  • Perhaps you could shut the fuck up

    Jump

  • How long - ie consecutive nights - did you try going to bed with no screen time an hour before bed? I get the draw of "one thing to focus on", but your brain takes a while to adjust to the new normal of "no high octane input before bed time."

    Just being real, and I really do believe that you tried, but it really undermines your call for help and support at bed time when you state your doctor's advice to not watch TV an hour before bed in the same paragraph as describing how you still watch TV while trying to go to sleep at night.

  • Anon watches Gordon Ramsay

    Jump

  • I prefer Gordon Ramsey's content outside of the US better because he is often less angry for angriness sake, and often because someone is doing something that will get someone sick or hurt. To me, that is what healthy anger looks like. An alert system that drives you to make changes and demand changes of others for the benefit and safety of everyone.

    That probably isn't worded the best, and I am no philosopher or psychiatrist, but it is a worldview that has been healthy and helpful for me.

  • You didn't mention "20 FOSS Cigarettes." A typical pack of cigarettes is around 20, and FOSS stands for "Free (and) Open Source Software." This generally means that people can view, edit, distribute, and sometimes even sale programs they didn't themselves create. Many prominent FOSS projects use a fair bit of Perl code.

  • Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?

    Jump

  • The fact that it launched and didn't have a shopping cart for 3 years is all it takes to know that it was never intended to be a serious competitor. A simple shopping cart is trivial to implement with modern programming tools, and even if it wasn't, it should be part of the minimum viable product for any digital store front.

  • You'd make that bet, but I wouldn't. And only one of us is guaranteed to have money walking out of the casino

  • Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?

    Jump

  • Monopoly is definitely the word, but they also don't appear to be overly abusive about their market position.

    Jump

  • It doesn't rely on Neural Networks, but it does rely on gradient descent/hill climbing, which is basically what a neural network does under the hood.

  • Those who have ever taken medications for depression or anxiety, how long before it started working from your experience?

    Jump

  • Anxiety meds typically a few days to start to notice. Depression meds either had severe negative side effects almost immediately, or positive effects would start showing up after 2 or 3 weeks.

  • Yes! AI has been used to help with minimizing circuit designs and layouts for decades. It weirdly upsets me that AI has become synonymous with specifically LLMs, when the reality is that there are many different types of AI that has been an active field for years. Idk, maybe I'm just old and grumpy because I did my master's thesis on AI before the rise of LLMs and a lot of modern ML implementations.

  • Behold: A vibe-designed pcb

    Jump

  • Does anyone else spot the irony that we've been using AI (simulated annealing) to help us design circuit board layouts for decades, only it isn't an LLM so I guess it doesn't count?

  • Linux lays down the law on AI-generated code, says yes to Copilot, no to AI slop, and humans take the fall for mistakes — after months of fierce debate, Torvalds and maintainers come to an agreement

    Jump

  • I consider myself to be more pro AI than not, but I'm certainly not a zealot and mostly agree with the take that it shouldn't be used in artistic pursuits. However, I love using AI to help me create art. It can give great critiques, often good advice on how to improve, and is great for rapid experimentation and prototyping. I actually used it this weekend to see what a D&D mini might look like with different color schemes before painting it. I could have done the same with Gimp, but it would have taken much longer for worse results that was ultimately just for a brain storming session. How do you feel about my AI usage from your perspective? I suppose from an energy conservation perspective, all of it was bad, but I'm more interested in a less trivial take.

  • Texas students could soon be forced to read from the Bible in public schools

    Jump

  • Like others in here, I have a lot of concerns about indoctrination and separation between religion and government. However, I can see a serious argument for Jonah and the Whale and especially David and Goliath as cultural touchstones that are regularly referenced in modern media. Other stories may be a harder pitch, maybe Cain & Abel?

  • Having a slug come into contact with my feet or my socks or my shoes, but only if I am wearing them at the time. Anywhere else on my body is fine. I don't know what harm will come from this occuring. I do know it is fine if a slug is touching my shoe, I pick it off, and then put on the shoe. My fear of snails is likely but unverified.

  • Womp, womp.

    Jump

  • Wait, shouldn't the number go up since the job became available?

  • Fun game

    Jump

  • True, but that doesn't affect the win conditions of the game. All this really means is that the game cannot end in a draw and that players can effectively skip their turn at any point.

    EDIT: because you still drop tokens in from the top, a vertical and a horizontally infinite properties would lead to very different strategies. For example, in a vertically Infinite board, a player could not effectively skip their turn as previously described.

  • Not ad brain, just a brain.

    Notice all the little "Well, obviously not those ads" and implied consent scattered throughout your explanation? Did you even consider how much that would entrench current businesses if smaller companies couldn't advertise? Or how that would proliferate enshittifying conglomerates that can package their products under a blanket consent form, locking out advertisements from competitors? How would this work for traditional advertisements like flyers, radio broadcasts, and billboards? If you banned those outright, all that remains is online advertisements, and if you think big tech has an entrenchment advantage now? Just wait until media platforms and ISPs are the gatekeepers of the most effective means of reaching customers and growing their business.

    Lastly, do you have any conception of how much advertising subsidizes modern society? Think of everything from little leagues (which use corporate sponsors to pay for equipment and referees) to social media including lemmy! Every instance I know of includes an advertisement somewhere asking for donations to either support lemmy developers, or cover server cost. You could make them all paid services, but now you've locked out poor people from participating. Organizations could hide all functionality behind a consent form to show advertisements to subsidize cost, but then there is just a formality checkbox you must click before using any free online web service - solving exactly none of the actual issues around malware delivery, intrusive data collection, poor resource management, or even the most basic problem of advertisements being annoying.

    I'm done here. Start thinking, and until then, stop wasting bytes and oxygen.

  • How did you find out about the day care? Again, you "idea" is only quarter-baked at best. Your plan is to have me sign a consent form every time I enter a store with custom labels on the objects?

    Seriously, fuck off with this nonsensical shit so the rest of us can focus on actual solutions. Because right now, all you are doing is wasting the bandwidth of your ISP, and everyone who has to mentally filter out your comment.

  • What is advertising then? When a company explains the benefit of its own product? A link to a particular product or service? Would word of mouth among consumers be a form of advertising? If not, then why not companies showing a word of mouth for other (affiliated) companies? What is the distinction between a company and the owner in the case of a sole proprietorship?

    My point is, if this wasn't obvious enough, there are so many obvious problems and loop holes with this approach, you should give it a think for 20 minutes and then start saying something else.
