You are somehow interpreting me not seeing the good in AI as if it was the same as less-able people being unworthy of aid?

I provided examples of the good delivered specifically by AI for disabled people, you still continue to dismiss it. This means that either you’re particularly dumb, pretend to be so, or are a bigot. Choose for yourself which one it is.

I simply say AI is not the way, or even a way. AI is the solution to an invented problem

Blind people not being able to see unless someone, or an AI, describes the surroundings for them, is an invented problem? You seem to be doubling down on either the bigotry or the idiocy.

But wait, since you say AI isn’t the way, you surely have another solution in mind. You know you’re free to advocate for that solution instead, without being an asshole toward disabled people.

when people say “only AI can cope with the scale”, have you stopped to ask, where does the scale come from?

That video is from 2020. Pray tell, were you also protesting against AI in 2020, or did you finger your ass instead until it’s become fashionable to hate ChatGPT, so you could blindly transfer that hate onto Apple too? Have you ever spent a second to learn that the Neural Engine accelerator for AI functionality was included in iPhones since 2017, or did you just pull your ideas about ‘AI scale’ out of your asshole? Do you even understand what it means when AI processing is done locally on end-user devices, or did three buzzwords about AI hate block the entirety of your feeble reasoning ability?

And, for that matter, 85% of what people call “AI” is actually just remote operators in Kenya or India

Or really, please feel free to provide any semblance of proof that Apple’s AI is done by people in Kenya, India or wherever, despite the Neural Engine chip. Be sure especially to highlight how the poor overworked people are able to do sub-second responses to millions of queries every day, with no change in the cadence of quality of the responses.

‘iPhone Magnifier and Voice over’

I don’t hear her complaining.

I replied to you with an example of AI recognizing things that the phone camera sees, to tell the blind user about them. That reply was before this comment of yours. I myself am also a person using auto-generated subtitles on YouTube, because my hearing isn’t too good, especially for the non-native English language.

Yet you claim that none of these uses improve things. So you see less-able people as unworthy of improvements to their lives. Nice to know, because an opinion stemming from bigotry can be summarily dismissed.

Seems to be a weather map or somesuch. Ironically it’s also a Macbook, not a Windows machine.

Take a look at how blind people can use phones to learn what’s around them, and tell me afterwards that you’re still against AI.

Dunno how you missed the existence of math rock. It’s pretty much prog rock married to hardcore punk, and is mostly about complex and changing time signatures, so the folks have to count stuff all the time. As someone has put it, “it’s unclear how the musicians know where in the song they are”.

Check out The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mammals, Ruins, Lanzallamas, Needle Play, UneXpect.

If you dig any of that, you might also like Mamaleek, although they are different, and also change the sound considerably between the albums: trip-hop metal on earlier albums, bluesy metal on later ones.

‘Zazmoze’s orbs’

from 6h to 23h

Those are rookie numbers. In the original ‘Harvest Moon’, the day was time-limited, but the night wasn’t. So I had my guy chop stumps for hours in darkness, until the exhaustion mechanic kicked in and had him fall down from any attempt at effort.

Everyone would request the ability to suck their own dicks, and never leave the home anymore.

Glintshake — post-punk / indie-rock, with some jazz on the albums. Iirc earlier albums are noisier, but I prefer ones starting with the incomprehensibly-titled ‘Oeshch Margziu’. (Also the guitarist Evgeny Gorbunov is the main dude in Inturist.)

Andre Antunes with Nooran Sisters — ‘If System of a Down were from India’ — he has similar mashups over various other Indian and Pakistani singers. And e.g. ‘Māori Haka in NZ Parliament goes metal’.

Therion’s ‘Les Fleurs du Mal’ album and the ‘Les Épaves’ EP consist of covers of sixties-seventies French pop.

Angine de Poitrine are currently very popular, they’re from Québec and play microtonal math-rock. If you peruse the music@lemmy.world community, you’ve most certainly seen them.

Gromyka — hilarious indie-pop playing on some Soviet-era imagery.

Fedul Zhadny — 90s-style punkish rock and synth-punk, he’s in NOM since 2014.

I’ve recently discovered The Original Noiseketeers, a Dutch band that has only a few tracks on YouTube from various years. The music is acid/psychedelic rock and dub.

Peter Cat Recording Co. — Indian jazzy indie-rock. This album is mellow, other ones might be more interesting for you, but iirc they don’t quite reach into punk territory.

By the way, check out Sun City Girls. They’re from the US, but they incorporated Arabic motifs in their music, which is often noisy ruckus, particularly on the earlier records.

His suicide wasn’t caused by depression. It was caused by progressing Lewy body dementia, which has a whole bunch of shitty effects, and depression is just one of them. His disease also wasn’t properly diagnosed until the autopsy.

Williams’ suicide was caused by a severe form of progressing dementia, with which depression is just one possible effect. It was also misdiagnosed, so he didn’t know for sure what kind of shit he was dealing with, just that it majorly sucked.

He nailed the look, though, I have to give him that. It’s the nineteenth century magnate look, on which cartoon villains were obviously based.

Sure, but the developer account costs about two and a half Doordash pizzas (which every USian orders every day for some unfathomable reason, judging by the incessant complaining on Reddit), and to my understanding signing can be automated.

Yeah, I’ve played lots of classic NFS back in the day, but since its physics was always pretty outlandish, the sports aspect of racing didn’t quite click for me. It’s only relatively recently-ish that I picked up Gran Turismo on PS Vita and proper simulators on the desktop, which is when I learned about the racelines, setups and whatnot — and started understanding what drivers are doing and started following F1.

Curiously, there’s a simple pen-and-paper game called Racetrack, which simulates the physics of racing better than NFS.

how many games do apparently run natively

From what I understand, indie devs mostly just check a box in their engine’s build script to compile the game for MacOS. It’s rather the big boys who always have trouble porting their games anywhere due to bespoke engines, anticheat or whatnot. And also sim racing devs for some reason, those never support anything but Windows — even though Feral has ported F1 games to Mac and they worked fine.

Apple doesn’t support Vulcan (or the support is outdated, idk exactly), and expects devs to use Metal instead. Which they don’t. So outside of small indie games, people gaming on Mac likely boot Windows anyway, or at least that’s how it was ten years ago — the situation might’ve changed with the M* processors, in that I’m not sure Windows runs on them.

Check out Mountain of Hell 2018: winning run by Kilian Bron (and then this run with the speedometer). And perhaps Valparaiso Cerro Abajo urban downhill. Both of these are those sports that take a fairly normal activity and turn it up to eleven. I don’t follow either of them, but watching the clips makes me sweat.

Motorsports can also be enjoyed by most anyone from their home, with sim games. The g-forces are obviously not there, but the inputs are remarkably accurate to life. It’s fascinating seeing drivers brake and turn at exactly the same points on track where I did in the game.

Personally I’m partial to mods of 60s-70s cars for Assetto Corsa. It’s lots of unabashed fun with the wobbly suspension.
