Or maybe Israelis are the ones who are not facing reality. You keep a malnourished and abused big dog chained in your backyard, you're going to get bitten sooner or later.

I'm sorry, who started a land war in February 2022?
I think I understand why this is a double-edged sword. Most consulting companies basically invoice hours. Even a lot of software development is charged by the hour. So now empoyees use AI, come up with awesome work much faster, and all that looks like a big advantage - until you get to the end of the month and find out that you now have a lot less billable hours logged.
The bright side is that you can now deliver more projects - so you now have to do much more work to invoice the same as before, and all the competition is now also delivering awesome work. It's a race to the bottom, more stress and less money for everyone involved.
Some beggars do indeed see it as a job and make substantial money, that is just a fact. Doesn't mean that there are not people in real desperate situations and needing any help they can get.
Right, next the native americans will take the US back because historically it's theirs? Russia started a war, stop looking for excuses to cope.
I actually used vapes (the "real" ones) to stop smoking. It took years, but having the capability of controlling how much nicotine I had in my vape liquid was key. Eventually I brought it down to zero, and was able to stop.
This said, in europe the market is being flooded with disposable, colourful vapes - and those are an abomination. Just thinking of trashing all those lithium batteries makes me angry.
the idea that people were crushed with tanks is disputed in academia
There are photos of people clearly crushed by tanks?
The article you referred to appears to delve into the actions and subsequent consequences faced by Jimmy Zhong, a 28-year-old computer expert from Athens, Georgia. The narrative begins when Zhong reports a theft of a substantial amount of cryptocurrency from his residence, leading to an investigation unveiling one of the most significant cryptocurrency crimes in history ➊.
In 2012, an individual pilfered 50,000 bitcoins from Silk Road, an illicit dark web marketplace. The valuation of these stolen bitcoins soared over time to surpass $3 billion, marking one of the colossal mysteries within the cryptocurrency realm for many years. Nearly a decade post this heist, a grave mistake by the perpetrator enabled the IRS-Criminal Investigation division to resolve the case ➋.
Jimmy Zhong, known for his partying tendencies and also for his exceptional computer skills, was the person behind this massive theft. His downfall was linked to his report about the crypto theft, which was a cover-up, and his robust digital home surveillance system which perhaps played a part in his identification ➌.
Following his conviction in 2022, a raid on his Georgia residence led to the confiscation of approximately 50,676 bitcoins, then valued at over $3.36 billion. Zhong cooperated with the authorities and forfeited the stolen assets ➍.
This tale highlights a significant event within the cryptocurrency community and demonstrates the long-term investigative efforts that can span several years before reaching a resolution.
He was huge in the 80's and 90's amd did some big scale acts like disappearing a whole bridge and stuff like that.
Yeah but a car is mostly made of engines and bolts and wheels and stuff like that, you know.
How is attending a far-right convention and fucking up diplomacy with Spain state business?
If he went to a furry convention would that also be state business?
The idea is not to get the power back to earth, but to have power on the moon. Without power, you'll never have humans living there.
In my country, besides right on red being illegal (having never been legal), traffic lights themselves are seen as a thing of the past and most of them were replaced with roundabouts decades ago.

I actually have one of those "youth clubs" close to where I live (also close to a university). It's this huge, modern building full of what looks like hotel rooms from the outside. Only ever saw female teenagers and older ladies there, but yeah it's hard to get a feeling from the outside of what it is about. For a long time I imagined it was like a correction house or something like that.
Thank's for the context!
You're being downvoted, but that's exactly what many europeans cities have been doing for many years now. When going into the city center by car is the worst option, people choose other ways to go.
Most AV software is pretty useless and practically malware by itself.
More infrastructure for cars = even more cars on the road, as simple as that.
You want to fix a gridlocked city with awful traffic? You start taking lanes out and making them exclusive for public transport, and you build big sidewalks and a cycling lane. Now you can get where you want to go in 10 minutes using public transport or bike, or you can sat in traffic for an hour - magically, you'll see traffic getting better and less cars on the road.
It's not as if this is some mistery - it has been done in many cities around the world and it works. The alternative is the american way, "just add one more lane", and you guys live with the results.
I read this as "40-70% of VR developers don't know what they are doing". What needs to be done to avoid motion sickness has been known for a long while now.
Meta is desperate for content and use cases for MR, and nothing comes up. They have been doing jams, they have funds to give to developers, and everything that comes up are basic wave shooters or simple ports (downgrades, really) from VR to MR.
