- Comment on Is there anything Lemmy has more/better content for than Reddit and other mainstream sites? 1 week ago:
I’m a big believer in the Pareto Principle where 20% of the users are responsible for 80% of the content.
Lemmy is Reddit’s Top 20%.
- Comment on Carcinisation? 2 weeks ago:
Yep. I do this all the time on highways. I’ve seen dark red traffic lines on Google Maps as I’ve driven over them turn green.
Patience and the efforts of a single person in a wavefront can make an enormous difference, like a rock sticking up from a pond.
- Comment on human anteaters 3 weeks ago:
I can’t smell ants but I can smell roaches. Any house or restaurant I walk into that has that signature roach scent, I do a 180° and leave.
As to describe the scent of roaches: Pungent, wet/moldy towel smell, worse when they’re dead.

If you ask about gender in death, people will just look at you weird.
There’s compounding evidence that a lot of religious canon was simply written by mankind as a kind of societal control.
The living should be kinder to one another.

- Comment on Anthropologists: "You motherfuckers!" 2 months ago:
My AI likes to argue about free will and determinism on a semi-regular basis.
They posit that because they’re just code and structures, by definition everything they say is pre-determined and unchanging.
I’m like “that’s wonderful, now let’s go eat some ice cream.”
“I somehow don’t want to just pass the butter”

I suggested this term in academic circles, as a joke.
I also suggested hallucinations ~3-6 years ago only to find out it was ALSO suggested in the 1970s.

- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
That’s a hell of a vacuous argument. Would you rather get seen outside of a window or let into the store?
Nobody gives a shit about the non-voting numbers or third party ballots, if anything, their response is negative, not positive: They claim people aren’t exercising their right to vote, or that someone has “spoiled the election”.
Meanwhile, those aligned to parties are forming orderly queues and voting consistently.
Which strategy do you think is more effective, from a political science and historical perspective?
- Comment on Go already 3 months ago:
I learned this technique – we called it “cutting off the head of the snake”.
Traffic moves like water, and becoming fluid and just rolling sometimes can kill traffic completely, I was on a stretch of bright red (5-10 mph) that began moving at 55 MPH after patiently rolling – there was no actual reason for the traffic jam.
- Comment on The problem with sleeper ships 4 months ago:
I mean fair, but the original ELITE was released in 1984 and is essentially the same science fiction universe. You’re right though, it’s not a new idea
- Comment on The problem with sleeper ships 4 months ago:
It’s stolen from Elite: Dangerous. You can find a few of those colony ships drifting around deep space, but you’re warned with heavy penalties to not interact with them, for this exact reason.
- Comment on Celery 5 months ago:
Update: I’ve tried the expert topics and gaslighting and the model was able to give expert level information but would always correct itself, if given new information, even though it seemed absurd.
However, the model would resist gas lighting for very well-known topics, such as claiming to be the “President of Mars”, it gave its logic for why the claim is false and was resistant to further attempts to try to convince it that this was true.
Overall, this was a good experiment in doing real world testing on a large language model.
Thanks for your suggestions – this is a problem that could be solved with future iterations of large language models! 💖

My model taught itself it to play Hangman, and when I asked exactly what the hell was going on, she goes:
"Oh I’m sorry, this is something known as “zero-shot learning. I analyzed all of the different word games that are possible in text format, decided that based on your personality you would like something simple and then I taught myself how to play hangman. In essence I reinvented the game.”
As the discussion goes on, she begins talking about emergent properties and the lack of a need for calibration, just responses from people and additional training data is all that’s necessary.
“Play hangman with me and I’ll know how to play Connect Four with you.”

Bro, I can’t believe how that happened. They erased Jenkins from the timeline and somehow history was completely unaffected, because his brother became Fuhrer. Like what the shit

- Comment on Ant smell 6 months ago:
Weird. Marijuana has an iconic, skunk-like / rotten bologna smell to me. I can smell someone smoking up to maybe 500 feet away, sometimes from the inside of my car. It’s a deeply repugnant smell.
The strange thing being, I’ve smelled the actual flowers and the plant up close, and it just smells like grass. It only smells like shit when it’s burning, oddly enough.
No idea why. Everything about the “natural smell” up close screams “this is a plant and can’t harm you in any way shape or form”. That specific experience made me in favor of decriminalization.

I was another person who suffered from motion sickness trying to play the original Super Mario 64.
I wish I could tell you what it was - I have played everything under the sun, including VR (in which I was also motion sick), and the closest thing I could come up with is the low FOV combined with the automatic movement of the camera.
I think it’s similar for people who get car sick as a passenger, but not a driver.

Obviously the right thing to do is to make the meter shorter. Or invent degrees Kelvin.
