XnView should meet those requirements, as far as I can see.

You brought up specifically HD. I’m willing to watch ads so that YT can continue delivering even lower quality videos as long as those ads don’t interrupt the video.

So hide the HD stuff behind a paywall. I’m perfectly happy at 720p for the VAST majority of videos. Might even agree to go lower if it means I can watch it without ad breaks.

Frank Sinatra singing Cruel Angel’s Thesis is now part of my playlist, I’m ashamed to say. I didn’t dare look further because I am weak. The appeal of the concept is undeniable, the implications are horrifying.

If I’ve ever seen the same post 5 times, it was in a day or two and it was a new and exciting thing for some people so everybody would post it and the same time.

Enter the same thing 5 times and you’re good for the day :)

Well, that’ll teach you to actually take care of your pets and not just dump their food in front of them and be done with it.

Yeh, I get that it’s just an example. But wouldn’t it be like that for anything you could ask it? It can only work with what you’re giving it and that data could be heavily influenced by you not wanting to see something. Or exaggerating. Or forgetting. A human looking at your diaries might be able to put themselves in your situation and understand, based on their own experience with the human condition, how you were probably feeling in a situation the diary entry is describing and interpret the entry accordingly, maybe even especially when considering other, seemingly conflicting entries. But they’re using “outside” information which an AI doesn’t have.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying what you’re imagining is completely impossible - I’m trying to imagine how it might work and why it might not. Maybe one way to develop such an AI would be to feed it diaries of historical people whose entries we can interpret with decent confidence in hindsight (surely those must exist?). Ask the AI to create a characterisation of the person and see how well it matches the views of human historians.

I am so very much not an expert on AI and I hate most of what has come of the recent surge. And remember that we’re not talking about actual intelligence, these are just very advanced text parsing and phrase correlating machines. But it does of course seem tempting to ask a machine with no secondary motives to just fucking tell me the harsh truth so now I’m thinking about it too.

At that point you could search your diary entries yourself to analyse the way you talk about her. Assuming of course you’re honest with your diary and yourself and not glossing over things you don’t want to realise - in which case do you really need an AI to tell you?

The AI would still need to understand feelings, at least in principle, in order to interpret your actions which are based on feelings. Even “I like having sex with her” is a feeling. A purely rational mind would probably reprimand you for using contraception because what is the point of sex if not making offspring?

You REALLY don’t want to use the things posted in ich_iel as learning material. Most of them use deliberately poor language, not just puns, but our memes are frequently based on badly translated English memes (which means that even if an English “translation” seems to make sense, you’d be learning nonsense). They don’t make sense to native speakers who aren’t “in the know” and they’re useless if you’re just learning. Any machine translation would be lost entirely because there is no context, no grammar or anything. Do yourself a favour and flee this place until you’ve built a solid foundation of German to recognise what is a normal sentence and what is dumbassery on the internet.

I fucking hate that this fucking exists. Fuck. /c/angryupvote

What do you mean multiple users? Everybody OBVIOUSLY needs their own device! And if your eyes get worse with age, you OBVIOUSLY need a brand new device! Swappable lenses, pfft, what is this, Marxism?

HD only got even more HD.

That’s exactly what they were saying, no? “even more HD” = UHD.

Downloading movies from the internet (is wildly overhyped)

lol what does that even mean

Huh. I didn’t realise until the end that this is from 2014, interesting.
