ASMR?

US = the world, don’t you know?

Decades of good work, all undone by her stubborn refusal to step down when the time was right.

And now the Supreme Court will lean conservative for decades to come.

I hate to say it, but I think it would have been a liberal win if instead of RBG, another left-leaning Supreme Court judge that was ineffective but stepped down at the right time was nominated instead.

Companies when trying to get workers to bond: “We’re a family, we take care of each other!”

Companies when workers ask for cost-of-living increases: “No, not like that”

I took a trip out to the Rockies earlier this year, and booked an AirBnB. The listing was for the basement of a house where a lovely old retired couple lived. The basement was decorated and furnished beautifully, and we got to chat with the couple every now and then. They gave us recommendations to a farmer’s market which was pretty cool.

It was the first time I’ve ever booked an Airbnb that was true to its original mission. This is what AirBnb should be - renting out spare rooms - and not a turn-an-apartment-unit-into-a-hotel thing.

Air Canada is dispelling the decades-old reputation that Canada has for being polite…

I wish I could fail so spectacularly at my job and yet not face any consequences…

Jaded Burning Man participants from 2022: “It ain’t what it used to be like, there isn’t much of a challenge in being there, people aren’t connecting with the envrionment like they used to 20 years ago”

Monkey’s Paw: “Ok i’ll fix that for 2023”

RIP. He wasn’t all there towards the end, what with the drinking and the Nazi stuff and the COVID denial/antivax stuff, but Smash Mouth had such a big impact on the world.

@mizu6079@lemmy.world , was it you?

Who’s that

Mine is usually 100% chocolate, 0% nuts, 0% fruit. Oops

The Romans must have called it a V-turn

There’s a difference between a sapient creature drawing inspiration and a glorified autocomplete using copyrighted text to produce sentences which are only cogent due to substantial reliance upon those copyrighted texts.

But the AI is looking at thousands, if not millions of books, articles, comments, etc. That’s what humans do as well - they draw inspiration from a variety of sources. So is sentience the distinguishing criteria for copyright? Only a being capable of original thought can create original work, and therefore anything not capable of original thought cannot create copyrighted work?

Also, irrelevant here but calling LLMs a glorified autocomplete is like calling jet engines a “glorified horse”. Technically true but you’re trivialising it.

lol whats new

They have both trended towards eachother to the point that apart from UI/UX, there’s honestly very little difference for 90% of things.

This is very true. iOS and Android used to be on completely opposite ends of the spectrum - iOS looked pretty out of the box but you needed to jailbreak to do something as simple as skin your keyboard; Android used to be super confusing but you could customize literally everything. Now they’ve both shifted somewhat towards each other.

Fanboyism (for either side) is bad for consumers in general. I’ll use whatever fits my needs. I’m still on Android because sideloading is a massive draw for me, but it doesn’t mean i sneer at iOS users.

This isn’t limited to just college admissions, but yes unsurprisingly, being rich is a lifehack in general

Does this work consistenyl? I tried that with Pinterest’s login popup and it doen’t work (the element changes every time you enter the site). I ended up adding a filter to remove all Pinterest results from all my searches.

Not currently. You have to individually block the top communities from that instance.
