Russia intentionally bombed a ton of civilian targets with zero military value. It’s weird that you don’t remember this. There’s even a lengthy Wikipedia article specifically about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_on_civilians_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine
There’s a distinction between intelligence and sentience.
The stuff impressing people right now only has a tiny short term memory and no way of really transferring that short term memory to long term memory, so it’s definitely not something you can characterise as sentience.
It is definitely intelligence, though, since it can draw from a very large pretrained set of knowledge with deep relational connections.
I’m hoping Valve will start putting more effort into SteamVR for Linux and/or Proton for VR.
They made a lot of breaky changes to the API since Lemmy is fairly young. Not that project management for Lemmy has exactly been great, but I’m guessing this will become less and less frequent and/or they’ll start including a handful of previous versions to ease these transitions.
Yeah, it’s coming in v19. How do I know this? Because the instance I previously used decided to update to v19 RC1 despite being a production instance. It has instance blocking in the settings. Lemmy maintainers broke API interoperability for v18 and Boost doesn’t support v19 yet, though. I decided I would rather use a different instance on Boost than use the web interface on that instance.
That’s exactly what came immediately to mind for me as well.
