WHAT THE FUCK IS “POLLUTION”!?

including large volumes of unburned methane

Ooooh. Yeah, that’s bad. Methane is a pretty bad greenhouse gas.

Would a commercial with Jesus on the cross saying he is thirsty and having a Roman Soldier pass him an ice cold Coca Cola be better?

I tried it using Sora, but “This content can’t be shown for now. We’re still developing how we evaluate which content conflicts with our policies. Think we got it wrong? Let us know.”

This was the prompt:

Give me a Coca Cola commercial where Jesus has been nailed to a cross, and says “I’m thirsty”, after which a Roman Soldier passes him an ice cold Coca Cola.

I tried replacing “Jesus” with a man, but no dice :(

Christmas celebrations

Christmas is more of a cultural celebration than a Christian one, and thus not political.

I’m atheist, but I still celebrate Christmas, because it’s a good excuse to gather friends and family, and have some fun together.

Pride is a political movement - or did they not fight for the rights of LGBT people? Flags are inherently political. Flying a flag signals allegiance and identity, which are political at their core.

This makes pride month political.

Being Lesbian/Gay/Bi/Transgender isn’t political in and of itself, but movements are.

I like LLMs. Instead of making a racket, I just use them, which may make it seem like everyone on Lemmy hates LLMs.

Eh, I liked it for explaining how people can behave differently.

It doesn’t have much predictive power, and thus is bad science, but I like its descriptive power. I also think it’s a bad idea to see it as a quaterny (binary, trinery, …) instead of a spectrum. Same with being introverted/extraverted - that’s a spectrum as well, IMO.

OK, and? A car doesn’t run like a horse either, yet they are still very useful.

I’m fine with the distinction between human reasoning and LLM “reasoning”.

If your ISP is blocking this website, set a DNS in windows to 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare), 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 (Google), 9.9.9.9 (Quad9), https://www.dns0.eu/, or DNS4EU.

Yes, blocking certain sites is done in the Netherlands, due to Stichting BREIN using/abusing our legal system. Nobody likes them, but it is what it is.

PS: I’m using rargb, since it hasn’t been blocked (yet - BREIN has to sue per website being blocked).

Yes.

Possibly

I’ve seen the list on the party site. Only 3 .edu, 0 .gov emails.

they were older then me at the time.

The an hero kid was 14 at the time (for context).

Disney vs Musk when?

OP responded that he microwaved bowl and plate, and that some plastic melted and fused them both.

@Theo@lemmy.world - can we get an after picture?

“Have you read your SICP today?” still rings in my head, occasionally.

Refactoring

Once you know how to write code (in any language) it’s important to learn how to rewrite it (into something better)

Test-Driven Development with Python

Because manually stepping through your code is a PITA, so it’s better to put that process into code that you can save and re-run without thinking about it.

Head first java

Any of the Head First series are great introduction books. Head First Design Patterns is great to learn programming patterns that you can typically re-use in any language :D

Fundamentals of Software Architecture

Haven’t read this one, but learning about architecture is important so you can keep your UI, logic and data layers separate, so when you need to replace one layer (like the UI, because the boss wants a refresh), you don’t need to pull out all your hairs due to frustration!

Domain Driven Design

I don’t do DDD (at least not consciously), but understanding what a domain is really really important once you need to talk to business people (not something I like, but it’s necessary to write the right code).

Neuromancer

“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” is such a banger of a first line. Outdated, because “dead channel” won’t make sense to younger kids, but I bet they’ll get a kick out of learning about how TVs used to be.

It was not your fault. <3

If we’re lucky they were used to harvest stem cells, I guess (though now we can turn skin cells into stem cells IIRC)

big yellow skips

A trash container? I’m neither Bri’ish, or 'Murican, so I have no idea 😂
