Also just checked and every open ai model bigger than 4.1-mini can answer this. I think the joke should emphasize how we developed a super power inefficient way to solve some problems that can be accurately and efficiently answered with a single algorithm. Another example is using ChatGPT to do simple calculator math. LLMs are good at specific tasks and really bad at others, but people kinda throw everything at them.

The problem is I also have a deep deep distrust of Google. So much so, I think I would rather pay a little extra for a subscription that I feel more directly benefits creators and doesn’t support a company who’s business model is selling spyware and tech addiction. For example, in addition to Nebula I’d consider Dropout TV, Floatplane, Curiosity Stream.
There’s a certain level of cognitive dissonance on my part since I use Apple products. So I’m trying to slowly self host more things and migrate away from big tech.

I kinda set a no ads tolerance policy for myself. I pay for some services (e.g. $5/month for Nebula, I donate monthly to Lemmy, etc). YouTube is the main area where ads tend to creep in since iOS doesn’t have an ad blocker. My goal was to totally ditch YouTube for Nebula, but they are missing some creators I like.

What’s youtube? Signed, a Nebula user.
ps. Ik ik tell me I should use PeerTube.

Idk if that was me being completely stupid and misreading that, or if ad stations is something in our near future that we should be worried about

Hold up… they have ad stations? That feels worse.

You said ads, but I think you meant “late stage capitalism”

It’s crazy how there are just more and more reasons popping up to go to Costco (e.g. supporting DEI, infinite return policy). I’m gonna get a membership.

Or even better, “Join Lemmy, it’s like Reddit with no ads”.

I bet a piece of duct tape over the speaker would work. Also, whatever money they are paying the gas stations, they would probably still get that money even if you manually muted the speaker. Really feels like a win win 😀

Last I checked electric still required a significant amount of emissions for power generation. Only the car itself is “clean” energy. There is also a significant amount of emissions in manufacturing the electric car. I believe we should start phasing out gas cars asap and build a more green power grid. Personally, I bought a used gas car which I believe is more economic and better for the environment than a new gas car. And I live in a more walkable area now, so I do much more walking than I used to. I know I’m still contributing to the problem, but I’m trying to be better.

I bet someone like cloudflare could bounce them around traps across multiple domains under their DNS and make it harder to detect the trap.

What’s the threshold for a video that’s too long and requires a timestamp? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? 20 minutes?

- Comment on Anyone else get the thing where images and post titles become confused? It can often be humourous. 2 months ago:
I’m not a recycling list expert, but I think the more keys you use the less react is able to reuse components in the list. So this is one area where keys are actually worse. You may be able to use them only on the image part of the post, but packages like expo-image have a recyclingKey prop you are supposed to use instead. But I found expo image to not work very well so 🤷
But I think think the app we were referring to isn’t react native? Idk how native recycling lists work tbh so maybe you’re right about the key thing.
- Comment on Anyone else get the thing where images and post titles become confused? It can often be humourous. 2 months ago:
100% guessing here, but native apps sometimes use recycling virtualized lists. That means as you scroll the list will reuse the container that renders the post title and image. Often the image is still being fetched but you already know the title. So as you scroll, it reuses a post you previously saw, instantly swaps in the new title, but the new image is still landing so an image from a previously post in the list is displayed.
Idk if that made any sense at all, but keep an eye out if the title is new but the image was previously seen.
