  • Great I just ordered 6 boxes of Chilean rose
  • You mean Chilean rosé, right? … please tell me you mean Chilean rosé
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intelligence Tests⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you suggesting crows are not proud of it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Excuse me?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Was this written by the mentioned multi-layer perceptron?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  English is long overdue for a spelling reform, but just taking all fancy looking characters from other germanic languages is not the way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing changed between photos is clothing and pose. Is that gender? Well maybe it is, but it’s useless for classification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dropbox lays off 20% of staff, says it overinvested and underperformed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s good to have competition. Dropbox has to rethink their plan if they want to keep existing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill Would Force The Department of Veterans Affairs to Overhaul Suicide Prevention Algorithm That Favors White Men.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s such a harmful aspect of American culture not just in this case - they treat White and Black people as fundamentally different and separate, and each must have it’s own kind of healthcare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta's Controversial Shadow Ban: Are Pro-Palestinian Voices Being Silenced?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s not even intentional, or not as much as claimed, but a consequence of the algorithmic bubble .

  For example on Meta platforms I only get pro-palestinian content, I still haven’t seen an explicitly pro-israeli publication. But many people complain about pro-palestinian ban, so it leads me to a conclusion that it’s something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hard to argue with⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  FYI If you don’t have any connective tissue between your breasts, ovaries and womb you might have a problem. Your doctor should check you for vitamin deficiency

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just So⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s probably some link between human genetics and psychology. It makes sense knowing how other mammals work. However the studies are overwhelmingly so flawed and irreproducible that the entire field can be dismissed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Meta is doing a decent job with Instagram. I mean except for collecting all possible data and psychological profiling of users to serve them targeted ads, it’s a decent enough platform. And the only one still allowing for engagement with your actual friends rather than professional content creators.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenFreeMap - a public vector tile server for OpenStreetMap⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no tile server running; only nginx serving a Btrfs image with 300 million hard-linked files.

  Wow. Btrfs ftw

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the problem of sex⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  2 billion years ago a random mutation caused a local optimum in gene recombination and now we need to have gender studies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2real4me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And then it gives you the most generic answer how to run a docker build, that doesn’t actually address the problem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨stacked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It started with “we have no idea how they did it”. Then over time it morphed into “we have several hypotheses but don’t know if it any of those is realistic”. The current state of things is still there regarding the construction technique itself.

  In the meantime the village where construction workers lived has been found. Now we know the profile or people who built the pyramids, how they lived and what they ate. Even some details about work organization.

  All of this still didn’t propagate into the popular culture which is still stuck in the 1980s regarding pyramid knowledge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mental hell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the paper itself product of a PhD study?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Um, companies wanting to charge for their services? Sure it not as nice as getting stuff for free but how else are they supposed to fund the insane cost of running LLMs along with at least some profits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Religious people: The world is ending⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Making decisions in God’s name - that should be heretical or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Religious people: The world is ending⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The mayan one in 2012 was the best one so far. There was some real hype about it, movies, media, news, everyone was on it.

  In the end it turned out that it was the day Gangnam Style became the first youtube video reaching 1 billion views. Some would say it really was the apocalypse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of messaging apps do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Currently I have WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Signal, Viber, a Matrix client (Fluffy), Discord, Slack, SMS, email.

  I try to use Signal whenever I can, but convincing people to install yet another messaging app is hard. I don’t see the situation getting better, none of the major players is close to going out of business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blocked 🚫⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If someone needs another existental crisis here’s a prompt:

  • Is math universal or is it a system of thought invented by humans and it only makes sense to us?
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨biology subfields⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Where do I get a job in bioinformatics? Now that AI hype is on the way out (and I missed it) my best guess is that it will be the next big thing. And unlike LLMs it’s actually interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Centipedes Don't Fuck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they were those queer centipedes that fuck in person. Degenerates

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The point is not in the form but in the critical mass of users to achieve an active community. Lemmy (and Reddit before) are way superior in every way to forums on the technical software side.

  We need more people. Share, comment and participate. That’s the only way to create a community

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: Libraries⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Where I live most museums give a discount if you have a library card. Best investment ever (the 10 min it took to get the free card)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok Teacher Ernest Crim III Gives AI Models a “C” In Black History.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So not too bad?
  LLMs are great at summarizing, but not at choosing the correct source

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mod Post: Sorry for spam!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow, you might actually be a human. I honestly thought it was bot spam

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unofficial Reddit API⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It mimics the official one perfectly

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  yes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Osmand would be the best one if it wasn’t so slow. Compared to organic maps the rendering lag is not only noticeable but very annoying
