I hate that they think bookshelves are an indicator for it

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I don’t normally like to deny the credibility of websites I know nothing about, however

TIL about Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment considered by some to be an "information hazard" - a concept or idea that can cause you harm by you simply knowing/understanding it (en.wikipedia.org)

Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to...

I mean, it might, because someone invented the idea first and the AI thinks it is funny.

‘They miscalculated’: Gaza’s floating aid pier failing to deliver in rough seas (www.theguardian.com)

The pier has been usable for just 12 days since it began operations on 17 May. On most of those days the assistance arriving by sea has had to be left on the beach as there have been no trucks to distribute it to warehouses in Gaza, because of lack of security....

Just because they had an expectation doesn’t mean it was one based on reality

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Wow so nice of them to not sell their class action bait in accordance with legal requirements.

Voluntarily.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Tbh the custom paint jobs I’ve seen on them usually look pretty good.

Maybe they should consider the value of painting the things by default

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Really putting that tolerant left on display lol

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Definitely not an environmental problem at all.

I’m an anarchist, and something has scratched you, liberal.

What's was your favourite fast food product that unfortunately got retired and never came back?

Here, for a while at McDonald’s there was a 🍔 called “the 1955” and it was the best, big pieces of onion, an special sauce, buns and big piece of beef with bacon (for Europe standards anyways) it disappeared once and came back for an encore only to be removed again and never return.

English degrees are great if you plan to go into law.

To earn money while hoping you make it as an author because otherwise you’ll either starve or become an office clerk.

America will stop trying to sell oil when it runs out of oil and not one second before, no matter the actual cost.

U.S. Military Planes Are in Haiti. Haitians Don’t Know Why. (foreignpolicy.com)

In the past several weeks, I have watched dozens of sleek U.S. military planes descend over Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where I live. They were the first flights to land since gangs blockaded and halted commercial air traffic in March. U.S. news reports suggest that the aircraft contained...

The oligarchy is known for its willingness to give up power peacefully

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Okay, but you did get scammed on that MRI

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Depends on whether you mean Lemmy or .world

$10 says this guy thinks America is full of racists, not like him tho, he’s just telling it like he sees it

DragonTypeWyvern ,

If only someone had pointed out that the undermining of social support systems by neoliberalism will inevitably give rise to fascism!

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Actual and deliberate HIPAA violations meant to cause harm, mind you, not what a brainless antivaxxer thinks is a HIPAA violation.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Found someone who remembered to pay their AI bill

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Speaking of the relationship between language and thought patterns, chartreuse is clearly a red color.

I mean, private companies have been responsible for every launch since the Soviet Union fell (unless China is fully state owned, I don’t know)

NASA modifies equipment sometimes but they were always buying launch vehicles from private industry.

Graduation released in 2007.

Everything since then has been coasting, and YES THAT INCLUDES PABLO

Nah, that’s not fair, it doesn’t.

Pablo sucks.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Eh.

That, too, is the history of the monuments.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

See: Lysenkoism

Though being aware of the biases involved in the literature is always important

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Well, I can’t imagine why a prominent and professional black man who publicly supported the Covid precautions and vaccines would have been the target of a smear campaign.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

And, quite frankly, we actually are getting somewhat close to producible artificial blood, so there’s just not a whole lot of need for the investment.

And those artificial blood studies have DARPA money behind them.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

If they’re not paying you for plasma as an O+ don’t do it, unless you specifically have some unusual subtyping thing.

Apheresis plasma as anything but A or AB is just not something blood banks really need that much for transfusions, and industrial use can damn well pay for you for the privelege.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Neat.

Then don’t waste your life and risk your health to give them O plasma they don’t need for transfusions for free.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I am very familiar with the industry. I am telling you that you are being taken advantage of to benefit a for-profit company that your presumably non-profit blood banks sell your donations to.

It’s one thing when that’s to defray their quite high cost of operating, and they’re selling plasma that would otherwise be wasted.

It’s another thing when they have you coming in just to con you out of plasma.

I Will Fucking Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again — Ludicity (ludic.mataroa.blog)

How stupid do you have to be to believe that only 8% of companies have seen failed AI projects? We can’t manage this consistently with CRUD apps and people think that this number isn’t laughable? Some companies have seen benefits during the LLM craze, but not 92% of them. 34% of companies report that generative AI...

DragonTypeWyvern ,

No, you’re correct, it’s always a little suspect on usage. The kind of thing you only say when you’re up on a high horse, fairly or not.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Yeah, that’s handled by the Royal Guard.

DragonTypeWyvern , (edited )

It’s wild that this list of obvious control mechanisms to empower the clergy ends with

“But seriously, don’t cook a goat in its mother’s milk. That’s just fucked up and cruel.”

I have to assume it was some weirdly specific ritual meal they were banning.

They know what is coming, though you’ll note the writers challenge the specific crediting.

Of course, they also think that “hard times create strong men” bullshit is from 2016 so

Idk

Point is the Saudi royals are fully aware that, if nothing else, the wells will eventually run dry so everyone slowing the green transition is short sighted regardless.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Bro didn’t hear about the bonesaws

You want to go after those kings, do it with an army, not lawyers.

Like, bro, they’re literally sovereigns! They can ignore lawsuits!

DragonTypeWyvern ,

That their royalty are cowards doesn’t stop them from being a sovereign country. Just what, exactly, do you think a lawyer can accomplish? The UN doesn’t announce a global embargo on the lifeblood of modern nations because someone points out they violated a substatute.

How do you get people to wash their vegetables when you're at their house and you don't wanna seem rude?

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing....

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Just to be clear for people trying to learn:

Vegetable rinse/soap products aren’t particularly necessary. Vegetables won’t have the oily coating skin does/can.

You do, however, need to scrub it. It’s honestly a bit of a Catch-22 because if you don’t also clean the vegetable brush every time, guess what’s now a bacterial buffet?

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Negative prices mean the companies are paying people to burn energy because too much energy in the grid is also a problem!

It’s really meant for industry because a couple households turning on their hair dryers isn’t going to cut it

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Direct to customer meaning they sell direct to a customer. Presumably through digital copies and owning a server rack.

You can certainly argue that even that kind of hypothetical billionaire shouldn’t exist, and you’d be right.
