Actually this one is sensible.
In the near future as more renewable energy is included in power grids the price of power will fluctuate depending on the weather.
The WiFi connection will allow you to configure your washing to be done when pricing reaches whatever point.
No, problems like "how dirty is this water" do not fall under AI. It's a pretty simple variable of the type software has been dealing with since forever.
Ah, yeah but not at the lower levels like this soldier.
I feel certain that any allegiance he expressed was to protect the well being of his family, rather than a genuine position.
Meh. I don't think anyone that matters was really fooled.
I'm incredulous.
There was that thread asking what people are using LLMs for and it pretty much came down to "softening language in emails".
For most jobs LLMs can provide a small productivity bump.
IMO if an LLM can do most of your job then you're not producing much value anyway.
Pretty much non-profit in name only. Some shady hybrid model.
The android app developed by the syncthing dev is deprecated, the fork is still fine. While the fork's dev has no plans to publish to google play, there's presently no reason to think they will discontinue supporting the fork.
I absolutely agree with point 1.
I've never really thought about point 2. I don't think I'm ready to say I don't believe in free will, but I do agree that people are largely a product of their circumstances. I think in the case of a serial killer, it might not meet your definition of "free will" but it's a person who has been methodical about the taking of life and not shown any contrition.
I would however add point 3. I don't want to take someone's life even if they deserve to die.
... and point 4 I just thought of... there's not really any good reasons for capital punishment. It's not a deterrent, and who cares about the cost of incarceration really.
As a point of reference, Lenovo Thinkpad's have something of a cult following for their reliability and versatility.
My T490s has a USB-C power supply which provides 45w (20v at 2.25a).
The thing is, when docked it's not only pulling power through that cable, but also network, USB devices, and providing video for 2x monitors in 1920x1080. It's kind of astonishing to me how much can be crammed in to one little connector. That said, it's frustrating trying to find a usb cable that works reliably, because as you'd imagine not all USB-C cables support the same specs.
Collecting passports from people away from their country is a huge “no, you don’t” thing.
Not really, in many cases it's a necessity.
That's not to say that giving your passport to your employer for safe keeping is a good idea.
Not really.
That particular comment doesn't really enter into the "why" of Russia's behavior, it's just talking about the difficulties of repairing these cables in war-like conditions.
Those conditions don't really exist presently. Russia is not "at war" with Finland and some sneaky cable cutting is not the same game as sinking merchant / civilian ships. I also feel certain that Finland would be happy to underwrite the risk to the repair company, and provide naval support while the repair was conducted.
Yeah this.
I don't keep all my photos in sync though. Only the last few months.
I'm using photoprism to browse photos on my server but I've been meaning to look at other options because it's not that great IMO.
It's obvious you know more or less all there is to know about this topic. So much so that I suspect you have trouble explaining it to laypersons like me because it's difficult for you to determine which parts of your knowledge are obvious common knowledge and which parts are specialist knowledge.
Again, it's not a great system but it's the best available.
I think the problem of "idiot jurors" is mitigated somewhat in that a unanimous verdict is required. A hung jury is a better outcome than an incorrect finding.
I disagree, subs are not born out of a need for a niche, they're created when someone wants to be a fief lord. Of every thousand or so created, only a few gather any following, and the community reflects the desires of it's users.
As I said it's fine to dislike a community, but insisting that it be run according to your view of how things ought to be run is nonsensical.
This perspective is very common in online communities about any sort of charity or non-profit.
"Don't donate money to whatever charity, they just waste the money on whatever thing"
Truthfully, it's just an excuse to assuage the guilt arising from refusing to support these organisations.
I pretty much agree with you on all points.
Anyone who works in law will tell you that justice is pretty thin to the ground.
I think you've misconstrued my position though. I'm not saying the current system is fine, merely that the role of jurors is to determine whether the defendant is guilty of the charges against them, and the role of the judge is to determine the appropriate punishment, and that this separation of duties is the best structure we have to mitigate corruption.
I'm not saying there's no corruption, merely that allowing a jury to determine whether a defendant should be punished despite their guilt is tantamount to corruption. If a jury can determine penalties then the whole court process is basically a popularity contest.
A few months ago, I would've told you that I'm holding to the belief that might doesn't make right and that no one is above the law. However, recent events have demonstrated that more than half the voting public prefer a system where the law does not apply to wealthy nor powerful people. I'm astonished, but apparently my views are not represented amongst the population generally. It seems that in the current era there is no denying that there is a class of people to whom the law does not apply.
I'm not really sure what you're getting at.
Lemmy is not reddit. It has its own history and culture. It's totally fine if you don't like it, but if you're expecting it to be like reddit then you'll just be disappointed and frustrated every time.
The history around "why does this community have the same name as a reddit sub" is obvious. At some point it was expected to be the next incarnation of whatever sub, but that's just not how things turned out for a number of reasons
A global episode of heat-related coral bleaching has grown to the largest on record, US authorities said Friday, sparking worry for the health of key marine ecosystems.
From the beginning of 2023 through October 10, 2024, "roughly 77 percent of the world's reef area has experienced bleaching-level heat stress," Derek Manzello of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) told AFP.
When ocean water is too warm—such as during heat waves which have hit areas from Florida to Australia in the past year—coral expel their algae and turn white, an effect called "bleaching" that leaves them exposed to disease and at risk of dying off.

Remains of British Mount Everest Explorer Sandy Irvine, Including His Foot, Discovered Over 100 Years After His Disappearance
The remains believed to belong to Andrew Comyn “Sandy” Irvine, who disappeared alongside George Mallory in 1924 while attempting to conquer the world’s highest peak, have likely been found. The discovery was made by a National Geographic team during the filming of a documentary, reigniting discussions about whether the duo managed to reach the summit before their deaths.

How to Promote Phishing and Scam Awareness
Just wondered how others promote threat awareness for friends, family, co-workers, and clients.
Every few weeks I email a half dozen employees & family members explaining one or other phishing attempt I've seen, just to keep it in peoples minds.
I heard someone else talking about a kind of email pen-testing service you can sign up for and they send scammy emails to see if the recipient falls for it. Seems like a great idea but only viable for me if it's very cheap.
I could link to something on privacyguides.org in my email footer but I think that's just virtue signalling more than anything actually useful.
