Almost all of the American ones I've heard of are terrifying.
  • True. Can we get it to 420 since we overshot 69?

  • I wanted to upvote this, but the score was too nice to change it...

  • Science is pushing the bounds of human knowledge. Science is only science if it propagates, otherwise it's just someone's discovery. Science has to be built upon, even if it's disproven, that means it was documented well enough to be built upon. That's not to say everything that's disproven is science, because crackpot theories don't often push the bounds of human knowledge.

    I hope the brilliant students get their knowledge out there. (But that is unfortunately hard in academia. Despite us living in what should be a post knowledge scarcity society, we clearly aren't.)

  • This is why the machine learning community will go through ArXiv for pretty much everything. We value open and honest communication and abhor knowledge being locked down. This is why he views things this way. Because he's involved in a community that values real science.

    ArXiv is free and all modern science should be open. There were reasons for publications in the past, since knowledge dissemination was hard, and they facilitated it. Now the publications just gatekeep.

  • He came with receipts
  • This is a fair question. But also, we're talking about one of the most influential minds in deep learning. If anything he's selling himself short. He's definitely not first author on most of them, but I would give all my limbs to work in his lab.

  • Where do I find game demakes?
  • Autoincorrect.

  • Autism
  • I've noticed a lot of things that are considered autistic in the states specifically may be normal practice in various cultures, having worked with people in Germany, and from a large swath of Asia.

    It interests me a bit, but I think the takeaway is that autism tends to manifest in a number of quirks, and the ones that don't align with the current culture the autistic person is in are the ones that are paid attention to. That and there tends to be a bit more obsession over said quirks than in those cultures, sometimes to the detriment of the autistic person or their social life.

  • This feels appropriate to be posted on my birthday.

  • Raw milk fans plan to drink up as experts warn of high levels of H5N1 virus
  • Good luck. Don't catch covid again if you can help it. Repeated exposure makes it worse. Pretty sure that's where I'm at. At least I've been up to date with vaccines or it could have been much worse, likely.

  • Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was
  • I can tell you haven't dealt with drama before. If I'm wrong, please forgive me. Everyone has to deal with it differently, please be a little more patient. Maybe they could have worded it more carefully, but I don't think they deserved this escalation.

    This is a problem we need to deal with in society. You acknowledged that yourself. This almost comes across as victim blaming, but definitely comes across as straw manning.

  • Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was
  • For many things, yes. I used to want to adopt kids, but I don't think I can deal with the public perception of being a male(-ish) person caring for children anymore, having heard so many rough stories from close friends, who at least have a wife to yell at sexists. Having a less traditional partnership won't win any positive counts in the public eye, no matter how good of parents we might be.

    There are quite a few stories of the same ostracizing for females (regarding SA), just less public attention on the stories for males who go through similar problems. All in all it's fucked and we need people to take this seriously. I see the stand that this is making everyone defensive, but at the same time it is at least calling up the issue and maybe after people calm down, more people might acknowledge it? Yeah. I am too naive. Or wishful.

  • Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was
  • Yeah. Definitely fair on the probably not pure intentions part as well, but I'm frequently too quick to give the benefit of the doubt, even after all this time.

    I'm sorry if this conversation is rough for you.

  • Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was
  • You have a fair point, but that doesn't make the original point less important. You are on the statistically safer side of the coin, but NO one should be treated this way.

    Historically, rape victims on both sides have been ignored, blamed, and chastised. This needs to change. We need to have better treatment and justice for SA victims. Gender or sex shouldn't come into the picture for how the situation is handled.

    I get why you're mad at this, and I do not want to talk about details of my life, but I get why you're mad at this for personal reasons. I just think it's slightly misdirected. I wish people would take you seriously, again, for personal reasons. I hope you find support and safety.

  • Change your Steam review
  • Sony would have won that legal battle and AH would cease to exist.

    The devs could move elsewhere, but backing for people who fought capitalism and lost is less favorable than you think. We probably would never get another Magicka. And definitely would never get another Helldivers, let alone Helldivers 2.

    I'm all for overthrowing the system, but AH doesn't have the sway to do anything but hope they can continue making fun games. And I hope they do. That gives them more sway, one game at a time.

  • Change your Steam review
  • They still need to go through Sony to get it onto the PS5. And Sony's forced weird things before. It's why there was an exclusive character for each console during Soul Calibur 2 days, Sony forced exclusive content in a game they didn't publish in order to have that game on their console. There are plenty of other examples from that time, but I didn't own a Sony system back then, so I can't remember any off the top of my head.

    Sony has final say on anything that goes into their console's library, but they mostly mess with directly published games these days.

  • Noticed this while talking with a couple of friends
  • Yeah, U.S. pavement. A U.K. pavement princess would be a Mustang. They sure don't like to stay on the road when trying to burn out.

  • legs to die for
  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverfish are also pests. They eat books.

  • If we can ban trans medical procedures, why haven't we banned circumcision?
  • There are times where intersex babies need surgery to prevent complications. For anything else, let them wait until they can decide. Agreed 100%.

  • If we can ban trans medical procedures, why haven't we banned circumcision?
  • In America, it appears to have started being in vogue during WWII as a way for single moms whose husband is overseas to have less to take care of. After a bit of coercion, my parents admitted the hospital did it without even their consent. That does sound a lot like [insert birth state here] in the [insert birth decade here] so I didn't question it.
