There are valid uses for AI. It is much better at pattern recognition than people. Apply that to healthcare and it could be a paradigm shift in early diagnosis of conditions that doctors wouldn’t think to look for until more noticeable symptoms occur.
Is your refrigerator running?
Yes?
Then you’d better go catch it!
Shit fuck there it goes.
I don’t think Europe has much conviction regarding Ukraine, unfortunately. Most of the larger EU member states are trying to slow their own Russia-backed right-wing movements but appear to be losing ground by the day. It’s only a matter of time before the “appeasement” stance becomes widespread and we end up with a situation mirroring the 1930’s.
But your normie friends and family would fit in a lot better if they simply read some T H E O R Y.
Conservative religious beliefs and ignorance often go hand-in-hand.
A lot of trans people would disagree. Just because someone was forced to conform to their biological sex for years doesn’t mean they felt that way on the inside.
Every trans person I know, without exception, prefers to refer to their pre-transition selves by their current pronouns and would take issue with the suggestion that they were still a boy/girl before becoming a girl/boy.
Would be nice. iPad is not a wholly terrible experience to run docked, but it still leaves a lot to be desired compared to a desktop OS.
There’s no way they’ll “lose control of iOS” though. Worst case scenario, they make some concessions like allowing third-party stores, but then just follow Google’s lead and make it as unappealing as possible to sideload apps or install other app stores (and still have their own defaults that can’t be removed).
I unsubscribed. I find myself using Amazon less and less for shipping anyways, so now I definitely don’t feel the need to stay subscribed for streaming either.
The other two flags are North Korea (left) and Serbia (right).
North Korea began the Korean War by invading South Korea. It didn’t end well for them (or for the South, for that matter) but South Korea prospers today while the North is…well, North Korea.
For Serbia, it is one of the many states formed from the dissolution of Yugoslavia. Going from one country to several countries which were defined mainly by ethnic association was not a clean transition. There were Serbs living in other former Yugoslav countries, and Serbia used that justification to start occupying those majority-Serbian areas, similar to what Russia has been doing with Ukraine, Transnistria, South Ossetia, and to a lesser extent Abkhazia.

I think I would like a toggle between usernames and display names. Let people do whatever customization they want but then you can disable it to see just the plaintext username if you (like me) prefer the simplicity.
It’s still killing me right now, in fact, that the setting to disable user avatars isn’t sticking in the current version. I prefer to keep all of my Lemmy browsing impersonal so as to prioritize the content and the discussion over the personalities.
But boy did it change the price you have to pay for it.
There’s also the recent fallout from the Epic v. Google case which determined that Google was also leveraging their market dominance to manipulate the market and negotiate more favorable deals behind closed doors to reduce competition.
The friction (and resulting heat) I am assuming would come from wind resistance. Think along similar lines to this classic XKCD article.
650 miles per second, as Malkovich said in the skit, translates to about 2.3 million miles per hour, or about 3.8 million kilometers per hour for the more mathematically reasonable among us out there.
A much lighter meteor traveling much slower than that through the atmosphere is enough to generate the heat needed for combustion, so it would probably apply to Santa in this hypothetical scenario, too.
It’s going to have to be like Westworld, basically.
Quests and the NPCs involved in them will have curated stories written by humans, much like they are today. Generative AI, meanwhile, allows for improv. The player can tackle quest narratives with genuine freedom of choice, rather than just the predefined choose-your-own-adventure options that limit player choice today. And the generative AI would allow the NPCs who are part of the narrative to make freeform decisions/dialogs/outcomes meant to push players back on the right track.
Should the player fail to complete the narrative, the AI would also at least be able to improv a more satisfying exit point and outcome than “Whoops, I killed the wrong NPC, looks like I failed the quest.”
She was right to rip up a picture of the pope.
But I think she was wrong to convert to Islam if her priorities were denial of religious tyranny.
Or it could be said that he found Tesla in the “finders keepers” sense.
What YouTube sees:
“These videos keep eliciting reactions from users, which means that they prefer to engage with this content. This bodes well for our advertisers.”
