- Comment on Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human? 2 weeks ago:
AI is a very slow learner still. The base OS for humans is really advanced with hormones biases built in and a initial structure connected to input and outputs.
Sure, it’s possible but we’re not there yet. It could be still 10-100 years until we manage to get a good one, depending on how we don’t know yet.
- Comment on Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites 2 weeks ago:
There was a pre-Google search that was really bad. Then Google raised the standard by optimising for good results. The trick was to stay one move ahead of SEO devs. First people spammed keywords, then people spammed backlinks, etc.
The issue is now that it’s very outdated and the best thing for websites to do is go spam AI articles about everything. The obvious move would be to move websites with higher specificity to the search query up.
The problem is that Google can do that and optimise for fewest actual clicks on links instead of needing to click 3 to get a result. Instead it’s better to click 3 pages with 3 sets of ads then hopefully do it in the goldilocks “enough to be interested but not to stop”. More screentime is more ads, more ads is more money.
This is peak capitalism guuuys

You might have to look up the word “mammal”
- Comment on Older patient gamers: what is your preferred gaming platform? 3 weeks ago:
I run the game on PC but use Steam link on the TV to connect to it and use a controller most of the time. It’s not the absolute best for playing keyboard + mouse games but it’s very nice for Subnautica for example.
- Comment on Is Lemmy growing or shrinking? 4 weeks ago:
Anectodally is getting a lot better recently. Quantity and quality is increasing and number of upvotes per post on frontpage is also increasing.
- Comment on Traveling personal cloud options? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe be more specific?
For traveling I would suggest a laptop to behave as a server but the IP address changes a lot when traveling.
I’d personally opt for something hosted at home if possible like Nextcloud and Jellyfin with static IP and port forwarding to access on the go.
Tbh though, if you just want storage on the go buying a portable 1-4TB drive that connects via USB-C is enough.

In Christianity God is Jesus and Jesus was made of atoms. Thus God did exist and was made of atoms at one point at least.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Assuming that a supreme creator exists and that he created the entire universe then we’re in the wild west since science only deals with known things and this divine spiritual can’t be measured or examined.
That makes all answers to this question would be pure speculation to make it fit into our understanding of the world as we know it and resulting in a big “we don’t know”.
Assuming he/she is made of atoms and given we haven’t seen it on earth we can more or less determine that it’s either smaller than a human or not on the earth or in the atmosphere. It can also exist in another reality that can’t be seen or measured from ours deep inside the earth or ocean.
To actually get anywhere with this question you’ll have to make a lot assumptions until almost all the assumptions become the answer.

I should rewrite the post to remedy this gross negligence.
- Comment on Dispose of them 2 months ago:
I’d laugh, but I can’t since this is more nuanced than it seems at first glance.
Pros of cereal first:
- Accurately gauge the amount of cerial
- Controlling quantity of milk pouring is very easy.
Pros of milk first:
- There’s always enough milk to soak the cerial at the time of pouring cerial.
This post however misses the true way to maximise crunchyness which is to have a pool of milk and pour only smaller quantities of cerial and immediately eat them.
So to conclude, this post misses the mark on many accounts because of oversimplification of the subject and reactions should be moderated accordingly.
- Comment on Diablo 4's new mount costs more than the actual game 2 months ago:
Not all random events. Just anything that requires payment to activate a randomised event / prize should be forbidden for children.
- Comment on Diablo 4's new mount costs more than the actual game 2 months ago:
I mean, yeah. Showing what Kinder toy is inside is a small price to pay for a broad stroke gambling law.

Password patterns are best.
- Comment on Diablo 4's new mount costs more than the actual game 2 months ago:
Anything that costs money to use with a randomised result should be considered gambling.
- Comment on The probability of losing your life to a cosmic ray bit-flip is increasing daily 2 months ago:
I thought we already had a way to deal with bit flips. CPU bit flips should be common by now because of the size of processors these days.

- Comment on I had some that looked exactly like this 3 months ago:
These are incredibly useful. In Iceland we have mobile classrooms that can be moved by truck. If you need only one or two classrooms then these do the job but as soon as you get to 5 it justifies building a new wing of 10 classrooms. Incrementally building 1-2 classrooms is not the best use of public money.

Is it known that it predates Celtic? I thought people didn’t know much about the history of the language since nothing was written, just roughly where and when because of archaeology.

All they had to do was to reskin oblivion and pass it through an AI upscaling for models. Reskin the horse to be a spaceship and you’re done.

I personally can’t wait for open sourcing of mobile drivers / driver apis. That will finally allow stuff like turning off phone components for Linux mobile system and not have gyro for some specific phones.
