- Comment on Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 2 days ago:
Your brain is weirdly unhappy with the concept of other brains doing math. Nice!
The brainpower involved in mental math is just real-time factorization and otherwise general application of the rules of arithmatic. It’s no waste, it’s just a well practiced set of pathways that take annoying math and make it friendly. It takes at most 2 seconds to know if it’s time to use a calculator.
- Comment on I just realized that, due to EU's USB-C standardization, I as an Android user can't use the "I don't have an iPhone Charger" excuse anymore if someone asks. 4 days ago:
You can just say youre not comfortable lending a charger and instead take custody of their device to charge or own a really cool long cable which shows your intent to compromise even in the presence of boundaries others aren’t prepared to understand.

The fuck kind of question even is this? Customs installing a keylogger on your device? You are not only dumb as hell, but clearly far too stupid for a nation to ever care about you for even one single moment. Congrats on the immunity.

That… was the gimmick…
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 1 week ago:
As if, the console’s a scam and the game pricing is just the cherry on top. Half committing to caring about how much things cost is a waste of time, either acknowledge they’re both garbage or stop spreading this half assed attitude.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 1 week ago:
I’ve realized how easy it is to just actually run a network rather than half ass it with tailscale. I recommend this, it’s fun.

Life isn’t a conspiracy theory, the hardware is likely colocated. Tf is your issue, weirdo?

MFW I forget we are talking about two random companies who provide a service that can’t be described as either of those things

Nah, modern stud finders can tell the difference between “drywall with stud behind it” and “drywall without stud behind it” with some rf whatever the hell it does

That’s not really how this works

You don’t know what the word “application” is lol
- Comment on Slice of life, wistful melancholy, and K-On making me cry a bunch 4 weeks ago:
Just watch frieren and atla (not an anime but cmon) if you want to achieve peak storytelling alongside getting to know characters as they interact and develop or even just show you who they are as they already were.
- Comment on How are roundabouts made? 5 weeks ago:
You can also just mark a guideline using a rope tied to a pole and then drive the line painters per the guidelines.
- Comment on Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression rates 5 weeks ago:
This is just a more complex version of shared dictionary compression which I think one of the web compression algorithms does. Stupid LLM fuckers at it again with dumb garbage.
- Comment on Difference 5 weeks ago:
It’s hilarious too since one of the plotlines in the damn story is “Nobody listened to Frieren when she said monsters are only out to manipulate you with your words again” so it’s crazy to miss the fact that the story very strongly proves monsters are NOT intended to be at all likable or deserving of empathy.
- Comment on Difference 5 weeks ago:
I might suggest that, although Omniman suggests the reason he doesn’t care is because of his long life, it is his belief in Viltrumite supremacy that truly fuels the idea of her being a pet in his eyes.
- Comment on How do children address a non-binary parent? 5 weeks ago:
Probably depends on the kid. In the right house with the right mindset I bet parents could use first names. Otherwise it will probably be a special word to all of them, maybe something the kid calls them one day that sticks.
Maybe the parents will look to the internet or peers for answers and get stuff like “guardian” “my other parent” etc but ultimately the real question you should ask is how a child addresses their two same-gendered parents, maybe there’s something to contexutalize there.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
English is not “constructed” nor does its development to the point reflect high levels of intent like someone sitting down and deciding they decide what the best language is.
- Comment on Why does Lemmy use "@" instead of ":" like Matrix does? 1 month ago:
For anyone who can’t read that many words at once: URI means identifier and URL means locator
- Comment on Why does Lemmy use "@" instead of ":" like Matrix does? 1 month ago:
Matrix used a traditional URI schema approach. This is why it has a segment followed by a
:and then a URL.ActivityPub and related went “fuck everything, fuck reason, the web is fucking amazing” and came up with their own flavor of stupidity. Emails use an ancient first attempt at a URI that ended up being used ONLY FOR EMAIL.
- Comment on Why does Lemmy use "@" instead of ":" like Matrix does? 1 month ago:
They aren’t URLs they are URI schemas. A URL is a segment of the URI schema.

-
They use a service to send the text notification rather than directly texting a number, this inserts the original header
-
They are aware phone screens are not wide and text wrapping can be weird. They thus awkwardly split a normal message across a few lines manually as well as writing too much on one line.

Nobody tried to emulate a script. She copy and pasted some shit off the appointment info.

Holy fuck delete this shit. You’ve described a death plug, and this shit kills grid workers and innocent people who don’t know the plug is live. You absolutely NEED a proper system set up for this with a PROPER PLUG and the proper safety disconnects to avoid backfeeding the pover grid and KILLING PEOPLE.

Nobody is arguing against nuclear, shut the fuck up. Live in the real world where we are needing to slowly make progress on nuclear again because of morons who can’t accept chernobyl isn’t going to happen again.

- Comment on Cops are deploying AI-powered social media bots to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined “protesters” 2 months ago:
It is only entrapment if the police in the course of their duties or investigation suggest you commit a crime, or ask you to commit a crime.
- Comment on Discord's face scanning age checks 'start of a bigger shift' 2 months ago:
A seatbelt does not stop you from breaking a law. Age verification does. The assumption is that you are lying and trying to break the law and you need to prove why you aren’t. This has nothing to do with discord. Be mad at shit garbage UK and Australian regulators.
