Wait, if you can (or anyone else chipping in), please elaborate on something you’ve written.

When you say

That means they can engineer a solution to any problem that has already been solved millions of times already.

Hasn’t Google already made advances through its Alpha Geometry AI?? Admittedly, that’s a geometry setting which may be easier to code than other parts of Math and there isn’t yet a clear indication AI will ever be able to reach a certain level of creativity that the human mind has, but at the same time it might get there by sheer volume of attempts.

Isn’t this still engineering a solution? Sometimes even researchers reach new results by having a machine verify many cases (see the proof of the Four Color Theorem). It’s true that in the Four Color Theorem researchers narrowed down the cases to try, but maybe a similar narrowing could be done by an AI (sooner or later)?

I don’t know what I’m talking about, so I should shut up, but I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable will correct me, since I’m curious about this

This is very distressing, but not unexpected… Trying to silence Coffeezilla is the only endgame here, despite claims of his poor reputation being smeared by a thorough investigation

Off topic shout out: why not Chaco sandals for home and/or for going out?

It’s off topic, but OP mentioned having used sandals, so he can maybe consider them a good option

I’m blue, da ba dee da ba dam…

Hey dude, I’ve been looking for you for so long, since my Dad stole your bike and that was a turning point in my life, since I made a point of stealing your son’s bike.

It is said that this will continue for generations until the seventh son of a seventh son, who’ll transform into an upside down toothless vampire who likes garlic.

In order for this prophecy to come true, please ensure all your progeny keeps buying bikes.

PS Welcome to Lemmy!

I’ve read it this year for the first time. It’s fantastic. So short and so powerful.

So are there any good news in this respect?

Rewind

What is the sound of one banana clapping?

Zatoichi approves.

I stopped using Windows in 2008 (juggling between a mixture of Linux and Mac OS). One of the reasons, is that at that time I thought Windows was legitimately a mess.

Over time, I thought it got a bit better when seeing it on friends’s computers.

Due to laziness, Windows 11 got installed on my office computer (which I use 1% of my time) and I thought it was honestly pretty good (as in, I never thought about switching back, but it was fine to use it when necessary).

Now that they plug in ads, I’ll certainly want to switch back /s

You’re our hero!

How do you stay in a community, but filter content you don’t want through keywords?

I’ve been a lurker on Reddit for forever (about 15 years) and then the APIcalypse happened and my first and unique post on Reddit was asking for a Tildes invite. I didn’t enjoy Tildes, so now I’m here. We’re so much less that I feel I can’t lurk here too, so now I regularly comment here.

I was scrolling down to see if anyone said this, since it’s been the case for me so far. I have to say lately I’ve seen a raise in unfriendliness (not referring towards me, but in general), but I suppose it’s inevitable.

I’m still really happy with how people interact with me and with each other, and I haven’t felt that on Reddit for a while (am referring to both pre APIcalypse and after, though I now visit Reddit rarely)

This link has been posted and discussed on Reddit too.

Of course, we shouldn’t care about what people on Reddit think (and I noticed this post by chance since I log on there very rarely now), but some users in the thread genuinely ask about joining Lemmy and so I guess it’s useful to know about possible obstacles to trying it that they may perceive.

Chill out RobotZap1000 (though, I suppose your alias suggests you’re a fierce robot punishing earthlings 😄)!

I was just making a joke about the fact that normally we’re constantly receiving feedback to do/not do so something and we’re never entirely free to decide on our own

I haven’t watched the video, but…

(1) If I watch it, it’s on YouTube (a form of social media) so I’ll be influenced and manipulated.

(2) If I don’t watch it, it’s because I’ve read its title on Lemmy (another form of social media), so I’ll have been influenced and manipulated anyway.

Bottom line: being influenced and manipulated is everyone’s destiny, yay!

Thanks! I actually misread the last line by OP (sorry, I read it before going to bed!).

The comparison makes sense now

I don’t mean to be argumentative, but I want to genuinely understand your comparison: Scottish English and American English are the exact same language (sure there are differences that can be assimilated to regionalisms), but Spanish and Portuguese are two different languages (they come from the same root ane grammar is similar, but not the same, the vocabulary is generally different (though similar sounding)).

When you compare Scottish English and American English, I tend to see a relationship more similar to Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese from Portugal.

Cheers, mate!
