“All parts for this vehicle, whether internal or from suppliers, need to be designed and built to sub 10 micron accuracy.”
LOL
Yeah ok.
Tell me you know nothing about manufacturing, without telling me you know nothing about manufacturing.
That one quote - assuming it is accurate - explains that Musk is even more of an idiot than everyone already knew he was. You don’t make things at those tight tolerances. A couple of dimensions on a part might be (for instance the bore on a press fit sleeve), but you’d almost never, ever hold an entire part to that tight of a tolerance.
In imperial units, 10 microns is .00039". A human hair is roughly .001 to .005" thick. So he is asking for a tolerance that is 3 to 10x smaller than the thickness of a human hair. To put the absurdity of Musk’s demand into perspective, most parts that go into a car are roughly an order of magnitude looser in tolerance with some dimensions being 2 orders of magnitude looser.
That difference might not sound like a lot, but holding something to +/-.0039 versus +/-.00039" could easily triple the price of an item or more. Easy. You use a tight tolerance only when you need to - that’s engineering 101. Some parts could easily be +/- .039" and not affect their performance on bit. Close tolerance engine parts might be held at what Musk is demanding, but never “ALL PARTS” would be held to that.

<p>Impulsivity and excitement seeking are distinctly associated with alcohol use and related problems in emerging adulthood. Specifically, impulsivity is associated with alcohol problems, while excitement seeking is associated with quantity and frequency of alcohol use (Finn, 2002; Gunn et al., 2013). Given how critical these traits are to alcohol use disorder, such that they play central roles in prominent theories such as Finn’s (2002) cognitive motivational theory (CMT), we examined how impulsivity, excitement seeking, and related constructs were captured by an instrument used in clinical practice, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–3 (MMPI-3; Ben-Porath & Tellegen, 2020a, 2020b). In a sample of 401 college students, we investigated MMPI-3 scales representing the CMT constructs—impulsivity/novelty seeking, excitement seeking, and low harm avoidance—by examining correlations between MMPI-3 Specific Problem scales and theoretically relevant criterion measures. Then, we used these scales to predict alcohol-related outcomes. Impulsivity (IMP), Social Avoidance (SAV), and Anxiety-Related Experiences (ARX) scales captured the core CMT constructs that are said to reflect personality-based vulnerabilities to alcohol-related problems. Further, Impulsivity and Social Avoidance scales incremented the Substance Abuse (SUB) scale in predicting risky drinking outcomes (alcohol problems and quantity and frequency of use). Overall, results support the use of select MMPI-3 scales in providing a nuanced assessment of personality-based vulnerabilities in college-aged drinkers.

