you forgot to reinforce the seats again?!
I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.
I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.

Ooh, I’d never heard of nor seen these before, thanks!
Linkin, trains, and nobody’s mentioning Lincoln Logs?

ALostInquirer@lemm.eeto Memes@lemmy.ml•In the near future, it is projected that contrarians will gain self awareness.1·1 year agoAll that aside, the point is that people talking about how it’s not “real AI” often come across as people who don’t know what they’re talking about, which was the point of the image.
The funny part is, as I mention in my comment, isn’t that how both parties to these conversations feel? The problem is they’re talking past each other, but the worst part is, arguably the more educated participant should be more apt to recognize this and clarify or better yet, ask for clarification so they can see where the disconnect is emerging to improve communication.
Also, let’s remember that it’s not the laypeople describing the technology in general personified terms like “learning” or “hallucinating”, which furthers some of the grumbling.
ALostInquirer@lemm.eeto Memes@lemmy.ml•In the near future, it is projected that contrarians will gain self awareness.72·1 year agoWhich is a fair point, because AI has never meant “general AI”, it’s an umbrella term for a wide variety of intelligence like tasks as performed by computers.
Do you mean in the everyday sense or the academic sense? I think this is why there’s such grumbling around the topic. Academically speaking that may be correct, but I think for the general public, AI has been more muddled and presented in a much more robust, general AI way, especially in fiction. Look at any number of scifi movies featuring forms of AI, whether it’s the movie literally named AI or Terminator or Blade Runner or more recently Ex Machina.
Each of these technically may be presenting general AI, but for the public, it’s just AI. In a weird way, this discussion is sort of an inversion of what one usually sees between academics and the public. Generally academics are trying to get the public not to use technical terms loosely, yet here some of the public is trying to get some of the tech/academic sphere to not, at least as they think, use technical terms loosely.
Arguably it’s from a misunderstanding, but if anyone should understand the dynamics of language, you’d hope it would be those trying to calibrate machines to process language.

…What are these? Something to do with hydrogen? Despite it not making sense for you to write it that way if you meant H2O, I really enjoy the silly idea of a water generator (as in, making water, not running off water).
ALostInquirer@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 20241·1 year agoWould you happen to mean readers with filtering tools? If so I’m interested as well.
I know Thunderbird technically has them, but I’ve had trouble making them work as effectively as I’d like. RSSOwl had some that were easier to work with, but stopped being updated. There’s now a fork of it called RSSOwlnix, but I haven’t taken the time to see whether it still works as well or not. May be worth looking into though…
Then this person is the problem and is projecting harder than a drive-in cinema.
Do their bulbs also burst far too easily?
If they’re already manager what do they need leadership coach for?

ALostInquirer@lemm.eeto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Yet another request for a note taking app5·1 year agoHave you tried/looked into Joplin yet? If I understand right, I think the one box it doesn’t tick unfortunately is the first (at least in the Android app), as it supports markdown which is only rendered after leaving edit mode.
However, it does have checkboxes and the whole note doesn’t have to be a checklist. You can write a description, add your checklist, add a horizontal separator line, another description, another checklist, all in the same note. It’s also FOSS and actively updated. Bonus as well is that it can be used with Syncthing to sync notes to your other devices, and there’s a desktop version which has some more flexibility over the Android app.
Have you been by !atheistmemes@lemmy.world? I think they might enjoy this even more there.
Is the small box to the bottom left of the boulder like its food/water box?
Ooh, so like bra cups, or…?
