This is exactly why I just could not get into mastodon, and probably Twitter-likes in general

There’s no way, atleast at the time, to sort by top of the day. No way to see what was trending across the larger fediverse, no real way to find new and interesting things every hour on the hour

Lemmy is thankfully significantly better with this, and it’s honestly become my go-to social app now

I don’t live in a society that profits from my self doubt, I live in a society that profits from making everything more expensive every year

The embed on my client only gave me the middle 2 panels for context and honestly still funny

Next you’ll be telling me that Schrödinger wasn’t a cat

Welcome, gentlemen, to Aperture Science!

“You have to pick levers continuously at every instant in time”

Supertasks: 🗿

Honestly, having a world that’s just alone and empty, but not “abandoned”, sounds so soothing to explore, so liminal

Until insanity set in, but until then I’d have alot of fun just exploring the place for a while

Everyone gangsta till you do this and actually see 4 stars on the windshield

Steam Machines would unironically be the year of the linux desktop

“I am inside of a Generative AI algorithm”

Everybody gangsta still we invent hardware accelerated JSON parsing

I can see the utility, but there should be at least some critical operability in case the phone or app doesn’t work for whatever reason, to help avoid injuries like these

Science was green

Also math was my favorite subject, and red is my favorite color, so math was red

Nah red represents the fury of dropping a negative, and blue is the sorrow of having to write with awful handwriting that stopped improving after 3rd grade

AI: “This code will create a memory leak and potentially crash the users operating system”

Me: “Nuh-uh”

AI: “Correct”

IMO I’d call “AI Artists” a type of Art Director, since they themselves don’t make the art but instead direct and dictate what exactly they want, and if the result is different they tweak their wording to direct the art into a different direction

Art Directing, whether for a human or a machine or otherwise, is still a skill itself and still has to be learned to get good results, but it’s distinctly different from making the art yourself so I wouldn’t call them “Artists” outright

Was the lever track supposed to be a supertask? Cuz 1/(2^-n ) is just 2^n , so each instruction takes exponentially longer to execute, so unless the complex turning machine halts in like a single instruction, lever guy is gonna die 100%

But non-lever guy has the potential to either die after a very decent while, or never at all, and lever guy is safe too if i don’t pull the lever

New graph just dropped

Why is this whole post about photons? I always thought that the double slit experiment was interesting because this happened with electrons, even individual electrons would still generate the interference pattern, and I guess I always thought that you could detect which slit the election went through by detecting an induced current or something

My knowledge on the actual thing is minimal