As others have said … it’s basically up to you … subscribe to any or all!
To provide some broader perspective … it can be a confusing part of the space here, especially if you’re coming from reddit where all sub reddits have to have a distinct name.
In effect, there isn’t that much of a difference between here and reddit. Sub-reddits with (slightly) different names were often about exactly the same thing but with different moderators and cultures or vibes. That’s basically what’s going on here when multiple communities have the same or very similar name. They’re not the same thing, they just different communities focused on the same topic, with different moderators and (sometimes at least) different cultures, moderation policies and vibes.
Some things which are different here:
Lemmy is decentralised, meaning that it’s made of multiple servers that share their data with each other but are all essentially independent.
This allows the users on completely separate servers to interact as though they’re on one server (like on Reddit). But, when two communities are on two different servers (often called instances), they can be more independent from each other than on reddit.
This manifests largely in the ability all servers have of deciding which other servers they do and do not share data with. Not sharing data is often referred to as defederation. When a server defederates from a another server, users of that defederated server can no longer interact with a community on the server that’s defederated them.
Because of this, any two communities, while focused on the same topic, may have not just different cultures but different groups of people/users that are physically able to interact and post there.
A famous example actually of this is actually that lemmy.world and beehaw.org are defederated from each other (actually beehaw defederated from lemmy.world). This means that users on those two servers are not interacting with the technology communities on the other server. Users on lemmy.ml, however, like myself, aren’t defederated from either, and so I am and often do interact with all three technology communities. Given your server, you’re probably in the same boat.
Generally, people not accustomed to this complexity find it either confusing or even unnecessary. My take is that it’s a different kind of friction that is the trade off for more independence, freedom and robustness, as lemmy is now made of over a thousand independent servers, each hosting their own copies of the communities they subscribe to, each providing their users their own hosting and defederation and moderation choices.
Beyond all of that, this is hopefully a situation that should get better when user-defined multi-communities come along. It seems to be a feature in the works, and should make it easier to keep track of multiple but similar communities. Other features have also been suggested for this issue, so you’re clearly not alone in finding it troublesome, which means hopefully it will get better.
IMO, simple user-defined multi-communities, whose member communities are easily sharable is the way to go.
You can absolutely have the opposite example. I’m subbed to a bunch of niche Lemmy instances, and no one has posted anything in there for literally months.
A small number of them have tried, but quickly stfu when it was pointed out to them that they have zero standing here.
I got into it a few weeks ago here on Lemmy.world with some asshole using the same username as he does on Reddit, a mod of 39 subs, when he started lazily regurging all the reasons why Reddit’s decisions are delightfully benign and good and to be celebrated . . . yeah, I wasn’t having that, except here there is no one who cares about Reddit admin enough to shut me up.
Funny thing, he ended up getting all his Lemmy posts modded the same day. And not just with me: when I looked at the modlog he’d gotten into it that same day with someone in every single Lemmy thread he’d posted to. I haven’t looked again but my guess is that he either created a new Lemmy account with a different name or just shut the fuck up and went back home to Reddit like a good serf.
Also, there have been a few rumors about various mods of Reddit subs demanding that popular federation communities of the same name be handed over to their control as well by the admins of an instance, claiming “ownership” and throwing out some non-specific threats to make that happen, but then when that didn’t work out for them (I guess when the uproarious howls of derisive laughter finally stopped) they stfu too and presumably crawled back into their Reddit holes as well.
I love watching stupid, self-important fools get escorted rapidly and with force back into their own lane.
Yeah, I was thinking of scraping the active users as well but from what I observed when trying different instances, the active users aren’t counted separately by instance so the active users would just be all the active users on that community no matter where they are from. That info is already available on lemmyverse.net so I didn’t want to copy it.
I bet there is a way to do this with the Lemmy API but I don’t have a good understanding on how to use it so I am just waiting for someone more knowledgeable than me to try this again but with more care.
Edit: Unrelated but I went through the subreddit stats for a bunch of subs and it seems like posts and comments for a lot of them have dropped off after the API changes so that seems bad for Reddit and good for us.
They are two separate posts, it’s just cross-posting won’t flood your instances “all” feed. They would still appear as a post in /c/London and one in /c/NewYork with separate comment threads
Is that a grouping the user makes?
In the Reddit apps that had multi-sub functionality then I believe they were user created but this is a brave new world and we don’t have to do it that way. People or instances or communities could create multi-communities and people could subscribe to them so only a central file would be updated. If it stopped being updated or was too broad or too specific, it could be forked. I wonder if that could even be rolled into a possible future wiki system as it need only be a text-based file listing the communities.
I was trying to address a point that is frequently raised by people that gave Lemmy a try but are not planning to stay: seeing the same content posted across a few similar communities hinders content discovery, and just provides a worse browsing experience than centralized solutions like Reddit.
Not trying to be mean, but … you’re making a post about redundancy because other people make posts about redundancy? :D
In these other posts, a frequent answer is: Reddit isn’t that much different. A popular example is /r/gaming or /r/games or whatever. Apparently there are multiple subs for the same topic, sometimes with little to no differences.
Then some people object “but that’s not the same, they have different names”, to which others reply “on lemmy, the full name includes the instance, so we don’t have same name communities here, either”.
I think, bottom line, the two platforms aren’t very different in this regard. On both, users can create new subs/comms even if the exact same content already exists. And they do. Sometimes both survive, sometimes not. On both, users decide “with their feet”.
One relevant difference might be that in the Fediverse, redundancy actually has value. It protects against defederation, unstable servers, servers disappearing.
I still see value in combining duplicates. When I see a new community popping up, and I know a very similar thing already exists, I might leave a note in the new community wether they might want to participate in the other community instead. Just in case they were not aware it exists.
But aside from the Fediverse-specific reasons for duplicates, there are additional general reasons, which is why we see the same phenomenon on reddit. For example, people might dislike the moderation in the ‘original’. Or one might allow bots, the other not.
While this is my point of view (“it’s a non-issue”), I also note it’s a topic which is frequently brought up. Apparently, it’s frequently seen as an issue. This may be rooted in perception (including the fact that reddit is monolithic, falsly leading to the misconception it would only have one sub for one topic, all while it still has plenty of redundant duplicates) and communication (I got the feeling the fediverse’s federated structure is sometimes over-emphasized and creates more worries than necessary).
We probably will get technical solutions like grouping on a user-view level. Maybe some apps already have that. GitHub issues exist.
Aside from technical solutions, people can vote with their feet. It is of course perfectly fine to address and re-address the topic. This might help consolidate similar communities. Personally, I think having a few redundant communities is healthy for the nature of the fediverse.
100% disagree and add in the fact that everything here is a ninja ban with no explanation. This place is an echo chamber in places like fuck cars and the socialist subs. Privacy too. Was banned for what I can tell was pointing out that lemmy instances do not protect privacy at all.
This place is an echo chamber in places like fuck cars and the socialist subs
What aspect of fuckcars do you consider an echo chamber?
There’s over a dozen socialism communities, if you find one to be an ‘echo chamber’ then I’d suggest seeking another. I’d imagine the socialism community on Beehaw would have a completely different vibe to the one on Lemmygrad, as an example
Was banned for what I can tell was pointing out that lemmy instances do not protect privacy at all
This is common knowledge though, wouldn’t be surprised if the mods were sick of the same discussion being created over and over again by various users. Something federated - designed to be open, decentralised, unrestricted, cannot be inherently privacy friendly.
If your privacy threat model brings you to an ideological disagreement with federated networks, it would be reasonable to consider moving to an alternative platform IMO.
Maybe it’s because the content here just isn’t as vast. I’m nkt going back to reddit for awhile, but there’s so little to see on lemmy to me. Despite numerous subscriptions, I see very few memes and far too much political content. Of that political content it’s all the same. Sometimes this place feels like a hive-mind. Not that Reddit wasn’t, but it depended on the sub. Now it’s shaped by instance and everything here just feels stale
Not that Reddit wasn’t, but it depended on the sub. Now it’s shaped by instance and everything here just feels stale
Been saying this for months. No one seems to understand what made reddit grow, and it is ironically very much like /r/place when you get down to it:
Reddit was a singular canvas that all users worked on together. Posts, comments, and voting shaped the site as a whole. The front page of Reddit was the result of it’s userbase, and it’s userbase was diverse. Because Reddit forced all users, of all backgrounds and ideologies, to exist together in the same space, and work on the same canvas, it created something living and varied.
You may not have ever gotten along with people from a certain subreddit in th comments, but I promise, the two of you worked together at one point to get a post to the front page or a comment to the top, and you didn’t even know it. Thos little moments where diametrically opposed people shared a liking of something by how they voted. On the surface, everyone bickered. Under the hood, they were all unknowingly agreeing and cooperating all the time, and that was what powered reddit’s engine: it’s diverse userbase’s activity.
That’s why gated communities like Tildes and all these curated instances will never reach Reddit levels: they are starving the engine.

