Now we’re judging articles for quantity instead of quality?

Who uses “lame” in 2024? It was so pervasive during the Digg times.

The irony is that I’ve been antagonized for looking for other examples of AI that are not related to LLMs. As in “lol LLMs are AI!!!” and I have to reply with “yeah, I know that, but what other types are being used out there?” “just shut up with your anti-LLM stuff!”

Mindless negativity has arrived - at least in lemmy.world.

I have some tech-related subscriptions, so I check those out every now and then, but they have few new posts. So when I browse the Popular section, oy… corporations bad, climate change bad, war bad, economy bad. (Not saying it’s not true, I just want a place I can browse and escape all that for five minutes.)

And some users (even mods!) have an “all-or-nothing” attitude too, which is infuriating because they won’t drive me away from the cause, but they may drive away others with less patience.

For example, I say “I support the blue color. Now, I wonder, if metallic blue with a purple hue is really a true blue? And how? Trying to learn. Just curious…” and then someone says “YOU JUST OUTED YOURSELF AS A BLUE HATER!!!”

Thank you for this. I watched the whole thing. It’s undeniable that Raygun can do a lot of things I can’t, but her performance paled in comparison with the other competitors. Three four times I got the goosebumps when the other competitors did truly amazing moves!

Ok, let’s see:

1. The parent posted didn’t mention relativity. Just that a planet was moving at a fraction of c, which is a specific amount (let’s say, 10,000 km/s)

2. Since the parent poster is talking about the sun, and how such a planet with such velocity could affect it (the sun), then it’s easy to assume that the planet is moving quickly relative to the sun itself.

So, the poster’s question is equivalent to saying “if a feather collides with my body, it may do nothing. But what if the feather is super-super-super fast?! What would it do to my body??”

Source, please.

Edit: I read your sources. Very interesting!

it only fuels reading DNA and it’s decoding and replication

and its* decoding and replication

Thank you!

To me, bots are just noise if not summoned directly. Like when you’re having a conversation with your friend, then a loud roomba comes in and tries to clean the very space you’re sitting at.

“Hey bot, tell me facts about the article OP posted.”

“Sure! [etc, etc]”

Versus:

“HEY I KNOW YOU HAVEN’T ADDRESSED ME DIRECTLY BUT YOU SAID THE WORD ‘BUTT’ 17 TIMES TODAY!”

How do you like Graphene? Any specific issues you haven’t resolved yet? Can you access your bank apps and everything from it?

Weird that they used quora of all places this news was reported.

I’ll write to my major this week!

I… actually agree with you. It would be nice to have a cozy indoors public space. Sort of like an “indoors park.” But you’ll have to yell at your city hall reps, not a small business owner who, like us, also has to make a living.

Those scenarios can be solved. From “4-hour sofa slots are reserved for groups of three or more people” to “Sofas are reserved to 1-hour max.”

In the end, as it is now, people are overstaying anyway.

Pro-tip: Even in a loud place you can (and should!) speak with your normal voice (e.g. no shouting) when having your mouth an inch or two from the other person’s ear. They will hear you just fine, even if you can’t hear yourself.

This could be solved by a system of reservations. You know… “Ok, one coffee and a sandwich. You have three seating choices: 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 1 hour. Which one do you want? 30 minutes? Ok! Here’s your hourglass.”

Navigation gestures… I opted for the buttons instead. And I surely miss the physical buttons.

I hate, hate, hate, that I can’t turn off the “At a glance” top section as well as the “Google search” bottom section in my Pixel home screen.

They got rid of the Google Assistant microphone icon that I could tap and say stuff like “remind me to buy milk in 2 hours,” and replaced it with a similar icon that does voice search. Yuk (and no, shaking, squeezing, gestures or activating the always on ‘hey google’ prompt are not worthy replacements.)

The last TV I had was a 55’ inch dumb one. Absolutely NO smart features bullshit. And I had to leave it behind when I moved to a different country. The sound sucked, but that was fixed with a sound bar.

I miss that TV.
