"Taiwan hit by strongest quake in 25 years, four deaths reported"
"TAIPEI, April 3 (Reuters) - A 7.2 magnitude earthquake rocked Taiwan on Wednesday, the strongest tremor to hit the island in at least 25 years, killing four people, injuring dozens and sparking a tsunami warning for southern Japan and the Philippines that was later lifted.
Taiwan's government said four people had died in the mountainous, sparsely populated eastern county of Hualien near where the epicentre was, with more than 50 injured.

At least 26 buildings have collapsed, more than half in Hualien, though in one of the worst damaged ones 22 people were rescued with only one missing, the fire department said.
Taiwan television stations showed footage of buildings at precarious angles in Hualien, where the quake struck just offshore around 8am (0000GMT) as people were going to work and school.
The quake had a depth of 15.5km (9.6 miles), according to Taiwan's Central Weather Administration."- only 4people died. all things considered, they're doing pretty good.pango

Signs your getting old?
The day you will buy a car and tell yourself "that may possibly be my last car"
Iam not there yet but I may have only two cars left...
- crash a car a year, sure this way you'll have more than a car leftOBBTKN
- I buy a car every two years. I have lots left. I've owned more cars than I can remember, that's my sign I'm getting old.lemmy_k
- or a hammer...rzu-rzu
- That's what I am thinking. The car I want is expensive, but I still have my M3, 14 years now...next car could be my last, so why not go big!formed

If you sub to Adobe CC
nope - still £58/month in the uk.
such a fucking rip-off- This is my 4th or 5th year paying half price. Usually they offer it when you cancel instead of renewing.palimpsest
- I used a VPNYakuZoku
- Other options are talking to a human or using the chat.
This year it was changing the region that worked for me.
Nobody should be paying full price.palimpsest - what pail said, I've had it for around half price for 4 or 5 years now. Use the live chat and say you want to leave.fadein11
- obviously ask to chat to a humanfadein11
- Yup same. You don;t even need a sob story just askProjectile
- Just get a torrent alreadyjagara
- I jsut straight up ask for a discount to match the price from the previous year. Always match it but get sick of playing the Adobe game to have to contact themsab

RIP of the day
Ed Piskor Jr. was an American alternative comics artist.
Suicide aged 41.
I really enjoyed his Kayfabe podcasts.
-- Very sadspl33nidoru
- Eh, there were multiple credible claims that he was a Kricfalusi-level pedo that were getting louder recently. Probably why he killed himself.garbage
- fucking hell...is suicide note...not gonna read it fully.oey_oey
- I did. It's somehow a mix of cringe and self-damnation. It reads like "oh shit I'm going to kill myself so that I don't have to go to prison".garbage
- Also mentions that COVID was hard but when the lockdown was over, that girl wouldn't be 17 anymore.garbage
- "Maybe I’ll be able to haunt you dorks as a ghost. I come from Gypsy heritage and I’m definitely cursing a lot of you." Imagine that being your final lines.garbage
- Pervert Moron Status: Confirmed.garbage
- I've read half of it but I read the "out of context" argumentoey_oey
- Yeah, it was a career ending move, his friends abandoned him, there was no Matt Gaetzing it for him. He would never recover from it.PhanLo
- Yeah, I think it lends to the allegations tbh. Also the texts..garbage
- He kinda resembles Fassbender from The Killer.Ramanisky2
- I’m pretty sad he died.PhanLo
- The podcast was nice. Too bad.bezoar
- Technically talented, but I don't divorce the skill from the artist because there are too many instances of an artist grooming children.garbage
- If you actually read his posts, they read like "damage control" and then "fuck it please don't believe the receipts"garbage
- There was a girl, a child, that liked his art. Thought that he was interested in her for her talent, but he was waiting for her to turn 18.garbage
- The only way about being sad that he died is that he got an easy out. Dude was a calculated pedophile.garbage
- Strangely I knew him mostly for the podcast which I enjoyed listening to. Apparently his comic maybe gave a hint at where his head was at, but I never read themPhanLo
- I never did either, but saw some of his frames and heard of his reputation. This was 100% a "Oh no, better ragequit life before everyone knows I'm a pervert".garbage
- The guy is dead, garbage, what more do you need ?spl33nidoru
- I don't and didn't need anything, just pointing out the facts. Good riddance to bad rubbish.garbage