<p class="a-plus-plus">A broad range of factors have been associated with the development of adolescent loneliness. In the family context, a lack of parental support and high levels of parental psychological control have systematically been linked to loneliness. On the biological level, DNA methylation (which is an epigenetic process that suppresses gene expression) is believed to play a role in the development of loneliness. Specifically, high levels of DNA methylation in genes that play an important role in the functioning of the human stress response system are believed to elevate the risk of loneliness. Moreover, DNA methylation levels in these stress-related genes can be influenced by stressful environmental factors, suggesting a potential mediating role of DNA methylation in the association between parenting behaviors and loneliness.

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Background</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Air pollution has been linked to a variety of childhood mental health problems, but results are inconsistent across studies and the effect of exposure timing is unclear. We examined the associations between air pollution exposure at two time-points in early development and psychotic-like experiences (PLEs), and emotional and conduct symptoms, assessed in middle childhood (mean age 11.5 years).</p>

<span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec2"></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Methods</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Participants were 19,932 children selected from the NSW Child Development Study (NSW-CDS) with available linked multi-agency data from birth, and self-reported psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) and psychopathology at age 11–12 years (middle childhood). We used binomial logistic regression to examine associations between exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub class="a-plus-plus">2</sub>) and particulate matter less than 2.5 μm (PM<sub class="a-plus-plus">2.5</sub>) at two time-points (birth and middle childhood) and middle childhood PLEs, and emotional and conduct symptoms, with consideration of socioeconomic status and other potential confounding factors in adjusted models.</p>

