Honestly, listening to audio books during chores actually did help me!

Reddit? The site with a search so bad, I had to use external search engines? Great idea.

Also, Reddit offers their own AI Q&A? The site that prominently poisend many Google AI summaries? What are they even smoking at this point?

That’s depressing as fuck.

So… he thinks his syllables are ‘Chri’ and ‘s’?

Assuming the choice is never exercised, couples produce the same amount of children with the same gender distribution regardless of surname and these children are all just as likely to find a partner, in theory, the distribution of surnames should be in equilibrium. Of course ignoring name changes, migration and other things playing into the availability of surnames.

Following this logic, these 5% of couples using the maiden name of the bride are the ones actually leading to any kind of long term change. Which to me implies Sato can only be the surname of a majority if the majority wants it to happen.

Maybe I missed something, but he seems to be using the same math as the guy who projected his baby would gain a weight of a trillion pounds if the rate of increase remains constant.

Not only that, it kinda implies that everyone wants to be a Sato, otherwise they could chose the other surname upon marriage. Which people would most likely do if it is too common. Given this assumption, the option to keep your maiden name wouldn’t help (but should still be there).

Currently about 4.7 tonnes per year is the global average, for americans I found a figure of about 16 tonnes per year. But the second number is probably a few years old.

The average billionaire was estimated at about 8,194 tonnes per year. Or 512 americans. It sucks, but remember that there are way more than 512 americans per billionaire. We all need to change, it’s just more extreme of a change the more money you have.

Same with companies. Instead of both sides shifting blame to each other, companies and consumers have to change.

Half of them fly, that’s pretty impressive.

Yes, they do. And while I don’t get it on here either, at least they don’t line the pockets of some shitty company. Some moderation is necessary, and I guess I should be happy about other people doing it for free here.

That honestly says way more about mods than it does about Reddit. Of course you’re not gonna pay for a task people are lining up to do for free, no matter how much they themselves make.

Haskell? Curry? Maybe even Brooks.

I like these, but their removal kind of makes sense. You’d be hard-pressed to find many modern homes which are not primarily black, white or wood coloured. They just don’t fit in there anymore. Even children’s rooms kind of lost their colour over the past decades.

Of course, they should at least still make handhelds with these designs.

You know, I always thought money would make me happy. But he seems so much more insecure and miserable than I ever was.

It’s a command line tool. If you don’t know how to install it despite having the instructions, you don’t know how to use it too.

I feel like the hype already died down quite some time ago. I know a few people who made an account, but this is the first time I heard the site mentioned this year. Same with Threads.

Not with the stuff we currently have.

Image generation is neat. But now there are so many badly generated images out there that any new model likely feeds on shitty data. Also the whole copyright debate for the images used.

LLM are neat. But there is no point in widespread adoption. Any model that is built to generate correct sentences but not correct content kind of wastes a lot of time for the user and nothing else. They are inpressive, they can be fun and sometimes they are really helpful - but you never know whether or not they hallucinate any given information.

Voice and Avatar generation is neat. Like genuinely neat. But you rgey are so easy to use already, you don’t nees that many specialists.

Sure. Each gram means death and since death is a negative, they cancel each other out!

(Don’t try it though.)

Wacom of all companies promoting their drawing tablets with AI got to be one of the most tone deaf marketing campaigns done with AI yet.

Oh yeah. Innovation from Spotify. Like their great recent one, copying TikTok for a few weeks.

Kinda suprised by this. I usually don’t use twitch, but last time I was there practically all streams in the largest category were korean. Typically, tech firms don’t mind red numbers as long as their user base is enormous.
