And if you haven’t used it in a while, we recently made a blog post giving a rundown of the changes leading up to our most recent major release.

Robot clearly never watched the ending of Fallout 3 about letting the humans do it instead.

That’s neat. Until a representation of something on a blockchain has any legal meaning regarding authenticity, ownership, or anything else, and until the overwhelming majority usage of NFTs isn’t as a scam, NFTs remain a pathetic and comically stupid class of speculative asset constituting a pyramid scheme that also happens to destroy the environment.

Whether something is open-source or not is dependent on what license if any its creator chooses to put it under. a) This comment confuses me more than anything, and b) if you want to make a better Flappy Bird game, you’ll probably have a better shot forking one of the existing clones than waiting for whatever steaming, uninspired pile of shit comes out of Belfort’s wallet.

• NFTs are objectively a scam, and unsurprisingly, 1208 – these developers – proudly and prominently display Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort on their homepage.
• They just say “open-source” without stating a license, and coming from people willing to put a pyramid scheme in their no-effort mobile game, that sends up red flags for openwashing.
• If it is open-source, that isn’t god’s gift to mankind or anything. There are plenty of existing open-source Flappy Bird clones that mimic it – as best I can tell – one-to-one because Flappy Bird isn’t a complex game. And I’m somehow doubting a game designed to hawk shitty-ass NFTs has a lot of detail put into it either.

Damn, and you almost picked the cool, not tankie kind of communism too.

Veganism. I went vegetarian and stayed there for a long time, and I assumed taking the extra step to being vegan would be too difficult relative to what I thought at the time was a marginal benefit. A couple years back, I watched the documentary Dominion (NSFL) and realized pretty quickly that I’d been mistaken. Of course it was more than just Dominion, but it’s such an acutely traumatizing kick in the teeth that it was definitely the last straw.

Is there such a community here? Maybe you could start one.

I blame both, much in the same way that I’d blame a quack doctor and parents bringing their kids to the quack doctor.

13 words per minute isn’t impressive

Worse than that, it’s abysmal. That would’ve been a failing grade back when I had a few months of mandatory typing classes back in 6th grade. 40 WPM was an A, and arguably that was overly generous due to factors like 1) most students weren’t nearly as exposed to the keyboard in their daily lives as they are today, 2) the testmakers probably didn’t fully grasp how important the Internet would become, 3) the test intentionally obscured the keyboard so you had to go by feel, and 4) because of (2), the class was very short despite taking you from knowing no typing to using all the English-language keys. (I just barely passed it IIRC in the 45-ish WPM range.)

On a whim, I decided to pull up a typing test – something I haven’t done in probably 5 years – and tried to see how I could do by simulating the speed of hunt-and-peck. I really tried to make it excruciatingly slow, and it still came out to just under 20 WPM. Next, I tried to see what I could do if I only had my left hand, and it was 35 WPM with 97% accuracy. If you chopped off one of my hands, I could still type 2.7x faster than the average kid in that school’s fourth grade could – bearing in mind that that’s the average, meaning as long as the data is roughly normal, about half of the students fall below even that.

That’s completely insane in a world where this iPad generation almost assuredly has tons of exposure to the QWERTY keyboard layout. It’s just inexcusable, it’s absolutely not the kids’ fault as them doubling their average typing speed after actually being taught to type shows that, and it totally tracks that it’s in Oklahoma.

inb4 one of these gets improperly installed and gives someone an existential crisis (still looks pretty and useful for the directionally challenged, though!)

The students will learn using a mixture of artificial intelligence platforms on their computers and virtual reality headsets.

Suspicions immediately confirmed that the principal is a complete fucking dipshit who just wants to chase whatever trends sound futuristic. What an awful person for putting kids through this garbage.

real world hobbits

!lordoftherings@lemmy.world is that way.

He actually threw $44 billion at it because he’s a fucking idiot who wanted to manipulate stock prices and then was masterfully forced into the purchase by Twitter’s legal team.

However, yes, he has since been destroying it, likely to the benefit of investors such as the Saudis.

Here you go.

• The Captcha extension allows you to automatically bypass Captcha prompts by clicking an extension-exclusive icon that pops up on the Captcha.
• When you’re completing a Captcha manually, what you’re actually doing is being given samples from a dataset and training AI to be able to accurately pick patterns out of images. Essentially, you’re doing free labor for Google.

Right? Like they’re trying to equivocate and act like radio waves are this strange thing that science doesn’t quite understand yet, when in reality they’re unbelievably well-understood, and it’d be ridiculous to insinuate that radio waves passing through your body perturb it in any even remotely harmful way. The only reason this study had to exist is because of a bunch of psychotic quacks and grifters who say this kind of thing with zero evidence.

You would get more damaging radiation from the potassium-40 in a single banana than you would spending your entire life immersed in humanity’s ocean of RF waves, and that’s because a radio photon isn’t fucking ionizing.

The actual reason is that Google wants free training for their AI. Here you go:

Silly vegoon, you can’t just invoke obvious facts from 2nd-grade biology and a rudimentary understanding of thermodynamics which would tell you that there are enormous energy losses in converting plant matter to the animal flesh that I eat. I don’t understand either of those subjects, and so that means you haven’t addressed my point. 😡 Now excuse me while I seriously claim that animals are only fed on “waste crops” or whatever while 67% of crops in the US are grown to feed animals and every 3 calories of beef takes 100 calories of grain.

I am very smart and not at all arguing in bad faith.
