trickle down is when i piss on thatcher’s grave

I think you meant this as a comment to the post, not in response to me?

without watching the video - google search is falling apart because there’s a lot of shit content, a lot of bad articles being written.

and there’s a lot of bad articles being written because there’s a lot of authors that just want to make money from advertising, without actually caring about the content. in other words, it’s advertising’s fault that the quality of content is dropping. and ironically, it’s mostly google’s fault that advertisement on the internet got so big as it is today.

maybe i should learn polish

I wonder whether it was the right decision to not federate with Threads.

On the one hand, yes, they would have caused a lot of problematic content, but on the other hand, it would have meant a lot of new users, and that would have livened up the place a bit. I guess.

Maybe we could do a switch in the user profile for Lemmy where it says “show Thread posts in All posts”. Or something.

uuh, new users for the fediverse. looking forward to y’all ;-)

I hadn’t read it before, and I thought it was interesting, and the article is still as relevant as it was back then. I thought many others missed it too. It’s also pretty well written.

People are in denial. AI is going to take programmer’s jobs away, and programmers perceive AI as a natural enemy and a threat. That is why they want to discredit it in any way possible.

Honestly, I’ve used chatGPT for a hundred tasks, and it has always resulted in acceptable, good-quality work. I’ve never (!) encountered chatGPT making a grave or major error in any of the questions that I asked it (physics and material sciences).

ooh i see

Honestly astronomy from earth is notoriously difficult, for various reasons.

• there’s already a lot of light pollution, due to atmospheric light dispersion, so finding a good spot for telescopes is already difficult.
• there’s the issue that images become blurred, again because atmosphere.
• We already have telescopes in space, why no re-use them with an additional camera?

Spaceflight is unstoppable at this point. I look at the colonization of Mars like a distillation process: we remove all of the restless assholes and billionaires from Earth, and they leave us and leave us the fuck alone. That’s a good thing; We should support it.

All money is fake money, though.

If it’s one homeless guy dieing under the bridge it’s a capitalist scarecrow sothat other people work harder.

If it’s a hundred homeless guys dieing under bridges the people understand that the problem is not them, but capitalism. That’s illegal.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

Both sides are wrong, just that Democrats are center-wrong, while Republicans are far-wrong.

oh wow, the second one is actually impressive. :)

We could have separate instances for the normies and for the femboy linux users. And then, everybody can choose which instances to block/follow.

Tbf, democracies kinda always suffered from this problem.

The italian long-term prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was a comedian before going into politics. And so was english prime minister Boris Johnsson. In other words, they were used to catering to audiences, instead of having technical training. (IIRC)

I disagree. Such a thing is not feasible. In 1500, when the printing press was developed, Martin Luther tried to raise all people in the entire population to be priests, because “now that they have books, they can educate themselves”. Obviously, it didn’t work. I think most people just aren’t made for higher knowledge, and we should accept that fact rather than push people through a high-pressure high-stress levels school system.

I wrote a piece about why imaginary numbers are actually important. It’s in german though.

To sum it up, to every polynomial equation, there exists at least one solution to it, if you allow complex numbers to be solutions.

I want smaller games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less, and I’m not kidding.

I agree. Wholeheartedly. I think it’s just so obvious how quality dramatically takes off when the people creating it feel safe, sound, and economically stable. Financial Security (UBI) drives creativity probably more than anything else. It’s a huge win!
