I don’t get it, can you explain?

Guys, I just learned that Schierke (Shiiruke) is actually the Japanese pronunciation of the Germanic name Silke. As a German Berserk fan who even knows a Silke irl, I’ve somehow never considered this before.

Yes, opportunity cost is also a cost.

I love ternary for assigning to constants.

Great post

1D and 2D are just mathematical abstractions.

So are all dimensions. The number of dimensions is just an attribute of a vector space, and vector spaces are just models we humans define to describe natural phenomenona. You can claim that some of these models are more useful than others. But at no point does it make sense to claim that a model “exists” or not. There would be no meaning to such a statement, it would contain no information. Not wrong, just nonsensical.

I’d see it as a seal of quality if the developer is a crank.

I don’t know what kinds of allegations you’re trying to insinuate here. This isn’t about me anyway.

That’s irrelevant. But if someone leaves it, someone else will have to take it, is what I’m saying. Like in general.

So what do you think happens to all the shit you leave around? Someone’s gotta take it.

And if you had a dangerous person in your tribe, you better also paid very close attention to their behavior.

The well-documented symptoms of various mental illnesses are a clear sign for needing help. Believing that psychologists, or at least those psychologists one has access to, don’t have the competence to help is no such symptom.

I actually agree that they have similar effects if consumed similarly. Avoiding the mass consumption of short-form, attention-grabbing content is a great choice when you notice a decline in your ability to focus. I’ve occasionally done the same thing in my life, sometimes even cutting internet usage more radically than that, and it always created strongly noticeable improvements (or rather noticeable returns to my more natural state of mind).

That being said, I still browse lemmy memes and think it’s somewhat different from similar media for several reasons (these are broad generalizations, of course there are exceptions):

• Memes are more honest as they’re mainly aimed at making you laugh, and you can easily verify yourself whether you found them funny or not. Short-form videos will often contain stories, advice, or information, the value or danger of which you cannot verify so easily.
• At least if you’re looking in the right communities, memes are from the community members itself, not some slop by some influencer trying to get clicks at any price.
• I can browse through top of the day of my lemmy meme communities in a relatively short amount of time, get some enjoyment out of it, and then just move on with my life. I don’t think there is an equivalent platform for short videos. They want to keep you scrolling endlessly.

Deeply obscure reference

Are you really feeling guilty about not tipping because of the moral implications, or do you just feel socially shamed? Important distinction.

I think we should start by not following this marketing speak. The sentence “AI isn’t intelligent” makes no sense. What we mean is “LLMs aren’t intelligent”.
