@83dollaroring If it's electric. why not make it cabover? It'd make the front view even more visible, give more storage space, and make it easier to maneuver.

this is what REAL engineering conducted by REAL engineers to accomplish REAL missions looks like. you are just a pathetic little consoomer who has never even attempted to Fulfill Mission Requirements

@DTamm33 @BrodieOnLinux @Burgercadt That's what they argued but that's not what they were motivated by or sought to achieve. Prohibition was entirely motivated by puritanism and was a way to impose their religion/cult on non-believers, which is why they were so obsessively absolutist in it, which is why they failed
English
@Gyzome @BrodieOnLinux @Burgercadt Thats exactly what they argued during American prohibition thats it about public health! read a book or watch the oversimplified video

Let me give you a story about Australia, we have incredibly high taxes on cigarettes, we also have cancer images on the sides of boxes. What I've noticed in the past year or 2 is a near complete lack of Australian cigarette boxes on the ground, instead being replaced with imports

The UK government has agreed to ban people born after 1 January 2009 from buying cigarettes

@DylanThomasMend @KawaiiRuby_ If it doesn't end with a whimper the bang wasn't that good

@KawaiiRuby_ So thus the universe ends, not with a whimper, but a Bang.

Why doesn't Kyon just have a one night stand with Haruhi to have her have enough fun to end the endless eight time loop? Is he stupid?
English
@BrodieOnLinux @Burgercadt This time *is* different. They're not trying to combat a vice or impose morals, they're simply doing this for public health/economy. Smokers cost the state a lot of money, and banning it will reduce smokers. It doesn't need to be absolute, like prohibition was trying to be.
English
@Burgercadt But it's different this time - Literally every single person who thinks they will succeed this time

@Cbat_05 @bee_fumo @luciascarlet Gonna be honest with you. I was absolutely adamant kernel-level anticheat didn't exist for Windows 9x, but given that you posted this over 30 minutes ago, there's a good chance a furry has seen it and already has a PoC running by now.

@bee_fumo @luciascarlet lol i wonder what it does to kernel anticheat :)

@Madame_Ennui @leafsnswift If you want to sus out whether someone's European or American, mention you paid someone by sending them a cheque over WhatsApp.

@leafsnswift American banking system is def still in the mid-20th century and no one truly realizes that until they spend time abroad lol

I love how Americans act like third parties like Cash App and venmo are better than direct transfers that go right into ur bank account

normal şartlar alında az ram kullamı iyi, çok ram kullanımı kötü değildir.
ayrıca ram boşta durması için değil kullanılması için vardır.
linux ile windows'un bu tarz birbiri ile karşılaştırılması başlıbaşına saçmalık düzeyinde yanlış.
önemli olan sistemin kararlı çalışmasıdır.
elma ile armutun tadını karşılaştırıp ikisininde tadının diğerinden güzel olduğunu iddia etmek gibi.
herkes kendi ağzının tadına göre istediğini yer.
sistem kararlı ve düzgün çalıştıktan sonra isterse ram'in yüzde80'i hep kullanılsın. bunun bir önemi yok.

@_baldtires @macjshiggins There's no economy that has successfully destroyed so much of its own domestic companies' global competitiveness with regulatory overreach (not even capture) as the US. Nuclear, shipbuilding, elevators, drones, the list goes on.

@macjshiggins i wonder when regs like this are gonna shrink the european economy so small that tech companies just wont sell hardware there

Starting in 2027, smartphones sold in the European Union will be required to have user-replaceable batteries designed for greater durability and more charging cycles. Manufacturers must also provide spare parts and repair manuals for at least 10 years after a model is released. This is real pressure against planned obsolescence. It should mean phones that actually last longer, cheaper fixes, and a lot less electronic waste piling up. About time.

@ajlamesa I don't quite understand that obsession with drinkable tap water. Where I live, I can't directly drink tap water, but I've installed a filter for $30, plus $12 filter changes every 6 to 9 months.
English
You can’t even drink the tap water in Shanghai.
Jostein Hauge@haugejostein
I agree. Shanghai is the most developed megacity I’ve seen — more so than New York, Tokyo, or London. I might have to reconsider if I visit Shenzhen or Hangzhou.

