They're leaving like redditors to Lemmy. There's dozens of them!

Looking back, I realize I was pretty immature at 22. It didn’t feel that way at the time, but it sure does now. These days, 18‑year‑olds look like kids to me.

I didn’t want kids back then, and I still don’t - but my perspective has shifted a little. When I see parents now, there’s a slight melancholic feeling that comes with knowing that’s something I’ll probably never experience.

So yeah, if you’re 30 and don’t want kids, that’s probably not going to change. Before that, though, there’s always a chance.

I have no issue with this whatsoever. I block people so that I don't need to see their posts, not that they couldn't see mine. If you don't want others reading what you post online, then don't post online.

Could not be further from the truth.

Being in debt isn't synonymous with being broke.

I could pay off my house tomorrow if I wanted, but financially it doesn’t make sense - so I keep the debt. That doesn’t mean my net worth is negative or that I don’t have disposable income.

"If we just trusted women"

We don't trust people based on their gender. We trust them based on credibility and evidence. If there's even the tiniest amount of doubt then it better to let the guilty walk free rather than put an innocent person in jail. And I'm speaking broadly here - not about Trump specifically.

Miss? You won - and now you want to ruin that.

…you bought him a house? I mean, good for him, but that’s pretty wild. I’m guessing the car probably isn’t an ’05 Toyota Yaris either.

When I was 20, my parents gave me 50 € a week for a few years so I could just barely cover my expenses, since my student financial aid didn’t quite cover rent and living costs. That stopped the moment I got my first job, and I’ve pretty much been on my own ever since. They did help pay a few repair bills on my first car and backed my mortgage, but beyond that, I haven’t gotten any financial help from them.

I honestly think you’re doing him a disservice by helping that much. I don’t think I’d appreciate money the way I do now if I hadn’t had to struggle through those early years. It was reassuring to know my parents were there if something truly catastrophic happened, but I’m grateful they only helped just enough to keep me afloat - and not a bit more.

I think the interventions here are more like: "that's a trash can someone pushed onto the road - let me help you around it" rather than: "let me drive you all the way to your destination."

It's usually not the genuinely hard stuff that stumps AI drivers - it's the really stupid, obvious things it simply never encountered in its training data before.

My savings are invested in the stock market, and the returns I get from that are higher than the interest on my mortgage. If I liquidated my investments to pay off the house, the savings from not paying mortgage interest would still be less than what I’d make from the market over the same period. I’d rather use the profits from my investments to cover the mortgage interest - that way I still have money left over. If I did the opposite, I’d lose that extra money.

Large language models aren’t designed to be knowledge machines - they’re designed to generate natural-sounding language, nothing more. The fact that they ever get things right is just a byproduct of their training data containing a lot of correct information. These systems aren’t generally intelligent, and people need to stop treating them as if they are. Complaining that an LLM gives out wrong information isn’t a failure of the model itself - it’s a mismatch of expectations.

When the title is in the form of a question, the answer is no.

In Finnish "pili" means a small dick.

You're describing a paid service. With "free" and "respects privacy" you can only pick one. Free services like that are funded by violating your privacy.

It already had a new owner which is why I stopped using it years ago.

Almost every single post from you mentions that you're a single mom to a 13 year old boy and you ask about things like co-sleeping, wether it's okay to wear bikinis in front of your son and his friends, how to teach them about bodily changes during puberty and now you're a stripper as well.

I've been seeing you around here for a while now and there's seems to be a theme here.

The other camera (my phone) doesn't have a 200mm telephoto lens.

In the book "The World Without Us" the author states that old steel bridges would be among the last human made structures left thousands of years after humas have dissapeared for the reason that they didn't have strenght calculations back then which they solved by simply overbuilding everything.

Asbestos pipe isn't necessarily as dangerous as it sounds. I don't know how it reacts with fire (other than not burning), but asbestos in itself isn't dangerous - it's only when you breathe the dust that it becomes a problem.

The entire exterior sheathing of my house is asbestos. I'm literally sitting inside an asbestos box right now.

I can think of only two ways that we don't reach AGI eventually.

1. General intelligence is substrate dependent, meaning that it's inherently tied to biological wetware and cannot be replicated in silicon.

2. We destroy ourselves before we get there.

Other than that, we'll keep incrementally improving our technology and we'll get there eventually. Might take us 5 years or 200 but it's coming.
