Noted. Will upload my future papers on SciHub myself. /j. Or am I? Vsauce music plays Did you know vegetables are a social construct?

Let’s not forget billionaires in this consideration.

Vegetables are a social construct too.

Afaik, botanically, there is no such thing as a “vegetable”. Only fruits. What we perceive as “vegetable” differs between cultures worldwide.

Aren’t hands much more nasty?

Germans:
“glow-wormsies”

Any form of highly restricted communication prevents meaningful discussions as it’s incapable of of capturing the complexity of most topics.

That’s why I’ve never used Twitter and only forum-like platforms, like Lemmy now.

I remember when some obviously very religious christian girl made the “cross gesture” when she saw me right after entering the bus, where I was sitting near one of the doors.

I wasn’t even in my most egregious goth outfit. Just black shorts and a black shirt. Not very conspicuous.

I felt flattered.

Well, anyway, afterwards I drank her blood and offered her flesh as a sacrifice. Ah yeah… good times. /j (Not about the bus part though.)

There are too many assholes in positions of power.

It’s nice to see – once again – how dangerous it is to put the entire infrastructure into the hands of one single company. A company, that not only immensely obstructs transparency, but also falls into the jurisdiction of foreign / non-EU institutions.

And now imagine the hidden extent of (industrial) espionage, which happens without notice, because we put our data and our communication into the hands of these very companies.

Reading comments of people who (hyper-) organize their games as if it’s a project to get through and they have to work off. And I’m sitting here just playing whatever the fuck I’m in the mood in.

It also raises the question whether it’s a perfect teleport or one that modifies you. While you might be willing to pull the lever before jumping into the teleport, you might not be afterwards.

4 servings: 500 g

I always cook the whole package. I can eat leftovers later or make some new dish out of it the next day.

“ruined” in the eyes of the ones. “Upgraded” in the eyes of others.

Taste in art is highly individual as can be seen here again.

I’ve made similar experiences in movie theatres. And streaming services continuously disappoint on that front too.

Although Refund4Freedom focuses on Italy for now, we are building experience to expand our efforts to the rest of Europe.

Is there something like a remind me bot on Lemmy?

Cogito ergo sum.

Accepting a common framework of provable, i.e., measurable, repeatable, falsifiable phenomena, as a concept of “reality,” seems to be a pragmatic approach, given my sensory inputs and the processing results of my brain. This is then “knowledge.”

But ultimately, this is subordinated to the possibility of an illusion – be it like in The Matrix, or as a Boltzmann brain, or whatever. Unless there is evidence for that, it appears most practical to me to go with the above, as I don’t gain anything from racking my brain about such possible illusions of reality (even though it’s fun thinking about it).

I’m nitpicky about the word “believe”. So let me rephrase: I do not believe. Either I know, or I don’t know. Everything else are more or less informed speculations, assumptions or hypotheses at best.

Ask for a community meeting, so you can see that those people are real.

Despite that, I don’t see any effective counter measure in the long run.

Currently, sure, with a keen eye you might be able to spot characteristics of one or the other LLM. But that’d be a lucky find.

Yes to all of that except your last paragraph.

I suppose you’re referring to the article I’ve linked. As I see it: If an increasing amount of applications world are running with Python, then energy and time consumption are important aspects. Not only cost wise but especially since we’re grilling our planet. Therefore, comparing with more efficient languages is indeed meaningful.