- I mean, somebody saved him from himself.garbage
- One of my best friends was a PMC, I think he was scheduled in Arjifan in Kuwait. The prevailing joke was Kuwaiti Sunnis shit like this..garbage

- Nothing is sacred on QBN.cherub
- @NBQ I don't know how you come to that conclusion. It's about the money. Change the outfit and this is a rich idiot kid in Gulf Shores Florida.garbage
- And dumbest brag, but I used to teach in churches. Read the Torah, NT, Quran, all the apocrypha. Believe it or not, I was going to be a pastor.garbage
- However I'm just an atheist that hates how Christ's name is slandered by the fool following that has been muddied over the centuries.garbage
- There are good people in every faith, it's just the extremists that make the news.garbage
- Very fine people.palimpsest
- lol, that's too simplistic and you know it. Hard line lies in politics? Absolutely. I live in fucking America. Fight them.garbage
- Existential lies that somebody tells themself? Let them be. Faith should be personal, and it becomes a problem when they impose it.garbage
- I'm on board.
I even defend flat earthers, we all believe in something.palimpsest - Lol, too far. You can prove that we live on an oblate spheroid. You can't prove nor disprove God.garbage
- God is real insofar that he is both the catalyst and excuse of almost every conflict we've had as a species.garbage
- God is also real in that he helps your average Joe go to sleep at night. I'm ok with that, but Flat Earthers need to go to school, not church.garbage

ChatGPT continues to satisfy when it comes to easy-to-implement HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Working on some prototypes for some work I'm hoping to land, needed some simple counters to count up from a starting number to another number, use ease-out and an editable timing to slow down as it reaches that number, needed it to be triggered with an event listener so it starts when it's visible in the viewport, and needed the ability to place a $ symbol before monetary numbers, or a % symbol after percentages.
Had the code in less than a minute, dropped it into place, and bang, worked like a charm.
Any of you using it for this reason or doing anything far more complex as far as code goes?
- https://www.youtube.…utopian
- Love it! Did you see that video where they input a pic of a whiteboard flowchart and it spit out a working a prototype? So coolnb
- @nb that is fake.sted
- it really is great for writing functions that i know I will spend 4 times as long debugging if i wrote it myself.BabySnakes
- Keep feeding it. It will feed your replacements. Half-coding is leading to full-coding, and human irrelevance. This has been projected for about a decade.garbage
- feeding it? it reads all the code examples and docs already online.BabySnakes
- i think this type of query is only useful for QC. do a search on some random lines from that code you will probably find a stackoverflow comment or a git reposted
- @snakes Not that simple. Any ML or GANs system requires successful input that results in passable output.garbage
- It's in the name. You feed it more input, and eventual result is the replacement of the creator. "Generative Adversarial Network".garbage
- Those engines are training engines we haven't even heard about, and they will be beyond Adobe-level subscription levels.garbage
- This conversation started a decade ago, and you'd have sounded insane about suggesting UBI, but it should have been where you put your votes.garbage
- I don't care how good you are at what you do, you will be replaced in the near future by something that can do your day's work better and faster.garbage
- TL:DR - AI isn't neat nor new.garbage
- lol @ "it's in the name." GPT = generative pre-trained transformers. Not a GAN.kingsteven
- I do all my coding in Cursor now which is a fork of VS code with GPT built in. It is shit but saves me a lot of googling. Can't even imagine the current gen AIkingsteven
- is a threat to anyone, it just saves time organising and copy/pasting (which is not coding!)kingsteven
- great for SQL, boilerplating and small apps for data conversion etc + and great for learning new things - it's just google with less steps.kingsteven
- I don't know where you took a wrong turn, but I never said GTP was a GAN.garbage
- The positive feedbacks are 100% feeding privatized GANs engines, and if you didn't know this years ago you're behind the game.garbage
- Anyone using Sensei on CC has been training their replacements for about a decade. This isn't conspiratorial, it's happening.garbage
