chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto History@mander.xyz•Ancient people took wallabies to Indonesian islands in canoes4·11 days agoEven back then humanity messed with mother nature’s design. I find it fascinating how much of a “fuck you” we are to nature’s natural order. I think the only animal that comes even close is the beaver, and their behavior seems to actually be a part of their ecosystem
chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Electronics@discuss.tchncs.de•Old laptop died 🥲English3·17 days agoThe beep multimeters make when in continuity mode. It is a way to test that 2 points are electrically connected with little/no resistance. If they are connected the multimeter will emit a continuous beep. If there is no beep than either the points aren’t connected or there is a resistor or something else preventing the connection. The amount is resistance required to prevent a connection (measured in ohms) tends to be possible to set on the multimeter.

chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•ChatGPT Has Already Polluted the Internet So Badly That It's Hobbling Future AI Development1·18 days agoPlus side of actual useful application of LLM/AI is the data is usually a small subset of data, and it would have to be tested anyways since it would have to be used in the real world. I think the main use of LLM/AI in mainstream is using it on small datasets like that instead of the race for the holy grail of “General” AI.
chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I've gotta look for players soon and I am W O R R I E D1·18 days agoWhy not make a group with the good players?
chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•I've gotta look for players soon and I am W O R R I E D4·18 days agoOn top of that board game shops tend to do game nights, and probably have a system for putting together groups.
chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Increasing levels of depression in Western populations over the last 50 years correlates with widespread adoption of UV blocking sun creams that inhibit vitamin D production in the skin.3·19 days agoIt’s almost like there’s more acceptance that mental health is real health, but no it’s the evil checks notes sunscreen that’s making me sad. Not the existential nightmare that life currently is, not the constant feed of negative news that’s coming from the computer that is basically another appendage. Correlation != Causation. Could it be a contributing factor? Yeah probably, feeling the sun on your face does lift my mood, but I can point to countless other causes that are way more relevant. If you really want to figure out the causes, go see a therapist, they’re great at helping out your feelings into words you can actually act upon. When if you don’t have anything you’re trying to figure out about yourself, go see a therapist, it’s like getting a yearly physical just check in to make sure there’s nothing wrong.
chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto Android@lemdro.id•Google’s Advanced Protection Arrives on Android: Should You Use It?English3·19 days agoStill better than nothing. Not sure how I feel trusting Google to keep my data secure, but on its face I think it’s a good thing. It should be used in conjunction with other good opsec practices, but having tools available to more people is a good thing. This assumes that it actually does what it says it does on the tin.
chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto District of Columbia@lemmy.world•Would you support joining Maryland if these things were guaranteed?English3·24 days agoWhy not just make DC a state at that point? I feel having the ability to just ignore the laws of the state would be a non-starter for any state that DC would join.
chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto All Things Tom Scott@lemmy.zip•I'm not back yet, but I'm looking where to go next - Tom ScottEnglish12·24 days agoGood that he is planning on not chasing the dragon of continual growth. I feel that there are benefits to higher production quality and what not, but there is a point where you should roughly stick with it once you’re happy with it.
Fuck that hits my emotions really hard. Always love a good piece that achieves a lot with so little.
chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Some of you guys don't seem to be posting before you leave.English14·29 days agoDoes it count as visiting if it shows up on my main feed? (I am ignoring the fact I have to visit to leave this comment).
If I had a nickel for every time I described something I did in programming as black magic, then I wouldn’t need to program ever again.
Right? This is why the yellow fellow deserves to be skinned alive.
Well maybe his ordering goes Robertson > Torx > Allen. We need to schedule an interview with this man to figure out this critical info.
chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto privacy@lemmy.ca•What is it with websites restricting passwords to 8 - 16 characters? Is there some technical limitation to their system??5·1 month agoYeah that’s cause they’re using ancient systems that probably store the password in plaintext. If you absolutely must use it make sure that password is only used on that specific site. I would strongly recommend looking for other ways before you do though.
chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto cats@lemmy.world•He learnt how to open his biscuits box, caught him mid raid.11·1 month agoWell you know for sure you have a cat
I think you have summed up why I don’t like these posts. I get why they’re popular, but being a person in the field of programming I understand the principle of garbage in garbage out. I think I just needed a place to vent a bit with my frustrations of AI for a bit.
chickenf622@sh.itjust.worksto cats@lemmy.world•He learnt how to open his biscuits box, caught him mid raid.16·1 month agoWould keep going unless you stopped him, no shame? Is this my oldest cat with different fur?
Did you try throwing it in the oven at it’s highest possible temperature? Gotta reflow that solder and the board will magically come back together in one piece!
