I didn’t get it until your comment, so you’ve got that in me.

laranis@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you succumb to the urge to stop the microwave a few seconds before it actually stops ?1·13 days agoNo, your comment was perfectly in context. I was nominating it as a perfect addition to an all time greatest list of post that, out of context, are amazing.
laranis@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you succumb to the urge to stop the microwave a few seconds before it actually stops ?2·14 days agoOnly if I’m standing across the room and my brain calculates that the time it takes to close the distance is within the time remaining on the countdown and I get to do a badass flip, twirl, and slide to stop it just in the nick of time so I get to pretend I have super hero level reflexes.
I cannot do badass flips but the point still stands. I can twirl and slide though, as long as I’m wearing socks.

laranis@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the most unexpectedly useful item you've ever bought under $20?2·18 days agoGreat recommendation and knife user therapy in one post. Thanks!
laranis@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•We need to stop pretending AI is intelligentEnglish15·21 days agoBe careful… If you get in an accident I guaran-god-damn-tee you they will use it as an excuse not to pay out. Maybe after a lawsuit you’d see some money but at that point half of it goes to the lawyer and you’re still screwed.
laranis@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How many of you use Lemmy and ONLY use Lemmy vs Reddit?2·28 days agoSeconded. But… Sometimes the only place I can find the answer to an obscure issue I’m having is a comment on a nine year old reddit post six responses deep.
I do find it with Kagi, but I still feel dirty every time.

laranis@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Wikipedia Pauses AI-Generated Summaries After Editor BacklashEnglish26·1 month agoPeople not getting things that seem obvious is an ongoing theme, it seems. We sat through a presentation at work by some guy who enthusiastically pitched AI to the masses. I don’t mean that’s what he did, I mean “enthusiasm” seemed to be his ONLY qualification. Aside from telling folks what buttons to press on the company’s AI app, he didn’t know SHIT. And the VP got on before and after and it was apparent that he didn’t know shit, either. Someone is whispering in these people’s ears and they’re writing fat checks, no doubt, and they haven’t a clue what an LLM is, what it is good at, nor what to be wary of. Absolutely ridiculous.
laranis@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When do you finally calm down after buying a house?4·1 month agoNever relax… The universe can sense when you’re content and will balance itself.
laranis@lemmy.zipto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•When do you finally calm down after buying a house?20·1 month agoWhat’s that sound? Is it supposed to make it? Did it make it before? Is that wet? Why is it wet? That bug is new, haven’t seen one like that. Electric bill is higher this month. Got the escrow statement; it went up again. That crack… Seems longer. Door squeaks again. Was the drain recessed like that? Are you sure? That’s loose, should probably do something about it. Gotta run to the hardware store. They’re backordered on that thing that melted in the fire. The AC is dripping again. Is the water pressure lower than usual? What’s that smell? Is it coming from under there? Why is the milk spoiled? Is the fridge warm to you? Grass is long again. Sprinkler got run over by a neighbor. We need to do something about the dead tree.
Literally things said at my house IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. Holy shit why.
laranis@lemmy.zipto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are most people who avoid turn signals do it to feel more normal? (Imitating their parents, avoiding perceived stupidity of using turn signals when it seems useless, etc)8·1 month agoThe idea that moving your finger slightly to support the smoothe functioning of traffic and the welfare of other humans is not “masculine” enough makes me want to castrate some fuckers.
laranis@lemmy.zipto News@lemmy.world•Proud Boys sue US government for $100m over Jan 6 prosecutions3·1 month agoLabelling this conspiracy means you haven’t been paying attention. This is exactly what they’ve been using lawsuits and settlements for over the last 18 months. That and the crypto bullshit to funnel bribes.
laranis@lemmy.zipto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Every news result on duckduckgo links to MSNEnglish2·2 months agoSeconded. The only reason I use Google is if I actually want an ad served to me.
laranis@lemmy.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Trump threatens new 'Dark Age' with policy of 'deliberate destruction'English331·2 months agoAlternate title: “The Atlantic publishes a story about MAGA that everyone with a brain knew for at least eight years.”
Welcome to the party.
To be fair, The Atlantic has been much better at addressing these issues than the rest of MSM, but still not far enough.
laranis@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Former Meta exec (Nick Clegg) says asking for artist permission will kill AI industryEnglish9·2 months agoBet you’re not worth $100+ million. Then you’d get it.
Depends on if you are on a big endian or little endian architecture.
Common misconception… Unsigned booleans (ubool) are always 16-bits.
I definitely see myself understanding the world more, and that obviously will come with experience. However, with that also comes wisdom, and specifically the wisdom to look back and see that some adults were fucking fucktards.
I was a better person than them then, and am certainly a better person now.
Enjoy hell, Mr. K.