Ex-Tesla employee reveals shocking details on worker conditions: ‘You get fired on the spot.’::Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s ‘ultra hardcore’ work culture is revealed to have led to long hours, unsafe conditions, and harassment for employees.
Tesla preys on young and naive employees looking to get their foot in the door.
For instance back on Reddit in many of the engineering subs, there were countless new threads started by fresh engineering graduates who were hell bent on getting a job at Tesla. Many of us would warn them to stay as far away as possible from them (as well as SpaceX) but they wouldn’t listen no matter what we told them.
Most of these people weren’t dumb. Naive, sure, but not dumb. Some of them had a plan where they would bust their asses working at Tesla for a year or two and then that would be a great addition to their resume. Would it work for them? Not sure, but I do know that HR departments do think highly of seeing Tesla or SpaceX on one’s resume, so maybe that plan wasn’t quite so bad. I sure as fuck have no interest in working there, but then again, I like having some time-off.
I'm assuming most of us here want a large community. The reality is most people aren't into technology nearly as much as many of the people actually on the Fediverse. For other people who are into tech (like myself and a lot of people here), the federation technology itself being promoted as a core component of the appeal makes...
I'm assuming most of us here want a large community.
Meh. It is not a big driver for me. I have been using text based forums since before slashdot. Some were big, like slashdot, most were not.
Personally, massive is not better.
I didn't use reddit because it was huge, I ended up there because to swallowed a few niche forums I used to visit.
Outside the small single interest subs, reddit reminded me of slashdot. I felt like a small voice drowned out by sheer mass of the crowd.
Yet, when I've seen federated software recommended on other social media websites, every article and many times, we tell everyone about the underlying technology first and THEN about how they actually compare to Twitter/Reddit
In marketing there is a term USP. Unique Sell Proposition. What does your product have that others do not?
The distributed nature of federated software is its USP.
"Why should I move from reddit/twitter/etc?"
It is social media that allows privacy and stops Corps selling your data is its USP.
If the person you are talking to does not care about the above, they have no reason to move.
You said as much yourself:
Telling them about tech-related things that they don't know about or aren't really interested in doesn't help much.
The problem is that in all other aspects of social media: ease of use, userbase etc the various flavours of federated social media are last.
TLDR: If the average user does not care about the technical reasons federated social media differs from the rest. They will see little to no benefit in switching.
The local artist down the street likely doesn't care about having a deep understanding about federation works or the benefits of decentralized versus centralized social media. They just want somewhere to post their art for others to see and comment on others in their space.
Personally, I am a bit sceptical about the long term sustainability and scalability of data storage for data intensive (images and video) federated services.
If they see a large influx of users and usage, the hosting costs are going to rise fast.
Unless the artist you mention is willing to set up and host their own instance and that is another jump beyond getting them to create an account.
What @ada said. I use the seirdy fediblock fedinuke list which is basically a consolidated list of the worst of the absolute worst instances that exist across the fediverse, hence why there are so many on there that are on completely different platforms. Lemmy’s cross interactions with other activitypub software is finicky at best, but as a gay jewish dude it makes me more comfortable hosting and engaging in such a space when those places are blocked out of an abundance of caution. Basically all of them are either extremist instances or known to host illegal content. I didn’t defederate from as much instances as my book/writing focused instance, the NSFW subs are federated (and I will federate with those again in time on literature.cafe, they just clog the living hell out of c/all) still there at least as I hope instance based blocking and more granular federation options are coming soon.
I looked at mastodon.art’s policys and content guidelines a bit and utilized it as inspiration as well as consolidating those rules so they fit neater on the sidebar and also reflected lemmy a bit better.
Basically, all art that is posted on the instance that is original content is solely owned by the poster alone. I claim no usage rights or ownership of anything that is posted there except for my own art that is explicitly tagged as such and promise to never use the artwork that is posted there that I do not personally own for any reason whatsoever beyond cases of headers and icons, and those instances will only be done when users explicitly consent for that purpose or set it themselves. The site icon and header right now are placeholders using creative commons images, but in the future if someone decides to create one and they grant permission to use, or someone makes an icon and or header for communities and offers to set it for the communities there it will be done when permission is given by its creator. This instance will never be monetized, and will rely solely on donations and volunteers. I love art of all kinds and want to give it a space on lemmy.
Any content that is posted that isn’t original content must be directly credited at the very least with preferably fair use critique/discussion and clearly stated as not OC. So long as it’s something like, “oh hey this is pretty!” is preferred and serves to contribute to something new beyond just reposting the content. Linking to artwork of artists works must be done so in a way the centers that artist, and if they do not want their content shared that must be respected. Alongside that, content that is paywalled must not be reposted regardless. If someone posts something on say, Instagram for example, it’s preferable to link to their post and or content in a prominent way at the very least.
Artists who are taking commissions or offering to sell their work are encouraged to post so prominently in the post body or directly link to their store in their profile, or both. Focusing creators is deeply important to me personally.
I am figuring how to best add to to the sites robots.txt to filter out AI scraping on both this instance and the book/writing focused one as well. (@ada if you have tips on how to best do that I’d appreciate it)
The app that synchronizes multiple lemmy accounts so you can migrate and keep backup accounts across instances, it’s opensource and free, currently working in android and windows....
This unsubscribed me from twenty+ communities on all of my instances. It first tried to subscribe all of my accounts to all of the communities of my largest instance, which is what I wanted it to do. One instance failed to sub to 20+ communities, which was fine, as it was a smaller instance.
Ten minutes later, however, I got a notification that it had unsubscribed all of my other instances from those communities as well. It took me about an hour to figure out most of the ones that had been lost, and even now I think I’m missing a few.
I grew up in an evangelical household and went to a Christian school where they only taught creationism (and a little “micro evolution” but not much)....
Scishow is good for up-to-date info about a variety of scientific fields. If you want to check if your scientific knowledge is up to date (or if you want to keep it up to date), I highly recommend checking them out. As for evolution in particular, I can’t really say. Biology is an umbrella term for a vast number of incredibly niche sub-fields, and even something that would seem straightforward, like evolution, can be broken up into multiple fields of study. For instance, I know people who study evolutionary microbiology, which is the study of how bacteria evolve.
I’m not sure if you’re looking for general knowledge of scientific concepts or if you’re looking for in-depth analysis of leading-edge, niche scientific concepts. If it’s the former, I’m sure that videos from even 10 years ago is probably fine. World-changing breakthroughs don’t happen that often. And while maybe there might be minor inaccuracies, overall it’ll still be accurate enough to get a general understanding. If it’s the latter, you’ll unfortunately have to learn how to read scientific literature