@WildWiredWeasel @zenartotto3 @SakamotoIchi I have spoken with plenty of people who are only capable of repeating concepts and ideas they've heard before, with no introspection of their own. Setting aside consciousness for a moment, in which way is such a person distinct from an LLM?

@zenartotto3 @SakamotoIchi Yup.
Predictive text on steroids is still just predictive text. It's the man in the Chinese room problem.

仏教哲学など東洋哲学をある程度学んだ人が、近代西洋の哲学を学んで一番違和感を覚えるのは、やたらと「意識」にこだわるところだと思います。「私が今、夢を見ていないと証明してみせよう」などと問題設定をしますが、普通の日本人なら「そんなもの、ほっぺたつねればいいじゃないか」と思うのです（つまり身体性に落とし込むのです）。しかし西洋哲学は、「意識」だけでこれを強引に論証しようとして、日本人の感覚からすると全然論証になっていないのに、なぜか証明が成立したと豪語する。こういうパターンが多く目につきます。
ＡＩをめぐる哲学でも「意識」を非常に気にかけるのは、やはり西洋哲学特有の問題設定だな、と感じます。つまりこの「ＡＩの哲学」は、ＡＩを西洋哲学的にしか見ていないな、と思うのです。仏教哲学のように身口意で考えず、意識、意識、意識と意識だけを取り上げることが暗黙のルールになってしまっています。意識にこだわりすぎる意識を全然意識できていないのです。
西田幾多郎が「考へる自己そのもの、主観そのものが、深く反省せられなければならない。これが従来の（西洋）哲学に欠けて居るのである」と100年前に批判したのに、まだ欧米人には全然届いていないなと痛感します。
ℏεsam@Hesamation
Google DeepMind researcher argues that LLMs can never be conscious, not in 10 years or 100 years. "Expecting an algorithmic description to instantiate the quality it maps is like expecting the mathematical formula of gravity to physically exert weight."

@marcel_germann @HSTemile @samperifi @Ne_chloropterus And the Danish. Which makes it a good high-strength alternative for Europlugs where too much weight is placed on the plug for safe operation (which is unfortunately too common with many USB chargers).
English
@Gyzome @HSTemile @samperifi @Ne_chloropterus That plug shown here fits into Schuko and the French system.
English
@HSTemile @samperifi @Ne_chloropterus The Europlug is a compromise design though, meant to be compatible with multiple standards with varying pin diameters. So to give it that internationality, there must be a weight limit. The legalistic approach is to interpret 2014/35/EU more strictly for CE compliance.
English
@Gyzome @samperifi @Ne_chloropterus Class 2 devices typically have the larger heavier plugs in my experience.
English
@HSTemile @samperifi @Ne_chloropterus @Chris_OH58D Europlugs (CEE 7/16 A2) are not meant to hold weight, btw. They're designed for thin, light power cords only, the way they're used on USB chargers is in fact violating the standard. If you need holding strength, you should use a CEE 7/17 which conforms to the full socket shape.

@ManchesterF1 @HSTemile @Ne_chloropterus @Chris_OH58D # Things I forgot about
- Lack of a compact 2-prong variant (like Europlug). BS 4573 doesn't count (actually a wonderful plug that is plagued by its similarity to Europlug)
- Caltrops situation is very memed on, but a more nitpicky person could find actual fault in it
English
English
@ManchesterF1 @HSTemile @Ne_chloropterus @Chris_OH58D # THE FUSE
- Waste of materials/cost/reliability in non-ring circuits
- Additional point of failure
- No poke-yoke
- (Usually) exposed to elements, corrosion risk
- Prevents fully sealed moulded plugs
(cont'd)
English
@ManchesterF1 @HSTemile @Ne_chloropterus @Chris_OH58D # Shape:
- Space-inefficient
- Asymmetric
- Angled plugs only
- Unsafe failure mode under cable tension (no yank-out)
- Non-moulded plugs staggeringly common
- Lack of strain relief staggeringly common
(cont'd)
English
@ManchesterF1 @HSTemile @Ne_chloropterus @Chris_OH58D # Singular pro:
- Easy to orient blindly.
# Cons:
## In general:
- Only 13A rating (contrast 16A Schuko)
- Incompatible with BS546 (contrast with SN441011, AS/NZS3112)
