Don’t get the app, it’s not nearly as good.
You’re walking through a 3D soundscape of rain on a loop.
What instrument does your cat play!?
Gods damn I loved Legion!
Make every 10th page out of flash paper!
You did say, “very”, yeah?
422·14 days ago“…suddenly come alive…” is a poor choice of words for an event that will most likely sterilize all life from that galaxy.
Oh you sweet, dear, child…

You can never unsee some of these, so proceed with caution, and only after waiting a full hour after your last meal.
Do it you man baby!
Can I Venmo you $5.50 and you grab me a slice? Just mail it back!
Where I live that’s $12.
Is it your Day of Cake on Lemmy today, or did you add that emoji to your user name?
If it’s the former: Happy Day of Cake!
If it’s the latter. Well played!
Holy Shitballs:
Also, hilarious that I can’t even get ahold of your support chat to question this unless I agree to these terms beforehand.
I can’t even uninstall Photoshop unless I agree to these terms?? Are you fucking kidding me??
Realising I also need to agree to the terms if I want to sign in and cancel my subscription
Can someone there give me an email for someone who can cancel my subscription without having to sign in and agree to these new terms first?
41·27 days agoPick a good bread that’s low in fat & sugar, and high in fiber, and pair it with a glass of milk to ensure a complete protein is formed with the PB, and you’re good.
Add in sliced banana for some sweetness, and toast that bread first (so your PB gets gooey) for a real treat!
“The best thing you can do as you grow older is to do it gracefully.”
The ‘canvas’ which everything else resides upon is currently thought to be Quantum Fields: Quantum Fields: The Real Building Blocks of the Universe - with David Tong. (A 1h video by a theoretical particle physicist that’s in layman’s term, very educational and downright LOL funny at times. Well worth your time!)
A Field is something that permeates the entire universe. There’s thought to be a field for every particle in the Standard Model. Electron, photon, charm, up, etc. A particle forms when the field is excited, and these particles interact with each other to form the universe.
What a great look for such a deserving company.
The best advice I have is one I found on the internet: Whenever you walk through a room pick something up and dispose of it, or put it back in its place.
Pick up plastic trash on the street. I walk/take transit and if I: 1) see plastic trash, and 2) see a trash can nearby; I pick it up and dispose of it.
The incident in Chinatown was due to the fact that Waymo AI expects everything to follow the law. Therefore driving through a busy part of the city should be fine because the streets will be clear as pedestrians follow the law.
Was the Waymo AI wrong? No. Does it need to learn human behavior? You bet!
The cyclist was hit because the rider failed to follow the law and maintain a “safe clear distance” from the vehicle in front. It was literally a few feet behind the big truck. By the time the AI saw the cyclist it was too late, because nothing should have been that close to the truck.
The AI we have now is perfectly fine as long as every sentient creature out in public knows and follows the law. Therein lies the next part of AI training…
Drivesavers!
They’re not cheap, but they can damn near recover anything.
Example: We had a sales rep. in Saudi Arabia for a month. On the way there he dropped his laptop bag. Wouldn’t startup and made a rattling sound when shook.
For over a month he had a detached read/write head dancing across the drive platters. (He kept his replacement laptop and the damaged one together in his bag…)
Drivesavers managed to recover every file but one. Also the first time they failed to recover the entire drive for us, and we sent them <5/year. When we got the drive back it was shocking how much damage that head did to those platters, and amazing they only failed on one file!
This was over 2 decades ago and cost us $2.3K. Not sure what they’re charging these days or if they can selectively recover files/folders as we always did the entire drive.
But if you absolutely need that data they’ll get it!
Not affiliated with them in any way, just a happy customer in my last job.