<p class="a-plus-plus">Evidence for the prospective associations among parental failure mindset, helicopter parenting, and children’s intelligence mindset is lacking. This three-wave longitudinal study (12 months apart between waves) addressed this research gap by testing whether perceived maternal helicopter parenting mediated the link between perceived maternal failure mindset and intelligence mindset. Participants included 525 Chinese adolescents (47.2% girls, <em class="a-plus-plus">M</em><sub class="a-plus-plus"><em class="a-plus-plus">age</em></sub> = 15.41 years, <em class="a-plus-plus">SD</em> = 0.22). Random-intercept cross-lagged analysis suggests that mothers with stronger failure-is-debilitating mindsets are more likely to engage in helicopter parenting, which may in turn contribute to stronger endorsements of a fixed mindset of intelligence in their adolescent children. The relation between maternal helicopter parenting and children’s intelligence mindset appeared to be reciprocal, i.e., children’s fixed mindset may elicit more helicopter parenting over time.</p>

There’s an instance admin community that should be able to help out with technical issues !lemmy_admin
There’s a matrix groupchat with most of the big instance admins as members, but I don’t know a lot about it tbh. Also would recommend letting people know your subreddit is trying lemmy at !reddit , and there’s another specifically for people announcing new communities but sadly can’t recall the name at the moment
I haven’t had a look at your sidebar yet, but add rules for bots and the such as you wish - here the frequently seen ones are autotldr and pipedvideobot. There is also communitylinkfixer but I haven’t seen it in a while.
No idea of the best way to promote it on Reddit, aside from popping a link in your sidebar over there? May be worth checking out the reddit communities for the three major instances that have migrated most of their users from reddit - lemmy.one (PrivacyGuides), programming.dev (Programming), and lemmy.dbzer0.com (Piracy)
That other place had multireddits, which were feeds of subs you grouped together, like for politics and news, or gaming. But since it’s such a popular feature I have no doubt Lemmy will eventually implement something similar, just like the ability to block instances

We need a more user-friendly approach to telling people about the Fediverse (kbin.social)
I'm assuming most of us here want a large community. The reality is most people aren't into technology nearly as much as many of the people actually on the Fediverse. For other people who are into tech (like myself and a lot of people here), the federation technology itself being promoted as a core component of the appeal makes...
