Nope, that's not out of Hitler's playbook, that's out of Stalin's. The Nazis killed psychiatric patients and converted hospitals to barracks; they did not fill them.

No, it wasn't. Or to be exact, we don't know, but it's highly unlikely. In 2009, the bone growth pattern of Myotragus was thought to occur only in cold blooded animals, but in 2012 they found it is widespread in extant mammals as well.

AFAIK, Windows was discontinued after Vista. Windows 7 is actually the 7^th iteration of the Microsoft version of OS/2, which was rebranded as Windows NT with the release of the third version, and as Windows sine NT with the seventh version. Windows 9 had to be skipped because a sloppy version check for Windows 95/98 would have failed.

My browser eats timestamps, til. And yes, that is impressive.

Thanks, I'll listen into it.

This is far worse than being not a reliable source of info. Ms Chen had all the info she needed, and Claude falsified it.

Hm. I wasn't able to listen to all 9:53:57, but in the samples I watched I heard a voice resembling the classical computer voice of Science Fiction movies of the 70s. Better than most YouTube AI generated audio content, but good enough to narrate audio books? Well, we'll accustom to anything, I guess.

To rephrase my question: where can I listen to an example of good AI spoken content?

People are more complicated than cars, and surgeons are no magicians. I think your idea of the reason of your mother's surgeon for refusal might be a bit off:

1. Without adequate pre- and post-op physiotherapy, a joint will likely be worse after surgery.
2. If simple physiotherapy is already too painful, cutting into this overexcited tissue risks inducing a complex regional pain syndrome.
3. If someone suffers from both depression and from too much pain to do physiotherapy, they need a multimodal pain therapy to prepare for surgery.

So, based on the bit of info you provided, refusing surgery was very likely the right thing to do to avoid worsening your mother's situation. What I di hate is when doctors don't explain themselves and just say "I can't help you", but do not point patients to someone who can.

So cloudfare found out that your true self is a bot — time to optimize some of the anthropomimical code.

Reading is not an alternative to listening. Both have different use cases. You cannot read while driving, to name just one.

Using different voices to read different parts of a book turns an audiobook into a bad audio play, and arguably, a bad audio play is worse than a mediocre audio book.

What audible misses is, that, while reading is a technique that can be automated, narrating is an art. They can use AI to read books, they cannot use AI to narrate books.

Your example of AI use is a good example of this: AI can read your content. AI can enhance your capabilities. But only you can narrate it.

Did you ever heard a single AI-narrated content that did not make you run away screaming?

Good news: gravity assists going down hill, if you acquire the knowledge and technique to use it. Well, if not, going down hill wrecks your knees, and falling down cliff potentially even more.

Pedophiles won't be attracted to 14 year olds. Pedophiles are only sexually attracted to kids before they reach puberty. Most 12 year olds are safe from pedophiles for biological reasons.

It's not the pedophiles you have to guard your adolescents against – it's sexual predators. And you cannot just assume someone is safe only because they turned 18 and lost all legal protection.

So, are 17 year olds adults?

Biological speaking, yes, and for a couple of years already.

Culturally speaking, no, and they've got a couple of years to go before they become adults – there was a reason why comming of age used to be at 21, not 18.

They are in between biological adulthood and cultural adulthood.

There is a term for this stage of life: adolescence.

17 year olds are neither children nor adults. They are adolescents, adults in training.

On jerboa, it just shows the link to the picture. In most posts with images I see on Lemmy, the posters provided a description of the image in the text part of the post.

On work we accumulate a wealth of pesonal notes, forms, links, articles etc. We are strictly forbidden to use USB-Sticks, but the DVD-Burner are still working...

My last DVD was a Knoppix though, just for the fun of it.

It's a style of writing German used primarily in ich_iel. The name is a word play on tongs (German Zange) and tongue (German Zunge, or, as a synonym to language, Sprache). Zangendeutsch uses as many English words as possible, but translates them in the most ridiculous manner possible. The word Zangendeutsch itself is a nice example: die deutsche Sprache = the German tongue => the German tong = Zangendeutsch. There is a tiny community reverting this principle, using English vocabulary with German phraseology: i_itrl. Check it out to get an idea of the effect.

Only problem is that we are the next mass extinction event. can we survive us?

Might be wise to not accept the offer of the installer to partition the device in this case. That's self–evident to anyone who lived through losing data, not so for beginners.
