I mostly care about how much caffeine I get, which I understand to be the same regardless of how much ice there is. Generally, small or medium is 2 shots of espresso, and a large is 3 shots.

Correct!

“farleft” is a fine crossword answer. Equating “far left” with “extremely liberal” is pretty silly IMO though. A much better hint would’ve been “Political faction advocating for radical social change” or something like that

The clue is “Involuntarily made noise while laughing, perhaps”, so sure

One can hope 🤞

Somebody isn’t sanitizing their inputs properly. Like putting a bandaid on a heart attack

Pretty sure any decent model could easily solve that anyways. To borrow a quote about bears from the National Park Service, there’s now significant overlap between your dumbest users and the smartest AI.

Thanks!

Yeah, “flesh” is just such weird wording though. Like saying “reduces meat”

Any details about the system? Is it something off-the-shelf, or custom-made? Is it using something fancy like transformer models? I’m guessing that would be too expensive

“Reduces flesh” is such odd wording. Whose flesh? What flesh?

join-lemmy.org should really just have a “Join Lemmy” button that load balances between whatever general-purpose instances opt-in to being defaults. Then there should be a “Wait, I care about which server I join!” button that does the existing UX flow.

It should also default to not showing the weirder instances like hexbear or lemmygrad. That’s going to turn a lot of people off.

Good call, looks like I was wrong on the internet. Still weird engagement bait, but ethically sourced engagement bait

It’s a known engagement bait type of post, which use AI:

The anatomy also looks way off to me, even for unusual medical situations

I don’t use FB at all, friend sent this to me. So glad I’ve got Lemmy and the Fediverse instead of anything that supports this

The video looks like CGI or AI too. Something off about it.

Edited my comment to be more clear. I’m quoting what the company says in the screenshot to defend themselves. Nobody asked the company what they think of the open office plan, if you really cared you’d ask the employees that have to put up with it.

The company:

Nooo! We love our open concept office! ☺️

Nobody asked you. Let’s see what your employees think of it

I’m using a common definition of imperialism. If you wish to redefine it so that it can’t be applied to your favorite imperialists, you need to justify that redefinition. To me, you haven’t. Here’s Wikipedia’s definition. Whether or not you agree with it isn’t really the point, it’s a common definition and if you want to use it in a different meaning, you should make that clear upfront and/or justify the new usage:

Imperialism is maintaining or extending power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism, employing both hard power (military and economic power) and soft power (diplomatic power and cultural imperialism). Imperialism focuses on establishing or maintaining hegemony and a more or less formal empire.

I guess you could call that intentional? Intentionally doing the thing that makes sense, i.e. using the common definition, which is kind of a weird use of the word. At any rate, I’m having a conversation with you because you’ve been giving thoughtful replies, as much as we disagree with each other. This is the sort of discussion that is actually worth having. As hard as it is to talk about these things over text, I think this has actually been productive. I wouldn’t have known that you’re using a different definition of imperialism otherwise, for example. That is one of the hardest things when trying to communicate, is using the same words but talking past each other.

The article btw doesn’t just reference western think tanks. India for example, has accused China of the same behavior. Many of their neighbors have accused them of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabbage_tactics as well. I also edited the link above to point at the main article, instead of a section that links to it.

I guess as long as we can agree that the PRC is acting in its own interests. I just have less faith in humanity than you do, I guess.

They’re still imperialist, they just don’t have the power to effect it as well as they have historically:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_salami_slicing_strategy

They lost out to bigger imperialists in the 19th century. Now, they’re recovering and behaving exactly as you’d expect if they’re still imperialist, just with less power (but growing).
