- Comment on If I publish my memoir and wrote about every bad thing people did to hurt me while the people mentioned are still alive, how much trouble could I get in? 6 days ago:
It also stops them from getting attention, and dissuades people who might commit similar crimes for the notoriety.

I’m more surprised she didn’t end them first when she realised breakfast was to be late.

Or end up provoking someone who might not have the most reasonable reaction to it.

If we put aside humans for a moment, some species of animal have more than binary sexes. Some species of mushroom have thousands, for example.

Or rabies. Australians might have to watch out for their own brand thereof, but they don’t have rabies to contend with.

Not always. Flies, ants, and mosquitoes are all considered bugs, despite having no stinging capacity to speak of.
- Comment on Splitting Hairs, Splitting Atoms 5 weeks ago:
It is zero. You split atoms all the time, thanks to the radioactive carbon-14 in our bodies, from nuclear testing.
A nuclear bomb goes off because a lot of atoms split all at once, which causes a whole lot more atoms to then split. But that requires a critical mass. It doesn’t just happen on its own.

Although it really only happened recently. If you look at older generated images, they don’t have the yellow colouration.
- Comment on Why do all text LLMs, no matter how censored they are or what company made them, all have the same quirks and use the slop names and expressions? 2 months ago:
It’s something of the law of averages. At their core, an LLM is a sophisticated text prediction algorithm, that boils down the entire corpus of human language into numeric tokens, that it averages out, and creates entire sentences by determining the next most likely word to fill the space.
Given enough data, and you need a tremendous amount of it for an LLM, patterns start to come about, and many of those end up the ones that we see in LLMs.

Where do you buy thick bacon?
A cafe at my uni sells muffins with a centimetre thick slice of bacon in.
I was curious if it’s possible to buy bacon that thick as a consumer, and where. The local butchers either don’t have any, or just have the same thing slices Coles and Woolworths have.

Good luck!
- Comment on Velma can't math. 2 months ago:
Plus the first two seasons basically had the producers get fired, and a new person brought in.
That would be bad for any show.
- Comment on Fight me 2 months ago:
It would end up creating some, due to inefficiencies, which may contribute.
- Comment on Banana 2 months ago:
It’s still around. It just got replaced by the new banana for produce.
You can still buy Gros Michel bananas, they’re just harder to find compared to a Cavendish.

So are you. They’re not special.
- Comment on egg time 2 months ago:
You do see it sometimes, where people complain that dinosaurs are no longer fearsome giant lizards because we found out that they might have feathers, on social media and places.
It generally becomes obvious that they have never met a goose, chicken, or been at risk of swooping before.

Let’s compromise and call them both fish.

To think we could have almost had the Octopus system Hong Kong uses.

They’re nice when they work. Problem is when they don’t.

Why are the new Myki readers so awful? I’d argue them to be worse than even the first-generation readers with a bad read.
The entire device basically gets locked out on a bad read for about a minute. If your Myki doesn’t read properly, or your phone is acting up, a few retries could lock out a big chunk of the ststion gates.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 2 months ago:
IMO the appeal isn’t the actual breakfast in bed, it’s having your partner care for you enough to make you breakfast and bring it to you.
- Comment on Is there an anti- sleep-paralysis device? 2 months ago:
Lately, she doesn’t even wake up and she just kinda turns in her sleep and whacks me in the face like she’s hitting the snooze button. It’s… admittedly been very effective.

- Comment on How would you quickly describe Lemmy to a non-fediverse person? 2 months ago:
I don’t think a non-Fediverse person would be very familiar with Mastodon. They’d be more likely to go “What, like elephants?”.
I would keep it really simple, and just go for “Reddit alternative”. The whole Federation and decentralised business is going to be a sledgehammer if you introduce it to someone who’s not familiar with the concept.
- Comment on How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics? 2 months ago:
Then you shit out the slop content and hope your channel picks up. If it fails to drive numbers you abandon it and start with the next channel with the next topic variation. If you get lucky and the algorithm blesses you, you continue to shit out hundreds of videos.
I’m not even sure that you would have to do the abandoning part. There’s likely toolkits that let you upload to multiple channels at once. You can just start them up and spread them out as you wish.
- Comment on It's true... 3 months ago:
That’s a good way to get kicked out of the wet lab. Most tutors are incredibly serious about treating bodies with respect, you can’t take photos, or muck around with them.
Going Hamlet with them would be absolutely not on.

Hate it when the bed ends up cooked.

Induction does do that. It’s too bad that they tend to have the rather opposite problem where because they go so quickly, a lot of the time, the graduations aren’t fine enough to work with.
If it wasn’t for the fact that electricity was so expensive (3x the price for power, though an induction stove uses half as much), I’d not mind using an induction hob nearly all the time.
- Comment on Steady 3 months ago:
I honestly don’t think that they paid that much. Most of it is probably just some stock animation that they bought and use, rather than anything specific.
- Comment on Or the common cold! 3 months ago:
But they’re also not completely ignorant either. They’re just greedy, and don’t care about much else.

Another victim of the high blood pressure epidemic 😔
He should’ve tried eating less salt.
