Do they exude a certain positive attitude highlighting the good things from civilization or do you mean that putting them in contrast to the world of today things are good?

What is hexbear and .ml?

Noble dude

Thanks! I made a submarine game called DeepBlue where you explore the ocean floor generated by ocean depth map data:

Thanks for the tip! https://github.com/jcuberdruid/DeepBlue

I’ll add more to the repo but here it is for now :)

Not just yet but it’s in the works!

I understand your wish to bring attention to the humanitarian situation in Gaza. However, it does everyone a disservice to equate the Israeli Government with the victims of the Holocaust. They are not the same people, and it is disrespectful to the memory of the innocents who died both during the Second World War and today.

We can be mature enough to name evil where we see it, and not fall prey to the tribalistic notion that one’s lineage is inextricably tied to one’s actions today. In the same way that it is wrong for children to take on the debt of their parents, it is also wrong to judge a child based on the lives of their parents. Each person, and by extension their generation, must stand solely upon the actions which they take.

This is the only way for the conflict in Gaza to end; we should not pick sides based on our preconceptions. Instead, we should look at the information, acknowledge the impact of the fog of war on that information, and do our best to make informed decisions with whatever little power most of us wield in our day-to-day lives.

So sort of: the 3g is part of a standard for data rates, but the difficulty, comes in that networks are not homogeneous. Similarly to how you might be familiar with 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz WiFi signals. As a general rule of thumb the higher the frequency the more data you can send but with more attenuation so the signal can be blocked more easily and cannot travel as far, whereas the inverse is true for lower frequencies. So while the generations did make some changes in terms of protocols— it also came with higher frequency emitters which can theoretically carry more data. Other changes include MIMO antennas which do beam forming to make more of the energy go in the direction of a user using constructive and destructive interference from an array of antennas to accomplish this. However marketing people are always very eager to adopt technical terms and inflate them into oblivion. However some of this can be attributed to honest misunderstanding within a company.

Hmm I can’t decide if this is a joke or if I’m just very privileged in the internet department

The impulse to seek retribution against those who have perpetrated heinous crimes is a natural human inclination. Yet, it’s vital to remember that even those who commit the most grievous offenses are, at their core, human beings endowed with certain inalienable rights. In the context of warfare, the use of torture to extract information is undeniably a reprehensible act. It stands to reason, then, that torture employed solely as a means of inflicting pain for punishment’s sake is even more morally indefensible. However, I perceive a well-intentioned undercurrent in your remarks. Your response appears to reflect a person who retains a sense of empathy towards others, an attribute that is commendable.

You could just add a small nonvolatile buffer to each camera if it’s not wired, such that if it loses connection with your home assistant server it will start recording. With 720p video and a 64gb flash storage you could, depending on encoding, store well over a day of footage. (Napkin math so could be wrong)

Per the National Park Service Website. You are allowed to carry a gun in national parks; but notably you’re not allowed to take it into government facilities: “government offices, visitor centers, ranger stations, fee collection buildings, and maintenance”. Additionally, it is not allowed to discharge the weapon unless you have specific hunting licenses.

I don’t know what bearing this has on this tragedy, if any, but to facilitate civil discussion it’s best to have a shared understanding of the law.

While the iris study is interesting, looking at their dataset the pictures seem to include the area around the eye a little bit, including eye lashes, so after a cursory glance it seems odd that they even titled it as iris. However I didn’t read the full thing so it cold be that they cropped it somewhere. Although they are using large convolutions so a lot of detail is lost.

For fucks sake I hope your joking x.x

Attractiveness is an interesting point; it would be interesting to see a “boring” normal looking car that doesn’t lean into the somewhat polarizing EV aesthetic.

Careful that’s how we got the floods that one time…

I think it overall is a bad habit to get into, just like credit cards for some people, but could be a good thing if your very smart about the way you use it. npr did an interesting piece on the origins and motivations of buy now pay later a couple years ago here if anyone wants to learn about it: https://www.npr.org/2022/05/10/1097885472/buy-now-pay-dearly

What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

I wonder if to some extent it’s because of the title inflation in the United States; an effort to give employees a sense of value without actually paying them more

I mean there were few options for a guy named “John Law” other to become a judge right?

I would say the following things would help:

•	Rethink the way our cities are built and reduce the ratio of work to weekends so that people can find time and have ease in going to spaces where they can interact with others socially.

•	Allow for the construction of third spaces, especially for adolescents. Seriously, as a teenager in the 2010s, the amount of surveillance and regulation by parents and schools was kinda insane. It pushes teenagers online, as it’s the one place where they tend to have an edge on their elders enough to break free from it. (And it also normalizes invasions of privacy by corporations.)

•	Withhold judgment by mass public opinion for minor transgressions. We have all said things that make us cringe at ourselves down the line when we think of them, or even when reminded of the perhaps more innocent action of simply looking foolish. It is little wonder, then, that people, already socially withered from lack of experience, shy away from the very actions that might give them confidence when faced with the potential for public immortalization of these acts via the internet.

•	Regulate platforms to reduce the existing profitability of addiction. It is no contest when the largest companies spend billions and employ thousands to keep their users under their thrall. The only recourse for the individual is to join in group action to wield the power of government for the public good.

