Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The events at hogwarts were just an escalating series of magical school shootings 🤔
16·5 days agoYou should check out Mashle, it’s basically a parody of your typical “magic school” anime where the main character can’t use magic and literally just out muscles everyone.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Flying cars take off in China as state backs low-altitude air travel
2·6 days agoI wasn’t saying it couldn’t be done, I was saying drones as vehicles doesn’t seem viable (economically or for safety reasons).
Also, when you put in bigger batteries you increase the weight, thus increasing the amount of power you need to fly the drone. If these ventures say their drones get 20-30 minutes of flight I would assume that’s got to be around the current sweet spot.
You’re idea for making it more bike-like might be able to help with flight time (if drag doesn’t become a larger problem), but I don’t think commercially anyone is going to want to fly unprotected from wind and the elements.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Flying cars take off in China as state backs low-altitude air travel
4·6 days agoYeah, that’s what’s shown in the video, basically a large six propeller drone. The big issues seem to be safety, flight time (battery lasts 20-30 minutes), and air space regulation.
Personally, I don’t think drones are there yet and may never be. The range is probably always going to be limited due to energy density and at that point mass transit (like trains) will always be the better/safer option. Even if you can solve the energy issue I think you still run into safety issues including high wind scenarios.

World News@lemmy.world•China to hike tax on condoms in attempt to boost falling birth rateEnglish
9·10 days agoI’m not even sure that comment really rises to the level of a counter arguement.
People have been around a lot longer than atomic bombs.

I had someone swear to me that Github templating was better, but I’ve only worked with Gitlabs templates. Why do you like Gitlab over Github?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the oldest video game you still find yourself playing?
5·17 days agoRobotron 2084 - there is a place by me that still has the arcade cabinet.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•HDMI Forum is unwilling to disclose the 2.1 specification for open-source (Linux): according to AMD, they had submitted a functional, HDMI 2.1-compatible driver [for linux?], which the Forum rejected.
6·18 days agoI mean, you also had pretty low quality TV and home media, anything beyond 32 inches wasn’t doing much good for you.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What programming language would you recommend for teaching to non-technical people that use a variety of different OSes?
2·19 days agoUse Google Collab or another web hosted platform. If you’re unfamiliar Google Collab is a part of Google docs that you can run Jupyter Notebooks on (and it’s free). This avoids the need for anyone to install anything and means you can test materials in the same environment everyone will run against.
Additionally, Jupyter notebooks makes it easy to add markdown, so instructions can be in stylized format and the students can run the cells over and over again to see how the output changes in real time.
Lastly, I would lean towards python, but there are many different languages supported in Google Collab and similar web hosted tools.

Television@piefed.social•Netflix CEO says that DC will make more projects like The Penguin moving forward
6·22 days agoGod, I don’t need every franchise to have eight TV shows with 1-2 seasons and movies that loosely tie into the TV shows.
I suspect most people aren’t buying it as a daily driver, but as a gaming device. I don’t use my steamdeck for computing (although toyed with the idea) for example.
Yeah, that’s what I was trying to get across. Either you have to do a lot of research or youre doing a “pre-built” configuration. At that point what Valve is offering is at least equal to other pre-built concepts.
I feel like the biggest thing everyone always overlooks is the amount of researchyou need to do to build a PC. Understanding what motherboard, ram, cpu, and gpu will let you play the games you want is not very clear, especially now we have AMD making good cpus and Intel making Gpus.
The naming conventions are all over the place and the specs on what’s best and what’s compatible is opaque at times.
Building the PC is easy, but making sure you didn’t waste your money by buying a motherboard that won’t work on the next generation of chips or you misunderstood the 10+ gpu models distributed by multiple different distributors is also easy.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We turn the HVAC "up" whether we want it colder or warmer.
1·25 days agoI mean, it kinda depends on your mental model. If you think the AC is “low” as in not running a lot you can turn it “up” so it’s making things colder.
Theyve been rolling out intellisense for the terminal in Vscode, it’s completely breaking tab complete for me.

Technology@lemmy.world•[Opinion] AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articlesEnglish
7·26 days agoAll of them. If you’re seeing sources cited, it means it’s a RAG (LLM with extra bits). The extra bits make a big difference as it means the response is limited to a select few points of reference and isn’t comparing all known knowledge on a subject matter.



If you read the articles on this it sounds more like the US told Nigeria it was going to bomb people and to just deal with it. Even Nigerias response to the bombing does not strongly indicate they requested the US to act.
Edit: Fixed spelling.
