1mm^3 is a couple terabytes in jyst connections rhe largets ai models as of present are nowhere even near that.

How much brain tho? There is significant evidance that mycelium in large forests is significant simmillar to a brain to exhibit some intelligence. What if we grow artificial neuron in a petri dish and teach it to play doom? What if we map and simulate a cubic mm of human brain is stopping that simulation akin to killing it? What about if its a full brain simulation? What if its an artificial intellgence indistinguishable from a human intellgence? Wait gpt4o is already smarter than a large amount of kids and is arguably an indistinguishable intellgence so should be give rights to ai or say its ok to kill dumb kids?

Well the vegans have a few critical issues with their logic.
The average vegan diet actually kills more animals due to pesticides, monocrop agriculture, soil quality degradation, etc etc than that of that of an omnivorous diet. But nobody cares about this because who cares that a couple trillion bugs, beetles, spiders, worms etc died when a couple million cute fluffy little animals died. If it was about saving life then they could do more by not getting a smartphone u know how many human child slaves died to make this thing?
The environmental impact is a mute point because we physically do not globally have enough existing farmland that can support the crops required to produce enough protein sustainably, eg u can farm cattle on a million acres of half desert good luck growing crops their.
Then their the whole evolution argument. We beat every single animal in the African planes not because we where smarter fasted stronger better but because more calories = bigger brain = smarter, we got said additional calories because we discovered 2 things. Smack bone with rock get marrow. 2 put meat in fire more calories. We literally won evolution because we can eat meat more efficiently than other animals could.
Then their is the whole consent thing. Bees can up a leave a hive at any point they want, they do not because they pay honey taxes to the smart monkeys who in exchange offer absolute protection. Bees consented to us eating their honey therefore honey is vegan.
Then u get to the point where u realise evolutionarily most of the species we eat we artificially created and protected putting them in the most successfull evolutionary niche in the history of our planet. That being human support class ie food. Are we using them or are they using us? It looks like a symbiotic relationship to me. Whats the difference between this and the bacteria in my gut cos i sure as shit didnt ask my shit if it consented to be my literal fucking shit.
And finally the pro lifer chicken argument. Why cant u kill a non fertilised chicken egg but u can kill a fertilised human egg? Is it the consent of the eggs creator thats required? Chickens dont exist naturally they are an artificial species that we created so i guess if we can consent to eat a chickens egg on behalf of the chicken really depends on what came first the chicken or the egg?

If we want lemmy more mainstream then the interface needs to handle this itself we can’t expect normies to go do this themselves.

Have u tried tiny 11. And Chris Titus debloater can kill a lot of crap with those as it removes most of the shit.
Have u considered running windows in a vm or using github.com/casualsnek/cassowary
- Comment on I just had an idea that people smarter than me have probably had long before I heard of Lemmy.....but I don't see it implemented, so I'm sharing it anyways!!! 3 days ago:
The solution is post tagging ive seen some discussion on implementation but i dont believe it federates with mastodon tags.

Man i dont think u quite understand or on lemmy a federated foss environment with no ads. Usually when advertising as u are u have something to offer people that they want. What are u offering us that the rest of the fediverse doesnt have.

- Comment on FEP-7952: Roadmap for Actor and Object Portability 4 days ago:
From my understanding of this it means client side signing of actions would be supported?
It seems that accounts (actor objects) can now just be a static file hosted anywhere which lowers the bar for entry of self hosting. Id love to see something about supporting .onion addresses when looking up this file would allow self hosted anonymous identity while not requiring support for a whole instance as a hidden service.

- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
This policy/ideology is the whole reason i ditched .world and came here. Im worried about what happens when a big instance decides to implements a secondary defederation policy ie they will defederate unless u defederate everyone they defederated. I recon .ml will do this when they start to lose control of the narrarive.
- Comment on Making ends meat: Australians can save up to $20 a kg [on meat] by changing where they shop 1 week ago:
Allegedly they where complaining about improper use of their api. Btw did u know that their api is very easy to reverse engineer and they issue a new api key as a cookie every time u visit the consumer website.

Just wait till u find out that food is on average 30% cheaper at aldi in general. Did u know that if u write a bot that pulls all the data from the online stores for woolies/coles/aldi and upload that data in a big comparison table to rhw intent then woolies will send u a cease and desist.
- Comment on Does the Coalition’s case for nuclear power stack up? We factcheck seven key claims 1 week ago:
Hell no they got no chance delivering it on time and on budget but thats literally every single government project in the history of government projects.
- Comment on Does the Coalition’s case for nuclear power stack up? We factcheck seven key claims 1 week ago:
Well then the coalition are fucking morons then. Have they actually said what they are going to use? Thw guardian references SMRs cos thats the only one that was included in the csiro report despite not a single watt of power being generate by them ask the csiro why they did this?
- Comment on Does the Coalition’s case for nuclear power stack up? We factcheck seven key claims 1 week ago:
Facts all of it. References go look at said csiro report then go look at the style of the majority of nuclear reactors ever build in human history and explain to me why csiro neglected to include the most popular most built most experienced design style in human history. The rest of what I said is simply pointing out that the guardian is using a completely fair and justified lib bashing campaign to bash the single good thing the libs included.
Its just me bing pissed at the current media and most peoples inability to recognise that some of the ideas by people u disagree with are good ideas. And some of the ideas of people u agree with are bad. Why are we picking teams then blindly supporting out team while blindly bashing the other team. Take the good ideas from both ridicule the bad from both and we will be in a far better place.
- Comment on Does the Coalition’s case for nuclear power stack up? We factcheck seven key claims 1 week ago:
Basically anythibg that isnt SMR like what the French and Japanese have been doing for years.
- Comment on Does the Coalition’s case for nuclear power stack up? We factcheck seven key claims 1 week ago:
This is complete shit. The quote the csiro analysis that neglected the cheapest and most widespread nuclear reactor design because it doesnt fit the narrative. The rest of the article is spent bashing the rest of their energy policy which seems pretry fair to me. This headline is completely inaccurate. Just because they rest of the colitis ions policy is shit why bash thw one good thing about it in ur headline like its the be all and end all. If i though the guardian had brains then i might say they are doing this maliciously but they aren’t bright enough for that.
- Comment on Let's chat about these SEVEN nuclear power plants the LNP want to build ... 1 week ago:
Liquid salt is good for small heigh density systems mainly submarines. SMR is bullshit and far more expensive that other reactors (mainly due to the lack of expertise or good designs available). SMR is the silicon valley tech bro bs reactor. We gotta stop fuckin around and go to Japan or France and be like hey here’s a couple billion we like that one put it here.
- Comment on Let's chat about these SEVEN nuclear power plants the LNP want to build ... 1 week ago:
Nuclear is fucking awsome and had the ability to fix our energy issues. There is strong evidance that the oil corporations are actually responsible for manufacturing nuclear fear narrative because it poses an actually economically viable alternative.
Thats not to mention the CSIRO who access tally forgot to include the most economically viable nuclear energy method of there analysis of “all” energy production methods. So much for independence.

Its transparent in its operation allows u to see what its thinking and catch errors and use ur own fine tuning that isn’t censored.

Its not chatgpt that’s just default config u can use the API endpoint to point to any chatgpt api compatible llm. Its can utilise ddg to search for web results then gives u an answer based on that. Most importantly it shows u the full log and u get to read it as it happens like bingAI but transparent so checking it is right there. I’ll add some screenshots to the readme.
