I’ve never met any Minecraft player that played Story Mode, but a few had primary school siblings that did.

Really? Jack Dorsey says it’s suffering from the same mistakes Twitter made. Is it still better than Mastodon? I thought Mastodon was as close as we got to solving the problem for now, just lacking adoption and with your typical fedi-drawbacks

He founded SpaceX, which is arguably more important than anything else he or any of Silicon Valley are typically involved with.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Because he is not your run-of-the-mill tech billionaire.

He’s an asshole, yes, but you don’t see Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos or anyone else make the kind of big moves he does.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Yeah, even if he is advising or contributing, the way he put it sounds very disingenuous like he’s trying to inflate the number for his argument. Which MIGHT mean there likely was not many with immediately recognizable significance in that time (don’t yell at me, I have not taken the time to verify this).

Either way, the way he responded comes across as very “I’m published, you’re not, neener neener!” which is not a good look for anyone with a doctorates.

Also, genuine question, how significant was the contribution of LeNet-5 to the field of deep learning vs Neocognitron?

Big moves like founding SpaceX

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Right, I didn’t mean to imply that the practice was uncommon, just that using it as a defense of ego so readily was eyebrow-raising. I’m no academic, but I feel like I’d lose respect for my advisor had they used the paper I worked hard on as a way to boost numbers used as personal defense in some petty squabble in a public forum.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Oh right, I forgot that funding and companies manifest solely from engineers’ desires to build things. Silly me.

He ate the award plaque they gave him.

Are homemade PCBs really that effective? I’d wanted to try my hand at them but never could settle whether it was worth attempting.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

You have it wrong, which really shows what you stand for:

Cloudflare refused to block KiwiFarms as there was no evidence of criminal activity or violation of their policies, and doing so would tarnish their reputation in regards to free speech. They did stop hosting KiwiFarms, in September of 2022 (you can find their statement here) in response to a libelous pressure campaign ran by Keffals when she/they/it found out users were pulling out receipts of it engaging in lewd conversation with minors and providing them with DIY hormone replacement therapy kits without any medical oversight or parental consent.

And KF did not attack Keffals out of nowhere, it was only after she started engaging with Chris-chan as she was attempting to use him to boost her own reputation at a time when he was already in a perilous mind.

I’m not sure exactly where you got the “threatening trans people” from, that is the first I’ve heard of it. I know of one incident that is much more grave and potentially what you are referring to, but your reference leaves out almost the entire context of that one particular incident and there have been no repeats of it to my knowledge.

I’m not a fan of KiwiFarms, but they did not earn their censorship. It was the result of a successful attempt by a revisionist career troll to cover their tracks when they realized their goose was about to get cooked, nothing more. If you truly stand for free speech, you would realize just how dangerous the precedent set by such an unreliable source as Keffals is.

And yes, I realize that if my comment gains enough traction, it and its army will be at my throat and by no doubt have doxxed me in no time if they so choose. But that’s not going to keep me from preventing people like you from twisting the narrative.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

which FCC regulations in particular?

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Right, I thought that might be what you were referring to. This is where we get into weeds technically:

Those regulations apply to active jamming, which is the use of an electronic device(s) to emit signals that interfere with lawfully approved channels. It is important to note that this holds no practical bearing upon structures as they by definition cannot engage in active jamming, only in passive blocking or coincidental interference.

What’s being experienced with Walmart’s lack of 5G is likely due to the fact that 5G does not penetrate walls very well. Combine this with the fact that you have hundreds of devices in the same enclosed space trying to talk to the same tower some miles away on the lower bandwidth 5G channel that can penetrate walls, and you can see how 5G access is effectively being “denied” simply by the nature of the business. Walmart could implement an on-premises 5G relay to solve the issue, but why would they want to take on that tech debt? All they are required to do by law is make sure E911 is not impeded by the building or operations of the business. They don’t owe you access to other radio waves when on their premises.

If this regulation were to somehow be applied to passive blocking like what I’ve described, then Faraday cages would be illegal-- which aren’t, again as long as E911 is not impeded. This would also make high security bamk vaults illegal due to the thick wall construction.

Personnel are evacuated from McGregor whenever a test is to be performed, just like they are with Starbase.

There is absolutely zero chance anyone got hurt. This isn’t Boeing.

Elon founded SpaceX in 2002. He said he wanted to build reusable, cost effective space platform where rocket boosters could land themselves and be refurbished with low turn-around times to fly multiple missions.

People laughed at the idea of a rocket that could land itself upright. And after countless tests that resulted in magnificent fiery failures and flops, a private American company is now responsible for launching crew and cargo to the ISS so we don’t have to rely on Russia or ELA alone, and has more recently gone on to develop the largest rocket ever made.

In the 22 years since it’s inception, SpaceX has designed it’s own:

  • Rockets
  • Engines
  • Rocket Propellant
  • Satellites and base stations
  • Bespoke robust communications network
  • Ground support structure (including a moving robotic tower named “Mechanical”)
  • Crewed mission vehicle platform
  • The world’s biggest fucking rocket

Say whatever you want about his beliefs, his opinions, his shit takes-- point me to another company that has done even half of that in that amount of time, or had nearly as monumental of an impact on the global space industry and America’s access to space in the last two decades.

And if y’all haven’t yet already, do yourselves a favor and look up NASASpaceflight on YouTube, watch their most viewed videos, which should be some of the SpaceX tests. You’ll come to understand why shit blowing up is normal and a good thing with SpaceX: because they prototype and develop iteratively and rapidly, intentionally testing to failure so they know exactly how far from failure their nominal conditions would be. If they did not do this, the platform would not be safe and they would be getting fucked by a camel wearing another camel’s skin for kicks.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

I’m confident enough in that to put my money where my mouth is.

