  • Fuel is NOT a basic human need, especially in countries where gas stoves are extremely uncommon or banned from being used in new houses (which includes most of Europe). In fact, in most of the US electric stoves are also by far the most common type (with the exception of California, NY, Illinois, and New Jersey).

    Fossil fuels as a "need" is manufactured, it's completely artificial, it shouldn't even be legal to install stoves or heating that require gas. The US and Canada also shouldn't have shitty car-dependent infrastructure. The only reason we have these problems is because of propoganda from fossil fuel corporations promoting garbage like "gas stoves cook better"... whatever that's supposed to mean... or lobbying to keep cars as the only viable form of transport for the past hundred years.

    I agree with the rest of your points though.

  • if it's an anime about lesbians it's bad

    actually scratch that, 99% of animes are bad copy-paste fan service trash meant to appease (usually edgy) middle school boys in the first place

  • The US navy has more tonnage than the Chinese and Russian navies combined (which isn't surprising considering most of the Chinese navy is basically fishing boats with guns attached, and the rest is small low-quality chinesium boats that wouldn't be able to withstand a kid throwing a few rocks at it), and the US navy by itself also has a larger Air Force than China's actual air force (almost half of which is helicopters anyways, practically useless for combat in the sea); although if you consider the entire US Department of the Navy (which is Navy + Marines) then they're the 3rd largest air force in the world, behind – you guessed it– the US Army Aviation Branch (mostly helicopters though) and the US Air Force.

    Then there's the fact that the US has significantly better military technology available & experience to use said technology and to create more technology, along with the resources to actually utilise it; the same can't be said about China and definitely not Russia. Most Chinese military "innovations" are basically terrible knockoffs of American technology.

    Plus the US military has significantly more skilled and higher skilled people available in the military, while rivals (China & Russia) have extremely corrupt military leadership, very little modern combat experience (relative to the US), in general just a very low-skill military and small pool due to authoritarianism & nepotism, practically zero capabilities outside of a small area from their territory.

    Based on all of that it's safe to say that it's practically impossible for the US military to be "spread thin", there's no way for anyone to take air & naval superiority away from the US in any location. The US military has more jets, helicopters & naval vessel displacement than the rest of the top 5-10 countries combined. With those vehicles having significantly higher quality (and having been tested out in combat, having issues ironed out) thanks to the US MIC being extremely competitive&lucrative and not really having crippling nepotism or anything similar to that of China/Russia. The US logistics network needs reworking now but it's not that bad lmao. Especially compared to rivals.

    Also China is objectively in the wrong here lol, they're directly attacking random Filipino boats for no reason other than China's illegitimate water claims. China loves attacking its dear neighbours constantly because of its shitty authoritarian & imperialist government.

  • wtf kind of cursed programming language is this? JS? it's so ugly, in no universe should a function look like that

    but obviously as a rust enjoyer i have to do it like

     
        
    fn max ⟨T: PartialOrd + Copy⟩(nums: ⁊[T]) -> Option⟨T⟩ {
        let mut greatest: ⁊T = ⁊nums[0];
        match nums.len() {
            0 => None,
            1 => Some(*greatest),
            _ => {
                for num in nums {
                    if num > greatest {
                        greatest = num;
                    }
                }
                Some(*greatest)
            }
        }
    }
    
      

    edit: lemmy formatting REALLY hates references and generics it seems... time to go back to medieval times

  • What? That's literally how it works, a neural network makes connections based on patterns it sees across all of the samples it has. This is how it works for biological neurons and it's how it works for artificial neurons. Are you stealing everyone else's rightful property when you draw a character in an anime artstyle? Because that entirely came from neural connections formed from you viewing other peoples' art. What you created is not "original", it is formed entirely based off of patterns you obtained from other things and mixed together. With the added bonus of you having an actual stored memory of other peoples' art that your brain used to form those connections, so you tend to make it even more similar to already existing art than you realize.

  • you have 189 lemmy comments in 2 months of having the account... you shan't be personally insulting anyone with shit you make up in your head about this kind of stuff lmao
