Earth is just spinning at 15 degrees per hour.

Idk why the correct answer always attracts several down-votes on Lemmy. This is literally it... Money is useful because it can be used as payment, it can be exchanged for goods... The reason why our whole lives revolve around it is because we have shaped society to be that way... We call that capitalism.

(And with knowing the proper term for it, everyone can just look it up on Wikipedia and learn about the history and how it's all linked.)

Yes, you should ask both stupid and non-stupid questions here. Only thing, it has to be a honest question and abide by the rules... No trolling, flaming or baiting.

I downvoted this for likely being AI generated misinformation. Please tell me if this text isn't AI generated.

To the arguments: AI isn't free from bias at all. On the contrary. It'll reproduce all bias and stereotypes from the training data. This invalidates half of the arguments here.

And isn't each of these ideas something that can be handled better and more reliably by an human professional? Wouldn't a better argument for AI be something like accessibility or it's more affordable?

And the interesting question: Does therapy need a therapist who can empathize with the patient? Or will AI do? Is there a true basis without it?

Everytime I look to my left and right and the people surrounding me, I come to the conclusion that most people are nice and good. It doesn't look that way if I'm reading the news, however. I think most people are in fact good and the media coverage is skewed. But we definitely need to defend our world from the assholes. It's a constant struggle to prevail.

The Chinese internet is consored. And there is a language barrier. So you're generally not going to read a blog post or independent article 99% of the time someone gets beaten or killed there.

Also it's not focus or even within our perspective. And something not many people are interested in...

And thirdly, the US media and citizens perspective generally doesn't extend beyond their borders. When have you heard of police brutality in ANY other countries than the USA? Or whats bothering people in other countries?

I'd say drop it and accept your wife how she likes to be. It's not "nothing" but it's just outer appearance and ultimately she has to walk around with her body and be comfortable with her looks.

You two should talk. Respect each other and find something that works for the both of you. Focus on how you and her feel and what your wants and needs are. In doubt she gets to decide on her own haircut. But try to find out why it's bothering you and her so much.

Edit: And I'd agree on the couples therapy someone mentioned. This isn't a healthy situation to be in. You probably need to put in some effort if you want to keep her. Learn how to accept each other and grow past this. I'm not saying you're at fault or the one needing to change. But the underlying issue could drive you apart if it keeps growing.

Ahem, no. Science is a method to find answers with some metholody behind it. Not just any random questions and everything is the same.

(So yes, questioning science is good practice and a big part of a scientists job... Yet, you need to follow the scientific method if you do it, or you're just making (wrong) stuff up.)

I'm not sure where in the documentation they list available backends... But you can see it in the source here: https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/tree/master/libs/langchain/langchain/llms (for the Python version)

You could use something like a Huggingface endpoint, or OpenRouter if you want flexibility but something easy to use. There are services like RunPod or vast.ai which let you rent cloud GPUs by the minute and run whatever you like. These would be some of the popular services.

Edit: Here's the documentation page for the JS version: https://js.langchain.com/docs/integrations/llms/

Get a lawyer. I think it's called an "ex parte" divorce. Maybe it's not easy and there might be complications on a first hearing. But I don't think there is a country or state where you can evade law and courts just by not showing up.

Make it 63 (31?) to align with what C99 can distinguish.

Also: I really like unicode in identifiers. So if at all possible don't just have a random string of letters and numbers, make sure to include greek letters and all the funny emojis. (I just forgot which languages and compilers etc allow that.)

does dave know he's a zero?

A false police report is when you lie to the police. And give them false information.

So if someone is missing, go to the police and tell them they're missing. That's the truth. If they ask questions, answer truthfully and it'll be alright. That's what the police is for and their job.

Also: Since you're having trouble... Go to the police station in person. Somebody will be there, talk to you and explain things to you. Like what's false and what's a good report.

And then if you get new information that might be related to the case: Immediately forward that to the police! You're not an detective and neither are we. If you got that call... Tell the police. It's not a lie that you got a call. Let the proper investigator figure it out. It probably takes them 5 minutes to trace the number and figure it out. And you shouldn't overthink it or try to conclude things. Just tell them what you heard and that you don't know if it's connected or coincidence. That's the truth and it the job of the police to find out what's happening. Not your job.

And you're delaying everything by not doing it properly. Go to the police station in person. Tell them everything. Be honest and tell the truth. Let them do their job.

And don't have back and forth via email and debates on Lemmy... Go to the station and talk to one of the officers. Ask them the same questions you're asking here. Should I file a report... What if he's hiding from me... What about that phone call... Ask an officer about that. They're the police and they have the correct answers to all of your questions. They can give advise before filing a report or adding something. They have additional tools available. And they've seen situations like yours before. They probably have a standard procedure in place if somebody hides from their partner. They could tell you about it if you went there and asked them.

