• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fooling a self-driving car with mirrors on traffic cones⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  This feels like it could be exactly the type of thing that causes the car crash in the pilot episode of the Upload TV series.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Lemmy output horribly invalid HTML?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  This wsa considered in the earlier days of the web, but then intentionally not enforced. HTML was specifically designed to not fall into the same scheme as most programming languages in that it should try to render what it could even if there was a lot going wrong (unlike most programming languages that try to fail fast).

  (And before someone comes after me for comparing HTML to programming languages, I am well aware that it is not Turing complete.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The problem with overeating is that it feels really good⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  To be honest, this just sounds like sugar shock. If your blood sugar rises too fast for insulin to be able to counteract it, then you start getting symptoms like drowsiness, fatigue, and “high-ness.” This can feel good, but it is basically doing damage to your brain, so I am not sure that this would be good long term. Then again, I suppose the same can be said for (hard) drugs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is a limit how much power the pedal assist of an e-Bike is allowed to provide (at least in many countries). There is no limit though on how strong the exoskeletton is that you use on a regular b⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Laws are created by humans. What a surprise that there isn’t already a law forbidding something that human common sense tells you not to do.

  That being said, I would love to see a video of somebody wearing an exosceleton pedalling away like crazy on a normal bycicle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a particularly informed comment, but I always figured because people started getting scared of the Christian god, so they started turning towards other religions. As a consequence, the Christian church needed to figure out how to make Christianity a bit more approachable, so the new testament and forgiveness were created.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why can't a PC-laptop boot without datetime?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I am fairly certain that I have had a PC before that had exactly the issue that the CMOS battery ran out. It was able to boot just fine, I just couldn’t get it to connect to the internet properly. Took me ages to figure out that the date and time in the OS were completely wrong, because I never really use my computer as a clock anyways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I stop sleeping through everything?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, sometimes having too many alarms can actually lead to alarm blindness where the person does not really recognize the alarms as important and just subconssciousely turns them into background noise.

  That being said, I still think at least in the short term this is a good idea. In the longer term, do you make sure that you are really well rested? I.e. the 15 minutes of boredom trick? (Do absolutely nothing for 15 minutes. You should get really bored. If you can manage to stay awake even through 15 minutes of boredom, then you are well rested, if not you need more sleep)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if "you are what you eat", and you only eat vegans, you're both vegan and not at the same time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I am glad to have lived in a time in history where I could witniss this exchange.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Touch grass… and make local friends. People you know in real life; know their families. Most people are not nearly as bad as the world makes it seem at the moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention the fact that an asteroid that large would also start exerting its own (noticeable) gravitaional field when it gets this close to earth. Although I guess you kind of already covered that with the tsunamis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To play devils advocate here: So you help tide the people over that are carelessly thrown away by the disfunctional US government. Just so they can go back to doing what the government wants once the government starts paying them again? I would say these people need to learn not to trust the government and find jobs elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Before modern-day authoritarian regimes, did people living under abosolute monarchies talk criticize the monarchs? Or did they just stay silent in fear of persecution?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they were referring to criticizing the US government, not PRC. In an effort to keep free speech around in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How could I order a package without my parents finding it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And here I was being confused why some person’s parents would get so angry at them for buying computer parts from their own money. I see I was not cultured enough to understand the true question at hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would **Nothing Nowhere All Seperately** be the prequel or sequel to **Everything Everywhere All At Once**?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And also a great name for a movie in the Everything Everywhere All at Once series. I don’t really mind if it would be prequel or sequel though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video call apps should have a baby/toddler mode that locks the touch screen⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This. There are ways to do this they are just fairly hidden. Because if they are not inevitably people activate them by mistake and then have a rather difficult time figuring out how to turn it off again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a good way to check if all photos on google photos are locally saved on my own phone⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess we need to open a new community nostupidanswers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is also why there is a lot of work being done on room-temperature (-ish at least) supervonductors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If reincarnation exists, you could do the same thing the next life and have no memories of it. Think of all the bad things that happened to you, it can happen OVER AND OVER AGAIN!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For those interested, this is in many ways teh premise of Buddhism. At least trying to break this reincarnation circle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Space colonization would create so many jobs for everyone. Not great jobs but jobs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This exact same phenomenon already happens in real life to astronauts though. So if space colonization were to occur in real life, this would totally happen in reality as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the origin of the whole "X destroys and humilates Y" genre of debate videos?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Unrelated, but how do you write big text into a comment on lemmy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are no laws! We made the whole thing up!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exacly this, all of pur societally functioning things are based on our exceptance of enforcing rules upon purselves. Without laws, you can’t have human rights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Religious texts contributed to the em-dashes that chatbots use.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And also, in my understanding religions are supposed to help the general populace live a more fullfilled life and get to a better end result. So in this case it should be fair to put forth eminent domain (or whatever the text equivalent would be) for both the original texts and the translations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do drug cartels let the US and other countries "catch" their shipments? Like the US caught 1 billion of drugs over here while we ship 6 billion worth of drugs over there?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel obligied to make the stupid comment that of course drug cartels ship drugs into the US. In fact it is done completely legally, by US pharmaceutical corporations. Isn’t this why we had the whole opioid crisis?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let people communicate however works well for them. Especially, if it increases speed/productivity. And even if not, it will raise workplace morale, which in turn will most likely increase production again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't Food Network do product placement in there shows? Would they not earn more money by a host saying I use this hot sauce name drop but you can use whatever?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely true, and yet wonehow we also ended up with commercial breaks in movies on streaming platforms on top of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If men had babies instead of women? Men would probably just all get C sections because everyone knows people have to keep being born.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Off topic, but I would be terrified having to log in with that username.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The better comparison would be to say that solar power panels are a complete design mistake because they get hot when in the sun thus hampering their function. Yes, it is not perfect, but it still works way better than nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And even then most of the ones that made it through/past the immune system are still eventually fought off again by the immune system. I.e. you don’t have to take an external antibiotic for every cold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how are you able to care more about your job itself than the people at your job?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I missing something or is OP just posting the same question again in the same community a few days later? How new…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The line between what is ai and what is programming will be very blurred in the future⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I laughed and cried too much about this.
