My partner insisted on getting me one of these as a gift because I like playing music. It's cool for sure, and I enjoyed the little bit I've played on it, but there's just no time. So it's left to gather dust now.
Everyone still uses LaTeX for CS/Math at my school. It's not an age thing. Just different circles. I don't think anything similar even comes close to LaTeX yet.
As long as you address the root problem in the window of time before things get worse from this cash infusion. And to be honest, I don't have much confidence in that happening.
Didn't Costco also refuse to sign it? Considering that they're basically the ideal business to support, it makes me a little suspicious about the value of this code of conduct.
“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”
This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they're trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.
A well fitted suit looks really nice imo. It gives you the same kind of silhouette as someone who's really buff. If it's poorly fitted, then I agree, it would look like school uniform that's sized up so that the kid grows into it.
Between 2017 and 2020, 229 mothers took a test to measure the concentration of fluoride in their urine during their third trimester of pregnancy. Then, between 2020 and 2023, they completed a 99-question survey to assess their child’s behavior when their sons and daughters were 3 years old....
The person on the left is carrying bags, the one in orange is a delivery driver and a couple of people are wearing backpacks. Aside from car brained, Damaris is also blind.
I don't think car access should ever be completely removed. The way it's done in most pedestrian/bike areas around here is that trucks (delivery and trash pick up) are all done within a small window of time. Outside of that, no cars are allowed besides the one or two security vehicles that move at walking speed if they even move at all.
Universal Healthcare doesnt have that problem, it's what universal means.
This idealized version of universal healthcare isn't possible because it'll require more resources than we have as a species. There's always more that you can do to improve health outcomes. A line had to be drawn somewhere.
This needs to have multiple levels of "openness" to distinguish between having access to the code, the dataset, a documented training procedure, and the final weights. I wouldn't consider it fully open unless these are all available, but I still appreciate getting something over nothing, and I think that should be encouraged.
They were fun until they decided to get rid of stealth. The player character being someone who stands out so much by merely existing gives the impression that this game will probably end up being more of the same.
I feel like there are many devs out there who expose a lot of personal details and opinions all over the web.

It's also trivially easy to tell if you're presenting someone else's work as your own. In an interview, you ask about their projects. Those would be very easy (and often fun) for the actual creator to answer, and not for anyone else.
Food preference is very individual, so understandably, not everyone is going to have the same tastes as him. But that's a pretty poor reason to favour a different voice when it comes to objective claims on food science.
As a one-off election, you wouldn't be able to. But in the real world, we get elections every few years, so you can see how many people approve of the eco or worker party. If it's high enough that they can potentially take over the liberals, then you can safely drop your approval for them in the next election.

Would Lex Fridman fit the bill? He runs in the same circle as Joe Rogan with similar guests, but generally just let's his guests speak instead of actively pushing nonsense, and especially not with the degree of confidence that Rogan does while being wrong. It'll still require you to listen critically, but that might be easier if you don't have someone actively pushing you in one direction.
Addressing a crowd of 500 members of Canadian tech during the BetaKit Town Hall the CEO of Shopify said the country suffers from a “go-for-bronze” culture.
Innovation is incentivized with greater returns. Just because those returns aren't excessively large, doesn't mean it's not there. You still get a net positive on innovating. Cigarettes are taxes in such a way that smoking at all is a net negative for most people. That's what makes it a disincentive.
Shell sold millions of carbon credits for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that never happened, allowing the company to turn a profit on its fledgling carbon capture and storage project, according to a new report by Greenpeace Canada....
Carbon capture is basically a form of energy storage. If it's energy that we wouldn't otherwise be able to capture, or if it's more energy than we need for consumption at a given moment in time, then it makes sense to store it instead. I don't know enough to say if these would apply in practice, but it's plausible that it's better to capture than to use the energy.
Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...
I've suspected it long before we met, but never really thought about it much beyond "yeah, I'm probably autistic. Anyway ..." and never talked about it either.
My partner was the one to first bring it up ten years into our relationship, thinking it was very obvious and said it explains a ton of peculiar behaviours I have that I never even considered to be related to autism.
I've had vegan ice cream before that was so much better than any ice cream I've had before but I don't remember which brand it was and I'm so mad about it. It had this really nice chewy bouncy texture. So good vegan ice cream exists. Now if only I can find it again.
I've heard of potential health issues from red meat consumption, but all animal products? That's a first for me. Do you have any sources to share on this?
I'm aware that there's evidence of saturated fats having undesirable effects on your health. But plenty of meats are low in saturated fats (e.g. skinless chicken breast, or fish).
I don't get much time to watch videos these days so I'm not going through the Netflix series. Though it looks like it's based off this paper, and that I can look through.
They studied 22 pairs of twins, intervened by changing their diets so that one gets a vegan diet and the other an omnivore diet, then measured a bunch of stuff via blood and stool samples. I don't see mention of how they correct for multiple hypotheses, but I'll just give them the benefit of the doubt here.
They found statistical significance in two places
LDL-C: Participants all start out in a healthy range, and they stay in a healthy range. So while the vegans improved on this measure, it also tells us that omnivores are perfectly healthy as well.
Fasting insulin levels: Same as LDL-C. Start off healthy, ended up healthy. We see the vegans having lower fasting insulin, but we don't know if that's a good thing or not when they're already starting at 12.7 μIU/mL.
So basically, the conclusion from the paper is that vegan and omnivore diets are both perfectly healthy, but you might gain slight benefits from going vegan.

I mean, yes I'll find a whole new...
Be careful however. No matter what, you're still just a brain in a flesh jar. You are susceptible to false information and lies as your brain can't really differentiate between false and correct info that well.
You are not immune to propaganda
I never understood this argument. How is it any different for leftist propaganda? This just feels like telling someone to stop thinking because you're on our team now and we want to make sure you don't leave.
you're more likely to be exposed to lies on a right wing forum compared to left wing forums
the types of lies you're exposed to are more dangerous in a right wing community compared to the left.
So first of all, how do you determine that #1 is true? I've seen my fair share of misinformation on Lemmy and the left-leaning parts of Reddit getting highly upvoted and vice versa. But I'm basing this on what I personally know (and who knows if I'm right?) and in general, there isn't much objective info going around. It's mostly people sharing their sentiments on a topic with little to no factual information (e.g. "fuck [entity X]").
#2 also assumes that you're right to begin with and that sharing these false statistics would lead to a better world. Take false statistics on police racism for example. This can be a problem in many ways. Let's say hypothetically that there is no police racism, but we say there is and we convince everyone that we need to fix it. This can divert resources away from other problems (e.g. working on reducing spousal abuse), and thus making problems worse elsewhere. Moreso if the police force is tasked with handling spousal violence and they're now tied up in internal investigations, maybe losing funding, and thus reducing their capabilities. It'll also be fuelling an unnecessary conflict (possibly violent) between people who should otherwise be allies in the struggle that is life. More people get hurt, more people can die. That's a pretty dangerous outcome.
I'll go over this again later when I have more time, but for now, I just want to say that I don't appreciate spending so much time trying to understand what you've written only to be met with accusations of having deliberately done the exact opposite. I may not be particularly smart, but I'm putting in the effort.
So my efforts didn't yield the correct understanding. I recognize that it happens and that's why I put a short summary of my understanding right at the start so that you can easily correct it without having to read through everything else and expend unnecessary energy trying to parse it out. If you don't want to continue the discussion, that's fine. I can find my answers elsewhere. There's no need to be a dick about it.
