People don’t know about the unreliability of such systems. They also don’t know how simple Tesla’s autopilot is compared to other systems.

As a person who has used OpenCV before, I would never trust a computer vision system. I maybe could trust LiDAR based systems as those can see 3 dimensionally but that’s a big “maybe”.

The weirdest part to me is that one apple engineer who died in a tesla crash. I have no idea how an engineer working in a software company could trust that thing

Oh come on most doctors still view stuff like scans on 720p VGA screens. It’s fine. High resolution imaging is important not hi res viewers.

This is like saying you need to have a 128k screen to view electron microscope images

Why would the medical field need 8k screens? They can just zoom in on a lower res display y’know? Nobody is looking at a screen with a magnifying glass

I think a possible application for 8k displays is the huge displays where the viewer is extremely close to the display. But that would still just be the same pixel density as a lower res display.

Another area I think high pixel density might be useful for is patterning. Like PCB manufacturing and other photoresist stuff. But that’s a problem already solved by much cheaper technologies

I feel shame when I go to reddit because I hate seeing “Yaaaay!!! 10 day streak!!! You are addicted woooohooooo!!!”

Oh my god they were debuggers!

It’s actually irritating to me that the sun is bombarding us with ionizing radiation

(I know, not the same intensity) but think about the amount of precautions we take before turning on a UV lamp. Or before turning on a very bright LED which you are not supposed to look directly at. Well, neither you should look directly at the sun, but you get the idea

In a perspective, sun is so radioactive it can even decay paint and plastic! It can literally cook you alive and make your skin fall in pieces. This just seems usual to us because we were born with it, people would freak the hell out if a medical procedure had the same side effects

Look, I can make a right wing campaign out of this! BAN THE SUN SAVE YOUR KIDS FROM 800T (Terahertz) RADIATION

2023 Barbie is nowhere near based, it feels like a half baked apology from Mattel, who happens to be the ones which forced unrealistic body types over women for a whole century

Honestly, not a good movie either, can’t recall rn but I feel like 25% of it was about mattel corpo propaganda.

Some of it was fun though. I liked the flashy songs

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT PROPRIETARY NOVIDYA BULLSHIT DRIVERS AAARGGGH

Is there a way to donate to the authors? Because I think pirating and then donating the money (directly) to the author is much more ethical than putting a megacorp or a publisher in between

Even better if you send it with something like Monero which doesn’t even put the bank between you and the author

I don’t think TikTok community is compatible with the idea of fediverse

TikTok exists to give you large floods of endorphins via either an algorithm trained to your interests or by giving you big numbers. And this is not exclusive to TikTok, this is just how modern “social” media works, it’s the sole reason why bluesky succeeded more than mastodon

Modern social media is mostly a hive mind of people affirming each other driven by algorithms. Fediverse on the other hand, always boils down to a old fashioned usenet style network made just so people can talk with each other. You can’t really get addicted to fedi

I wasn’t really alive during the wild west internet (im 19). I got into the net during the transition from forums to modern social media and reddit was my first social. I tried getting into facebook and instagram because everyone else was there but I just didn’t like it much.

I don’t know why but “the algorithm” is really boring for me. I only tried algorithm driven feeds on reddit (after u/spez) and on tumblr but the recommendations were always extremely “fake”. Other sorting methods like “new” or “by most active” just feel more like as if there was someone on the other side of the keyboard

Ikea email. You get the parts and assemble it yourself

Well, I think Linus Torvalds is one of the rare rich people who actually “deserves” being rich.

I think the main motive behind leftism should be stopping 8 people from owning the 50% of the world’s wealth, not to distribute Linus Torvalds’ 50 million dollars which a well deserved amount of wealth for someone who created the OS which runs the modern world.

Besides, what Linus owns is not even a droplet compared to billionaires like Bezos, Musk or Bill Gates
