I know a few people who have become more anti green because of JSO,

And you let them? What kind of limp-dick shit is this.

petrol_sniff_king ,

But they don’t have language

Ant… pheromones? Whale song? Whatever crows do to remember peoples faces they haven’t seen.

Not every animal is as sophisticated as we are, but communication in general is pretty integral to herd survival strategy.

How does an animal know sex leads to pregnancy?

We’re not… different. We have schools and parents and movies we aren’t supposed to see yet that tell us it does.

petrol_sniff_king ,

Oh, for sure. I don’t imagine bears have the same cultural understanding of sex, however complex that may be, that people do.

bear in the woods isn’t thinking “Since I am a heterosexual bear, I am not going to rub my penis on that other bears ass because I see it’s a boy bear and that would be gay. […]”

I do think this might be overly simplistic, though. The tendency for a bear to “be gay” by our standards might manifest differently, but it would still be an observable behavior, no?

petrol_sniff_king ,

The trailer certainly failed at making his apparition exciting in any case.

I… completely disagree, but you know, whatever.

With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system?

Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play....

petrol_sniff_king ,

that’s a central pillar of the platform so we have to agree that that’s true.

Watch out, man. The bees are starting to pollinate your mind. You should probably take another shower.

petrol_sniff_king ,

I’m sure this would lead to injuries, but some soccer team putting out one goliath and a bunch of rule-qualifiers does sound really funny.

petrol_sniff_king ,

We could also get rid of fun, I guess.
Only clink-clang work from now on.

petrol_sniff_king ,

You are the market economy.

petrol_sniff_king ,

Is any of this true? Or is it just post-hoc, evo-psych bullshit taken from the era of scientific racism to justify the results men see after gatekeeping their very special hobby.

Oh, hi, wikipedia.

petrol_sniff_king ,

like abolishing womens sports

My man never heard of co-ed.

petrol_sniff_king ,

What are you even talking about, then? “The problem is sex, but it isn’t sex actually”?

If trans women can play in women’s leagues just fine (after hormonal treatment I think is the typical rule), what is “females don’t want to play with males” supposed to mean?

Is it just the hormonal treatment? You have to understand how confusing it is to phrase this point that way.

petrol_sniff_king ,

And the ones I’ve made can be double-checked by taking a sociology class.

If I am to be charitable, I think you’re just glazing over the elephant in the room. When a little girl is told “they’re not as able,” they’re not as likely to continue. If only 13% of players are women at all, then yeah, duh, they won’t be represented in the grandmasters.

petrol_sniff_king ,

My friend,

Trans women are women but they aren’t female.

Female atheletes understandably feel that it is unfair to have male atheletes breaking female atheletic records

where I said that it was unfair for trans women atheletes to play against female atheletes.

Explain to me how I am supposed to resolve these.

If you’re not anti trans athletes, then whatever, but come on.

petrol_sniff_king ,

No! It’s embarrassing~~

petrol_sniff_king ,

Like how many, five?

petrol_sniff_king ,

xD God damn that was funny.

petrol_sniff_king ,

When games that are losses for the AI from humans are included, the bug is fixed.

You’re not grasping the fundamental problem here.

This is like saying a calculator understands math because when you plug in the right functions, you get the right answers.

petrol_sniff_king ,

The Turing test is flawed, because while it is supposed to test for intelligence it really just tests for a convincing fake.

This is just conjecture, but I assume this is because the question of consciousness is not really falsifiable, so you just kind of have to draw an arbitrary line somewhere.

Like, maybe tech gets so good that we really can’t tell the difference, and only god knows it isn’t really alive. But then, how would we know not to give the machine legal rights?

For the record, ChatGPT does not pass the turing test.

petrol_sniff_king ,

I think the definition is “whichever is more emotionally important to you.” So, in your case, they would be very, very intelligent.

petrol_sniff_king ,

How does it “understand the strategic aspects of the game really well” if it can’t solve problems it hasn’t seen the answers to?

petrol_sniff_king ,

This is literally what these walled gardens depend on. Why are mocking people for it?

Just change cities, “but my friends live here.”

Just leave the cult, “but the cult separated me from all my other friends.”

Like, yeah. Cult’s do this on purpose to keep people locked in.

petrol_sniff_king ,

What does this even mean.

petrol_sniff_king ,

I swear to god, Dolly Parton is going to enter the Christianity canon. 200 years from now, she’ll be part of the Trinity.