Because they're mostly a group of people filled with hatred. That's what's uniting them. And the other side less so, so they don't act that way.

That is kind of the problem. Everyone else is getting scammed, their data stolen and tried to be manipulated by targeted advertising, algorithms and addictive, yet unhealthy social media platforms.

I wish it were more than the nerds who cared...

German, English, a tiny bit of French since I had that in school but forgot most of it. And a bunch of computer programming languages.

With the clicking etc it sounds like a mechanical failure?! A harddrive has several disks "platter"s stacked inside and multiple heads inside. They don't necessarily all fail at the same time. Also sometimes there are just small areas affected that become inaccessible due to various reasons. They'll probably grow at some point and you're bound to loose more data. But if it's an area of several consequtive blocks, it'll show when you're accessing those. And if your partitions and data are arranged serially, the next one might be physically stored where everything is still fine.

13 word summary by me: There is a lack of research on the implications of human AI relationships.

(And your 30 words are 42.)

Maybe steal a commercial airplane and go on a joyride. Do a barrel roll like the one guy did in 2018. Then empty my bank account or somehow aquire some money to get a few escorts and hookers and whoever wants to join, have a nice dinner and spend the night together. I suppose a nice swinger club with a good buffet will also do.

Oh wow. I don't know what to say... I can see how that'd mess you up. I'm not sure if that's something a person can even cope with, without any professional help. I think all things aside (you, your relationship, other trauma from the past...) just this severe accident and the serious trauma that goes along with it is clearly enough to talk to a professional and get help to even begin processing it properly.

Some more reasoning: I think most people agree that bottling it all up isn't a healthy strategy in the long run. Maybe your husband can agree to that. And opening up to you is nice and the right thing to do, but I suppose in the end you're not an expert and don't have the means and background to provide him with tools to handle severe trauma. Talking to a professional is probably unavoidable.

And he shouldn't have a false/unhealthy pride/ego and stubbornness... People tend to treat therapy differently... But in the end he should ask himself if he'd go to a doctor if he were to break his leg. And if that's any different to this situation. He's also been in an accident, just that his main injury isn't a physical one. But still, it's an injury and there's doctors specialized on that. And not every injury heals by itself. Plus, it's not his fault he ended up in that situation (which could be a reason to think it's also his business to deal with it on his own.) Instead it was an external factor happening to him, and there's no shame in needing external help with things that are beyond our control.

I can see how that'd weigh down on your relationship. Glad you made it. And it must have been hard for you since you had to deal with it yourself and were right in the middle of it all. That's not a comfortable situation to also handle relationship issues and how other people experience grief. You needed to grieve yourself, deal with the situation, somehow make sense of it, get your life back... and that's bound to take months or years. From your text, I'd conclude you made some progress in the meantime, because you're now in a place where you're able to focus on your relationship and your desire is to also help him.

he doesn't have other people that he trusts like that, so he just doesn't open up unless it's with me [...]

I can fully empathize with that. That description also fits me very well. I don't know why, but somehow it's really really hard to open up about the real emotions, innermost fears and desires. I see how some other people can speak about their feelings, or just talk to friends and get their advise on relationship issues (which we all have.) But somehow I can't. I'm better at opening up to my partner, and I put some effort in to learn how to do it right. But still: It's hard. Some people suggest it has something to do with being a man, and the cultural expectations and stereotypes that go along with that. Some people also suggest it has to do with upbringing and if you learned that in early life... I don't have an answer to that. I've had a nice childhood, understanding and open parents and siblings. I don't have any issues with my manliness... Still I struggle to talk about my innermost feelings, even with the person I value and respect the most.

I really hope you can figure out a way. I think the analogy with going to a doctor when you're physically injured is a valid one. That's the argument on a rational level. And I'd also include the emotional level. Speaking from my perspective, difficulty to express own feelings doesn't mean you're unable to fully empathize when it's the other way around. To me it matters a lot if my partner says something is affecting her. Or she thinks I'm doing something wrong or I need to work on myself. And it's a different thing when it's about emotions than when we're arguing on a factual level. It doesn't always lead to change. Sometimes I'm unable to escape who I am, even if I wanted to. But I think the (emotional) arguments get through to me more than she thinks. Ultimately we're all humans and have our individual limitations. And our partners need to accept us including those. But you seem to at least need an explanation what's holding him back and why he wouldn't get treatment for his mental injuries. And if he sees your perspective on that.

(Maybe there are a few other tricks, depending on personality. For some people it's easier to write something down than to talk about it. If that's the issue.)
