Nemo,

Me too, but then I throw them in the laundry trash can when I’m sorting laundry later.

Nemo,

Mine is full of receipts I empty out of my pockets.

Nemo,

AI isn’t reserved for a human-level general intelligence. The computer-controlled avatars in some videogames are AI. My phone’s text-to-speech is AI. And yes, LLMs, like the smaller Markov-chain models before them, are AI.

Nemo,

I remember when I was in college, and the big problems in AI were speech-to-text and image recognition. They were both solved within a few years.

Nemo,

“Teresa Rampell” by Manel. It’s in Catalan.

Nemo,

On a tiny island in an artificial lake in the middle of a big city park.

Nemo,

Introduced my kids to the David Lynch adaptation of Dune.

Nemo,

No earlier than 45. Otherwise you’re headed back into territory where your body and brain are still developing – fuck with that and you might not feel right in your own body.

Nemo,

I think you mean “sesquipedalian vocabulary”

Nemo,

That’d be great, yeah. But scope is the issue.

“All Chicagoans have the right to public transit.” Sane and doable. Not done, not currently, as any map of the city will show you, but both possible and desirable.

“All Illinoisans have a right to public transit.” I’d love to see it, even if it’s just once-a-day trains to Springfield, to St. Louis, to the Region, to Milwaukee, to Rockford, to Peoria, to Chambana. But that’s a lot more train lines than we have now, and that means land for stations and RoWs, it means manpower and materials for maintenance, it means working out the logistics of scheduling and fare pricing for the communities being served. And it still won’t cover everyone unless augmented with bus lines, which also need logistics, manpower, and maintenance. Still desirable; not very efficient, especially for a perpetually cash-strapped state like Illinois.

“All Americans have a right to public transit.” At that point it’d be empty words, doing more harm than good.

“All humans have a right to public transit.” At this point, purely aspirational rather than descriptive.

How much does a creator's worldview influence whether you use their tech or consume their media?

Watching the drama around kagi unfold and it has me wondering how much you take into consideration a creator’s view on things like homophobia, sexism, racism, etc. when deciding to use a product. I think most of us have a bar somewhere (I would imagine very few on this website would ever consider registering on an altright...

Nemo,

I am a very “death of the artist” kind of guy, but I won’t give my money to people will will use it for evil. So while I’m perfectly happy to, say, buy a Roman Polanski movie secondhand, I’m not going to purchase a new copy.

Nemo,

None. Chicago doesn’t flood, have earthquakes, get wildfires, get hurricanes, get droughts. Tornados dissipate once they hit the urban heat bubble. It barely even blizzards here, once or twice a year at most.

True, we did burn down once. But now we’re very aggressive about fire safety and prevention.

Nemo,

I almost never sit down when I’m at home. I cook standing, wash dishes standing, fold laundry standing, eat standing. I often play videogames and read standing, though that can be bad for posture if you’re not holding it out in front of you.

Nemo,
  • Every MCU movie
  • Every Pixar Movie
  • Every Star Wars movie (and series)
  • Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
  • All the early seasons of The Simpsons
Nemo,

There was a post up saying you need to manually delete your cookies for slrpnk.net and then login again.

Nemo,

My local library does craft nights, open mics, movie screenings, tax help…

So any of those except tax help. Unless that’s your kink, I guess.

Nemo,

Hey man, it’s fuck cars, not fuck bikes.

Nemo,

Earthsea by a country mile.

Nemo,

We’re more or less born being able to “read” facial expressions and tone of voice. IDK about body language.

Nemo,

Because the buses start running at 4am.

Which of the U.S. national parks in this image do you think is the most worth visiting? There are three exceptions. (lemmy.world)

We’re talking about a vacation this summer so we can plan ahead. My mother (who will pay for it) said she’d love to go to Yellowstone, but it looks like it’s about a 24-hour drive for us. Still, I like the idea of going to a national park. We’re in Indiana, so this image shows about the limits of where we’re willing to...

Nemo,

I’ve only been to Indiana Dunes and Voyageurs, but they’re both nice enough. Voyageurs is like, bring a canoe and camping supplies, though, not necessary a day trip.

Consider some state parks! Turkey Run in Indiana is gorgeous, and Pipestone State Park in Minnesota is beautiful, historical, and unique.

Nemo,

That it’s anticorporatist.

Nemo,

It’s from 1984. The book, not the year.

Nemo,

Liberalism: Human flourishing, the expansion of scientific knowledge, recognition of human rights

Capitalism: More resilient to corruption than planned economies

Conservatism: Prevents backsliding and cultural loss, encourages social stability

Nemo,

Is Britain even considered to be “in” Europe? That’s like saying Iceland is in Europe.
