While I do think that it's simply bad at generating answers because that is all that's going on, generating the most likely next word that works a lot of the time but then can fail spectacularly...

What if we've created AI but by training it with internet content, we're simply being trolled by the ultimate troll combination ever.

I fight the universe with the universe. I pull out a 20 sided die. 10 or under I pull the lever. I place all blame or credit upon what the die says.

My grandmother taught me that little rhyme along with the hand movements some 50 years ago. Never thought about it until I saw this.

She would appreciate the hell out of this meme.

That kind of coding is also where we get future self into trouble. Revisiting coding and having to figure out what the hell they were trying to do. They were just vibing, man. To read the code again, you have to rediscover that vibe, which may not be possible.

That describes all the coding I've written for decades now...even a side thing for work to automate stuff. I'll be the first to admit I hack things until they work well enough and don't legit code. Obviously coding isn't my profession, that wouldn't last long.

If we had a working government, the 25th would have been invoked a few times ago. It's one thing to go along with Grandpa as he rattles of craziness, but when Grandpa has power to make those things happen, and when the ones around him are somehow seeing the demands as rational...what a screwed up family.

I'm exactly that kind of person, would rather order online and no contact, or self checkout. Yet I still feel that pushing that to every service isn't right. Insert Jurassic Park quote here. Maybe doing things just because we can isn't the best qualifier.

Try to search around for things in the past mentioning both Kbin and extensions, as well as the Monkey script addons (VM ended up being the stable one, but other versions were used). Hopefully you can find archived discussion about it all somewhere.

There's nothing for Lemmy that I know of, but in the beginning of the first migration from Reddit there was such a thing being worked on by various people for Kbin. Kbin unfortunately is broken for a while now due to the developer's health issues, but there was a fork made called Mbin. And the good news is that the extensions for Kbin seem to work for the most part with Mbin via ViolentMonkey. I can't recall if I had to do much of anything to tweak it. I don't know if there's been any work since then, only that it still works for me now.

I looked back to find something to recommend to research, but short of using VM and searching for scripts to use with a Mbin site (like fedia.io) I'm not sure.

Not really Covid days yet, just the beginning and while very scary and chaotic, there was still some sense that the experts will step in and make things better.

Anyway...

I hadn't kept up with it. I think it will do for NEOs and the like what Kepler did for extrasolar planets. I doubt there's a dinosaur killer size out there now, but still plenty of city killers to find, and they are the ones we can realistically alter course once we know about them.

It really is more a function of time than anything else. The more time you have, the less action needed to change things. Plus, more time to analyze and confirm the path of danger as well as what the object is composed of (very important for what actions to take). Being able to detect early is our biggest weak point, as there is no active 24/7 search fully dedicated to that goal, it's all done from the night side of the planet during unused time on professional telescopes, and by amateurs wanting to verify their findings. The best way is with a full time space-based sweep in an orbit far from Earth.

So do they fund or support the minimal observation time made by professionals for threatening NEOs? Or are they just who NASA would call once a threat is established? And at the meeting the President would ask them, "okay, what are we going to do?" And they would reply, "there isn't anything feasible we can do at this point for prevention, sir. Just evacuate the impact point once we're very sure of it."

That's what the anti-tachyon modulation circuit is for, to change the time phase and remove most of that lag. Once they're in sync, it's literally real time!

Popular Science had an "open source" robot lawnmower plans in the...80s? I have it somewhere. Old enough that it used deep cycle lead-acid batteries and spinning round dremel blades. No laser to cut the grass, although it did use LEDs for sensors for grass height.

I have cats, and two Eufys, one for each floor. I don't run them every day since the cats are all shorthair and it takes a bit to add up, but it's nice to just let it go for a bit and check in.

And do that. Don't assume the vacuum is strong enough to suck things all the way in. They can easily be clogged the first run through and then you're just pushing crap around. Should carry the lesson over to any automation. Trust to a certain level, but know what it can and cannot do and when to step in.

Money alone can't buy happiness, but it sure helps with the down payment.

This would mean any liquid in plastic is a large source. Bottled water has other options, not so much the rest. I mean they could have different packaging and some do, but cost is a reason plastic is primarily used.

Isolation or minimal contact is not only another option, it always has been the first option to consider. It's difficult to do in our society, so we have other things like masking and distancing, but a virus can't spread to/from you if you're not around other persons.

Made the mistake of thinking I could spray one of the big Florida ones, coming from a place where I was used to the German cockroach. He did not die. He was however very pissed and tried to get me through the door I managed to shut in time.
