  The nineties was the best decade.

  Not low effort posting IMO, this is a part of our culture & has historical value.

  You just did though … 😁

  It’s “it’s not your onions” c’est pas tes onions.

  And the anus thing is fun but just a theory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a Russian pls confirm⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I stopped liking their art and culture after 1890.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In the sun, they’ll get … red!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Books?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great idea⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Found LOTR 1 so now I had to buy the 2… Nice getting back to that book though, it’s crazy how much better it is compared to the bombed down films.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s way better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As they say, intelligence is knowing tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

  (That’s the saying, but IMO it’s wisdom to know and intelligence to not do it, maybe I’m mixing things up).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plant Slurs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I love it, what language is that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plant Slurs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ogräs in swedish, gräs is herb and the O is like making it not-grass.

  Röka gräs is smoking weed though so suddenly it’s getting the good treatment.

  Depends on how angry they are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Eat your fat fillers then! Drink the grease!

  What is it with people who must be so agressive when they are wrong?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨thinkpad⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you!

  Often it seems the “ideal conditions” are like being in space or something so the real values might be quite decieving :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨thinkpad⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried it/know someone who has? I’m always weary of wattage on solar panels as there is so much marketing inflation and bs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck fighting 200 8 year olds

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And probably buying shitty meats for starters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨thinkpad⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d prefer solar and wind 😁

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨we are creators⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There was this graph about the time between major inventions, going back to agricultural stuff 10.000 years ago, and it like halvened each X years quite reliably, we are in the part where in some years it might touch like minutes. Interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Allende was like 50-60 years ago. Let’s talk about today? Say the nineties and onwards at least? But I feel you’re stuck with the Kremlin whataboutism and cannot see a good thing if any kind of bad thing happens, even if it was half a century ago+. Again, the idea of a “country” is very prevalent in your explanations IMO, which discredits your ideas IMO.

  The UN? Lol, yeah sure, a police for everyone except for the powerful veto countries, how do you even think it should be ran?

  But I think you have your fundamental ideas, and they are incompatible with mine it seems, so thanks for the chat but I’ll stop here.

  Cheers

  Yeah the MNIST dataset, fun times.

  I don’t even know if we’re on the same page or if there is something we dabate, everything you say is totally valid IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have 10 years of game dev under my belt, and I wonder where your idea that I think A* is AI come from.

  Do you know how machine learning works? Please tell me about this new AI that isn’t based on it!

  Don’t get me wrong, I think you’re not wrong, Dijkstra isn’t AI, techbros are trying to shovel “AI” into everything for the buzz, but you’re explaining yourself a bit haphasardly IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m with you on a lot of things, but my angle is this:

  If Russia, Iran, NK & China was democratic, the world police (the US, but now the EU is stepping up too because of the US president clown show) would need to do way less interventions in the world, just for the basic security of their people (they do bad things too I know that), and could like feed the people and so on.

  I’m throwing in Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and a whole ton of other non democratic countries here. Before they let the people decide, we have to band together in the free world and do what we can to help them, if possible.

  So no, we can’t become bohemian hippie countries just yet :-)

  Or so I think.

  Interesting, my art friends, around 50% just love using generative AI for images to use, the other just don’t care. No one does digital art though, or not as their main style for what I know (acrylics, oil paint, gouache, aquarelle etc ).

  I don’t like AI gen images because there is always tons of crap in colors and lighting, I guess for composition it could be useful but I don’t use images for that personally, so I like go on pinterest.co.kr with an ad blocker and use my imagination.

  Yeah there is someone on a downvote spree lol, no problems & thanks for your post!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Symbol Of Love⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There is that pen that makes me write like that…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just expressed that AI is good in some places, like research.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  AI is machine learning. It was just called “machine learning” before every C-suit had to try to sell it.

  I’m with you when it comes to shitty images, but there is interesting approaches too IMO, especially when they will get better, if they do. As for art, it’s just another tool in the toolbox. Painters treated photography similarly, and do you remember (if you’re old enough) when digital cameras became affordable and everyone and their grandma became “a photographer” and flooded the planet with soulless photos? I do 😅

  Art is art, no machine will change that, but maybe it will help people get into the arts, with the cost of a lot of slop ofc. Which is cool IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it seems you only judge AI on large language models, not when it’s used in other ways like in research. I integrated AI (Tensorflow) in a massive project in 2016, it outperformed other AI at the time and makes real differences in particle detection. For example.

  So just know that AI isn’t just chatgpt or midjourney, that’s the products people try to shove into everything and upsell.
