Lmao “looting”. Humans on the verge of starvation fight for survival? No fucking kidding.

Thanks for the correction, I lumped in other parties with independents.
- Comment on Can someone explain Australian parties to me? 1 week ago:
Y’all have first past the post / winner takes all, don’t you? There was a vote recently and “labor” won from what I’m reading?
We have a (ranked choice voting) preferential vote system. You number your choices (1-8 for house of rep and 1-6 or 1-12 for senate). If the absolute majority isn’t obtained on first count the preferences are distributed until a majority is gained and that majority forms government.
Labor, coalition, independents, etc. what kinds of parties are these?
Centre-left (progressive), centre-right (conservative) and varied respectively. Independents can be anything from legalise cannabis through Kitkat Palmers (billionaire) wannabe Trump party. Ranked choice allows for support of smaller parties but still picking one of the main two if it comes down to a close call.
I thought Albanese was a “cunt” yet his party seems to have won again? What’s going on?
Im not a fan of Albanese due to him largely coasting on important issues; like housing but Im not aware of the broader population thinking he was a cunt. After Morison (deeply moronic conservative who was last PM) he got job and at least was professional.
Problem is Dutton, the opposition leader just had that bad a platform. Marking yet another attempt for the coalition attempting to bring US/Trump bullshit over here, being a cop who’d disobey an international court warrant, nuclear power saga and in general just being super scarce on details for his plans as PM.
Even if I’m centre left inclined, the coalitions performance this cycle still somewhat disappointed me. A weak coalition means it’s more like for a complacent Labor party.

Nice, I’ll have to check out that site. As much as I wouldn’t want people fucking with airbnbs. Especially not in way the videos comments mention, no sir.
- Comment on Something's up with all those airbnb locks | Purplepingers 4 weeks ago:
Man that is some bad subtitling. TL;DW? Is it just a worse version of lock picking lawyer? I guess it isn’t a great idea to secure your property with a $40 Bunnings lock if so. Still surprising that one of those common locks can be defeated by a metal shim. I lost the key to a small lockbox I bought from Bunnings and “picked” the lock with the thin end of a zip tie. Criminals must love Bunnings based security.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 months ago:
That easier done with more involved scams like phone calls you see YouTubers do. Especially since they likely paid for that info. Places like here there no buy in so it’s a volume game i imagine. If I can’t get you to another platform to buy me stuff I’d move on to the next one quickly as possible.
- Comment on What is the point of the Nicole spam? 2 months ago:
The same reason a lot scam emails are riddled with typos, follow recognisable formats (eg nigerian prince) and can be easily determined as scams. If you can spot it you aren’t the mark. It’s a form of selection bias. If your recognise Nicole you probably aren’t new to Lemmy or the Fediverse and are a bad mark. I’d guess, I never followed the links, don’t generally follow links dm’d from random, days old accounts in general. Maybe Nicole truly is just thirsty for Lemmy friends and keeps getting banned lmao.

- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
just because it is used for stuff, doesn’t mean it should be used for stuff
??? What sort of logic is this? It’s also never been a matter of whether it should be used. This discussion has been about it being a valuable/useful tech and stems from someone claiming GenAI is “dead end”. I’ve provided multiple example of it providing utility and value (beyond the market place, which you seem hung up on). Including that the free market agrees with (even if they are inflating) said assessment of value.
example: certain ai companies prohibit applicants from using ai when applying
Keyword: some. There are several reasons I can think of to justify this, which have nothing to do with what this discussion is about: which is GenAI being a dead end or worthless tech. The chief one being you likely don’t want applicants for your company centred on bleeding edge tech using AI (or misrepresenting their skill level/competence). Which if anything further highlights GenAIs utility???
Lots of things have had tons of money poured into them only to end up worthless once the hype ended. Remember nfts? remember the metaverse?
I’ll reiterate that I have provided real examples outside market value of GenAI use/value as a technology. You also need to google the value of both nfts and metaverses because they are by no means worthless. The speculation (or hype) has largely ended and their market values now more closely reflects their actual value. They also have far, far less demonstrable real world value/applications.
String theory has never made a testable prediction either, but a lot of physicists have wasted a ton of time on it.
??? How is this even a relevant point or example in your mind? GenAI is not theoretical. Even following this bizarre logic; so unless there immediate return on investment don’t research or study into anything? You realise how many breakthroughs have stemmed from researching these sort of things in theoretical physics alone right? Which is entirely different discussion. Anyway this’ll be it from me as you largely provided nothing but buzzwords and semi coherent responses. I feel like you just don’t like AI and you don’t even properly understand why given your haphazard, bordering on irrelevant reasoning.
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
So no tech that blows up on the market is useful? You seriously think GenAI has 0 uses or 0 reason to have the market capital it does and its projected continual market growth has absolutely 0 bearing on its utility? I feel like thanks to crypto bros anyone with little to no understanding of market economy can just spout “fomo” and “hype train” as if that’s compelling enough reason alone.
The explosion of research into AI? It use for education? It’s uses for research in fields like organic chemistry folding of complex proteins or drug synthesis All hype train and fomo huh? Again: naive.
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
Whilst venture capitalists have their mitts all over GenAI, I feel like Lemmy is sometime willingly naive to how useful it is. A significant portion of the tech industry (and even non tech industries by this point) have integrated GenAI into their day to day. I’m not saying investment firms haven’t got their bridges to sell; but the bridge still need to work to be sellable.
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
Wow, such a compelling argument.
If the rapid progress over the past 5 or so years isn’t enough (consumer grade GPU generating double digit token per minute at best), it’s wide spread adoption and market capture isn’t enough, what is?
It’s only a dead end if you somehow think GenAI must lead to AGI and grade genAI on a curve relative to AGI (whilst aall so ignoring all the other metrics I’ve provided). Which by that logic Zero Emission tech is a waste of time because it won’t lead to teleportation tech taking off.
- Comment on Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code 2 months ago:
Yes, it means that their basic architecture must be heavily refactored. The current approach of ‘build some model and let it run on training data’ is a dead end
a dead end.
That is simply verifiable false and absurd to claim.

Right, but as you had explained ages ago by this point it isn’t going to be “unmoderated”. So pack it in.
As much as they’ve been obnoxious recently, I don’t have a problem with conservatives having a space here so I don’t think they would/should be deleted unless more of this sort of content continues.

- Comment on Too many young people find doing a day's work 'stressful', says Liz Kendall 2 months ago:
Exactly, I know the type because I’m related to similar. Looks down on such work, would never do such work but everyone else is lazy because they won’t do it. Classic.
- Comment on Too many young people find doing a day's work 'stressful', says Liz Kendall 2 months ago:
I don’t know the career of this particularly woman but a politician ragging on the work ethic of anyone is hilarious.
What statistic is she basing this on, any or just her feelings? Just go work at a grocery store? Maybe she should ask these “managers” who’s she’s basing this opinion on what their turn around on employees is, what their wages and guaranteed hours are. The opinion of managers on the work ethic of anyone means less than shit to me having met at least one manager in my life and having work retail/hospo before.
Pretty easy to advocate for “young” people to go work shitkicker jobs in retail and hospo when you sit at a desk in air con all day for a living. I know if I lost my current career I sure as fuck won’t go back.

Didn’t go back to reddit and am not trans but I just wanted say, otherwise your journey has been exactly the same as mine! From Kbin to lemm.ee and RIP apollo indeed. There’s a lot of trans friendly comms and instances in general. 196 may be a familiar name and the blahaj instance in general seems trans friendly. Depends on what type of comms you’re looking for. Check out voyager if you haven’t already, very reminiscent of Apollo. Welcome back.

This average covers all ages, situations (fatigue) etc. I seriously doubt the average commute can see, interpret and then apply brakes 0.1s. Average reaction times for for a video game is over 200ms lmao.

Australia without the hysterics and put some cold, hard facts into the debate.
Sure here’s one this “journo” conveniently left out. Stopping distance is a function of speed and the relationship is essentially exponential. At 110km/h the stopping distance is approximately 113-143 meters. Hope you see that roo quick enough.

Not sure why this clown (in training) wasn’t just deported back to the US. Guess the state wanted to make sure she was charged so she didn’t duck responsibility. Ah well, she’ll have a tale to tell when she gets deported at the end of her sentence I guess.
