  Isn’t Pinterest just Instagram for food and knickknacks? I never used either…

  They were more subtle about it but they’ve been there from the start. Now they’re just more vocal.

  Isn’t that pixelfed?

  And a kid can insist they don’t need to pee until 5min after you leave a rest stop.

  Insisting upon something doesn’t make it true. Beyond the fact that LLMs often hallucinate and therefore can’t be trusted at baseline, text in response can never be proof for an LLM. LLM framework is to regurgitate what exists in their training in ways that sound correct. It’s why they can make up court cases or say a guy who investigated certain murderers is the murderer.

  I mean it just has to be within reason unless you eat and drink only the same stuff all the time shit can vary considerably. They’re both pieces of shit in this story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨venomous⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Solenodons have a modified salivary gland and a sort of channel for the venom, related fossils show full on hollow teeth similar a snake.

  The slow loris mixes their sweat with their saliva(both saliva and sweat are toxic).

  However in both cases I’m not sure about the molecular details of toxin production. E.g. whether the loris or solenodon just carry certain bacteria that make the toxin or whether they produce from their own cells.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨venomous⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The loris and the solenodon have toxic saliva. The rat is controversial as it slathers chewed up poison dart tree on itself so hairs absorb it but it doesn’t produce venom/poison itself. Not sure of any “venom missiles” from mammals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨venomous⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Show loris(big eyes), African crested rat(spiky hair), Cuban solenodon(shrew like thing), and of course the platypus.

  I do want an imitation voice, because I want new people. I don’t want to hear the voices of the dead just because companies don’t want to pony up. I’m ready for the next JEJ but that’ll never happen if the industry dies because companies have just been reusing AI voices instead of hiring anyone.

  AI should be used for tedious tasks not creative ones.

  US still pay better than a lot of other countries relatively speaking and despite Republicans our level of open corruption is still lower than many others at least for now.

  AlphaFold still a big deal, was big part of reason behind recent Nobel Prizes. Used (and misused) by a lot of scientists.

  Lentils aren’t beans, and daal is as British as tacos are American by that logic.

  Are any of the British preps actually spicy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy Shitpost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean this is the internet so no one is stopping you from making false statements. But also refried beans are just one type of Mexican bean preparation.

  Unplanned crash, lots of unpredictable trajectory changes when/if things break off not to mention entry angle likely isn’t the one designed.

  We know its crashing because of detection systems but trajectory predicting is a lot harder once it reenters atmosphere.

  You asked for spoilers so I’m not tagging them. Iron man dies, Captain America retires, black widow dies, antman joins in. There’s some wonky parallel world time travel hijinks. Think those are all the big ones.

  1. Shipping probably already started.

  Gold, silver, etc was not valuable until we had a society that had currency. In societal collapse we’re back to bartering and Gold is worthless except as a fancy trinket. The value of gold is a status symbol of having so much you can give away actual value for frivolous bullshit. The average peasant farmer can’t make use of it.