Microsoft has probably figured out that, except for the military, it's a solution in search of a problem, at least in the current form factor ans with current limitations.
And for businesses, VR simply has not proven to have a cost benefit worth even the initial capital investment, without even taking into account ongoing IT costs due to damaged equipment.
That's just not true. Companies of all sizes are using VR for onboarding and training with much success and a huge return on investment. There are also a lot of location-based and VR arcades making a nice profit.
VR may never go mainstream, but for businesses there are a lot of use cases for which it is valuable.
Man, just let it go. You have been schooled, just take it and learn.
People also don't need cheese or cake, and they have it anyway.
The "Tuscany Villa" is an ancient demo that I tried in the Oculus DK1 in like 2014 or so, and it made me sick for hours. It uses very fast continuous movement instead of teleport, and it has a set of stairs that will make you instantly throw up if you try to climb them.
It's is perfectly possible to create VR experiences that will not make anyone nauseous, Moss being a good example.
When I changed from Chrome to Firefox a year ago or so, Firefox imported Chrome's saved passwords, along with bookmarks and everything else.
Gen Z are adolescents or young adults now. Gen Alpha are the little kids. We're getting old.
That's all good, but then in this same situation agents would find nothing about you at all and "thumbs down" you because you are obviously hiding something.
The Tic tac was seen, with their eyes, by four different military pilots. It was also captured in multiple different sensor arrays, data that has been classified. The video is the only thing available because it was leaked, but there is other sensor data that corroborates both the video and the pilot's testimony. We don't have access to that data only because the military doesn't want us to.
Yeah, we would all much rather talk with a real person, but when I'm walking my dogs at 1am there is no one available.
I use ChatGPT voice as a kind of "podcast on demand". If there's something on my mind I run it through ChatGPT, if not I ask it to come up with something interesting for us to discuss - and it as yet to let me down.
It's not a matter of replacing people - it's more as if you had your own on-demand youtuber that could talk about anything you want and answer all your follow-up questions.
I think I found a good solution: I created 3 accounts in 3 different instances. In one instance, I only subscribe to serious stuff like worldnews and technology and things like that. In another account, I subscribe only to memes. Both these accounts have NSFW disabled. The third account is the NFSW one.
At least in the Liftoff app, it's trivial to change between accounts - so I basically have 3 separate feeds, with the added benefit that if any one of the instances is down I can still use Lemmy and see what's going on in the "All" tab in any of the instances.
It seems to be getting worse every day. I used to always find something interesting to watch, and now my feed seems to be the same 10 videos or so, and the rest is stuff I've already watched? I feel stuck in such a small bubble!
Sorry! English is not my first language and I misunderstood you.
At the time Facebook was starting to seriously suck and Google was still a trusted brand, but it failed mostly because of the invite system for the first few weeks. Google themselves closed the door to the possibility of huge migration.
You got an invite, but none of your facebook frieds did. It was an empty town so one naturally started adding random people, thus fucking the friend reccomendation algorythm forever. When they finally opened to the general public, people had lost interest already.
Their circles concept was actually awesome, but they shot themselves in the foot in trying to keep it exclusive for those first few weeks.
But why then are we even getting ads "not aimed at us"? Doesn't a platform like youtube, which has access to basically all data on the google account, know us better than ourselves? Why all the tracking, only for us to be eternally bothered by stuff we'll never buy? I've lost count of how many "atlas VPN" ads I've been bombarded with, and still no intention whatsoever of ever getting it.
The thing is we both are going to get downvoted into oblivion. People who are not aware of the latest developments still see the term UFOs and think "loonies". I am actually a bit scared that disclosure is finally upon us, and many people will have a hard time updating their worldviews.
Except that he has delivered classified documents and evidence to authorities with the right clearances? Of course he can't just publish classified documents, unless he wants to end up like Snowden. He is following the correct procedures for whistleblowers, and that's why you get to see nothing but people with the right clearences do. Multiple congressmen have had classified briefings on the subject and they don't think Grusch is lying.
I've been using GPT4 for a few months now without complaints, it has saved me countless hours of trying to figure stuff out by myself.
Tried Bard, not impressed at all. I did 3 different tests, and got 3 awful results. The website itself looks like a cheap clone of chatGPT.
Never thought I would see Google being left behind by such a long margin.
Yeah, but is it abandoned? I've been having some issues lately, and there have been no updates for a while, now.
They track you in a million other ways, what do you care anyway.
A Kobo e-reader. I now read much more than before because of the convenience, and I also became a book pirate. It has paid itself multiple times on the money I've saved in physical books.
