If you insist. Would you be so kind as to stop commenting on my comment then as well?
- Comment on [deleted] 14 hours ago:
Why do you do this?
- Comment on [deleted] 14 hours ago:
Why?
- Comment on [deleted] 14 hours ago:
Do you not want answers? I didn’t mind the question, I just think you need to refine what you’re taking about.
- Comment on [deleted] 14 hours ago:
What even is AI? You love diffusion based image generation? Global parameter transformer text generation? Good old fashioned optimizers? The category of AI seems to broad for your statement to make sense.
- Comment on Researchers unveil LegoGPT, an AI model that designs physically stable Lego structures from text prompts and currently supports eight standard brick types 3 days ago:
They’re just built with 1 by X bricks. But I kinda like that, it’s not replacing anything a person would design. I think I’d prefer a program that would take a 3d model as in input instead of a text prompt, but both are cool.
- Comment on It would be fire if Anonymous hacked ICE 3 days ago:
I thought anonymous was anyone who wants to be. In which case, lots of programmers on Lemmy, get on it!
- Comment on Solar panels cleaning solar panels 1 week ago:
They using compressed air? Or water? I don’t see a tank for water. But very cool!
- Comment on Zelenskyy vows to make Russia “feel the war” as missile program heats up 1 week ago:
I hope that doesn’t mean Ukraine will bombing civilians directly. I know Russia has been doing it since day one, but it doesn’t make it right to do.
- Comment on What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge? 2 weeks ago:
hexos.com is also trying to be a low skill low effort version of truenas, but it does have a one time payment. I didn’t think you’d need a nas specific OS for just one storage laptop though, it’s more meant for large home storage servers.
- Comment on China's wind, solar capacity exceeds thermal power for first time, energy regulator says 2 weeks ago:
Solar capacity is it’s peek output, not it’s average. So they still have a long way to go before solar makes up more power generation than thermal. But it’s a good step!
- Comment on Walkies? 2 weeks ago:
Mine gets so exited they won’t stay still long though to get the leash on to actualy go on a walk!
- Comment on The youtube algorithm is so bad, I say to my screen "why the fuck would I care about this!?" like 10 times a day. 2 weeks ago:
The source is available, right? You just can’t fork it to include ads? Or you can’t fork it at all?
- Comment on What would the world look like if every worker got together and Unionized for a universale wage that helps everyone? Instead of one country trying to screw over another? 3 weeks ago:
You’d need a world wide government to tax and distribute for that, right? So that government would need to have control of every over country, like the EU on a larger scale. That seems unlikely to happen without violence, but I guess it would work if every worker in the world was suddenly in support of it.
- Comment on The therapy I can afford 3 weeks ago:
Would not recommend, it’ll regurgitate what you want to hear.
- Comment on We're on the wrong timeline! 3 weeks ago:
AI companies are looking at nuclear, so we might get a check on the top right box soon.
Three Mile Island is reopening and selling its power to Microsoft
- Comment on Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction 3 weeks ago:
Since the emissions in the lifecycle of a wind turbine are from the energy used, the time period lasted would also be when it breaks even on CO2 emissions.
As for destroying energy, that’s just the efficiency, the other 60% is wasted as heat.
- Comment on Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction 3 weeks ago:
I’m for getting rid of coal and gas entirely, the grid doesn’t need to be that diverse.
- Comment on Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction 3 weeks ago:
Can’t deny facts, only hide from them and live in fantasy world.
Btw, I do agree nuclear is great. But we need as much of both as we can get.
- Comment on Trump administration orders halt to in-progress wind farm construction 3 weeks ago:
- Comment on If all the money in the world can only make you look as good as elon musk or jeff bezos there is truly some things money can't buy. 3 weeks ago:
I mean, he used to look like this
- Comment on When I sleep in I have feature-length dreams. 4 weeks ago:
They stay coherent for that long? My dreams can’t keep a story line going, always running down rabbit holes.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 4 weeks ago:
The scary thing is we have no clue. But they do seem to be racist in their targeting, so if you look white, I’d imagine you’d have a much lower risk.
- Comment on Trump Admin Considering Giving $10,000 To Each Person In Greenland To Annex The Island 4 weeks ago:
That’d be about half a billion dollars overall. Crazy thing is with the massive unpopularity of being annexed, I think even with a $10k bribe most people would still be against it.
- Comment on Our Intentions to join Fedecan 4 weeks ago:
Sounds good, but I hope there’s robust protections in place against it becoming for profit if it grows big enough. If we overtake Reddit eventually, there’s some potential profit that will need to be turned down.
- Comment on How does one snap their fingers? 5 weeks ago:
It’s impressive he can snap with a metal gauntlet, I wouldn’t think it’d give enough friction with the metal on metal.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 5 weeks ago:
Which is why they’re upping the prices.
- Comment on What if the Earth rotated 90 degrees? 5 weeks ago:
That’s also a great demonstration of how map projections distort things.
- Comment on Trump hits UK with 10% tariffs as he ignites global trade war 5 weeks ago:
This is actually the lowest of the tariffs, a blanket 10% on every country except those that are higher. It’s crazy. I wonder if this’ll kill anything not coming direct to consumer under the de minimis threshold. Unless they go though with eliminating that too.
- Comment on Israel’s Genocide Has Reportedly Killed More Journalists Than WWI and WWII Combined 1 month ago:
Fewer than 232 journalists were killed in WWI and WWII? 50 to 57 million civilians were killed in WWII, were fewer than 200 of them journalists? I can’t find the total number of journalists in 1940, but with that number you could estimate the percentage of the population and multiply by 50M.
