Lmaydev, to news in China's Uyghur Drama: Wiping Out An Entire Ethnic Minority --- [documentary in French with English subtitles, 105 min]

It’s not akin to genocide. It is textbook genocide.

Lmaydev, to asklemmy in Why does America say 'merry christmas'?

Well your country is wrong.

Lmaydev, to linux in Why do you use the terminal?

Yeah I use WSL a huge amount of my work.

Azure for instance is much easier to work with in the console than the website.

Then there’s grep!

Lmaydev, to memes in No wonder he's always cranky.

My friend tried this thing where you nap for 20 minutes every 4 hours or so.

They managed to get into a good rhythm with it for a while.

They stopped because they missed sleep and it was weird as fuck being awake all the time.

They had an amazing ability to fall asleep almost instantly so I imagine that made it much easier.

Lmaydev, to archaeology in Dress code: How a Winnipeg codebreaker cracked one of the 'world's top unsolved messages' | CBC

Well that was a bit anticlimactic. Still interesting though.

The funny thing about that is they used to send a letter in advanced so you could get your evidence etc. in line.

So everyone expected the Spanish inquisition.

Lmaydev, to memes in "Now, here's what I would do..."

Only if they think you’re an immediate threat to yourself or others.

I talked about suicide a lot in therapy.

Lmaydev, to memes in "Now, here's what I would do..."

That’s really not how therapy works.

Lmaydev, to memes in "Now, here's what I would do..."

Exactly why therapy is so useful.

I could never tell my family and friends part of me hated them because their love guilted me into not killing myself.

Lmaydev, to privacy in Google loses antitrust case vs Epic Games. Jury rules Google Play store constitutes an illegal monopoly

Because 90+% of people don’t know what fdroid is and can’t get many of the apps they need there.

Lmaydev, to linux in Linus Torvalds on the state of Linux today and how AI figures in its future

Given it’s an artificial intelligence it stands to reason its understanding and knowledge are artificial.

I don’t think there’s any relevance pointing that out anymore. No one thinks it’s conscious or a general AI.

I also don’t see how it’s massively different to our ability to parse and output text tbh.

Lmaydev, to linux in Linus Torvalds on the state of Linux today and how AI figures in its future

You could say it’s artificially intelligent haha

Lmaydev, to linux in Linus Torvalds on the state of Linux today and how AI figures in its future

It is very intelligent though.

It’s not simple to come up with coherent statements on such a wide variety of tasks.

It’s not just stringing random words together like predictive text. It understands context in a way that is very complex.

It is more knowledgeable than the average person by a huge amount.

For example I asked it to write songs about squidmas, an imaginary holiday I made up to irritate my children. It was able to rewrite Christmas songs but with a squid theme. That’s way more complex than predictive text.

Lmaydev, (edited ) to longreads in 'Endemic' SARS-CoV-2 and the death of public health

Wearing masks isn’t really an issue. It’s standard in many countries during winter and they have much better flu numbers.

Natural immunity wears off with COVID and it mutates rapidly enough that we’ll keep needing boosters most likely.

Also the regular flu is fucking awful and we put a lot of effort every year into keeping to low.
