Research found Body Mass Index (BMI) measurement is less sensitive to define obesity than we thought, instead, body fat percentage is a more reliable indicator of an individual's general health tha...

  • In before the 350 pound chunguses start talking about how much heavier muscle tissue is... Yes, BMI is unreliable and has issues, no you probably need to lose weight anyway.

    • Dolphins and orcas have passed the evolutionary point of no return to ever live on land again

    Jump

  • Well, since mass extinctions are around the corner, I guess there could be a chance! Once we've cooked the earth, maybe the next global apex comes from the ocean.

    • I laugh at the Ford every time I see it. Today i got at chance to park next to it and the the size difference is comically large.

  • Oh the thought police is here, best think my best thoughts.

  • My assumptions shouldn't matter to the owner. If you deep clean your work horse every night I'll have my own opinions on that, but what does the owner mind what I think, it's not like I'm gonna key their car.

  • Hey, if I see a pickup that looks like it's doing work (some grime, work equipment, etc.) then more power to the owner. If it looks like it just got the third layer of wax done, maybe not so much.

  • If your juiced up Dodge RAM or this Ford monstrosity is all shiny, no speck of dirt in sight, then it's not a work vehicle and the original assumption probably applies.

    • Lemmy vs Reddit in a nutshell

  • This.

    • Just Nuked My 12-Year Account: A Retrospective

    Jump

  • I'm not sure I agree that the copy&paste communities are per se a bad thing. Those communities came to be on Reddit organically due to demand and trial and error, nothing wrong with not reinventing the wheel here and continue to use and provide what worked (in addition with innovation that the early adopter crowd can bring, of course).

    • Is it just me, or is Lemmy 1000% better?

    Jump

  • Definitely has a level of "aliveness" that already makes this a usable Reddit replacement.

    • Google Bard enters the EU as it gains Google Lens support

    Jump

  • Bard is... not great. Feels rather far behind GPT-4 and Claude-2. Refuses to answer complex requests, seems to randomly forget conversation history and so on. Surprising, I figured Google would have beefed it up by now, but I guess not.

    • Global Foldable Smartphone Market Continues to Expand, Underpinned by China

    Jump

  • I'm certainly down for a foldable assuming the initial problems with hinges and screens are taken care of. I mean what's not to like, large screen when you need it, small form factor if you don't.

    • 💅 Voyager icon design contest — Submissions thread

    Jump

  • My point is that not all AI work is "enter prompt and let Midjourney poop out the final product", and if you use Photoshop's built in AI tools you wouldn't even know that AI was involved to begin with. If I put that mouse logo through a SD ControlNet, let it generate something, put that into Photoshop, comp it onto a separate background, then there is zero way for you to know if AI was involved or not. This is a larger conversation of course, where to draw the line, when is something "human made" (pencils on paper, tablet, 3D modeling tool, AI assisted tool, AI only, etc.). The rule should be: no bad entries. Entries that are clearly AI generated are bad, so there's that.

    • 💅 Voyager icon design contest — Submissions thread

    Jump

  • Absolutely up to you of course, but I really disagree with OP's premise. The best icon should win, not the most "handcrafted" or whatever. AI assisted tooling has gone mainstream at least since Photoshop included generative fill as a first class feature, excluding it from such a competition on the basis of "the poor artists have it rough" seems like an odd take to me. Especially since you could easily use AI for all relevant layers and then submit the Photoshop file with it.

    • Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?

    Jump

  • You can include Google as well as Linus, considering the majority of compute hardware on the globe exists due to those two entities.

  • Garbage in, garbage out. I use(d) Twitter to follow a bunch of high profile Machine Learning and Software Engineering professionals, and my (non algorithmic) feed was rather useful and informative.

    • R-Type: An 8-bit Port Comparison

    Jump

  • Now that's the sort of quality content I'm here for! I've never really gotten into shmups back in the day, on account of them being so God damn hard.

    Ever since I've got an Anbernic 35XX on my nightstand with every game under the sun on it I've been going through the various shmups, and R-Type just is the best of them all. I love the SNES version, personally. That being said, no genre makes me rage quit more, and basically every loaded R-Type save state will greet me with a Game Over screen, but it is what it is.

    So, across all retro console generations (Arcade, 8/16/32), which is the best R-Type in your opinion?
