Indeed; it definitely would show some promise. At that point, you’d run into the problem of needing to continually update its weighting and models to account for evolving language, but that’s probably not a completely unsolvable problem.

So maybe “never” is an exaggeration. As currently expressed, though, I think I can probably stand by my assertion.

Proven? I don’t think so. I don’t think there’s a way to devise a formal proof around it. But there’s a lot of evidence that, even if it’s technically solvable, we’re nowhere close.

We will never solve the Scunthorpe Problem.

Harris gets to have her cake and eat it too, though; she can say she disagrees to give herself a little bit of distance from Joe in the eyes of the moderate right, and at the same time she gets the press bump on the moderate left from her boss saying it. Honestly, it’s probably going to go well for her.

The problem is that they never hear about the stuff MAGA folks do. Fox doesn’t report about it, but they blast Biden’s gaffes from the rooftops, meaning more mainstream news orgs have to cover Biden’s gaffes or risk looking like they’re playing favorites. So the MAGAs never hear about the evil stuff Trump says unless they go looking for it–which they only do if they want to hear it from him anyway.

You can definitely swipe up on a notification to make it go away without dismissing it.

Honestly, just make this habit: whenever you see a non-actionable notification, before you swipe it away, long press it and hit “turn off notifications.” Then you can go through that app’s list and choose the ones you need—or turn the app’s notification off completely!

For ones you want to show up, but don’t want interrupting you, switch their delivery to Silent and Minimized.

Be ruthless with your notifications. You’ll feel a lot better.

That’s hotly debated by moral philosophers and ethicists.

Oh, that makes all the sense in the world. You’re probably right.

Even if it’s a dozen companies making cases for every type of museum, zoo, and aquarium, it’s probably going to be a little bit like Chromebooks where the vast majority of different options are going to look the same unless you stare at them right next to one another or are in the industry. Most industrial design ends up pretty samey because that’s what people expect.

Why does every zoology museum look the aame

My guess is that it’s because there are only so many ways to arrange cases of bones and reproductions of skeletons in a way that’s visually interesting, compelling, and informational.

Fun fact: that was the original idea behind VLC! You could connect to video (and audio) streams. Hence, “VideoLAN.”

The smart engineer then buys a stock amp for $1000, 3D prints a dial that goes to 12, installs it, delivers it to Spïnäl Täp (I can never remember where the umlaut goes), and pockets his well-earned profit.

I would love to. I just don’t think I have the time to devote to it to do it right.

Is there a good, active writing prompts community on Lemmy?

Link, if you wish

This writing prompt from about a year ago on the other site is relevant:

Aliens take over the Earth. They then announce that they will be forcing the humans to work a “tyrannical” 4 hours a day 4 days a week in exchange for basic rights like housing. Needless to say they are very confused when the humans celebrate their new alien overlords.

I usually go with the last three. The mnemonic, “xcq, link stays blue” helps.

No, you can’t. You can pretend to, but I can pretend to trade things with anyone without paying any money. The only thing stored on the Blockchain is a URL to an image which everyone just agrees to pretend that you own; if that server goes down, you have nothing.

“What cities are the most expensive to live in?” THE ONES THAT PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN, PAL, THAT’S HOW CAPITALISM WORKS

No, when beanie babies were new you could play with them. When basketball cards were new you could trade them with your friends. They had inherent value first, and then they gained speculative value on the secondary market. Trump’s grift has no inherent value now or ever.

Do you honestly think that, on the off chance that the Trump family sells out of these things, they won’t immediately mint more? It’s “limited” in the same way Marvel movies are limited.
