Sorry for a second I confused sunshine and beaver and was gonna argue with you lol. I just remember you made a very sane first mod post there or I would have just blocked the community.

This is the guy that saved c/vegan on .world after the fiasco where the community basically imploded and moved to ML land. I’m not even a vegan (or vegetarian), but I know that :). Technician has done some Lemmy work.

Honestly not sure. I haven’t done a side by side with plain old chromium in years.

Existent**
It’s fine as a browser and it does a good job at syncing across devices. Still my chrome based browser of choice.

Its not as easy to go eat the wild ones, and people frown at eating from the human population. Those are all the options in the graphic.

I guess yeah you could draw it with straight lines. Not sure why I assumed you wouldnt in retrospect.

That would be a circle
- Comment on AI is learning to lie, scheme, and threaten its creators 3 weeks ago:
Press A to doubt.
LLMs do not have volition, even “reasoning” models. This is still super clippy: you can ask it all you want about the office suite, but anything outside of that context is nonsense to even talk about. Tone or lying or perceived intent or any of that is an artifact of training/fine tuning/distillation. Reasoning logic itself is just trained using good solutions, bad solutions, right answers, wrong answers and “truthiness”. It’s not easy to manufacture a model that is by and large coherent, but in no way is anybody putting forth a path to generalized intelligence.

I believe like two people in this thread lol.
Just not maintaining your shit isn’t some great intentional effort and benefit to the community. Just letting your once normal lawn grow out of control is not rewilding anymore than throwing your food scraps out the window is composting.
Sure, vast expanses of perfectly manicured fescue is not helping fireflies or other bug species, but let’s be real, knee high thistles, dandelions, and crabgrass is not providing a profound service either.
- Comment on YouTube Will Add an AI Slop Button Thanks to Google’s Veo 3 4 weeks ago:
Unpopular opinion: the fact that said stuff matches my style / that I like it is what makes art worth anything to me. Being made by a person or a fish or a machine doesnt matter. It’s the STUFF I want on my wall or the end table, not the fact that it’s tacitly human crafted. Any art I can afford is made by someone who is basically a faceless deal, not someone I know personally (or else the person matters) or someone who is famous (in which the person matters). Ergo… the people don’t typically matter.
Im not going to an insane restaurant to fanboy the chef, I’m going to eat the FOOD. If a machine makes it and every single dish is atomically identical, that’s fine, as long as it’s super tasty.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Not as bad, but I had a crisis of self changing jobs. I left a management role I had for 15 years where I had visibility / notoriety at big 10 university and moved to a much better paying work from home job in industry an army of one with little oversight.
After 3 years I haven’t really figured out how to cope with it yet. Nobody looking to me for help, nobody to mentor, basically no meetings, no water cooler… Yeah I have lost some sleep, but I picked up chess, I got back into reading, and I’ve tried to add the structure back in that I gave up even though it looks different.
What I can say is that I definitely see what you’re getting at. I strongly doubt you were a workaholic or had some kind of unhealthy relationship with capitalism or whatever other crap is going on in this thread. I’m sure we will figure it out, but it is jarring to lose the sense of purpose / accomplishment / definition of leaving a well established role. Ive still got 15 or so years before full retirement becomes an option, so if you solve it, share the knowledge ;).

Why not? If they are not old enough to drive or go places on their own the phone is probably the main way they communicate outside of school. My family does hand me down phones for kids and I could imagine having compatibility issues like old android vs new iPhone can’t video chat easily or whatever.
I’m not saying this is for sure the case, but I can envision a world where having compatible phones makes some things easier. It is surely not as bad as the good old days when some people had flip phones and some had smart phones. But there still may well be a gap.

It probably is, but no REAL artists made this before AI when they had the chance.

Strictly speaking, WD-40 is for water displacement. It is also not patented because they don’t want to give away the recipe.
Though, I think the other guy might have meant “lubricant” in the context of sex.

- Comment on Why do people care so much that their friend or family member’s partner is attractive and not just loving? 1 month ago:
Many people are themselves not particularly attractive, so this is may be a matter of realistic expectations.
It’s only interesting when there’s a large disparity in attractiveness which is generally anomalous. I think “many” falling into this category is probably an overstatement.
