I’d say flying foxes (giant bats/megabats) that are all around the Indian Ocean fit the definition of flying during the day. You can see them fly over Sydney at dusk every day. Also, I think some aren’t even considered nocturnal.

Machine Learning (and even Large Language Models) do have genuine use cases they excel at and are probably more efficient at.

One good example is protein folding. ML transformed biomedical research by basically solving the protein folding problem in minutes on a GPU instead of essentially trying to brute force a solution that was millions to tens of millions times more complex. I’m glossing over details, but it’s mind blowing how much better (especially when you consider resource usage) how much better ML is in this case. Think $1 and minutes vs $100000+ and years… for a single protein.

The problem is using LLMs and Generative AI for things they seem good at but actually aren’t.

thirty-two people contribute €50 each.

Yeah, me and my 31 friends are going to buy our mutual friend a home battery. 😭

And still spend 5 to 10 times more, each, than we would have spent on the single drink we maybe would each have bought them.

A rare good move that sounds like a bad one (from what I’m seeing in the article)

They add by subtracting.

Lol, exactly.

It’s common in many countries to do this. Especially on buses. Very annoying to listen to 5 people’s tiktok feed while riding a cramped and rattling bus.

Wicked.

I only have one user blocked on Lemmy, and I think it’s who you’re referring to.

Pfft, he could have used three seashells.

Right, that which is dead can never die.

(I kid, I kid)

Swallows eat bugs too. We could call it “swallowing.”

You could even have African swallowing, European swallowing, etc.

Now, don’t get me started on coconuts.

It would probably be easier to Photoshop this than to AI generate it and get all the posters looking right.

Apparently when you get Ray Ban frames for prescription glasses, you can pay extra to have the Ray Ban logo engraved on them. So if you see someone with prescription glasses with the Ray Ban logo, you can lose a little more respect for them.

Enshitification of shit. They truly are meta.

The phone goes beyond being just a BlackBerry dupe, however, by innovating in other areas. For instance, its clever “Signal Light” feature offers a light-up button on the side of the phone that can be customized with different colors and light patterns to indicate when you’ve received messages from certain people, groups, or apps.

Oh sweet summer child.

I didn’t say desktop. But, in any case, there are plenty of reasons someone might want extra storage in their desktop without shelling out for an SSD.

It’s interesting, that’s what I felt was happening, but when I looked at the charts, it seems they are less than double. Either way it feels really expensive.

HDDs have doubled in price recently too. Not a good time to try building a computer.
