To be clear, “right to compute” is the buzzwordy phrase that AI datacenter operators have come up with to explain why they need your town’s water and electricity supplies, and should not be stopped from taking them. It has nothing to do with rights for actual human people.

Through the first section I thought it was a real user who had had a bad experience or maybe started out on the wrong instance. By the 3rd it was pretty funny tho.

Either that link is wrong or this is the least satisfying rickroll ever.

Key takeaways

• U.S. children and teens were nearly twice as likely to die as their peers in 18 other high-income countries between 2007 and 2022, researchers found.
• Among 3- to 17-year-olds, the prevalence of chronic conditions increased from 39.9% to 45.7% in pediatric health systems.
• Childhood obesity increased from 17.0% to 20.9%.

If you’re gonna include lyrics from a Bo Burnham song you need to include the best ones:

Good girl

In a straw hat

With her arms out

In a corn field

(spoken) That is a scarecrow

I started arguing about some of these in my head before noticing the labels.

This is only really true if there will never be a need to really learn the code base — which maybe will be true for most devs, it’s hard to tell. But if not it could leave the majority of juniors with a much shallower understanding of the way things work under the hood.

“The Gobbler” is a post-Thanksgiving tradition in my family. Get out the ancient, heavy panini press that is probably 80 years old (I could do a core sample of the accumulated grease and count the rings I guess). As you might assume it contains all of the thanksgiving leftovers. This year my sandwich had a bigass brioche bun between which was crammed:

• turkey
• stuffing
• cranberry sauce
• green beans
• sweet potatoes
• swiss and Gouda cheeses
• chipotle mayo

Add a little butter on the outside and gingerly apply pressure so it doesn’t come apart. After a few minutes you have a several-inch-thick slab of deliciousness.

I should have taken a photo because it was a thing of beauty. Maybe next year.

Probably somebody’s irony meter giving up the ghost.

If I/O speed is important the challenge will be getting lots of nvme slots in a small form factor. Many atx motherboards have bifurcated pci-e slots that can be converted to manage 2 nvme drives at once (in addition to on-board nvme slots) but I don’t know if matx boards do that, so if you wanted 3+ drives that would be the first thing to consider. If you just want a bunch of sata ssds there are more options, but all considerably slower.

It’s like click-edging.

Where I am paper goods are so expensive at the grocery store that they alone almost pay for the full price of membership over the year (and maybe they even do now, I haven’t calculated in a few years). Its gas prices are also usually $0.60/gal less than nearby places (and it’s on one of my regular routes) so in my case it’s a no-brainer.

Those things are dinosaurs.

Yep, I didn’t know if those were reliable tho or if YouTube had started inserting algorithmic content into playlists yet. And critically, when a playlist ends it should end, not roll right in to other “related” content. And of you’re it’s YouTube-only, so there would be no way to l a playlist that contained other sources.

I’m only hearing upsides here.

Yes, I was thinking something YouTube (or long-form media) specific with the purpose of replacing the YouTube algorithm. So for example maybe someone who loves astronomy puts together a playlist about supernovas that include a video from pbs spacetime, Sabine Hossenfelder and kursgesagt. Then he puts together other playlists. Over time you’d recognize this curator’s name and trust them not to point you to garbage.

Maybe it’s time for the return of curated lists. Back in the day (even before the web) there used to be people who organized lists of videos to rent, books to read, etc. why not bring it back in a lemmy channel or some other trusted service. Just curated lists of specific videos.

😢

In south Florida you can literally stick a pineapple top in the ground, wait 5-7 years and get pineapples like this. They’re bromeliads so when not making a fruit they’ll make a new cane/stalk thing and grow out that way.

Damn. TIL.
