I…don’t get it. This is an old way to help a child that has something stuck in their throat. I mean, the heimlich maneuver was first described in 1974, so I guess this WAS in fact the best technique at the time. Keeping someone from suffocating is kind of important, and this seems like something you can do fast and easy (at least with a relatively small person).

Their concern is not solely based on the gene modification. The impact of introducing a new crop is bigger than that. The golden rice is patented and that often comes with a ton of regulations the local farmers have no control over.

While I wish for there to be a good way to solve the food problem AND find a good use for gene modification, I don’t think that this particular instance is it…

How do they know that you wrote it yourself and didn’t just steal it?

This is a rule to protect themselves. If there is ever a case around this, they can push the blame to the person that committed the code for breaking that rule.

I think you already gave yourself the answer in your own case:

Because I give zero crap about what other people think of me.

This applies to people that aren’t in your inner circle. You want HER to be in that circle and suddenly it actually does matter what SHE thinks of you. You have little to lose with people you don’t really care about, but everything to lose with people you do care about. It’s an evil social twist that makes everything so complicated. High self-esteem is just the ability to quickly pull yourself up when you fall and the knowledge that you actually CAN do so. It mitigates the risks of “putting yourself out there”.

Well…they 'how’l all the fricken time without being asked!

Not op, but I really liked this video, as it explains quite a bit. It is of course a biased video, but still…

Clonezilla is the tool I use after all else has failed. I agree that it is difficult to use, but it can do things others can’t. I saved quite a few of my drives with this thing. So while I try to avoid having to use it, it still belongs in my toolkit.

Terces ,

What the hack?

Please tell me there is an orange cat called Närütö as well…

Beautiful cat btw :)

Terces ,

You might have misophonia.

Also…I try to imagine kids as little robot machines. They do their thing and they make their sounds like little choo choo trains. This image also underlines that they often just react to things. Input; output. So the focus shifts from the kid to the situation and the surroundings (as does the blame).

We are the society and judging other people’s behaviour is what defines morality. Not speaking up about things that are clearly fucked up as the model industry just shifts the whole moral-scale in their favor.

To me it seems like this change is centered around navigation using a car. Streets are much more prominent, while details in nature are lost. The greens are much more muted and barely recognisable. And they also get lost between the stronger color for roads.

So for navigation I don’t mind it, but for just looking things or orientating myself, I really hate it.

Please help me find/place a quote from Aleister Crowley (lemmy.world)

This might be a bit of an odd one: I am a great shroom enthusiast. On my trip I ‘saw’ an entity that looked like something described in aleister crowley’s writings. I didn’t read his writings at the time. Searching up on google it yielded and excerpt that goes somewhat as follows, I am asking for your help to identify...

I tried Chatgpt, but got no result. Maybe you could give it a try. It always asked for more context, which I was unable to give…

Many plagues were caused by lack of basic hygiene. Of course I wouldn’t want to miss modern medicine, but living back then with a lot less people around and equipped with todays knowledge would actually be pretty neat.

…but not with my teeth…i would have probably died already if not for modern ways of dealing with tooth-aches…

Some image generators produce more problematic stereotypes than others, but all fail at diversity (algorithmwatch.org)

Automated image generators are often accused of spreading harmful stereotypes, but studies usually only look at MidJourney. Other tools make serious efforts to increase diversity in their output, but effective remedies remain elusive.

I wonder if this is because AI is trained on data that ‘is’ and has therefore no concept of how it ‘should be’. Maybe it is an effective mirror of society…

Terces ,

I may have oversimplified my statement. Of course an objective description of reality is impossible. A curse on all social sciences and statistics.

My post was more a showerthought…even if the data is incomplete, whatever THAT data implies will also be the stereotype the AI will learn. Misrepresentation of minorities in sample data is absolutely nothing new. But even if the data WAS complete, it would probably still be very biased. I think we often don’t notice structural discrimination and AI would simply reproduce those and confront us with it. In that sense I think it is a very interesting way to get a sort of ‘outside look’ at our own society and that is something that’s very useful.

Not sure if that is anything you might be interested in, but there is Lorien, which uses the godot game engine:

Terces ,

Is there a treatment that works? What are they testing right now?

Terces ,

Thank you very much for your answer. Very interesting therapies they are testing and I’ll have a look if there are similar studies done here in Germany. I wish you all the best for your future and really hope, that they will find a way to completely treat it.

But also is cross-immunisation. So…one could have had something other than Covid-19 and still be immune to it. Then there are also the genetic outliers that are just naturally immune to the attack-vector of the virus.

Am I blind? I see no white pixel in that image o.o

A long time ago we actually agreed on a process for fact finding. It is one that has served us well for hundreds of years (more so in the last 150 years, once we really had a foundational understanding of the world based on previously established facts). The whole “you look at the world, draw conclusions and test them” - system is not new and it works. That is science. It’s not a question of what people believe to be fact, but in believing in the process of establishing them. One side is systematically trying to undermine the very basis of science. It is impossible to use science or data or facts to convince someone like that that their position is wrong.
