Look if you want me to say it right I’m going to need a very simple tutorial on that upside down R backwards e notation that I don’t understand but they put beside the names on Wikipedia.

I don’t know, once math becomes Greek letters and mathematician names it sort of seems to circle back around.

You missed the top one
0 - they are old and or stupid and don’t think of the consequences of their actions

Some of them look like bad Dragons which I’m told can be very expensive. A true connoisseur I suspect.

They are free to put whatever they want into their free software.
They are also free to be heavily criticised and ostracized for it.

Look man im sorry I can’t emphasize with a tweet screenshot I’m just trying to get through the day.
- Comment on She's just defending her country 1 week ago:
Despite the fact that Lemmy / Reddit whinge about her constantly I guarantee most of the public doesn’t know she has these views at all.
That movie will show up on prime or where ever as another mediocre entry and old people will watch it and continue on with their day.

You are marketing to the top so you want to make your tools look and feel like the tools they are used to.

This is the reason you don’t ‘sign in with Google’ or Meta or whatever.
- Comment on They have already decided to promote an existing employee. But play the "search" game and screw you 2 weeks ago:
Sometimes management already has someone in mind for a job but corporate policy is it must be posted. Hiring is always a risk and people will try and derisk by hiring a known quantity but for those who don’t know this already they are going through the already arduous task of applying for something they were never going to get.

They are but since we don’t get a lot of true scifi media ( I would describe most as space fantasy ) I’ll take what I can get
- Comment on You can't argue with his logic 3 weeks ago:
I thought Mormons were like a pyramid scheme. Only the top 300k Mormons get be be God of their own planet so they have to get more in so they can be at the top.

Cool I’ve thought about getting one of those when my current one plus gives up.

- Comment on Xbox wanted 77M Game Pass subscribers by 2026 — today it has less than half that 3 weeks ago:
We are not quite there yet but I’m sure there are at least a couple LLM powered vtubers kicking around that can pay a few tokens to while you watch them play games badly.
- Comment on Xbox wanted 77M Game Pass subscribers by 2026 — today it has less than half that 3 weeks ago:
I’m not sure it was a mistake. Netflix but games is a pretty compelling offer but the industry has just constantly mistepped over and over with jumping the gun on ending disk based sales and it has poisoned the well a little bit on digital offerings.
Plus the game industry constantly makes ridiculous projections they fail to meet. MS was always going to have to burn money for years to get this off the ground if they even manage it.
To their credit at least they didn’t Google it up like Stadia.
- Comment on Domino's Pizza is going digital 3 weeks ago:
I’m always curious about the dominos hate.
I get Domino’s from time to time. It’s the closest ‘fast food pizza’ to (about 50m walk) and I don’t find it any better or worse than the other chain pizzas.
50m in another direction from me is wood fired Neapolitan pizza place that also makes decent pizza but it’s a different thing entirely for me. Sometimes I want one, sometimes the other.

You would need to hose the wall off constantly to deal with all the failures.

I thought one of them needed to breath through her skin or something and that’s why she didn’t wear pants?
Maybe I should play some of these games.
- Comment on Keep off the sofa 5 weeks ago:
It just used to be the style in the 80s and 90s. Even by those standards it’s a bad fit but that’s why I assume he wears them.

A large part of Twitter is just the society pages.
- Comment on I love houses that trap heat! /s 5 weeks ago:
I feel like I’ve seen this headline every year for half a decade.
Time to put those heat pumps to use, we are not doing anything about climate change so it’s the new normal.

Incidentally kids are drinking less than they used to, at least in North America.

- Comment on Remember when the power grid couldn't handle electric vehicles, but now data centers are essential....... 𝗣𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀. 1 month ago:
The models themselves are not incredibly expensive power wise for inference its the training that is the real power pig.
Eventually things will slow down as we hit the wall on this tech and people start trying to work around the limitations of it. With all the money in it right now though it might be a while.

My off the cuff guess would be the success of who framed Roger rabbit even if Jessica rabbit was not an animal.
- Comment on "Farms use more water than Al data centers" OK, I'll go without Al and you can go without food and we'll see who lasts longer 1 month ago:
Not all farms are required.
Farmers like to claim they are ‘growing your food’ while exporting grain and selling corn for ethanol or shipping alfalfa to Saudi Arabia for cattle feed.
They are incredibly unsympathetic.

- Comment on Not Over Yet ☝️🤓 1 month ago:
It depends on how much management is above or below.
There have definitely been times in my life where a meeting was just a reason to zone out and take a break while someone else got their chance to listen to their own voice.
