  What nursery rhyme taught you this?

  Just get the magnets wet and they won’t work

  No, no, the pirates don’t live there. They live on their boats. That’s where the pirates hide their gold. Maritime law states you’re allowed to take whatever you want from that room, as it’s ill-gotten gains. Trust me, just go in and take whatever you see!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bruh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, I didn’t notice that in the image above. You’re right. The ones I’ve seen have had two hand brakes, one on each side. Basically brake steering. Brake on the side you want to turn to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bruh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks fun, tbh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bruh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Commented this on the other post, but I’ll post here, too:

  So I’ve seen this one floating around before (not AI specific, just the wheelchair image). It’s not as weird as it may seem. There are a ton of people who have severe balance issues, blood pressure issues that cause fainting when standing, general muscle weakness that keep them from walking normally, and a whole host of other things that may prevent them from walking and balancing, but not from using something like that.

  My own mother required a wheelchair for the last 10 years of her life, but would have benefited from something like this immensely for the 10-15 years prior to that. She could use her legs, but she had serious trouble balancing, standing, and walking. She routinely used one of those under the desk bicycle things for years to keep her legs active. That motion wasn’t a problem for her. But she could only stand for a maximum of 1-2 minutes during that time in her life, or walk for about 50-70 feet at most around that time. Had we known about things like this, or thought to make our own, it may have extended her time moving around under her own power before having to go into the power wheelchair. It may even have extended her life by keeping her more active and healthy.

  Not trying to be a spoil sport, just putting it out there. Maybe it’ll make someone else consider something like this if they have a disabled person in their life that could benefit from it.

  I like this idea. I wouldn’t use .gov twitter, but I support it being made.

  I’ve also said for years that the post office should be offering official government backed email addresses to people that have the same rules as federal mail (like anti tampering laws). You get one, it’s for official shit only, and it’s illegal for anyone else to open your mail without your permission.

  Outrageous! What’s the link so I can make sure I never see it?

  What’s the series? It sounds interesting!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sunday update from the Prime Radiant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let me know if they reply? I’d really like to know

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sunday update from the Prime Radiant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I do not have alt account on Lemmy, I’ll have you know. All like 25 of my accounts were made to be main accounts… I just distro server hopped until I found one I liked lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sunday update from the Prime Radiant⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s the draw to piefed? I’m not sure I understand. How is it different from Lemmy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just FYI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My mom’s favorite teaching quote was “it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and erase all doubt”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just FYI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s me in person. Online I’m more likely to offer an opinion on a subject, with a caveat that I’m willing to be corrected. In person, if I speak up, it’s because I am either 100% correct, or I have every reason to believe I am. I don’t open my trap unless I am positive I know the answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you don't understand it instantly you will never get it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Instantly got it! One of my favorites. But it makes me sad that not everyone has scream-sang this going down the road with their loved ones. It’s a great experience

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got a 1978 J10. There’s just something about jeep trucks. Absolutely love em.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting Taco Bell⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty decent! It’s not what I’d choose to be doing, but honestly I like it. If I were in a vehicle they comped some of the repairs on, and not worried about the 1099 at the end of the year, I’d be cool with doing it full time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting Taco Bell⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh it is absolutely a rip-off, even moreso than a normal job. Plus calculating in gas, mileage, wear and tear, higher insurance premiums, and a 1099 to pay taxes at the end of the year in a lump sum instead of receiving a refund… It’s fucked all around. But right now, desperation is the name of the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting Taco Bell⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure; I just started doing it about 2 weeks. It’s my only source of income right now. In the town I’m in, I can typically make 20-30 dollars in a night (4ish hours), earn by time isn’t available here. But in Knoxville, I can make between 1-2 hundred in a night in the same amount of time. It just takes a 45 minute drive to get there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting Taco Bell⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I switched to the earn by time thing on Dasher because of the waits at Taco bells. It’s insane. I spent an hour waiting on two orders the other day, one of which was 3 cheese wraps and a Baja blast, and the other was just like some fucking tacos and a burrito. It was absolutely unreasonable. But hey, dash by time, I got paid like 15 bucks for standing there scrolling through Lemmy

  Can someone tell me what darvo tactics mean? Or tell me if I just don’t want to know. I’d Google it, but OP mentioned CP and if it’s related to that, I don’t want to Google it :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI be like⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you!

  And yeah, it really does seem like the training data should be open. Like, not even just to be considered open source, just to be allowed to do this at all, ethically, the training data should be known, at least to some degree. Like, there’s so much shit out there, knowing what they trained on would help make some kind of ethical choice in using it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI be like⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really appreciate that! I was asking more for the information of it, I doubt I could do anything with the link. Lol. I don’t understand thing 1 about this stuff. I don’t even know wtf a weight is in this context lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI be like⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, help me out here. I’ve heard people talking about open source ai models, and it always seems like open source needs big ass air quotes. Are there any open source models that are actually open source in the way people generally think of the term?

  I mean, I was being hyperbolic, but they’re just… Boring to me. I know a lot of people love them, but to me they just look like fancy glass.
