I don’t read my replies
If you invented something unique your first problem is going to be describing it to yourself. You’ll need new nomenclature. The second problem is describing the unique thing to someone else.
One could argue that anything that can be nailed down by language cannot be unique because the metaphors and phrases to describe it preexisted.
I’d rather be on the Ukrainian front than any place accurately represented by Blood Meridian.
Waland is the British half of the mega corp Waland-Yutani. Sometimes called Wa-Yu, or simply “the company”
Founded by Charles Bishop Wayland, the totally not evil billionaire industrialist, Wayland LLC was known for energy production, computer technology, and planetary terraforming before it was acquired in a hostile takeover by the Japanese Yutani corp in 2099.
Neat. Put the embassy in Jerusalem.

Russel’s paradox is so wild. Set theory was supposed to unify mathematics and logic into a single coherent system and Russel was like actually, no.
Netanyahu picked a bad time to provoke Biden while the pro-Israel republicans have neutered by the antisemitic hard right.
Biden has pressure from his left to call for a ceasefire and little political upside to supporting Israel. Any other year, the Republicans would be howling about how Biden is soft on Terrorism, or weak on Israel, but the Krazy KauKus is standing on the throats of that kind of conservative.
Netanyahu’s strategy of relying on support from Christian Nationalists while ignoring Jewish Americans may not have been wise.
I’ve been on Lemmy since June and I haven’t once seen a video of a dude punching a girl. It always made me queasy that shit was soooo popular on reddit.
When I finished reading Blood Meridian I said WTF, turned to the first page and read it again.
Been using WM pickup service since the start of the pandemic. I’ve a browser that flushes cookies, so I have to sign in every time I order. They demand 2FA, but I discovered if I had $20 or $30 of groceries in my cart before I signed in, all of a sudden a password was enough.
Also the quality has gone down steadily the whole time I’ve used them. Dented cans, old eggs and wilted produce. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t buy anything fresh from them unless I can’t get it elsewhere.
Like almost any marginalized group, atheists get caricatured by their most vocal members.
I probably would have become atheist a decade sooner if I hadn’t associated it with the logocentric, Western chauvinist, and plain old bigots who first represented atheism to me.
There are plenty of us who aren’t obsessed with religious debates; we don’t hate religious people; and our cultural, political, and philosophical ideas are not frozen in 18th Century Europe.
This is Spinal Tap (1984)
when the courts operate on the basis of “innocent until proven guilty”.
This is a slogan, a hypothetical that applies to a spherical defendant in a vacuum. In over 90% of all US criminal convictions, the prosecution has no burden of proof.
The kid was blown away by the modem. For those who don’t know it’s a cradle type dial up modem where you place the (land line) phone on a receiver instead of plugging the computer into the cat4. You could get up to 150 bits per second on one of those bad boys.
There was a time when you could learn something by watching his channel. But I unsubbed when every other episode was about his wife, his house, or some personal shit about his employees. Get the fuck out with that parasocial shit.
Democracy and technology? You’re thinking of Taiwan.

Finally caught a *grammar cop doing a typo in the wild. Pure joy.
You really think that infrastructure IT is dumb unless it can brush off a Stuxnet-like attack by the CIA and Mosad? Most RR traffic signals in the US are run with mechanical logic, physical switches connected to circuits closed by steel wheels on steel tracks. Do you really want a “move fast and break things” tech bro to update all this stuff for us?
All kinds of infrastructure uses ancient software because it’s reliable. Updating it just to protect from hackers causing damage is likely to cause that damage unintentionally while doing little to protect from hackers anyhow.
When you’re creating something new, production is research. We can’t expect Dr. Frankenstein to be unbiased, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have insights worth knowing.
LLM are pretty new, how many experts even exist outside of the industry?
Standards for journalism are impossibly low. Standards for media criticism don’t exist.
Paying for news? lol
