Thing gets hot: 😐

Thing stays hot for centuries: 🤯

This “being sane” LARP convention sure is immersive! Where’s the exit though

Gender is not binary

Gender cannot be expressed as a 1 bit value

Also they all think it’s the end times anyway.

Probably for exclucivity or something.

Similar to stories of orchid pickers way back when destroying the habitats afterward for exclusivity.

Just make the midlife crisis white tourists go back up and clean up after themselves /s

Tough men don’t tend to brag about their toughness and use it put down others. If you’re so insecure that you make posts like this you’re not nearly as tough as you think you are.

Weird how it’s never the tankie instances doing the most blatantly authoritarian shit on Lemmy

“Sorry my fat American fingers accidentally entered the wrong code, you understand.”

Yet even this nearly pointless action is infinitely more than you will ever accomplish.

If it’s entirely up to us to provide human rights to ourselves, and the huge proportion of people who can’t do that and therefore don’t have a supposed human right are brushed off as personal failures rather than systemic, then sure seems like human rights don’t actually mean anything.

The Federation president is probably passable. Though Star Trek really doesn’t show how the Federation government is structured probably because they don’t want to lean too much into the socialist undertones in case they get canceled (like actually canceled) for it.

Dump phase of the pump and dump

*unionised

Fair enough, I apologise for jumping to conclusions then.

Saw the title, was about to waste at least half an hour giving this my “quote most the article and lose my mind commentating on it” treatment, but it’s actually pretty reasonably written. Touché, Global News.

I would still have liked to see them go into more detail on what the term “sugar” means chemically, though. To ensure readers aren’t confusing it for straight table sugar, AKA sucrose. That’s always a pitfall when terms have both a common language or layperson meaning and a more rigorous scientific meaning.

China is good at compressing the existing models by stealing the answers they give you to make models that have equivalent performance that are way cheaper (plagiarism)

Lol plagerism is when they take your shitty product and actually make it better apparently. Begs the question why China manages to succeed at this when Western companies that own the original product can’t. You’d think they’d always be one step ahead of those damn plagerising Chinese scum or at least would be able to do the exact same thing China does.

Also if you’re calling plagerism on this I’m calling plagerism on all of AI. You can’t accept any generative AI while simultaneously pearl clutching when someone else plagerises your country’s AI. So pick one. Either we ban all AI for plagerising all of humanity or we don’t give a shit when one AI company plagerises another.

You can always make Boeing optional

It’s morally correct

Technically valid but extremely rich coming from a US state of all places.

Safe to say they’re not against spying in general.

If you’re an average American, the spying Iowa allows and embraces put you in far graver danger than spying by China who doesn’t give a shit about you or what you have to say about them. America, as we’ve seen, cares slightly more about what Americans say than China does.

I’d stay clear of Temu mainly because it’s a shitty platform replete with blatant scams and you risk losing your money. Go to an actually reputable Chinese site if you want to buy from one, or don’t if you don’t.

Also don’t buy cloud/app enabled cameras if you give a shit about privacy. From anywhere, period, because doing so guarantees you’ll be spied on by someone, China or otherwise. Roll your own local network camera system or get ones that only record to local storage with no smart features.

Don’t you remember after the defeat of Tarantulon 6 when Richard Nixon gave everyone a $300 tax refund in the form of a Tricky Dick Fun Bill.
