Lol, shitty business man does shitty at business, blames it on his not-customers. Sell me a product bitch. I ain’t fuckin sold on an overpriced pillow. Let alone his overpriced pillow. How many competitors this mother fucker have? It’s a goddamn saturated ass market of fucking pricy pillows. Where’s his marketing? Where’s his diversification? How often are people buying pillows?
This asshole made a fucking niche ass product for a niche ass market and then went on a fucking midlife crisis rant bender about some conspiracy bullshit.
Maybe that was his hair brained idea of marketing. He wanted to sell his pillow to crazy tinfoil hat fuckers. Mother fucker made his niche market even nicher. Maybe he mistook niche for Nietzsche.
I took it the other way, instead of us teaching the machines, we should have the machines teaching us, or develop the machines to teach us at least.
What’s the point of having all the information in the world at our fingertips if we’re just going to ignore it in preference of what we already agree with?
Reading through these comments is depressing and my only hope is that I will be dead before the droughts lead to food shortages that effect me. I like eating, I like eating good food, I like having good food available when I want it. I don’t like being hungry. I hope I’m dead before I have to deal with starvation. At least nuclear war would be quick.
Megaprojects are a pipe dream. We can’t even deal with a lowball pandemic together as a nation. What hope do we have of coming together as a world? Let alone for something that isn’t going to have immediate consequences slapping us in the face. We’re a pathetic society that can’t do anything good. All we do is consume. Mr. Smith was right, we’re a virus.
We’re heading for a post-apocalyptic sci-fi future, and all the horrible shit that goes along with it.
In a fucked up way, our only hope is if a mega power somehow dominates the world through some horrific war and consolidates power, while somehow avoiding nuclear war and then does a quick 180° straight into eco-fascism. That’s the glorious future we have to look forward to. Life under a global authoritarian regime with severe austerity measures to deal with global warming. People will starve, people will be executed. The horrors of Stalinism will be our reality, and it is the only thing that can save us from ourselves.
I fucking hope I die, because I wasn’t built for suffering.
I guess it’s kind of technically not referring directly to racism. They are technically white people who are also technically nationalists.
Nationalist - “a person who strongly identifies with their own nation and vigorously supports its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations.”
-the google first result definition
White Person - “White is a racialized classification of people and a skin color specifier, generally used for people of European ancestry, although the definition can vary depending on context, nationality, and point of view.”
-the google first result definition
So you could have people who were nationalistic for other reasons, such as economics, manufacturing, self sustaining infrastructure, military power… who also happen to be a white person.
For the sake of argument, semantically, not wrong.
It should be noted that a nation is not a race.
The fact that there are a significant number of racist white people who call themselves white nationalists just ruins the term for the rest of the white people who are also nationalists without the racism.
I assume Nazis like the term because they support a “white nation” and are not treating white and nationalist as two grammatically distinct terms. Kind of a racist double entendre.
Just another example of Nazi’s adopting something and ruining it for everyone else.
I’m curious about the state or Zika and West Nile now too.
West Nile got here in the early 2000’s, and I was hearing about Zika in 2016ish.
Now we can add Malaria to the bingo card.
Just need chikungunya and dengue fever now.
And that’s just mosquitoes.
Tick populations booming, so thats Lyme disease. Not to mention the invasive swarming ticks.
What other fun bugs do we have that spread diseases?
Sand flies?
Deer flies?
I vaguely remember something about them trying to revoke some kind of licensing that let people use their intellectual property, but they ended up settling for rewording the licensing because the backlash from the customers was significant. Ie. Boycotting.
Or something along those lines. Business fucks around, business finds out. They’ll try again in the future, but there are plenty of other table top games people can roll dice to now.
I’m sure the economy will turn around once WW3 starts, wars always fix economic problems!
I wish I was joking.
NCBI’s GenBank has some and they’re trying to get more.
Here’s an article about why it’s hard. Spoiler alert, it’s poverty.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8795520/
Also I suggest checking out GenBank and BLAST, whether you’re working in biology or not they’re fun to play around with.
I’m seeing a lot of people saying take the chance.
At the same time I can’t help but think how disappointing it must be as a woman to not be able to have a platonic friendship with a guy without them thinking it’s something more or wanting it to be. Maybe she thinks you’re just a decent friend. If you take that shot there’s a good chance she’ll keep her distance in the future.
On the flip side I can’t help but think of all the stories of girls flirting with guys who are completely oblivious.
Not enough info to make a good determination, other than life is short and you’re young, you can afford to take a risk or two. Personally, I wouldn’t but that’s cause I’m a coward.
