Naah, was just early in the morning and I didn’t caught the joke.

Except water becomes incredibly hard if being hit with too much speed. If there’s vegetation next to it and you’re at (or close to) terminal velocity you might want to land there instead. There are confirmed cases of people surviving a fall into vegetation after their parachutes didn’t open.
Natanox@discuss.tchncs.deto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Facing the Threat (artist: Jen Sorensen)English0·1 day agoA strong FDP hurts us as badly as the CDU/CSU does. They’re equally corrupt and opportunistic. Without the nazi threat they’d arguably even be worse given the conservatives at least can be convinced into neccessary investments by now, while the FDP would “privatize” their own child. However since both parties are very close to jumping into bed with nazis there really isn’t a worse one right now.
It’s important for all three of those parties to be weak if we want to tackle the big problems.
Natanox@discuss.tchncs.deto Comic Strips@lemmy.world•Facing the Threat (artist: Jen Sorensen)English0·2 days agoIn a proper democracy shit like this would lead to people voting for a party with the same values as the mayor but without the infighting. Hell, perhaps the mayor would even jump ship themself. This pressure then forces the corrupt party to either fix themselves or vanish.
In Germany we got enough parties so they can completely tank for a while for doing stupid shit, then recover organically. The Greens did that, The Left just recovered, the Libertarians… hopefully never recover. Well, except for the conservatives/right-wing 'cause old as well as pissed off people do not properly think about it anymore (conservatices just lose because old people are dying). An inherent issue with democracy you’re completely at the mercy of.
A 2-Party system simply can’t properly work.
What the hell is a “Liberty University”? Do I even want to know?
Unless you have conducted all the experiments leading to that theory yourself, which i doubt, because you don’t have particle accelerators readily available, you will have a basis of “scriptures” and “scholars” whose judgement you trust and follow.
That’s nonsense. The difference is that you can conduct all those experiments on your own, and every further experiment is based upon earlier discoveries creating a chain of rationality. Also, if something is proven to be wrong or phenomenally unlikely we adapt our worldview to those facts, not the other way around. What’s trusted is the scientific method, not individuals and what they wrote. Some scientists simply become more trustworthy as their track record for applying the scientific method is immaculate, both by making discoveries as well as happily accepting when their assumptions were wrong. A well educated and critical mind is absolutely capable to read most studies and get a general understanding of its quality (of course those about particle physics require more knowledge than those about homeopathy). Meanwhile with religious texts it’s inherently impossible to come to any sensible conclusion that isn’t derived from yourself and your own opinions and emotions.
tl;dr Science and Religion are inherently incomparable as one derives truth from systemic processes and measurable facts, while the other derives “truth” from everyone’s worldview and emotional state of individuals. There’s no inherent reason to believe the latter (some random thing about some god).
More rare than an i5-8600 and probably becomes rather rare as time moves on.
If it was this easy we wouldn’t have so many problems. Or, you know, discussions about assisted suicide in cases of untreatable and unavoidable suffering in order to respect human dignity.
Sometimes the pain is here to stay. We all get old, health is a precious privilege and the power doctor’s are wielding is unfortunately limited.
I’d still keep it. Even though it doesn’t appear to be a more rare CPU (like, a 5950X or similar). Might become worth a little bit in a few years.
Awesome, truly love to hear that. 🥰
Question out of curiosity, even though that isn’t exactly what you’re working on: Do you think the technology could eventually also be used to detect what might be referred to as “latent cancer cells”, that can’t be destroyed by the body but also didn’t grow into tumors yet due to the body fighting it?
Asking because that’s what happened to me years ago. Had high inflammatory markers for over 1.5 years with no doctors being able to tell what the heck was going on. Then one day an angry Lymphoma appeared that required 4 aggressive chemo cycles and 14 day radio to get rid off, even though it was stage 1. If AI tech could be able to detect those “latent cancer cells” (or some biomarkers caused by them) before tumors appear… that would be phenomenally awesome.
Is it Copilot? That thing began to censor stuff a while ago based on the Trump regime’s wordlist. Suddenly it stopped working when it read “trans” (even as part of “transcode” or sth), among others. I’d bet it still has some “anti-DEI” nonsense in their guidelines.
To be fair though, the features of that pen look really useful if you’re into analog note-taking.
What I heard so far was about advanced pattern recognition for scans (MRI, CT etc) to reduce oversights and in documents to detect potential patterns relevant for epidemologists (a use that’s very controversial since it requires all medical documents of citizens to be centralized and available unencrypted). Also some scientists seem to praise purpose-built machine learning technology for specialised tasks (those are not LLMs though).
And Fredrik Knudsen.
The artist forgot the constant BEEEEEEEEEEP in your ears. Or multiple beeps.

It’s more of a generational issue, really. Convincing someone who was already indoctrinated as a baby and began to “pray” as early as their arm coordination allowed it is almost cruel, really. At that point it’s reality-shattering. Let alone if your religion included any kind of body-modification, especially without anesthesia (that shit burns itself into the very fabric of your brain as a baby). In that case it’s even worse, as it’d entail the realisation that your body has been violated (some may use stronger wording).
At the end of the day what counts is that you’re a decent person, no matter your stance on religion or spirituality.
Just wanting to point out the irony of making fun of artists’ life choices… below a comic.
How are they supposed to do that, push someone out of an airplane “for scientific purposes” to see what happens?
