Why bother with that? If you need shoes to dissolve, regardless of the materials, just subject them to my foot sweat for a few months.

It’s not the reviewer’s fault! When they asked ChatGPT to peer review the paper it found nothing wrong.

Preferably not when asking for username and password, since that messes with password manager autofill.

I agree from a general fuck lawns perspective. I hope to never rake another leaf or mow another blade of grass in my life.

In the context of my argument, though, I’m complaining about the propaganda tactic involved. They’re manipulating the public by using a subject that brings up outrage already (lawns are bad is part of it, but the bigger part is pitting the poor against the not as poor but definitely not really wealthy) in order to draw attention away from the real issue.

In California only 10% of our water use is by consumers. A ridiculous amount of our water goes into crops that we sell to China allowing those farms to turn our water into massive profits!

During droughts here our leaders tell us to not take long showers and to not flush as often. They even pushed restaurants to stop serving water without being asked first.

And you see lots of stories about the horrible homeowners who dare to water their lawns! Oh what a wonderful distraction from the issue that one is from the fact that no amount of consumer changes can make a difference and small restrictions on corporations would solve the problem entirely!

The part you’re calling “a hell of a stretch” is actually the reason LLMs work. It’s not a good text parser. It’s a great pattern matcher. And it matches patterns that aren’t obvious or intuitive.

Many of the listed uses are actually great for this type of tech.

In theory, because of the amount of data used, there should be matched patterns that would allow it to be used for psychological research. Replicating well known studies in that area with the tech is a good way to test that theory.

Using it as a first-line simulation might not be a bad idea as long as its followed up with a real study to validate the results.

We just need to make sure that humans are checking the work properly because, as you say, it’s not sentient, nor is it really capable of following a code, like the scientific method.

The real thing to fear is humans not doing their part out of greed, laziness, or malice.

This is very good from an admin or moderators perspective.

It makes it harder for new people to get into the fediverse, though. I’d love a version of this that helps new users find the right community.

It would be interesting if something like this federated out to other communities. I’d provide info about me as I feel comfortable, and what I want out of an instance of that federated service. Any community that signed up for it would get a notice of my interest and they could ask for more info or accept or deny me. Instead of the one response I could have many options at the end of it.

It would help me find smaller more closed instances without having to know about them, but still leave the control over whether they want to get to know me in their admin’s hands.

Then we also wouldnt have to deal with this kind of meaningless drama.

The day to day drama in corporate software development is MUCH more meaningless than what you’re dealing with.

I used to install custom ROMs on my android phone and spent days of my life getting everything exactly the way I wanted things.

I ended up with a clunkier version of iOS.

Ultimately I don’t need or want an open platform in my pocket. I want to be able to trust that the App Store isn’t garbage, and don’t want to have to worry about my parents easily installing viruses on their devices.

I know I’m earning this downvoted spam, but…

This requires you to use enterprise-oriented features that blast you with warnings telling you not to do it. After you ignore those warnings they can install anything they want on your device.

This is basically sideloading for corporations.

And it is exactly an example of what will happen (and be quite common) if regular sideloading and alternative app stores with no Apple validation are forced on us.

It’s a problem on Android, already. Banking apps disable themselves if your device is rooted due to malicious Trojans that exploit that feature to gain easy access to your data.

I agree with your sentiment, but it’s still a Trojan.

It just requires you to bypass all of the “do not do this unless you know what you’re doing” warnings to go through the very obviously risky process to be able to install the Trojan.

I’m really confused. Focus mode doesn’t just turn itself on or off for you. It’s something you have to either activate or schedule. Third party apps can also activate it, I believe, with permission. It also synchronizes across devices, so if it’s turned on on your phone it will turn on on your Mac.

You seem to be having some issue that isn’t related to the default behavior or I’m not understanding what you’re asking (my bad if so).

Electric boogloo?

This time it’s personal!

That’s how funding for grants works!

You’re a geek.

Nice!

Do you actually think that the user who posted this applied for this job?

The same user who reposts all the content on lemmy, bless his heart.

This is a joke someone posted elsewhere that has been reposted here.

lemmy winks are so much more rude than reddit posters and twice as gullible.

I’m so sorry that you expected better on a repost about the number 420. 🙄

Yes. You are right.