I mean, full support, of course.

The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

When you picture the tech industry, you probably think of things that don’t exist in physical space, such as the apps and internet browser on your phone. But the infrastructure required to store all this information – the physical datacentres housed in business parks and city outskirts – consume massive amounts of energy....

petrol_sniff_king ,

Which applications?

petrol_sniff_king ,

Now, we all have the future generations of them in our pockets.

And nothing bad ever came of this. That’s true, that’s true.

petrol_sniff_king ,

Let’s imagine that there are 16 good things about computers, and 3 bad ones.

I don’t like the bad ones.

people talked so much shit on them.

So, what shit were these morons saying then, hm?

petrol_sniff_king ,

And how ads on TV are sometimes so much louder than the show they’re cut between. And the glitches! Sometimes, you have to completely power cycle your phone to fix something simple. And how Facebook’s curated, algorithmic feed sends people down extremist pipelines, fueling things like public shootings and the January 2021 Capital riots. And how the continued atomization of society into smaller and smaller pieces (e.g. suburbia) has made people lonelier than they ever have been. And how the displacement of work onto capable machines never seems to yield benefits onto the people whose work is being displaced, only their bosses.

I guess if all you remember are Letterman’s fumbling grandpa jokes about what the Internet is, gosh dang, even useful for, I could see why you’d think nobody’s criticisms are real.

petrol_sniff_king ,

And what part of this requires the facebook engagement algorithm?

petrol_sniff_king ,

Oh, I understand. So, it was advertisers who fueled the 2021 capital riots.

What if that authority only disallowed bad things like murder and insider trading. Hm. Yeah, that doesn’t really feel like North Korea at all.

petrol_sniff_king ,

And why should those things be stopped? See, unlike you, “I believe in freedom.” If people don’t like their company town, they shall simply move away~.

I said it is better if the government doesn’t verify all the code that makes it on the internet.

You also said this apropos of nothing. I didn’t say anything about vetting code. You think I care if Biden has read your commit messages.

petrol_sniff_king ,

This is why I have a PS5.

Granted, I don’t hate the thing, but I also don’t find it that useful.

I wish it supported ultrawide. Returnal does.

Men with 'toxic masculinity' are more likely to make sexual advances without consent, study finds (phys.org)

A team of researchers, including Binghamton psychology professor Richard Mattson and graduate student Michael Shaw asked men between the ages of 18–25 to respond to hypothetical sexual hookup situations in which a woman responds passively to a sexual advance, meaning the woman does not express any overt verbal or behavioral...

petrol_sniff_king ,

I think the core problem here is just a matter of rhetoric.

Like, I agree with you, and usually when an argument like this pops up, I spend most of my time making fun of the alpha male in the chat for their willful refusal to read above a 6th grade level. And it is willful, just to underline that part.

But the truth is really that it doesn’t matter how correct you are. You can argue until you’re blue in the face about how defensible “Toxic Masculinity” as a term really is, and you’d be right too, but that doesn’t really change the fact that you are arguing about it.

You know the adage about arguing with an idiot: they’ll beat you with experience.

As much as it does irk me a little bit to admit, “gender policing” is better (I think) because it’s much more difficult to assail (something I think you acknowledge is worth it), and it doesn’t spell out men in particular. It’s really hard to have the inevitable “yes, femininity can be toxic too, jesus christ” argument when it’s never even brought up.

petrol_sniff_king ,

Oh, for sure. Public opposition is really important. I didn’t mean to imply you shouldn’t.

Like I said or implied maybe (I forget), I get really annoyed by the anti-intellectualism displayed by people who simply refuse to understand what toxic masculinity is. “But it sounds mean” should really only work as an excuse until it’s explained to them, but that’s never how it goes because they don’t actually care. And in those cases, you’re really arguing in front of an audience more than you are with them.

petrol_sniff_king ,

What the fuck is this self-important bullshit.

Dude, if you want to kill her, fine, whatever, but we’re putting your ass in prison.

petrol_sniff_king ,

Mmm, I dunno. I kinda like this one, actually. It’s silly.

The Fiat Multipla is pretty bad, though. Who thought a double-chin as a car was a good idea.

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

petrol_sniff_king ,

It’s worth noting that 200 to 250 of those calories are from the bread, and the other 300 are from the 3 different meats and the 2x cheese.