While by no means an exhaustive list, I feel as though if we follow the steps of RAWR, we can at least make an incremental improvement.

I can’t imagine this is true right? I mean there are some people like the guy with the Swiss accent that do things albeit most of them are more micro electronics which you might not need a large space for but…

I feel like there is an opportunity for a local network solution to this that would be very resilient. It kind of surprises me that for medical communication you would ever want to rely primarily on an application that has to go out to the internet and back. Then again I guess companies that wish to make money probably can’t just, you know, sell a complete stand-alone product that just works. But if I were to build one for my networking class; what quality of life, or feature requirements would be preferred in a health care setting?

Seems anecdotal at best— I play beat Sabre at least a few times a week with the family, which is ironically, still anecdote.

I mean I get that they are established but what exactly is keeping their customers coming back to them? They make printers, there is no magic sauce, I’m sure they’re nice printers, but there are other companies, or someone could start a new printer company. I just can’t fathom why they think they can get away with treating their customers this way and not expect to lose them. Unless there is something I’m missing?

What card do you have?

If individuals have committed crimes, they’ve clearly broken the social contract. Your mention of retribution is especially interesting when we consider the Code of Hammurabi, one of the earliest known sets of laws, which introduced ‘lex talionis’ or ‘the principle of retribution’—likely the origin of the ‘an eye for an eye’ concept.

The idea of retribution does seem to tap into something intrinsic in our sense of justice. However, it’s important to note that during Hammurabi’s era, resources were much scarcer than today, making the sustained imprisonment of criminals impractical.

So, what is the underlying purpose of modern incarceration? In no particular order, it seems to be: isolating individuals from the public to prevent further crimes, serving as punishment to deter criminal behavior, and rehabilitation.

Torture, I believe, doesn’t make us safer nor does it contribute to rehabilitation. This leaves punishment to deter criminal activity. This can be seen either as a warning to potential criminals or, for those not facing life imprisonment, as a means to reduce recidivism.

Therefore, we’re left to balance the human rights of the individual against the potential deterrent effect of torture in preventing future crimes. Even in this simplified scenario, discounting the message sent by tacitly accepting state-sponsored torture and the diminishing impact of additional punishment on those who act irrationally, torture seems to serve only to satisfy a base desire for vengeance. We should not lower ourselves to such methods, aligning us closer to those who commit these heinous crimes.

I agree that it’s not the worst place to live, we have major problems, and the trends are not looking good but we also have some nice things too: national parks, cool technology, higher income, freedom of speech, etc. However propaganda is intended to influence, while I’m sure there is anti-American propaganda, I think a large part of it can be attributed to commiserating and a break down of the social order especially among young liberals who have been most effected by the evaporation of real life community. I guess I should go join a meet up or something— anyone down to play pool? Oh wait no sorry my university removed the pool tables to put in a never used “T Rowe Price Innovation center” fml.

I think what he meant was a response to your question of why don’t we turn him into fertilizer. Their insinuation that turning people into fertilizer would go against due process and the right to trial. The use of “silly” I believe was sarcasm. However to be fair you could be saying that the outcome of a fair trial and due process would be a punishment in the form of turning him into fertilizer. However I think we can make the assumption based on their comments that they are against capital punishment. Either way I think we can all agree that his actions have no place in our society and that he should meet with the full force of the law for his crimes.

Why mock them? Our quotidian musings are seldom unique. When an individual arrives at a realization on their own, should we not celebrate it? Is it not our collective duty to foster and encourage critical thinking whenever the opportunity arises?

It’s excellent

Also m, while I agree typing speed is an advantage, there’s nothing stoping you from laying out the whole program on paper or with psudo code and then filling it in which can reduce the need to keep it all in your head

Just run ollama locally and download uncensored versions— runs on my m1 MacBook no problem and is at the very least comparable to chatgpt3. Unsure for images though, but there should be some open source options. Data is king here, so the more you use a platform the better its AI gets (generally) so don’t give the corporations the business.

Get involved in local politics then; while the table is invariably skewed towards the rich and powerful, local politics is often the spawning ground for candidates. The global perspective of catastrophe fuels the feeling of powerlessness and robs the more actionable problems in our community of the focus they should be getting. To clarify, you have every right to complain and I don’t mean to insinuate that you don’t if you aren’t involved; just offering a possible solution to the problem you mentioned.

Rip inflation

I think one advantage lemmy might have is the possibility of expanding the number of sorting metrics allowing users to sort things the way they choose rather than a few monolithic sort options.

Millions of hard working Dutch people depend on the tulip system for their retirement. The crash was not due to the management of the tulip market, rather it’s an unavoidable pattern of boom and bust. Given this, it’s only right that the Dutch government to bail out the tulip funds to avoid a breakdown of the liliaceae system.

You just have to start really really low, like on your knee low

The executives don’t care; their incentives are for short term profits as that’s how they get their bonuses and pay hikes. They would likely dismantle the company tomorrow and sell it for scrap if would mean they would end up pocketing the majority of it. (Obviously considering the size of the company and its importance, and pesky legal regulations, they probably wouldn’t get away with scrapping it but the point is they would if they could)
