That sure seems like another off the top emotional response. It feels like someone here might have a double standard.

JFC. The irony of this entire comment, but the best is…
This is why I hate Lemmy sometimes. People don’t fucking read and just go off the very tops of emotional response… *Proceeds into emotional rant about stupid users*
The lack of self-awareness here is nearly palpable.

Thank you. I forgot the most important part: blackletter refers to a family of Gothic fonts. Fraktur, the font shown in the photo, is one variant.

But how will the LLM simulate shitting its diaper during meetings?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
I believe it’s Blackletter.
What’s interesting is the Nazi regime first heavily used Gothic scripts, particularly Fraktur, claiming these scripts were an element of Aryan heritage, but later banned Fraktur in 1941, claiming it was ‘Judenlettern’ (Jew letters). This was of course utter shite and is now understood to primarily be a pretense to switch to more easily read, modern fonts.
I hate it because I think Gothic scripts look neat, but they’re still heavily associated with the Nazis.

I had some friends that worked at a major retailer. When the first shipment of PS2s arrived, a few somehow ended up in a dumpster. They were taken in from the cold and found loving homes.

I, a mid fifties uncle, dropped a 6 7 reference to my sister whilst my teenaged niece was nearby and got a laugh out of her. Worth it. Embrace the cringe.

Many do. Sometimes they’re a tad dirty, but I’ll take that over waiting in traffic for an hour whilst desperately needing to piss. I can also read a book or even nap while on a train.

Also want to add something I saw in the US: light olive oil. It advertised itself as olive oil with a lighter flavor. It was olive oil diluted with vegetable oil, yet sold at a premium.

- Comment on Return to office propaganda floating around LinkedIn 4 weeks ago:
It’s not wrong, but what it describes is ethically wrong in my opinion. Raises and promotions are less about work performance and more about performative theatre. Being chummy with management is often a better predictor of upward career trajectory.

Valve float is when the cylinder valves are unable to close completely between cycles, usually due to high RPMs beyond the engine’s design, but possibly due to very high mileage, often well beyond 100-150k miles. This meme refers to the former.
Longer, more detailed explanation:
Internal combustion engines use something called poppet valves to control the flow of fuel and exhaust into and out of an engine cylinder. A poppet valve is generally a disc shaped, tapered plug atop a longer shaft called the valve stem. The stem runs through a stout spring, then through a hole in a disc attached toward the bottom. Valves are opened by being pressed by their stems, popping up toward the cylinder chamber to open whilst compressing their springs, then being released so the spring can push the valve closed again.
If an engine is driven to rotational speeds beyond its design, the springs may not have enough compressive force to fully control the valves. The valves begin to ‘float’, where they can be bounced open, opening too far, then are unable to completely close before being bounced open again. This can cause a number of issues. In high performance engines, this is prevented by stronger springs along with a stronger, more precise system capable of handling the force required to open them.
The meme is describing someone presumably driving a shitbox car pushed well past its limits to ourperform a high performance vehicle. It’s definitely an exaggeration as most vehicles would break well before producing that much force.

It’s about 48% successful on average. Individual success rates vary based on age, reason for using IVF, health and age of the mother, and the number of retrievals.
For a moderately healthy person in their early thirties, one retrieval provides about a 56% success, and three retrievals a 86% success rate.
