The Dow is over 45000! I said over a big number, so it must be good right?

Programming@programming.dev•GitHub: We going to train on your data after all

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Coca Cola seems desperate to regain lost customers by trying to intergrade
0·4 days agoMaybe shouldn’tve give a presidential coca cola to an openly fascist dorito.
The worst case scenario also being the most common.
I don’t understand how asking that question to “my politicians” would achieve anything.
“My politicians” are not arguing that prices increasing by a bit makes it okay for prices to increase by a lot. I’d argue that most of them would say that a little bit of inflation is good for the economy while hyperinflation is bad. Which I interpret as them knowing that “a little” is not the same as “a lot”. Which the above commenter doesn’t seem to know. Or at least knows only when it is convenient. Schrodinger’s knowledge perhaps.

Programming@programming.dev•Should I teach students who doesn't know computer science C or JavaScript first?
9·6 days agoIdk why you are discarding python for the reason that makes python the best option. If there is a programming language that a non-programmer should know, it’s python.
Funny how that only works one way. It’s never “they are gonna tax me anyway, so I’ll pay double the taxes”.
If you are not fine with paying more than you should, why are you fine with prices increasing more than they should?
So everyone is either a farmer, a thief, or an unethical food-obtainer. Got it.
Always fun to find out other people’s values and ethics.
These are not losses. They’ll just push up the price of goods based on their chance of being stolen.
You’re not stealing from the store, you’re stealing from everyone else that actually pays for the products.
Unless you’re stealing from a small shop that doesn’t have the time and resources to calculate price based on theft. In which case, you are an asshole for stealing from a small business.
So every working person is an asshole and the only ethical way to obtain food is to steal it?
Doesn’t seem too ethical to me. Sounds like a justification for being an antisocial asshole.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google Search referrals to the web have plummeted, AI links are 'less than 1%' of trafficEnglish
29·10 days agoA LOT of people out there just read whatever tho google AI tells them on their search. They’ve been trained that the answer is always the 1st non-ad link on Google. And now the thing at the top of a Google search is their LLM answer.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•How to Sucesfully post about the Fediverse on RedditEnglish
0·10 days agoI’m not saying that you shouldn’t do what you do. You just asked why someone would be against doing an image post when it could be a text post and I answered.
What you are doing cannot be done with text posts because of reason 2 and 3.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•How to Sucesfully post about the Fediverse on RedditEnglish
0·10 days agoIt’s a hyperbole. It’s not unethical. But many people don’t like it/hate it.
- An image is just more expensive than text. Text is usually ~1 byte per character. An uncompressed image is ~3bytes per pixel. Of course, most images are compressed, and compression does a lot of heavy lifting. But still. Also, you don’t need to uncompress plain text. More amount of bytes means more storage expense, more network expense, and worse user experience due to latency.
- We have plenty of tools that work for text. You can copy-paste it. You can easily edit it with just a keyboard. It is easily configurable via fonts and font sizes.
- Accessibility: text can be read by screen readers. Images (without alt text) cannot. Maybe there are some fancy screen readers that OCR images, but then it’s the case of point 1.
- Text is easily indexable. Which means that it’s searchable. If the reddit search tool were any good, it could find the post. Not for images. Alternatively, 3rd party search tools such as google and DDG work.
There’s probably many more points.
There is absolutely no one hard working or intelligent enough to be worth 4M$/hr.
Doesn’t matter how many Harvard-level degrees you have.
The only possible argument for someone earning that much money is if “they took a huge risk by investing a lot of money in a hugely risky business opportunity”.
And in that case, such risk should not exist. If a government wants to truly encourage entrepreneurship, it should provide with the basic needs for everyone, even if they lose everything in a risky business that didn’t pay off. At the expense of course of taxing it when it does pay off.
Otherwise, only the rich can be entrepreneurs.

News@lemmy.world•Panicked Pentagon Sends Land Invasion Force to Middle East
151·17 days agoNot so sure though. Some are going to die to distract from the Trump-Epstein files. The split is not clear though. Let’s say 50% for Trump-Epstein, 50% for oil.

21·20 days agoI’m kinda glad they won’t. If I tell you how easy it is to install an ad blocker and you don’t, you’re just funding my leeching through your data and time that you claim has no value.

science@lemmy.world•Scientists Invented an Entirely New Method of RefrigerationEnglish
0·23 days agoWe already can convert a heat differential into electricity.
Converting “just heat” into electricity is impossible though, that would break the laws of thermodynamics and create a perpetual motion machine. There is heat literally everywhere, even the coldest things we have made are not exactly 0K. So you could create electricity for free anywhere.
Not a movie, but death note.
If the dude didn’t take the obvious bait every episode there’s no way of catching him.


The UN is not a society. There are many groups without a leader. But when talking about anarchism, people usually mean anarchist society.
That’s like saying FAANG is anarchism, because they talk among themselves without there being a leader.
