Anything with goldie doesn’t count, especially if it’s all goldie :). Ours ate anything we would eat plus grass, horse manure, compost, ring-pulls, socks, money, rat poison, and a football (whole). Those last two were a trip to the vet.
They seem to do more damage to themselves when falling over than actually inflicting anything on their opponent…
I’m from the north but live with southerners now. I grew up with dinner at noon (in school—dinner time, dinner-ladies).
We’ve now compromised on breakfast, lunch, tea, and on Sunday it’s a grey area between Sunday lunch and Sunday dinner depending on how much the schedule has slipped.
I’d say between 13 and 19.
They just edited out the wires. See !birdsarentreal@lemmy.world
You can easily diffuse that situation by hanging a tea towel around her shoulders like a cape and saying “look, now you’re Super Angry”
Five gallon buckets? Luxury…
Sorry to hear that. We had a problem with our solar inverter disconnecting because of over-voltage on the grid. All I could find on the generation side was a ‘general contact form’ on a website. I didn’t hold out much hope, but a couple of days later, an actual engineer called me to talk about moving the tap in the substation down, as there was so much solar generation in our area it was pushing the grid voltage up. He’d already sent someone out to check there was scope to move it and was calling to ask me to check for the next few days and to let him know. Not had any more problems since.
I’ve never been so pleasantly surprised by their level of customer service. My point is that it really depends on getting someone who (a) cares and (b) knows what they’re doing.

I’m not sure this guy is a proper doctor…
And what did you make of The End Continues?
You say that, and GAs were used decades ago to design FPGAs to a spec. The evolved design worked perfectly on the test chip, so the design was copied onto a second chip and it failed. The logic gates were identical but the GA had utilised microscopic differences in the substrate and there were large areas of programmed chip totally unconnected to the main circuit. Without them, the first chip didn’t work any more.
There are likely quantum effects available at the size / scale of neurons, and it’s brave to say evolution wouldn’t exploit them if there was some benefit.
Since yours was the first reply I came to that didn’t just ‘react’, I’d like to challenge 1 point in your list (the rest I pretty much agree with), and that is the first one. For context, I worked in AI (or ML as it was known then) in the 1990s. The models were very much based on ideas from neuroscience (my CS PhD supervisor was a biologist). Saying “they can’t think” requires a precise definition of what “thinking” is, and I’ve not seen one so far.
For sure, the most current LLMs are not what we might call human-level sentient, and have only seen a fraction of what a human baby would be exposed to in terms of training data. But as far as the way they process that data, perhaps they are “thinking” in the same way a brain would think if all it ever ‘saw’ was text. Perhaps they think in the same way an insect or small rodent thinks. And as they grow larger / more sophisticated, the same as a dog or cat? Or a small primate? You can see where that’s going.
Anyway, I enjoyed The Infinity Machine by Sebastian Mallaby. My PhD was based on the early work of Yann LeCun, and putting all those names and the motivations behind them into a full picture was eye-opening.
Not sure what happened here, but when I went to edit my comment in that other post, it opened like this and (a) only showed the first line, and (b) wouldn’t let me tap in to edit. Locking and unlocking the phone got the full comment back and I was able to edit, but still tapping to move the caret was broken.
Hope that makes sense :)
Another fabulous bit of UX by google.
I have, quite literally, seen this post 9 times now. Is there a way to automatically hide the remaining 8 once I’ve marked one of them as ‘read’? I have ‘mark read on scroll’ set, so it would need to be something dynamic rather than on refresh, and I know that can cause scroll position issues. But tbh I’d like to learn to live with that rather than see the same stuff constantly.
Just noticed a weird rendering issue when switching apps. Viewing a comment with a code block looks fine, until switching away and then back to Mlem. Heres what it ends up looking like.

I often see this ‘more replies’ button, but it doesn’t do anything other than flicker slightly when tapped—like it was going to load something and then thought better of it…
