on mobile? do you really wanna know?

I guess people are afraid of sending E-mails and doing phone-calls for this reason.

The fear of accidentally pasting a porn-link into an email is immense. So much that I clear my copy-clipboard regularly, just to be double-sure.

IMO Debian is already pretty far middle-ground. The packages are new enough for my personal usage.

That would be true if the world is hollow.

But we know it is not.

Yeah I think the human brain is a vehicle for “mind virus” which is script and ideas.

Are you interested in this from a philosophical perspective or from a practical perspective?

From a philosophical perspective:

It depends on what you mean by “intelligent”. People have been thinking about this for millennia and have come up with different answers. Pick your preference.

From a practical perspective:

This is where it gets interesting. I don’t think we’ll have a moment where we say “ok now the machine is intelligent”. Instead, it will just slowly and slowly take over more and more jobs, by being good at more and more tasks. And just so, in the end, it will take over a lot of human jobs. I think people don’t like to hear it due to the fear of unemployedness and such, but I think that’s a realistic outcome.

It depends on the country. There should be a local law in every country that says who can vote.

I think that’s about as controversial as saying “We should abandon industrialized meat production”.

You can embed LaTeX math formulas in Markdown with $x = y$ on many clients.

Let me try: $f(x) = \frac{1}{x}$.

Doesn’t seem to work on Lemmy. Maybe a bug/missing feature?

also, we need 20h/week, 4 days/week schools.

It’s important for you to learn to set boundaries. And to block questions that you feel are hitting “too close to home”. So don’t respond. Just tell her that you have a private life that you’d like to keep to yourself.

There’s nothing wrong with that. You just need some time and practice to stand up for yourself. :)

two conspiracy theories in one! i love that community.

Cooking rice is a notoriously hard problem (and for that reason I recommend noodles instead) but my tip is:

• Don’t (!) do the 2:1 thing where you mix 2 cups of water with 1 cup of rice. Some of the water will boil off and the ratio will be distorted, except if you close your cooking pot, in which case it begins to foam like crazy and give you something to clean up
• Do just fill a large pot with lots of water and make it boil; then when it boils add the rice and cook a certain time with the pot open. I’ve made the best rice this way.

Did you know that at lemmy, they have special discounts, where you can get two wisdoms for the price of one upvote?

Pedophiles aren’t the problem.

Rapists are the problem.

I guess the reason they won’t is to avoid the “there’s 5 different left parties” meme moment.
