The more determined they are to scan my eyeball the more determined I am to never let them.

I’m not even doing captchas any more. eBay threw one at me last week so I bought the same item elsewhere.

Yeah I almost didn’t put this one because I don’t get it, but several people I know have confused them.

Spanish and Portuguese

German and Russian

German and Dutch a bit

Of course. I think there are many things that we haven’t detected because we lack the instruments or even the concept they exist

Humans are constantly discovering life on Earth in places it was thought impossible, like deep underground or in very hot water around volcanic vents.

Certain cancers (HPV, EBV, HBV) have been discovered to be caused by viruses, not just randomly out of control cell replication.

IMO even astronomers suffer from short-sightedness. They tend to classify things in terms of our own little solar system when actually with billions of stars and trillions of planets there are likely very many astronomical objects and phenomenon that we have never observed or thought of.

Even if a few of the words are the same, the pronunciation is hugely different. More so than German or Spanish, which also share words with English.

It needs to cook a lot longer. Better and more efficient algorithms. Fix the hallucinating, implement quality control.

If the report writers can’t be bothered to put effort into writing the report why should anyone put effort into reading it? Huge waste of time and resources.

What all this has told me is there are a lot of people that can be very kind to their circle of friends and family, but have zero empathy for people they don’t know or relate to.

Warrior. Me smash.

Yeah and I have little confidence the proper treatment will happen always.

Yes, of course.

Never mind China, people don’t want data centers because they take so much increasingly precious water, make electric bills higher, are noisy, pollute the water, and raise the ambient temperature.

All this for facilities that are designed to take away human jobs. They are lose/lose deals for the working class.

I will say that for free but if China will pay me that’s great too.

Things started getting bad when Visa started giving merchants your new card expiration dates. No longer can you rely on an expired card canceling a service or subscription.

Citizens are being told data centers create jobs while at the same time one of the primary reasons for AI is to replace human workers.

The only jobs data centers are creating is construction jobs while they’re building the giant buildings and running the pipes and wiring to take all the local water and electricity.

I came here after the Reddit API mess but still posted on Reddit.

Got a temporary Reddit ban for a short statement saying Biden was caught genociding, then recently a permanent ban for saying the only way Trump is leaving office is if 100,000 people drag him out. “Inciting violence.”

303,000 comment karma, 8,388 post karma, 14+ years.

Going corporate is never good.

I am also starting to suspect the economy is being deliberately sabotaged to suppress the working class, making things so expensive makes income more important and travel more difficult.

If I was king they would have to run on 100% on-site solar and air cooling.

I’m only interested when the vehicles are simple and affordable and the charging stations are fast and ubiquitous.

I will say it’s a good time to leave Stripe, as most new things they announce seem to be something I think is a bad idea.
