We’re much worse batteries than an actual battery and we’re exponentially more difficult to maintain.

This is a cute idea for a movie and all but it’s incredibly impractical/unsustainable. If a system required that it’s energy storage be self-replicating (for whatever reason) then you would design and fabricate that energy storage solution for that system. Not be reliant on a calorically inefficiently produced sub-system (i.e. humans).

You literally need to grow an entire human just to store energy in it. Realistically, you’re looking at overfeeding a population with as much calorically dense, yet minimally energy intensive foodstuffs just to store energy in a material that’s less performant than paraffin wax (body fat has an energy density of about 39 MJ/kg versus paraffin wax at about 42 MJ/kg). That’s not to speak of the inefficiencies of the mixture of the storage medium (human muscle is about 5 times less energy dense than fat).

We just tend to break a lot and require a lot of maintenance (feeding, cleaning, repairs, and containment).

All the advertising your institution should need is the research coming out of it.

Intermural sports are fine but if that’s mostly what your university is known for then, as the post mentions, you’re not really a university.

Bobby Fingers. Drunk Mel Gibson has quickly become a classic amongst my friends.

Probably one of the most creative and talented makers I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. Every single thing he’s done has been fucking hilarious to boot.

It’s 5 videos but if you know anything about fabrication and making or just have an appreciation for that kind of craft then you can recognize just how much fucking work, time, and money he puts into each video. He’s also a part of an intensely creative duo known as the Rubberbandits.

How often do you use "AI" to reply to your messages, if at all?

The recent chat bot advances have pretty much changed my life. I used to get anxiety by receiving mails and IMs, sometimes even from friends. I lost friendships over not replying. My main issue being that I am sometimes get completely stuck in a loop of how to formulate things in the best way to the point of just abandoning the...

If you can’t genuinely talk with me without the need for an llm then I’d say we weren’t really friends to begin with.

Man as silly as it sounds, I swear, so much of my verbiage has been expanded because of Halo games. I think in 5 the main antagonist was called The Didact and I remember looking it up.

Children are not autonomous and are beholden to another citizen for their existence. That’s a civic relationship too easy to abuse with, what I see to be, very little net benefit.

I’m in support of not taxing children, but how will you distinguish an intentional purchase made by a child vs a purchase made on behalf of someone else for the benefit of a tax-free purchase?

mriormro,

It was implicit. If you can’t deal with being called out on your rhetoric, perhaps you shouldn’t use it.

Body shaming is dumb and so is owning such a huge truck.

This is hilarious to read, my guy.

Listen, you said what you said. Own up to it and learn, or don’t and move on. But you really don’t have to sit there and dig yourself even more into the shit. You sound silly.

I’ve never understood tipping your tattoo artist. It’s like tipping your physical therapist.

You should just make your fees be exactly what you want to make.

I don’t feed my cat, I have a machine that does that

I highly recommend it; it decouples you from the food. My cat knows now that begging gets him nowhere.

That’s not to say it never happens but when it does I just meow-argue right back at him. Eventually he looks confused and gives up.

This is the one I eventually landed on for my dumb cat and it’s been great!

What time you force yourself to go to bed versus what time your body naturally falls asleep are two different things in current society.

Circadian rhythms exist and fluctuate.

mriormro,
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

The point is that we now know this to be true. Rather than try to shoehorn our biological needs in whatever spare pockets of time we can scrounge, we should focus on better adapting our society and it’s systems to our needs at all stages of life.

Your bootstraps mentality is counterproductive.

mriormro,
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

there is no time period which teenagers are more able to fall asleep

This is unequivocally false. That’s literally a part of the circadian cycle. We can more easily fall asleep at particular spans of our 24 hour cycle. These spans shift depending on our age.

Specifically concerning sleep patterns in adolescents and teenagers, see here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19546564/

Good. These are some of the most shockingly wasteful things I’ve ever encountered.

Yeah, honestly. A lot about our systems, services and infrastructure sucks but we mostly got the postal service right. It’s one of the few things I’m genuinely proud of (which is saying a lot).

It’s not perfect, and sometimes it’s hell dealing with bureaucracy no matter the alphabet organization but fuck is it wild that we can nearly guarantee postal service across our almost 10,000,000 km^2 land mass.

You understand that just shitting out images isn’t really doing your point any favors, right? Art isn’t about how fast you can make something; I’d argue that how fast it took to make a particular piece of art is the last thing anyone would care about.

But, this is the crux of all of this. You’re not creating art, you are making images. Images are a commodity all about the quick visual and so that’s how you’re engaging with these models. As though they were a throwaway commodity. There is no intent or exploration in any of these; no catharsis. It’s all just empty and devoid.

mriormro,
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

Nothing that you’ve posted, I would consider nearing an understanding of beauty. Again, it’s all vapid, non-critical, and lacking substance as well as craft. All well and good, since these are just commodity images and not art.

Well, no. That would be tomatoes. Italians (and the world) have the indigenous peoples of the Americas to thank for that.

I’m an architect and designer. I’ve tried switching to Linux on several occasions. Unfortunately you just can’t really CAD/CAM, 3d model for fabrication, or for architectural documentation in Linux. There’s also a lot of work I do with fabrication robots which further complicates matters. Finally, the creative tools on Linux are limited. It’s hard to find good software substitutes for things like after effects, InDesign, and figma. Rendering is also a pain; having to use blender as the intermediary adds a significant extra step to the process.

Also, anything having to interact with MS is a huge pain in the ass (specifically no onedrive support, which is what a lot of AEC firms have switched over to using in order to collaborate besides BIM360).
