Lophostemon, in What is this story Reddit is censoring?

I’d like to know too!

I wonder if it’s a story about u/spez and something horrible involving children.

TWeaK, in What is this story Reddit is censoring?

Here’s a fun country music fact: the son of Waylon Jennings is a NASHVILLE singer/songwriter named “SHOOTER Jennings”.

Nashville shooting?

Edit: yep.

For whoever sees this, the story is about the Nashville shooter’s manifesto being released. That info should get you to the story.

kaiomai, in Does Kbin have a way of putting Flares in community like Reddit has?

Flair and flare have very different meanings. You meant the former.

@SamXavia I think that's what Badges are going to be but they are not working yet.

For now I just use square brackets at the start of titles.

@livus Thank you, hopefully they get added in the future as it would be nice to see them on Kbin. Yeah I'll have to stick with [] instead then.

Johnvanjim, in What do YOU recommend if I want to start learning open source A.I.?

I'd start poking around with Stable Diffusion, it's quite fun and has a lot of potential

What potential do you see?

Merlu, in What's something that sounds made up, but is completely true?

In Vatican, there are 2,28 popes per square kilometer.

This is like asking if whether or not KBin or Lemmy will be on the same levels as Reddit/Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp/Twitter within a year.

The answer is no, not yet, it'll take time and it'll have to be one thing at a time.

Devi, in Hey kbin! Have you ever driven a fast car, and I mean a really fast car. What’s it like?

I drove a sports car, it was super easy to speed in that car cause you had no real sign you were going too fast. The standard cars you feel they're working a bit harder, there's a bit of noise, a little rumble, you feel like the car is working. But this one I accidentally went 100mph cause the road was clear and I genuinely just thought I was doing 70.

As far as driving, I think to get those 0-60 in 0.2 seconds speeds you'd need to really slam the accelerator, driving normally it's very smooth but controllable. I don't know if that's different in an automatic, I was in a manual. I never felt it was getting away from me or whatever, but when I wanted to overtake it was super easy, you can do overtakes that you wouldn't normally attempt cause you could just pop in front very quickly.

Zak8022, in Hey kbin! Have you ever driven a fast car, and I mean a really fast car. What’s it like?

I haven’t driven anything quite that fast. But in my experiences the gas pedal is just more sensitive. I’ve never experienced one that has any noticeably longer travel. In terms of co trolling it around town, that’s why you have different gears. Especially since a good portion of cars are automatic/semi-automatic/dual clutch systems that do the work for you. And when some of these systems have more than 5 or 6 gears like normal cars.

Maybe check fast.ai out?

guyrocket,
@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

Sure. Why do you like fast.ai?

pragmakist,
@pragmakist@kbin.social avatar

Reasonable presentation, not that difficult to follow.

Free

But I would point out that I haven't tried any of that other options to learn AI, so can't really compare.

@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works avatar

I would rather see each service mature separately and focus serving its purpose well. kbin needs enough work as it is without trying to take on even more project scope. And how many users really want or need a combined Mastodon/Lemmy/PeerTube/Pixelfed/Misskey/whatever site?

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@kbin.run avatar

@kersploosh Kbin's development seems to be slow due to the creators IRL issues as of the moment what is understandable, I know there is a team of people working on Mbin a fork of Kbin I was more wondering if they where hoping to create it into something like that or at least allow us to view things like Videos from PeerTube as that at minimum would just allow an easy "Hey This person Uploaded" without having to be on your PeerTube Instance.

I would love to see this as well, seeing as how Microblogs prosper! Please, add your ticket to https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues - it's a recent fork of Kbin that's governed by a community.

Also, account for possible scope creep and try finding a solution in what Mbin already has to provide with extra steps. For example, test whether the video you post on PeerTube with one of the tags featured on a magazine does actually appear on Mbin. It most likely does not... unless you try following the PT account from Mbin? Do media previews work on these posts? We could really use some help understanding this model and possibly make a fun multimedia experience that would outgrow plain text.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@kbin.run avatar

@vintprox Thank you for the suggestion, been using Mbin for the past couple of days and have been loving it. Sadly I'm not really good with code so can't help with any of the implications of PeerTube stuff but I will see how it reacts to Mbin and if it embeds into mbin instead of just redirecting you straight off the site.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@kbin.run avatar

@vintprox Also just added it as a requested feature on the Mbin Github, thank you for suggesting that.

It would be really cool to see a all in one platform for all your Fediverse

Would it? When one software tries to do too many things, it usually sucks.

SamXavia,
@SamXavia@kbin.run avatar

@rikudou Just would be cool to see someone attempt to at least make a platform where you can see a good portion of the fediverse including videos as PeerTube doesn't seem to be quite there with how it functions atm.

bradboimler, in What's something that sounds made up, but is completely true?
@bradboimler@kbin.social avatar

0.999... (infinite nines) and 1 are equal. They are two representations of the same number, like 0.5 and 1/2 (one half) are.

DrYes,
@DrYes@kbin.social avatar

While it's easy to prove rigorously I think the easiest way to think about it is to think what number/numbers could go between 0.9 repeating and 1.
I guess that it also requires a second thought experiment that if no numbers can go between two numbers, those two numbers must be the same.

edit: this might be even easier:

1/3 = 0.333... -> multiply both sides by 3
3/3 = 0.999...
1 = 0.999...
