  • I'm pretty sure that you could use one of those departments to fully automate management. Just go full data-driven and tie salaries to revenue. The engineers can take it from there, they're plenty smart

  • Maybe you can just get Midjourney to make you a picture like this and call it a day?

  • Personally I love Lemmy as is, and as long as it doesn't die out, I don't care if it goes mainstream. The mainstream has a lot of apathetic trolls and idiots - Lemmy feels like early reddit did, when it was just nerds, techies, pirates, and the servers were down every day - but Lemmy is better because we rallied around open source this time

  • Potato salad

  • Water - swim

    Air - fly

    Space - ?? fly

    Ground - dig?

    Plasma - liquefy?

  • I think it's like a villain calling card. As a whole this war has been great for consolidating power

  • Try it like this: go for a walk in nature and focus on the senses. Try to really feel yourself walking, feel the clothes on your body, the wind, the distant sounds. As things enter your perception, be grateful for them. The dogs and children, the leaves and sun. Perhaps contemplate how: (1) this sensation (of ex "dog") feels inside you (2) the miracle of its construction, the billions of particles, the quantum effects underneath, and the orchestral perfection of its movement (3) all the relationships people have with their dogs (4) how dogs affect the entire world

    This technique gives you a large "surface area" for gratitude droplets to coalesce. With a little repetition, you can get very high doing this technique, making it fun and self reinforcing. Ultimately all sensations can be integrated into your larger self-experience, changing the small, separate identity, into a large all encompassing compassionate one

    My understanding: the fundamental skills are attention (focus/zoning in), awareness (broad attention of sensation), and gratitude (compassion/metta/love). You can train these skills whenever is the most enjoyable, including painting, dance, gardening, working out. Gratitude is the one that makes the most happiness up front, check out the "hedonic treadmill"

  • Buddhism, meditation, and generally knowing that everything is temporary. Gratitude / "counting your blessings" helps increase general happiness, as it's easy to forget what's going right

  • Cuz quarter inch jackets are for mice

    (and dainty jacks fall out. You can get an adapter if you really want it)

  • Git provides subtree (and submodules) which enable this with some planning

  • Yeah sure, you can mount an (unencrypted) windows drive in Linux, view the files etc. Linux can support the NTFS filesystem it uses. You can generally even do so from a USB flashdrive install of Linux

  • Yeah not soon, 3-10 years I'd guess. The latest research tracking AI growth says that our best models can solve entry level CS problems at 85% success. That's not good

    It's obvious that humans do more than just pattern matching. I think I would rate the current systems as a 25% speedup to my workflow, not bad, but only for menial tasks

  • Nah you're all good homie, and clearly an A+ student. Let the good debs roll!

  • "friends with the UAE" level liquid, apparently

  • I think it's basically high end military r&d and extensions of it into corporate services

  • I've found that some people fall in love from the outside in, others from the inside out, maybe a mix. You're probably more "connection leads to attractiveness" oriented (demisexual)

    Me too. I'm madly in love with many of my friends, but I don't make any demands, and I feel complete alone. They know and reciprocate. It's great when it's all open, honest, and non-controlling. Platonic love, affection, admiration, and fun - are very satisfying even without sex

  • Installing Ubuntu is so easy a raccoon could accidentally accomplish it while bumping into a keyboard in a trash bin
