Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

Open to reconsider my views in light of good-faith counter-arguments but also willing to defend what's right, even when it's unpopular. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

  • What benefit would a lidar bring that they haven't already achieved with cameras and radar? The car not seeing where it's going is not exactly an issue they're having with FSD.

  • How are you doing financially?

  • Life's too short to stay in a job you hate. Collect some fuck you money from your earnings and move on. You wont regret it - even if it means taking a pay cut.

  • Really interesting read. Thanks for the response.

    Why do you only have a few months' worth of savings despite considering yourself rich? Or are you just speaking about cash reserves?

  • What pisses me off the most is that if you’re a plumber you get to walk in and demand whatever price you feel like

    As a plumber I can assure you that this is not how it works. I charge 60€ / h which may seem high but that's not what I pocket from it.

  • It's a little crazy when we're talking about half of the population.

  • Such a privilege to be born plumber

  • Which fictional character comes to your mind first when someone says strong, independent woman?

    Jump

  • Nobody in particular stands out, but a thought I had a while back is that Game of Thrones was one of the rare pieces of modern cinema with a host of great female characters who, for the most part, actually had to put in effort to earn their status rather than just being born with it.

  • Sex is quite a broad term but if what you're asking is 'what does it feel like to stick my dick into vagina' then go buy a fleshlight, run some warm water thru it, lube your dick and try it out. It's not exactly the same but it's pretty close.

    My personal opinion? Overrated. That's what it feels like.

  • Is it just me or do all search engines feel soooo bad these days?

    Jump

  • Of course I care whether the answer is correct. My point was that even when it’s not, it doesn’t really matter much because if it were critical, I wouldn’t be asking ChatGPT in the first place. More often than not, the answer it gives me is correct. The occasional hallucination is a price I’m willing to pay for the huge convenience of having something like ChatGPT to quickly bounce ideas off of and ask about stuff.

  • LLMs have their flaws but for my use it's usually good enough. It's rarely mission critical information that I'm looking for. It satisfies my thirst for an answer and even if it's wrong I'm probably going to forget it in a few hours anyway. If it's something important I'll start with chatGPT and then fact check it by looking up the information myself.

  • I don't honestly even remember the last time I've googled something. Nowdays I'll just ask chatGPT

  • Does Lemmy have shadow banning?

    Jump

  • Every ban on lemmy is effectively a shadow ban as you don't get notified for it

  • What is the absolute last extreme sport you'd be willing to try?

  • Thanks! Yeah I meant free soloing. I was under the illusion that 'Free Solo' was just the name of the Alex Honnold documentary and free climbing was the term for the sport itself, like free diving.

  • Edd Sorenson has some fantastic cave rescue / body recovery stories incase anyone's interested. The dude is an absolute legend in the cave diving circles.

  • I'd be up for that if you'll find me an opponent - and a crane.

  • Getting caught by police aircraft sounds very American.

    I’ve adopted the granddad driving style too. Now I get my enjoyment from watching people rush and make pointless overtakes, only for me to end up right behind them at the next traffic light.

  • It was way above my comfort level. The ride itself was smooth due to me driving a big saloon but it also felt like I was about to take off at the slightest bump

  • I was barely able to reach 200kph

  • I once was young and stupid and maxed out the speedometer of my car on a empty highway at the middle of the night. Now I can say I've done it and don't need to do that again. Normally I hardly even drive above the speedlimit.
