Lennnny, in What are you drinking tonight, and is it what you really want to be drinking?
@Lennnny@lemmy.world avatar

Barr Hill gin and tonic. It’s fabulous.

pl_woah, in Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?

I’m pissed that large corps are working hard on propaganda to say that LLMs and theft of copyright is good if they do it

Water

I guess? I’d like to drink some coffee or tea but I have to get up in 7 hours so I really can’t until then

But water will do for now

Gormadt, in How are you all making it right now with grocery store prices?
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I’m doing a lot more cooking that’s for sure

Pancakes can really go with anything, they’re basically a large flat biscuit. Not to mention they keep quite nicely if frozen or simply put in the fridge

Che_Donkey, in How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?
@Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml avatar

For me I decided young that I needed a career that would take me places so I could have life experiences and maybe get a few bucks.

I applied to everything everywhere while I was working and always thought “it may suck, but at least it will be different.”

There are better systems, but IMO I was never able to find or capitalize on them so i needed to focus on what my current goals were keeping in the back of my mind that this is a marathon, not a sprint.

Be aware that your peers that do amazing work and get promotions, get that easy job or just get a lucky break only affect your life negatively if you let it.

Positive “coping mechanisms” help when dealing with stress (exercise routine, yoga, whateverworks for you), when negative coping mechanisms hurt.

I’ve been lucky enough to live and work in some amazing places, and 35 years later we have finally found a place we want to “settle”.

BigTrout75, in Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?

LOL, ask anyone in IT marketing how they feel about AI.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in What's a movie you don't really watch but your damn proud to have on your shelf?

The animated LotR

31337, in Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?

AI is simply a broad field of research and a broad class of algorithms. It is annoying media keeps using the most general term possible to describe chatbots and image generators though. Like, we typically don’t call Spotify playlist generators AI, even though they use recommendation algorithms, which are a subclass of AI algorithms.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in If reality wasn't wholly rational, could one ever come to terms with it, or would one rationalize it instead?

It probably would be rationalized up until a loophole in the laws of physics is found, at which point its sheer incomprehensibility would corrupt our existences.

shinigamiookamiryuu, in How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?

Living with disability like I do means that process has sped up significantly.

KpntAutismus, in How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?

the ideal way would be to build up passive income and/or outwaging your living costs by double or triple, but god knows how hard that is.

JimmyChanga, in How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?

If you’re lucky enough to find something you’re passionate about you may not begrudge the work week. I never have, so i work to live, got into a reasonable paying sector, didn’t waste money on oversized property or flash motors, as they’re not my bag, but used the cash to go adventuring at weekends, snow boarding in winter, the job takes up more time than I’d like but i’m earning freedom tokens. That mentality helped me at least.

curiousaur, in Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?

You’re a fool if you think your own mind is any more than a large language model.

jasparagus, in What's a movie you don't really watch but your damn proud to have on your shelf?

Schindler’s List - incredible movie, beautiful case, no way I want to rewatch it any time soon.

BlackSkinnedJew, in What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

The earth being a sphere.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Right?

It’s more of an egg shape.

baked_tea,

I think they call it a spheroid?

BlackSkinnedJew,

Yeah a spheroid, a sphere anything else than flat as a pizza.

LemmyKnowsBest,

oblate spheroid
