... people who are single generally still have family members of one sort or another. Humans are generally not reproducing through parthenogenosis.

Mostly rednecks.

Job Interviewer: Do you know Я?

Data scientist: Ya.

IMO, the fix isn't a pill or treatment. The fix is for society to learn to be okay with people who need to live on a different schedule. I am hopeful that the work-from-home evolution will bring about different attitudes. In job interviews, I offer to work a west-coast schedule, which would match my needs quite nicely. Too bad schools feel the need to start at zero dark thirty, or I'd be on my way to somnial bliss.

I generate AI content (some of which is art) for fun, so I am not against it in theory. I just dont so far find much enjoyment consuming AI content made by others. So far the vast majority of it is mediocre. Which seems like a natural consequence of lowering the barriers to entry.

The Sora demo, for example, is very compelling technologically, but it didn't impress me at all as something that would replace creative work, so much as provide a tool to get it done differently.

As AI content becomes more prevalent, I will continue to further disengage with that content and prefer authentic human experiences, to the extent that AI content continues to feel mostly soulless and vacuous.

Eh, I'd say a better word is "progress." Or maybe "technological progress." Evolution is the change in gene frequency in a population over time.

Agree, otherwise. Its like trying to tell people not to make things go boom using saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. Luddites will always want to burn down the textile mill.

I once swiped a nice micropipettor from our college lab (later returned.) To this day, I can't figure out what I thought I'd do with it. I'm pretty sure I just for so jazzed about how much fun they are that I had to have it...

Its not a bug, it's a feature.

I miss the golden age when we had AIM, ICQ, or GoogleTalk, etc all on the client of our choosing.

wow. That's a seriously shitty attitude, even if they did actually work for you, which ... they don't.

Exactly. I've been referencing this comic for nearly 20 years (2 weeks off) and it's still just as relevant.

For the uninitiated:

You just have no idea what they do, clearly. That doesn't mean they don't do anything.

Hangouts was the best thing going for a while there. Of course they had to goog it up.

This sub is "Today I Learned", not "Today You Learned." OP just learned about it and wanted to discuss with other people. Seems reasonable.

And, indeed, though I knew most of this, I've still found some of the discussion interesting. What, then, is your problem? No one is forcing you to visit the thread at all.

even less know Rust.

Hmm. If only there were a way the developers who already know another popular language could contribute to help the community. I suppose someone could make a Lemmy -compatible server in another, more popular language. Nah, that's crazy talk.

I think average just means "normative" to most people.

FYI, in case you did not notice: nutomic, the user you're replying to, is one of the two creators of Lemmy. Make of that what you will.
