How is this a mildly interestin post rather than a shitpost? (I don’t mean that in a bad way, I’m genuinely curious)

This is Lemmy, you’re going to need a tone tag for this crowd. I think /j fits.

Do I have some bad news for you, king.

As long as the behaviour caused by it doesn’t affect others, I agree. So Fentalyl, not so much IMO

Yeah, there are benches in most shopping streets as well as basically all parks and nature reserved (NL; YMMV)

No, coinage.

This really suits henfredemars’s comment

Oh man, I remember these stick-on tattoos were such a thing here in the early 2000’s! Now I’m starting to miss those. Now I’m starting to wonder how many people actually got real tattoos of these back then?

I was gonna say, it looks like the emblem of the city Triskellian from Ironclaw. I guess, that’s not surprising after all. 😅

Sign me the fuck up! 😃

Thank you so much!

I mean really, fuck Microsoft and Windows!

It’s less accurate

I might be mistaken, but don’t these two lines mean the exact opposite in this context?

Is AI more often right, or more often wrong?

I mostly agree with you, except for the fact that LibreOffice Calc is actually better once you get used to it.

I can’t say the same for the rest of the LO suite, because that’s just a decent replacement rather than an improvement.

Also, you could’ve been much nicer about this. There was no need for you to insult people over this.

I would say it’s a good example of a bad use-case for an LLM; you don’t have sources, and you can’t fact-check anything. Those two are absolutely vital requirements when claiming something as true.

Aside from that, most generative AI have been trained on vast amounts of data that was never allowed to go into the dataset; copyrighted/IP-righted paintings, articles, comics, and novels have been included against the wishes of the artists/authors. The fact that nothing is being done on a legal system level shows that copyright and IP rights clearly do not apply to American oligarchs, and many of us don’t like that. Most generative AIs also need an absurd amount of power to run and hurt the environment a lot. It sucks to separate paper and plastic waste just to know that there are people blasting through an hour worth of airconditioning just to ask a computer something they could’ve looked up instead (and found sources, too!)

I say this as someone who loves using AI and experimenting with it¹: This was a very bad use-case of generative AI.

¹: although lighter ones and locally like Mistral, using open datasets like OpenOrca

Looking it up, there’s a discussion on Framework’s Discourse, but nothing shipping yet.

The best hope at the moment is to buy and connect an LTE M.2 key card that connects over USB-A, which would work on any laptop, come to think of it.

Hold up, there are third-party SIM card expansions‽

I don’t have a Framework laptop (yet) but once I’ve got the money together I really want one!

I would guess that if you go province by province, state by state, territory by territory, you can probably find others with very high gun ownership rates.

Well, yes, the Falkland Islands.

Out of the completely sovereign countries, Yemen would be second place, though the US more-than-doubles their gun ownership per 100 civilians indeed.
Now, Falkland Islands and Yemen also have far, far fewer guns than the US; their high gun ownership comes in part from their small population.
India and China rank second and third in total guns owned by civilians, but purely through their sheer population. Gun ownership per 100 civilians ranks low in China (3.6%) and so-so in India (5.3%).

Don’t get me wrong, the fact that the US only barely doesn’t double some tiny territory’s gun ownership by population, still speaks volumes for the US’s insane level of gun ownership!
