Lemmy, what's the meaning, or point if you prefer, of life? I know 42, but I'm serious. Nothing lasts, everything is meaningless - are we just amusing ourselves until death?

  • It might be interesting to you that the total number of humans who have lived and died is about 110 billion. So in the last 100 years or so 10% of all humans who ever existed were born.

    And regarding the warming for millions of years, I think we had multiple periods on earth with higher CO2 levels. No humans existed back then but life in general was quite fine. We are at about 400 ppm right now. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_in_the_atmosphere_of_Earth#/media/File:Phanerozoic_Carbon_Dioxide.png

    Not to be too optimistic, we are heading for an unprecedented crisis. But reducing emissions matters because we are not going to go inevitably extinct.

  • Andrej Karpathy is absolutely a nerd to me. He's not about selling you LLMs but about teaching you how to build your own (I recommend checking his videos out, they are one of the best resources on LLMs)

  • I was already looking for any lost souls claiming "Eierkuchen" or similar. But I am a bit confused, I think you spelled "Palatschinken" a bit wrong 🤔

  • Well, lots of words are sort of derogatory in programming right? Hackers hacking things together, rubber duck debugging (you have a bug? Go talk to a toy!), git blame and probably more

    Edit: forget git blame, git itself is already slang for idiot. As Linus Torvalds once said, he created two successful projects, both named after himself

  • But it only takes 3.5 hours per turkey and a day has 24 of them. So if some people get up at 3am it works out!

    • New slop just dropped, from OpenAI

  • openAI lives off of the AI hype. Take a look at what Facebook does with AI for a more moderate take on AI. It's not useless, openAI just hypes it way beyond where it is.

  • Effective at what? Germany capitulated only once it was almost fully occupied (e.g. Berlin, Rhineland). The bombs might have helped by binding resources and demoralizing the population but that didn't affect the capitulation directly.

  • The Latin origin. Words ending on -us turn almost always into -i in plural in Latin. And that's where it comes from (octo eight, pus/pes foot).