People finding out the internet never forgets, and never forgives.
I think there’s a problem with people wanting a fully developed brand new technology right out the gate. The cell phones of today didn’t happen overnight, it started with a technology that had limitations and people innovated.
AI is a technology that has limitations, people will innovate it. Hopefully.
I think my favorite potential use case for AI is academics. There are countless numbers of journal articles that get published by students, grad students and professors, and the vast majority of those articles don’t make an impact. Very few people read them, and they get forgotten. Vast amounts of data, hypotheses and results that might be relevant to someone trying to do something good, important or novel but they will never be discovered by them. AI can help with this.
Of course there’s going to be problems that come up. Change isn’t good for everyone involved, but we have to hope that there is a net good at the end. I’m sure whoever was invested in the telegram was pretty choked when the phone showed up, and whoever was invested in the carrier pigeon was upset when the telegram showed up. People will adapt, and society will benefit. To think otherwise is the cynical take on the same subject. The glass is both half full and half empty. You get to choose your perspective on it.
I vaguely remember hearing something about redhat in the past doing something else the Linux community didn’t like. I think it was back around 2008ish. Can anyone jog my memory? I was a bit too young to care at the time.
The problem for me is that I’m always trying to read shit that is boring as fuck, for like self betterment or something. Like I try to read non-fiction history, or a textbook, or some award winning abstract cerebral literature shit. Y’know, to learn something or get a different perspective and generally be a better person.
My brain doesn’t like that shit. My brain wants to read about emotionally repressed wizards shooting red lightning and werewolves that have too much sex. Way too much sex.
Maybe you have a similar problem as I do. You’re trying to read based on what you think is logical to read. You only have so many hours in a day so you want your reading to have a purpose or a benefit, but the books you enjoy reading don’t make you think or teach you a skill. They’re emotional fluff, but they’re what you actually enjoy reading. Does that sound like you? That’s me in a nutshell. Logically at odds with what I enjoy.
If I want to actually get through that other boring crap I have to set a schedule, read like 3 pages a day and put it down. I have to stick to the schedule, like working out. It takes forever to get through a book. It works though.
The infamous nipple bot. Boldly finding nipples where no nipples were found before.
Ok so there’s a thing called Colyte, thats the brand name. It is a polyethylene glycol electrolyte juice. You can ask for it at a pharmacy, they might have a different brand. It tastes pretty good. Now it’ll get you real cleaned out, so you’ll have to keep eating like some kind of horrific human centipede. Drink lots of water, stay hydrated.
I looked at the bottom of lemmy, and this is what I found.
People hated him, for he told them the truth.
It’s marketing, it’s propaganda, it’s psyops. Influencing what posts make it to the front page, what posts stay in hot, what opinions get upvoted or downvoted just to make them look popular or unpopular. Mass reporting for posts that offend them. Having entirely fake, scripted conversations to convey points in a more trusted manner in order to influence the reader.
Remember, nobody is immune propaganda.
Scholarly articles have ‘impact’ measurements. ie. The impact they have on that field. My understanding is that it’s a combination of # of times it’s been cited, # of times its been downloaded/read with a heavier weighting towards citation. You can filter articles by ‘impact’ in many library databases.
A theory that is not well accepted will be cited less, even if it’s being cited to be debunked the citations still count as impact, however an article with a greater impact will be cited significantly more which suggests the theory is more compelling.
As far as my understanding goes.
There are always things people have in common. More-so today with the accessibility to media provided by the internet. That said being a friend to someone isn’t about checking a bingo card of similar interests. It’s about listening to their experiences and being interested.
What do people watch on tv, what are they listening to, where have they vacationed recently, did you hear about xyz happening in the news.
Kids. People with kids talk about their kids.
Some of that might overlap with your experiences, some of it won’t, it doesn’t need to. You just need to shoot the shit, hear what they’ve been up to, say what you’ve been up to, and enjoy doing it. Maybe do an activity of somekind while your at it, maybe just eat dinner.
The age range is just when people get busy with life and have less free time to actually do things. So they have less to talk about. Work becomes their lives. That changes eventually, wait another five year period. You get settled in your career and your focus shifts more towards what’s going on in your actual life.
You should look up ‘speech communities’. It’s a linguistic anthropology thing. Essentially boils down to ‘people talk differently and about different things depending who they’re talking to and where’. In your case you want a group of work friends to talk about work topics with, separate from your group of childhood friends, who you can talk about non-work topics with.
