for appropriate behavior on mastodon.radio?
I have no dog in this fight, so to speak, but since I follow the hashtag, I get to see the noise and refusal to substantiate, so I thought I'd ask if you as the server admin find this acceptable behavior.
Thanks!

How I Beat NES Mario in 0.000005 Seconds
In this video, I showcase "Intercycle Cartridge Swapping" as a means to run arbitrary code on the NES, and use it to beat some NES games absurdly fast.My gam...YouTube
A less extreme version of this is an alternative way to unlock the Sonic 3 level select (the official way is extremely difficult because of tight timing and the game doesn't check for inputs on every single frame).
AFAIK, Sonic 2 and 3 share the same RAM byte location for "level select unlocked". So doing Sonic 2's level select, resetting, ripping out the cart (I think on the level select screen), swapping with Sonic 3, and resetting again, will retain the "level select unlocked" bit.
We need, today and every day of this fascist clown show, to do two contradictory things at once:
(1) recognize that what these bozos said is ridiculous, ignorant, unserious, just pulled straight out of their butts, and
(2) treat what they said as a real and deadly serious possibility, and act accordingly.

Apologies if any of these have been done before!
1. Whatโs going on in the background whilst you are making? Silence? Music? TV? Audiobook?
2. What do you do when you need a boost of inspiration?
3. Is your crafting/making space meticulously organised, organised chaos, or just chaos?
4. What would be your top tip you would give someone starting out in your chosen craft?
5. Are there any crafting/making tv shows that you never miss?

I'm sure it will shock everyone that the Trump admin DOJ's lawyers weren't competent to argue its new position in federal court. The judge had to call a recess so that the attorneys could go read the policy they were defending. Shocker #2: Hegseth "egregiously misquoted" the studies they were relying on to argue their position. The studies actually say that trans troops are more ready and more deployable than a comparison population not excluded from service.

Here is an alt-text description for the image:
An illustration shows a slender elf woman with pale skin and long white hair, wearing full plate armor. Two red flowers are attached to each shoulder pad. She holds a silver necklace with a pendant that appears to be a broken heart. On her left side, she holds a shield with an etched design of a pair of wings. White fabric hangs from her shoulders and waist. The background is dark gray.

the more i learn about the arian controversy the more i'm convinced that
1. the surviving christian doctrine we know today *must* have grossly misrepresented the arian position, possibly up to and including the core accusation of denying the divinity of christ, and we will never know, because
2. almost the entire disagreement was inflated and escalated along existing sociopolitical divisions that should have been of no theological consequence whatsoever
and based on the way money and politics inevitably creeps into large social movements that have explicit in-group/out-group dynamics and rallying symbols and recruitment systems, i'm not sure that dichotomy is not ultimately necessary
