  • Mark Zuckerberg sure sounds eager to get young people hooked on online gambling

  • That's the thing I think I'll die never understanding. I really don't see the point of being on your death bed with plenty of leftovers.

    Some people have a really backwards understanding on the core philosophy of "being successful in life". Like, he seems to lack the ability to grasp the literal meaning of that concept and so will always be doomed to fail at achieving anything with it. It just makes sense to understand he has a psychological deficit. I'd be empathetic if he weren't such a catastrophic burden to everyone.

  • He looks like he's missing bolts in his neck.

  • I Wasn't Allowed Prompting ChatGPT During My Chalk Talk: This Is Discrimination

    Jump

  • It's concerning that people aren't immediately picking up that it's satire. After setting up for a zinger, here it comes...

    I placed my laptop on the table, opened a browser window to ChatGPT, and prepared to do what I do every single day in my actual scientific practice: type a prompt and receive a coherent, well-structured response that I would then lightly edit and present as my own thinking.

    It's at exactly this point you should realise, laugh, and then immediately feel upset because Dr Simmons is making their point. The rest of the write up is them giving us an upsetting insight into the realities of a world they're intimate with and show very valid concern for, just as we should now be after reading it.

    Then to top it off, I come read the comments to have a laugh and discuss it, but instead now I just feel extra gloomy about the rot of our thinking and discerning skills and how easy it is to just take advantage of this. Now I can't stop thinking about how many users fall for misinformation and how many times each day if this is already the kind of thing breaking their acid tests.

    I now imagine some people's pride will just default all that I just said to a superiority complex and that just makes things even more depressing.

    I don't know if the writer intended this extra provocation, but bonus points. Or they're reading the discourse around their write up is more about whether it's satire or not and instead are now at a "I fucking give up on this world" point.

  • I can't believe this is the thing that has people get upset at their politicians... But, sure! Keep it up!

  • CNN Reports $TRUMP Coin Value Drops 98% as 740k Lose Money

    Jump

  • I think they're just stupid and rely on being told what to do rather than figuring out what to do. Trump wouldn't be the only thing in their lives taking full advantage of that.

  • My body when I stand up too quickly

    Jump

  • Yeah, that gets done every so often in my check ups. Usually an "in case we missed it last time" thing.

    Dunno why someone downvoted you; POTS is common and one of the key symptoms is black outs getting up too quickly. It's kinda like that with and fatigue or dizziness/balance, you get checked.

    What online sites allow free speech?

    Jump

  • Doesn't exist. Free speech is not applicable to private sites and communities which are protected by constitutional laws, not bound by them.

    What you're after is a website that has minimal to no moderation on political discourse. These tend not to exist because of the people they attract and the hot water the site owners can get into by the actions of those people.

    Your best bet is 4chan.

    Edit: Besides, it'd just be a slew of echo chamber vs echo chamber with few participants having an understanding or knowledge of politics—like, 'what is free speech?'—beyond a philosophical top-layer, however everyone will see themself as an expert. This is 95% of online users that involve themselves in political topics, including most of Lemmy users.

  • Trump drops unintentionally risque ‘threesome’ quip about himself, his sons and nation’s top military honor

    Jump

  • He looks like the Skyrim CC messed up cycling between Breton and Dark Elf.

  • My body when I stand up too quickly

    Jump

  • I have low blood pressure and am fairly tall so this happens most times I get up. Some times I black out completely and hit the deck.

    A doctor said it's a good thing because by the time I'm old, my blood pressure will be like a normal adult and risk of stroke will be basically nothing. I just got to make it there without splitting my head open.

  • What's one book everyone should read at least once in their lifetime?

    Jump

  • Well of course god is the evil one.

    Genesis. Dude invented sin by putting a random tree down with a whole made up lore on it for no reason other to tempt his "beloved" creation. Of course it all goes to plan—since the dude apparently knows what comes ahead of time—and he gets to do what he wanted all along; fuck with the ants.

    And Lucifer, the only person to try overthrow this monster tragically lost and paid the ultimate price for it.

    This slots in so much better than the original, I think. They should incorporate it into Diablo somehow.

  • Besides gas and housing, what else makes you do a double take at how much it costs now?

    Jump

  • I bought a friend some while in Australia. I know they have a heavy tax on them but was shocked to find $50 for a single pack of 20. Could not fathom how people were still smoking.

  • Do oil changes yourself. It's very simple and kind of fun. First time took me 45 mins. Every time after that, about 10 mins, and most of that is sitting around waiting for the oil to drain before screwing the plug back in.

    Really, for most cars, if you can pump gas then you can do the oil and oil filter, fluids (coolants, brake, power steering, etc), air and cabin filters. They generally involve unscrewing or unclipping something, then popping it back on. Brake pads are also very simple. These are parts designed to be replaced regularly so are quick and simple with 1 or 2 tools, if a tool is even needed.

  • Ford hired AI and sacked humans. It backfired badly

  • Software Engineers Are Facing an Existential Crisis As They Drown In Horrendous AI Code

    Jump

  • It'd be minimal since I'm doing all the hard work initially and feeding it logic to follow. I find open vibe coding does rip tokens and usually ends up with an overcomplicate mess. Many rabbit holes the AI creates and sends itself down, so a lot more unnecessary lines and often entire redundant blocks.

    If someone's going to do that, at the least break it up into sections to save tokens and time. But ideally, just get some coding experience under the belt of have a crack at it yourself first so it's easy to identify the pitfalls and where clear instructions is needed.

  • Software Engineers Are Facing an Existential Crisis As They Drown In Horrendous AI Code

    Jump

  • Same. I also code up about 50% of stuff so all the structure is there, effectively as guardrails, before using AI. Then prompting it instructions that are effectively the solution, so it doesn't come up with its own.

    Then, read through it all, replace things that could've been done better, and test.

    On average it's maybe 15-20% quicker than manually coding the whole lot. Try skip any of those steps and the chances of it blowing out increase to the point I just end up doing it all anyway and it's taken twice as long because of it.

    It's alarming when people don't even check.

  • Not even. A lot of the time the sources are laughable.