The turkey sandwich, the one I normally get, is a bit better at 310–360 or so, but I probably make up for that difference in mayo. That said, I don’t know… is the BMT an average, standard order? … Um. Commit to memory what bread, meat and cheese (and mayo) typically add to a dish and you can apply that anywhere you go; these are usual suspects and I doubt you can make an Ultimate BMT at home that’s much better.

Also, if anyone is not sure why processed meats are bad, the nitrate and nitrite found within can become carcinogenic (cancer) via processes somewhat unique to them (plants have nitrate, but they don’t typically form nitroso compounds)—raw meat, even red, is less likely to have this problem, though it is recommended you limit red meat for other reasons.

petrol_sniff_king ,

its a 45 minute walk to the nearest train station,

Yeah, this is a really, really, really big problem with designing society for cars. Tons of people live in suburbia, with no mixed zoning, where they’re a 2 hour walk from their nearest church, a 4 hour walk if they want a coffee; and so like you say, driving becomes their only option. It’s the only thing they can do, realistically. And if they ever lose their car somehow, uh, say hello to poverty. Good luck getting a job at that coffee shop 4 hours away.

In situations where someone who lives very far from a city is visiting someone else very far, cars probably still make some sense. In the OP picture example, though, that is a prime candidate for transit refactoring. The presence of cars there is actually hurting them.

petrol_sniff_king ,

That might be integers, but I have no idea.

petrol_sniff_king ,

An English dictionary is not really going to tell you what mathematicians are doing. Like, its goal is to describe what the word “integer” means (in various contexts), it won’t tell you what the “integer series” is.

math.stackexchange.com/…/what-are-the-whole-numbe…

The gist I see is that it’s kind of ambiguous whether the whole number series includes negatives or not, and in higher math you won’t see the term without a strict definition. It’s much more likely you’d see “non-negative integers” or the like.

petrol_sniff_king ,

Whoa, whoa, I’m not making this out to be like an imperialism thing. I’m not interested in what people ought to do.

The link I gave, a comment in there gives examples of papers where the term is being used to mean different things. So, this ambiguity is either something you just have to contend with (people using the term wrong), or you just don’t read from those people. It’s fine. Nobody is coming for you, I promise.

If I were in your class and you said “the whole numbers” but meant the negatives too, that’d probably give me pause (dumb American), but I have such herculean powers of intuition that I probably wouldn’t even ask you a question about it.

petrol_sniff_king ,

Oh, it’s no problem :p

I don’t think I’ve seen Etymonline before, so I should thank you for introducing me to it. I do really like etymology, actually.

petrol_sniff_king ,

Okay, Mom.

petrol_sniff_king ,

To be fair, I think that’s what the part after the colon was for.

petrol_sniff_king ,

Well, a lot of these points are really more about readability than they are about reducing the abstraction. Smaller, labeled chunks of information are easier to process than larger ones with no anatomy.

But even so, abstractions, especially in programming, are often made because a pattern was noticed between concrete examples. Teaching the abstraction first or even alone does inherently skip a lot of context for why it was made in the first place. Sometimes, you need to know what problem a function is solving before you can truly know the function.

It's called "social jet lag". Yes I know about sleep hygiene. (lemmy.world)

It’s absolutely true that a lot of modern-day problems with being tired come from bad sleep habits. What I’m talking about is a real phenomenon that isn’t being in front of a screen too close to bedtime. If anyone wants to know more, here’s a 3-minute video from AsapSCIENCE about what research shows.

petrol_sniff_king ,

I did this recently with FF7 Rebirth. It might have looped twice, honestly.

ChatGPT provides false information about people, and OpenAI can’t correct it (noyb.eu)

It’s clear that companies are currently unable to make chatbots like ChatGPT comply with EU law, when processing data about individuals. If a system cannot produce accurate and transparent results, it cannot be used to generate data about individuals. The technology has to follow the legal requirements, not the other way...

petrol_sniff_king ,

Without commenting on the content of the paper,

so the author really doesn’t seem credible. I prefer nuanced and careful evaluations

If their level of self-driving is so new and revolutionary, maybe it should be kept in the oven to bake a little longer.

petrol_sniff_king ,

If not, that would indicate that this newfangled self-driving is more dangerous than a little ol’ “caught in the stone-age” Nissan Leaf, wouldn’t it?
