• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am looking to broaden my youtube channels that I follow. What female channel are you following?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Food / cooking:

  • www.youtube.com/@imamuroom She used to do a lot of bento boxes but has since switched to regular home cooking. Good for getting meal inspirations.
  • www.youtube.com/@AcreHomestead She does a lot of “meal prep” style videos and food preservation, including lots of freezer meals. Also good for inspiration.
  • www.youtube.com/@Doobydobap She has a few long-ish videos that give a good high level overview of Korean cooking. The majority of the channel is more vlog-like but I’ve only watched her cooking videos.
  • www.youtube.com/@CSaffitz Mostly does desserts. Her recipes tend to be on the more complex side. I’d look to her if I really want to perfect a recipe.

  Others:

  • www.youtube.com/@theleanbeefpatty Gym videos. More of a mindless entertainment channel than informational. She has a pet pig.
  • www.youtube.com/@Caroline_Winkler Interior design. She has a peculiar sense of humor that’s not quite my style, but the information is good.

  I’d add that they also have your roommate at knife point. I don’t think it changes the answer too much, but it’s closer to the scenario that OP is probably thinking about.

  Absence of moderation is in itself a form of censorship.

  Where did all your pipes and wiring go? What insulates the building?

  Like father, like son.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the idea is that you keep the layout as simple as possible such that you don’t need any code for it, css or otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube Will Add an AI Slop Button Thanks to Google’s Veo 3⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with the subscription feed is that it shows you every channel that you’re subscribed to. If I only want to see cooking videos for example, then it has to be through the standard YouTube recommendations page. What it needs is the ability to manually group channels and let us choose which set of channels we want to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a medieval equivalent of the youtube channel "Primative Technology"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This reads like a Google AI summary. I love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not reading any anger in their message. Seems like a pretty innocent joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My days pretty much consist entirely of work, chores, gym, spending time with my kid, and sleeping. If not for the flexibility I get from work, I don’t think I’d ever be able to do groceries.

  Anyone want to take a capsaicin pill for science?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is empathy based on a financial bell curve?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what you’re observing is the interplay between two variables with opposing correlation with respect to wealth:

  1. Having empathy
  2. Ability to display empathy

  Poorer people might have more empathy, but their ability to show it is inhibited because of lack of resources (time/energy/material). Wealthier people may have all the means to display empathy, but they’re less incentivized to do so. At some point in the middle, you get a sweet spot where there’s both sufficient desire and ability to do good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people hate drinking water?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Growing up, I didn’t like water either because I didn’t like the taste. No one around me could understand how I could dislike it because water supposedly tastes like nothing. BUT IT DOESN’T. WATER HAS FLAVOUR. Anyway, I later figured out that filtered tap water tastes a lot better than the bottled kind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - Dexerto⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe the main cost is in hosting all the videos. A lot of them are probably junk that were never meant to see the light of day. I certainly use it as an extra backup for many of my videos with no context and random UUID titles.

  For everything else, a potential solution is to have everyone come in with their own videos hosted elsewhere and the platform just integrated with a bunch of APIs for fetching and serving those videos. For small time creators, the cost should be fairly low to none since a lot of platforms allow you to store a small number of files for free.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I created WhereToPost. The goal is to help find the right community for specific content.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is your opposition to AI in general or generative AI? Because there’s absolutely no need for generative AI here.

  I won’t have an opportunity to watch a video for a while, so maybe the answer is clearer with that context, but I don’t have it right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I created WhereToPost. The goal is to help find the right community for specific content.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the purpose of the bot is to help you find people to interact with, I think so. In my case, I’ve already made the space, but there’s no one to interact with. I don’t know if it’s a matter of no one on Lemmy having the same interests or that they don’t know that the community exists. A bot/person to redirect people there would at least rule out the possibility of the latter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I created WhereToPost. The goal is to help find the right community for specific content.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the problems with Lemmy right now is that it’s hard to find people with similar interests to connect and exchange ideas with. It doesn’t need to be perfectly optional, but an improvement would be nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I created WhereToPost. The goal is to help find the right community for specific content.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are there people who want to do it manually? If so, that’ll be ideal, but otherwise, it’s a perfect use case for automation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To me that means an autonomous being that understands what it is.

  A little thought experiment: How would you determine whether another human being understands what it is? What would that look like in a machine?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AGI achieved 🤖⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I’m concerned, “intelligence” basically just means the ability to do things that we consider to be difficult. So it’s both very hand-wavy and a constantly moving goalpost. So a hypothetical pacman ghost is intelligent before we’ve figured out how to do it. After it’s been figured out and implemented, it ceases to be intelligent but we continue to call it intelligent for historical reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I drag my feet when it's time to start a new task even if I know I'll enjoy it once I get started?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can understand some negative sentiment in contexts where it’s used dismissively (e.g. “I’m [self-diagnosed] autistic and I don’t have this issue, so you’re obviously just a bad person”), or if you use it as an excuse to be a shitty person. Although I’d say that a professional diagnosis wouldn’t make any of these scenarios better.

  In your case, you’re experiencing problems and you’re trying to solve them. A self diagnosis helps a lot in narrowing down what the causes could be and help you prioritize different potential solutions to try. It makes no sense to handicap yourself and try to fix things like a neurotypical person when you have good reason to believe you’re not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would it take to make Gemini suitable to be president of the world?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think if you ask “what would an ideal world president look like?”, you’ll get an answer to your question. The qualities that make for a good human leader should be the same as that which make a good AI leader.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are you here and not on Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The main reason is that they took away my preferred app, and the official app is excessively noisy (visually) to the point that I just can’t parse anything on the screen without huge effort. Doom scrolling is supposed to be brain off time, not brain work extra hard time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The kid actually answered the question. The teacher’s expected response is basically “no, your question is wrong and I refuse to answer it.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've started playing The Witcher. No, not the good one.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t expect my decisions to actually affect anything when I played it. Big surprise when I just clicked every dialogue option and things went poorly.

  You can also load your save file into the second game and have that affect the story in minor ways, which I thought was pretty cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If a government raises taxes for something so that working class people cannot buy it, that government becomes richer by exploiting the working class.

  1. If the working class cannot buy it, then they are not getting taxed. If the government is making more money from implementing that taxation scheme, then all that money has to come from those who are wealthier than the working class.
  2. You only become richer if you hold on to the money. The government’s job is to spend that money to the benefit of its constituents, not hoard money.

  In the past there have been ice ages while the atmospheric CO2 level was 10 times higher than it is now.

  Implying we want another ice age?

  The notion that eating insects will save the world seems a little dubious.

  I agree

  Legally, yes. But laws get broken all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When someone starts complaining about what bathroom everyone is using, you can’t just ignore it and hope it goes away. It’s your job as their superior to address these issues.

  Similarly,

  Their gender/identity should have absolutely zero impact on the ability to do their job.

  Making this stance clear requires talking about gender identity and politics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨science never ends⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also the “science” that is your policy choices (personal or public policy) based on the science(n) and your values, risk tolerance, and lifestyle. Since the latter factors can change a lot over time, these policies can also fluctuate wildly and give the impression that “science” fluctuates wildly.
