So much that people have started making DIY stuff out of them.

Wait what… Are you saying that Ireland didn’t have a bottle returning system before? What happened to all the bottles and cans before that? Did you just throw all of that in the trash?

Many problems have early warning signs. Just train the model to notice those signs.

At least in many industrial applications, the vibration of an electric motor or an axle is a good measurement. Also, the temperature of a ball bearing can tell you a lot. That’s just the basics though, because you can also train the model to look at fancier details.

Where does Lemmy fall on this spectrum? Obviously the website part is 100% web, but I’m accessing Lemmy through a mobile app, so I don’t see any website here.

As a land of culture and sophisticated art or a land of toothless racists? Or is it both at the same time?

The Bosporus Strait is not just a waterway, it is the lifeline of civilization. It is the gateway to the East and the West, the cradle of culture and commerce, the nexus of power and prosperity. Without the Bosporus Strait, the world would be plunged into a spiral of darkness and chaos. The fate of humanity hinges on the control of this narrow strip of sea. Whoever holds the Bosporus Strait holds the keys to infinite power. The Bosporus Strait is the question and the answer, the beginning and the end, the ultimate and the absolute. All hail the Bosporus Strait!

Considering quarterly numbers in a vacuum… sounds strangely familiar. Feels like we’ve done this many times before, but we still keep on repeating the same mistakes.

You’ve taken some right steps, but there’s still s long way to go. Various industries, companies and individuals do what makes economic sense to them. Governments decide what makes sense and what doesn’t, but you can influence that by voting.

For example, many industries have used coal and gas, because it made economic sense at the time. Now that emissions trading is in place, using polluting energy sources is less and less appealing. The same sort of shift should take place in other areas as well, and politics is the way to get there. Climate change isn’t a technological problem as much as it’s a political one.

Much more exciting than just moving the decimal point when doing conversions, isn’t it. You never know if you’ve made a mistake somewhere along the way by multiplying with 14 instead of 12. So much fun.

Title suggestion: Minnie and the Invasive Kraken

That’s just how media works. Sexy titles about revolutionary new technologies attract clicks, whereas titles about tiny incremental improvements don’t.

Most likely, the incremental and practical improvements have also been documented in special magazines and journals written for battery experts. It’s just that those articles tend to stay in the bubble of the battery experts.

Meanwhile, Reddit is like: “Hold my beer.”

Occasionally I bump into a BS article that totally deserves a million downvotes. However, the comments are really good, and they deserve twice the number of upvotes. People with a PhD in the subject matter are there tearing the article into tiny shreds and wiping the floor with the resulting mush. Reading stuff like that can be entertaining and educational, so do I upvote or downvote the article? First world problems again…

Isn’t there like 99-1 rule or something like that? So the idea is the vast majority of users don’t share links, write posts, draw pictures or anything like that. Instead, they just read the posts and comments. Some of them upvote or maybe even drop a comment here and there. The action of upvoting contributes to certain ideas spreading on the internet.

I would suppose that on FB/X vast majority just read the posts and occasionally also share them. Sharing over there is about as easy as upvoting is in here, so I guess there’s plenty of that type of sharing going on.

Crafting an original post or making a post about a particular link requires little more than a single click, so I don’t think that many people actually share that way. Anyway, Lemmy is indeed a link sharing platform, but now we’re talking a second type of sharing. These things should have clearer names.

On Lemmy people don’t really share, but they might upvote stuff as long as the headline supports their personal biases, so I guess that’s reasonably similar to what’s going on in Facebook and Xitter.

Maybe those NFTs have negative value.

How about we upgrade that to a thunderdome with chainsaws?

It was a good start. Elon should pull that same stunt with all the data centers he owns.

Haven’t you heard the story about that one time when he literally unplugged a bunch of servers? He also had zero regards to the proper protocol for moving hardware like that.

I think he should seriously consider buying Meta so that we can watch it crash and burn just like Xitter. Facebook is the cancer of the internet and it deserves to go too.
