it's so nice to sing
Even though the sound coming from my head is totally analog.
If two children are conceived on the same day but one is born prematurely, both children are technically the same age.
Because of the date of conception and all that.
What if cars grew from use - like animals. A lot of people with big/small vehicles today would be flipped around.
Just thinking about all the… Shall we say “under used” pickup trucks in my neck of the woods. Bought to look like the owner moves shit - when in reality it just signals to me they have the money to make others do it for them.
The problem with AI alignment is that humans aren't aligned
I’m sure there are some AI peeps here. Neural networks scale with size because the number of combinations of parameter values that work for a given task scales exponentially (or, even better, factorially if that’s a word???) with the network size. How can such a network be properly aligned when even humans, the most advanced...
The saying is "eat the rich" because "kill the rich" would get you banned from social media, yet eat implies cannibalism and is thus more offensive.
A year in Mars is longer than the ones on Earth, so ppl living on Mars would celebrate less birthdays and technically die younger.
Imagine how gross it would be if our pets sweat like humans did...
Thoughts during my 3rd cold shower of the day, trying to keep cool in this muggy weather in the North East
Reddit will, at some point, be automatically installed on some phones likes Facebook and Twitter.
People born in the year 2000 don't have to try and calculate how old they are when people ask them their age
I was born in 1989 and the math is HARD some days.
Curiosity is not a guarantee of intelligence, but a lack of curiosity is the opposite. Curiosity is far easier to probe in smalltalk and interviews without self awareness filters.
Barbie and Chevrolet parternered, but it wasn't to promote the Malibu.
Just seems like a missed opportunity
As we witness the recent mass exodus from Reddit to Lemmy - Whoever named this Platform after Lemmings, must have had a freaking good foresight.
We're lucky that our bodies require sleep, otherwise our cultures would have us working 16-20 hour days.
If you have reddit coins that are about to go to waste... I would search for a "fuck u/spez" post and award it as much as you can
A little extra traffic will go to reddit… but fuck them. They’re taking monetary value away from your account, so ya might as well use the coins you have as you see fit (while you still can). Fuck u/spez and fuck reddit
Given that we vote for entire comments, we don't expect people to split their comment into many sub-comments.
A different thing are conversation back and forths: each comment is in a new branch of the comment tree.
The NSFW communities on Lemmy are quite perfectly named. If you want to see ass, you type Lemmy C/Ass.
You know, since on Lemmy its C/. Quite funny IMO
Capitalism is the paywall of life
If they could somehow monetize breathing, they would
The First Rule of Warfare is that the "First Rule of Warfare" is always the First Rule of Warfare.
You may have heard that the First Rule of Warfare is… [insert actual advice here]. ie.; don’t attack a stronger enemy, there’s no such thing as overkill, the weapon is always loaded, etc. They’re all the First Rule of Warfare.
Christian Bale has played Batman and Bateman.
Term "healthy" applies to mainly foods, but jot medicines, which are in fact the most direct way to make us healthy
Tales about Kobolds imply the existence of Monobolds
And I am really scared about those creatures. Kobolds are most often seen alone and presumably searching for their matching partner to unleash their full power in cooperating. But Monobolds probably have their full potential even when working alone. so be aware of some creature looking like a single Kobold!
We probably have more interesting thoughts on the toilet than in the shower.
Honking at someone when the light turns green is no longer rude because he is probably on his phone
The Croc Hunter would have made a very powerful Animorph.
I’ve been reading the Animorph books and had a realization. So many people commented on how the Croc hunter would touch animals, just pick up something that was venomous or plain dangerous, and act like it was not a big deal. Yes, he always cautioned respect for living things, and the general idea was to show that these beings...
