If your posts turn up in /c/all they’re going to get treated accordingly.

And this is fine. /c/all should let users downvote posts they don’t like so popular stuff can rise to the top. That’s what makes /c/all sometimes worth looking at.

Otherwise, it’ll just fill up with all sorts of crap from communities with no downvoting rules, including edgy borderline racist stuff that’s not quite bad enough to get banned, or just shitty positivity memes copied from somewhere else.

Your problem is that you can’t delist your community from /c/all. That sucks, but right now your posts are turning up in two different communities with different expectations and you just need to deal with that.

How many electrical planes have you seen?

It’s interesting. There’s a lot of talk about how chatgpt makes people lazy, but honestly I think Google killed the “read the manual” ethos.

Back in the day when you couldn’t just search for everything, you needed enough understanding of the manual to find anything in the index.

So a key part of figuring anything out was reading at least the start of the manual.

Now, fuck it, you just type into Google and try to guess enough context to understand what’s going on.

You’ve got it backwards.

This kind of voting forces the existence of two party systems.

Suppose you have two parties one left wing that gets 60% of the vote and one right wing that gets 40% in every district. Right now the left wing always wins.

If the left wing party splits into two blocks of 30% each, the right wing always wins.

So if you want to win, you can never split from the large parties, even if you feel unrepresented.

It’s just such a dumb take from the FT.

Trump is shooting the American economy in the foot with tariffs. Imposing reciprocal tariffs would shoot the EU economy in the foot too.

Talking him down so the tariffs are smaller and less damage is done globally is the best possible outcome.

Nothing is being legitimized, it’s just that America can not be stopped from fucking it’s own economy, and will have to unfuck it on it’s own later.

One of the criteria is to deliberately peg your currency to the Euro for two years. This is optional and you can simply never do it.

So Sweden will not join the Euro without a referendum, even though they don’t have an opt out.

You absolutely can’t use LLMs for anything big unless you learn to code.

Think of an LLM as a particularly shit builder. You give them a small job and maybe 70% of the time they’ll give you something that works. But it’s often not up to spec, so even if it kinda works you’ll have to tell them to correct it or fix it yourself.

The bigger the job is and the more complex the more ways they have to fuck it up. This means in order to use them, you have to break the problem down into small sub tasks, and check that the code is good enough for each one.

Can they be useful? Sometimes yes, it’s quicker to have an AI write code than for you to do it yourself, and if you want something very standard it will probably get it right or almost right.

But you can’t just say ‘write me an app’ and expect it to be useable.

So a random person on Reddit claimed there’s about 800 million possible uk mobile numbers, some people have multiple numbers so ballpark 80 million active phone numbers. This gives around a 1:10 chance of picking an active number at random. If there’s actual patterns in the numbers this could be even more likely.

What’s interesting is this won’t have been a realistic sounding number.

Company lines typically start 0300 or 0800 but mobiles are 07… Something.

So if it was just hallucinating, it did so badly.

It being undemocratic is actually pretty important for the system to work.

Because only the house of commons is elected they have legitimacy and the house of lords knows that while they can resist some dumb crap, they do ultimately have to accept the decisions made there.

If you have two elected houses you end up like the US with the senate blocking everything the house of representative does.

A more representative second house with less rich people and politicial cronies would be nice though.

This actually doesn’t affect landlords because council tax is charged to people living in the house first, and only to the owner if no one is living there.

This primarily affects second home owners and short term lets, but there’s other renting reform coming as well, and this has already dropped house prices, so it’s a start.

Because demanding more nuclear power is free and feeds into the hype train.

Are they going to sign a contract committing to future energy use at a particular rate, so that we can build new power stations? Of course not, they don’t believe the AI hype that much.

But they will pretend they really need it.

How have you managed not to get fibreglass on your skin when handling it?

I used to install it professionally, and even with goggles, a mask, and overalls tucked into your socks and gloves, that shit gets everywhere.

Because Tesla is a meme stock.

It’s price has always been completely decoupled from the number cars they sell, and depends on musk constantly lying and promising fully working humanoid robots and self driving taxis by next year.

Hey guys, I’ve found JD Vance’s lemmy account!

What is a game that wouldn’t be solvable if you removed most of the pieces and positions?

I mean, yes. Any game with only a small number of possible moves can be solved with brute force trial and error.

All unsolved games must have a “sufficient amount of positions” that brute force isn’t an option, and enough complexity that there’s not a cute maths trick to solve it despite the number of moves.

Chess is one of these unsolved games.

They put that in vice city as a set of missions.

Mostly.

That’s exactly how I handle my five month baby, just with more screaming and pooping.
