- Comment on AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study 1 week ago:
Yeah, it (in my case, ChatGPT) has been great for helping me along with functions I’m only passingly familiar with / trying to use in new ways.
One that I was really surprised with was that it gave me a surprisingly robust, sensible, and (seemingly) well tuned-to-my-case check list of things to inspect for a used car I intend to buy. I’m already mostly familiar with what I’m doing there, but it pointed to some things I might’ve overlooked / didn’t know were points of concern for the specific vehicle I’m looking at.

Was not expecting an actually educational response to my meme of a comment, but boy is it delightful to receive.
Really appreciate the information!

that they used to consist of only the leg bits
Now I’m more confused. Are you saying they used to be, like, leg sleeves? Oh, and that’s what you would need to tie them to your shirt…man that’s weird…but I guess it’d be easier to weave 2 cylinders without the crotch bits.

There’s so much “wut” with this picture.
Why would you carry an Axe over the should opposite the hand you’re holding it with?
What is up with his pants. Dude looks like the has two dicks.

- Comment on PNG has been updated for the first time in 22 years — new spec supports HDR and animation 1 week ago:
Maybe I’m just a newb, but it still looks like PNG is the goto to ensure lossless image storage.
Everything else on that list that is “better” does/can do lossy compression. I’m not sure how to force apps to use lossless compression, so to me, all those lossy-capable formats are a drawback.
- Comment on ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it 1 week ago:
Thanks for the heads up.
Saw it wasn’t on F-Droid and was going to ask for source page (to get through Obtanium), but looks like they’re allergic to android and derivates. Appreciate you pointing to references.

Holy no paragraph breaks batman!
- Comment on Comcast is simplifying its Xfinity internet plans and dropping data caps 2 weeks ago:
As a former customer, I can’t help but wonder what their catch is.

Then start plotting buy/sell points for bitcoin and GME (don’t want to risk forgetting those over the next 15-25 years)
- Comment on HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK 3 weeks ago:
If I like the Anime version of it enough, I’ll actually try Bb. I honestly never gave it a fair shot because of how controversial it was.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 3 weeks ago:
Wow, wasn’t expecting a reasonable and emotionally grounded response as one of the top comments.
Keep up the good work my dude.
- Comment on Let's put an end to the discussion; what is the best way? 1 month ago:
What about reusing the bag clip plus the twist and tuck method?
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 2 months ago:
Yeah and at least they’re creator had a cool story.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 2 months ago:
Me too. That’s comparable to my dad’s old 4 cylinder Toyota Pickup (mid-80’s, so similar era). Smaller engine and wayyyy less power so I would’ve expected the pickup to get worse than the Delorean.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 2 months ago:
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’d love to take that as a project vehicle.
Batteries for home setup (on TOU plan, so it’d be nice to charge when rates are low and discharge when high).
Then slap an combustion engine in there that just acts as a power plant for the electric motors. It’d probably be biting off more than I can chew, but it sounds like a hell of a learning opportunity and tickles my engineering/tinker brain’s fancy.Of course, after blowing something up, I’d probably focus on dissecting the drive train and using them motors for something else. I’m suddenly curious what the suspension set up is like. If they’ve got some crazy high tech mag-ride system, I’ll bet that could be repurposed for another vehicle (pending Tesla proprietary protocols for connecting to ECU).
But now I’m rambling. The thoughts of what I could do with those parts though.
- Comment on New To Android? What Apps to Choose? 3 months ago:
Was using F-droid for the longest time as primary app store (where I could).
This comment inspired me to swap to droidify though. A month-ish in and I’m super pleased with everything since I swapped.
Just wanted to tag in with my own personal support for this recommendation.

Which repo is ironfox in?
- Comment on Did we all give up on calling him Drumpf? 4 months ago:
Yeah, I’m glad most stopped.
I like to share excerpts from Lemmy with my incredibly right-wing family (hopefully to chip away at their staunch beliefs) and its SOOO much easier to share articles/comments when I don’t need to re-write them to exclude all Drumpf mentions. (Those mentions of course cause the person I’m trying to influence to immediately shut down and not read the rest of what I said)

True, but not much of a shower thought?

Thanks for genuine response. Lol, most who interpret my question that way you did don’t seem interested in a good faith discussion. But ol’ boy is def tripping if he thinks SQL isn’t used in the government.
Big thing I’m intending to pry at is whether there would be a legitimate purpose to have duplicated SSNs in the database (thus showing the First Bro doesn’t understand how SQL works).

had to join to it
I don’t think I get what this means. As you describe it, that reference id sounds comparable to a pointer, and so there should be a quick look up when you need to de-reference it, but that hardly seems like a “dependency knot”?
I feel like this is showing my own ignorance on the back end if databasing. Can you point me to references that explain this better?

Right. Fingers crossed we figure out national IDs before then.

In responding to other comments, I’ve found similar things.
All the same, thanks for the resources!