SpaceX has been very transparent about their testing procedures and it is established that testing locations are always evacuated for any kind of test, as is required by the FAA. If you really wanna cast doubt on this, then why don’t we put some money on it?

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

oh aren’t you a treat. For a second I almost had you mistaken for one the few Moskal typewriter monkeys who remembered to bring a joke book, but now I’m beginning to worry that you’re own of my those fellow constituents of ours who’s succumbed to the brain rot.

At least we won’t have to worry about you voting for a few more years, judging by the way you act kiddo. Or perhaps you are old enough, but the polling place is too sus for your precious intellect.

Word of advice though, if you’d want any hopes of being employable or perhaps even making IRL friends, ditch whatever this is you think you’re doing with your attitude, it just ain’t working in your favor. While you’re at it, might also help to learn the definition of the word “untenable”-- if you need a visual example, any mirror should do the trick.

Anyway, maybe put down the smartphone and walk a natural trail or visit the library bud. Based on your comments, you owe it to yourself badly. I mean, if you fancy yourself a socialist then why aren’t you taking advantage of the freely available public recreational services that our tax dollars fund to live a better life? Everyone else is, and it makes dealing with this late stage capitalist hellscape just a bit more tolerable.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

You really think it took any time at all to write that? I was on Reddit for more than a decade, writing diatribes is second nature to me.

Besides, at least I put some thought behind my comments which is obviously more than can be said about some particular individuals.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

And studies are scientific, but are not science itself. A study can be intentionally misleading in bad faith, but that doesn’t mean every researcher in that field is acting in bad faith, just the author, publisher, and perhaps reviewing peers.

Anyone can right a paper. And if they right it on something obscure and bespoke enough, it can be difficult for someone to question their work. Doing so is the duty of peer reviewers, and sometimes these peers for whatever reason will fail to smell the bullshit or raise issue about smelling it. Then the honus is on the publisher to retract falsified papers.

This is why citations are like gold to postdocs. It’s what builds their credibility, and that credibility is one of the most important aspects of the academic and scientific world.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

I just checked and they actually disabled AI Overview. LMAO

The fun part is the shit you can’t talk about without disappearing.

Good times, good times.

For the rep they get, they actually do objectively more good than bad. It’s just that you’ll never hear about most the good and the bad sometimes tends to get extraordinarily bad. That’s just how it works, it’s why they were founded.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

there is an additional layer to this joke for those who understand turing completeness. And it elevates it to a whole other level of snark.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Bookmarking your comment so I can come back to it in a couple hours, if I hopefully remember to.

But yes, almost. I don’t think the interrupt is necessary and the return isn’t under certain architectures. I have a doc on my computer somewhere where I was investigating what the absolute minimum was to make a turning complete machine and, to my recollection, there was only 4-6 instructions that were absolutely necessary. The ones I remember off the top of my head are NAND, MOV, JUMPIF, and then I believe I included NOP in accordance with some principle. RET and INT were convenience features in this design.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

lol why?

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

You’re remembering correctly, every other logic gate can be built from NAND gates, which is the foundation of this sort of minimal-instruction-set exercise. Beyond that, you need to be able to move data and change your program counter (jump, often conditionally). Then, if you want parity with modern instruction sets beyond just being turning complete, you need return and interrupt for control flow.

Do people consider shuttles and buses the same thing? Because this sounds like a shuttle, which as far as I’m aware is completely different from a bus. I take a shuttle to the airport, which requires a reservation and ~$50 whereas I take a bus to get around town and it’s typically free.

Essentially it sounds like they are trying to dip into the shuttle market, not the inner-city bus market. Though maybe both?

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

… the reading comprehension level of the average Lemmy user scares me

I literally said that I take the bus. And the shuttle.

Best part is they don’t realize they’ll save nothing on taxes when the orange devalues the USD even further.

Also, has anyone investigated whether Trump or any of his shell companies bought US bonds during his presidency?

If it wasn’t obvious that the Debian box is a parody, here’s what the Japanese Chinese text along the top reads on each box:

Please read the instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of a physician. It is strictly prohibited to be used in food and feed processing.

Please read the installation instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of the administrator. It is strictly prohibited to use for server installation.

so yes, the title is correct-- this is not a coincidence, the Debian box was made explicitly for this joke

edit: thanks for the correction folks, honestly thought it looked more like Japanese than Chinese at first glance and I am obviously not an expert in either. Appreciate the call-out, very deserved.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Yeah that one’s on me. I did Google lens it, but I realized I had no hope of knowing what glyphs those were, I just assumed Japanese cause idk. But good call.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Yeah I got it completely wrong.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

This is behavioral therapy, which you could say is a responsive mode of “parenting” that is highly effective.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Because I think people’s disagreement makes my point more effectively than my words ever could.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

And trans is also a descriptive term, right?

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

You illustrated the point better than I had the energy to do-- I simply don’t care enough to be that eloquent because the majority of what I get is nonsense in return. So instead of wasting my time, I chose to take the lazy route and encourage people to come to a consensus on this one key point so that the point you made would become irrefutable.

Neither trans nor cis are slurs by default, but anything can be a slur if used in a derogatory manner-- I think some comedian had a bit about this, but I can’t recall who and I’m sure even if I did there’s a good chance someone would give me a nasty label for saying such comedian made a good point…

But the same people that say trans can be a slur, cannot deny in good faith that cis cannot be a slur. They are both simple classifiers with no basis on prejudice. But some people will still argue they are slurs simply because they are used prominently in derogatory contexts.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Correct-- humanism is equality. But some people don’t want humanism, for whatever fucking reason.

casual_turtle_stew_enjoyer ,

Cis and trans are both the same type of descriptor. If trans can be used as a slur, so can cis.

Not saying either are slurs by default. But they most certainly can be turned into ones.
