literally put shit on egg – enshitification

I teach computer science at a uni. I would much much perfer student to ask me the question instead of LLM. I will give them a much better answer because the LLM probably learned from my published stuff, which is already super surface level, and then they will distill again.

I understand this is not feasible for larger classes, especially introduction classes. But please, if you ever move on to upper level classes and professor welcomes questions, talk to the professor, not the LLM.

I got a lot of flipboard content on mastodon, but I don’t know if that “grows” flipboard.

Why have we been talking about EU chat control for years. How many time have this been voted on? and can people just keep popping up chat control if the previous one fail?

I find the social media (piefed and mastodon) I use are busy enough to keep me entertained, not too busy to make me addictated.

BTW, it loads fine now :)

I am able to access it pretty consistently on interstellar and the web, but it is so slow it is not really a decent experience.

For me, connecting from the U.S., takes around 5 – 15mins, but I can barely vote on anything.

I remember there is a post stating that LemmyNSFW is eating up the VPS resource, and the provider throttled the VPS, which also include FediNSFW. My guess is that after LemmyNSFW is down, people are eagar to backup that instance, which created an absurd amount of traffic.

Actually, VSCodium is open source (unlike VSCode), and completely free of AI.

What about when you hang out outside on a weekend, then that is easily two meals outside.

Do you not hang out outside that long or do you go home for lunch and go back out?

For additional reference, boiling a liter of water takes just shy of 100Wh (not counting heat absorbed by kettles or heat distributed into the air): https://www.quora.com/How-many-watts-do-I-need-to-heat-1-liter-of-water

As far as I know it is still much more expensive compare to alternatives like grammar checker and web search. Especially give that model already searches the web on its own in many queries.

Just because inference is more efficient than an training, which consumes energy on the scale of nation states, doesn’t mean inference itself is econonical.

I used ddg and startpage, they are both great. Although I slightly perfer ddg, but stays with startpage because it is european.

I also turn on ads to support them. However, now I have more money but less time to scroll pass all these ads, I switched to kagi, which is ad-free and fast. The price is not cheap and they are not based in Europe (they are registered in the U.S. with employees all over the world, which is technically better than U.S. centric ddg), however there is no alternatives that I am aware of.

I think lemmynsfw is one of tge largest lemmy instance.

Not until they sue fedex

I never talked to my parent about this, but I imagine way better. My dad is one of the earlier master degree holder in China. He got his PhD much later; I believe around his 40s.

At my age, my dad is an entry level doctor and my mom an entry level nurse. They live in a room of 10 square meter assigned by the hospital they work in.

I am at the end of my 20s and is an assistant professor; a very busy job, but nevertheless stable, which is an excellent perk in this economy. The pay is not bad (not as much as industry though) and the work is really fulfilling. The only unfortunate part is that I almost always need to work overtime. It is not uncommon for me to work from waking up to going to bed, if not working into midnight.

Yeah, I have seen the animal bleed out once, and it is hard to watch.

A small and young lamb is all tied up laying on the ground with the carotid severed. It is clearly in fear and tries very hard to get away. That struggle lasted for a long time until it eventually is exhausted and died.

I am not sure if this is how halal and kosher meat are produced though.
