Crap, every day I see signs of how AI is polluting reality, when it could and should only be used to improve humanity.

Also, I’m starting to believe AI is effectively going to destroy or resize several jobs. For example, a friend of mine told me it asked ChatGPT to write several lines of code and it did so, maybe 85% correctly. He went through the whole code and could find mistakes and correct them. Anyhow, long story short, it would have taken his a lot of time to write them himself.

Off topic shout out: why not Chaco sandals for home and/or for going out?

It’s off topic, but OP mentioned having used sandals, so he can maybe consider them a good option

Well, “Snakes in pants” doesn’t have the same ring to it, but it’s now more real than the movie!

You’re our hero!

How do you stay in a community, but filter content you don’t want through keywords?

Is it still being implemented? This awesome article is from 2022.

I just tried to look for newer hits, but I keep getting articles from 2022 (though several from Nature)

I’ve been a lurker on Reddit for forever (about 15 years) and then the APIcalypse happened and my first and unique post on Reddit was asking for a Tildes invite. I didn’t enjoy Tildes, so now I’m here. We’re so much less that I feel I can’t lurk here too, so now I regularly comment here.

I apologize if I haven’t seen it in another comment, but there is a category missing (sort of, let me quickly explain).

I like reading books from my phone with a dark theme (inverted colors). It’s not exactly an e-reader, though it is electronic.

I don’t claim it’s the best way, it’s just very convenient because of (former Reddit)/(now Lemmy) addiction to using my phone to read about cool stuff.

It’s particularly handy before sleeping or when commuting

Edit: added last sentence

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to see that!

Edit: fixed grammar

I was scrolling down to see if anyone said this, since it’s been the case for me so far. I have to say lately I’ve seen a raise in unfriendliness (not referring towards me, but in general), but I suppose it’s inevitable.

I’m still really happy with how people interact with me and with each other, and I haven’t felt that on Reddit for a while (am referring to both pre APIcalypse and after, though I now visit Reddit rarely)

This is tragic.

While the Wikipedia page lists food poisonings from sea turtles as rare, it still feels like a Russian Roulette kind of meal.

Would you eat something knowing that there is a nonzero chance it might kill you (as in really off you, not just give you a bad night at the bathroom)?

I suppose the answer is a lot of people would, since the article itself mentioned another recent poisoning.

It reminds me of the blowfish which is also lethally poisonous if not handled by someone who’s certified to do so.

I suppose everything in life has a risk and I’ve done my share of reckless things, but rolling the dice on food never appealed to me.

Off topic but related: you guys just broke the whole super hero concept for me. Now I can’t go back to reading comics or watching movies ignoring all of these things. I suppose I am happy to be my normal me (though perhaps super strength isn’t so bad)!

This link has been posted and discussed on Reddit too.

Of course, we shouldn’t care about what people on Reddit think (and I noticed this post by chance since I log on there very rarely now), but some users in the thread genuinely ask about joining Lemmy and so I guess it’s useful to know about possible obstacles to trying it that they may perceive.

Beef with chicken for the man with the wok hat at table two, please!

I thought about going with “Royale with chicken” as opposed to “Royale of chicken”, but I went with the second because I thought that the Royale is already intended to be a quarter pounder of beef and it might have seemed beef+chicken instead of a quarter pounder of chicken 😁

Check out the big brain on Brett! That’s right, motherf***er!

But how many royals of chicken are they?

True, lots of places (but I suppose maybe not everywhere) have really wide roads with tons of lanes so it’s easy to drive around with SUV’s, but this is generally not true in Europe where, even in large cities, often roads/lanes are narrower, making SUV’s unwieldy for those driving around them.

Then there’s the pollution aspect which I can’t address, but I imagine SUV’s pollute more on average than other cars (and probably Europe is currently being a bit more stingy on allowing this)

That’s a lot of nuts!

This is it. The hero we need, but not the one we deserve

I have very limited, but non-zero knowledge of Korean society and I agree with what you say at the higher echelon of the most ambitious students (of which I actually met several and fit your remark perfectly), I guess when I wrote I had in mind the various ones I met who just weren’t chasing the same goals and were content (or not fussed) to study elsewhere.

Rethinking the article though, I’m in agreement with you that the percentages mentioned are not really surprising (especially the second one)
