Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Starbucks wants you to ask ChatGPT about what coffee to get, right as America boils over with AI backlash vibesEnglish

7·10 days agoNinjas are cool, but I wonder what actual threat the Hand is against Peter.
Yes, I usually solve at least four words before I start moving pieces and try to get as many double swaps as possible.
When evolution says “no notes.”
Good job! Have fun.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Construction workers or people in business and all who is right in this scene the teacher or Rodney Dangerfield?English
7·29 days agoI am in construction (not manufacturing) and own my own business. Truth is, they are both right.
Rodney is right because there are a huge number of variables that the prof’s equation is ignoring. Also, it is generally a good idea to know what you are manufacturing and work to produce that product as efficiently as possible. The professor is sort of putting the cart before the horse by building a factory with no product.
That said, we are in a learning environment and seemingly in a lower-level class. You have to strip away real-world variables to teach the lessons at hand. The professor is right not to include corrupt politicians and mafia folk, it’s too much when you are trying to start with the basics. But he should’ve had the class decide on a product - he said it himself, it could be anything - and then build up from there.
Mafia payoffs are a 300 level course.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•A Fistful of BitchesEnglish

It would actually be an appropriate title for the episode.
I use Recipe Keeper for Android. It converts pics, text and URLs to recipes, has a shopping list function, and is a 1-time purchase after the 1st 20 recipes you store. It’s also very simple - does everything I need and nothing I don’t.
Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes, well, the bear eats you.

Political Memes@lemmy.world•SCOTUS to Trump todayEnglish
28·2 months agoFrom SCOTUSblog,
“Based on two words separated by 16 others in … IEEPA—‘regulate’ and ‘importation’—the President asserts the independent power to impose tariffs on imports from any country, of any product, at any rate, for any amount of time,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. “Those words,” he continued, “cannot bear such weight.” “IEEPA,” Roberts added, “contains no reference to tariffs or duties.” Moreover, “until now no President has read IEEPA to confer such power.”
“Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the main dissent, which was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.”

Technology@lemmy.zip•Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addictionEnglish
31·2 months agoHis argument is: 16 hours daily use is not addiction IF THAT IS THE ONLY FACTOR. He repeats it again and again. But that argument is stupid, because it ignores the other well-known and proven variables of addiction. Does this behavior have serious effects on your mental and physical health? Does it interrupt your work and play? Do you have an obsessive need to do it? The list goes on.
Who put this genius in front of a microphone?
I didn’t even know that was a possibility. That’s cool.
You don’t have to play daily to keep up the streak, you just have to get 0 stars or more (complete the puzzle). If you take a week off and come back and don’t lose, you continue the streak.
I don’t know how going back to old puzzles changes the streak.
