Wait, if you can (or anyone else chipping in), please elaborate on something you’ve written.

When you say

That means they can engineer a solution to any problem that has already been solved millions of times already.

Hasn’t Google already made advances through its Alpha Geometry AI?? Admittedly, that’s a geometry setting which may be easier to code than other parts of Math and there isn’t yet a clear indication AI will ever be able to reach a certain level of creativity that the human mind has, but at the same time it might get there by sheer volume of attempts.

Isn’t this still engineering a solution? Sometimes even researchers reach new results by having a machine verify many cases (see the proof of the Four Color Theorem). It’s true that in the Four Color Theorem researchers narrowed down the cases to try, but maybe a similar narrowing could be done by an AI (sooner or later)?

I don’t know what I’m talking about, so I should shut up, but I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable will correct me, since I’m curious about this

You mean like Captain Picard Day?

This is very distressing, but not unexpected… Trying to silence Coffeezilla is the only endgame here, despite claims of his poor reputation being smeared by a thorough investigation

Off topic shout out: why not Chaco sandals for home and/or for going out?

It’s off topic, but OP mentioned having used sandals, so he can maybe consider them a good option

Aren’t these 0.5 seconds the moments we live for?

If you only need to look for slang expressions, that is…

I’m blue, da ba dee da ba dam…

Zatoichi approves.

Chill out RobotZap1000 (though, I suppose your alias suggests you’re a fierce robot punishing earthlings 😄)!

I was just making a joke about the fact that normally we’re constantly receiving feedback to do/not do so something and we’re never entirely free to decide on our own

I haven’t watched the video, but…

(1) If I watch it, it’s on YouTube (a form of social media) so I’ll be influenced and manipulated.

(2) If I don’t watch it, it’s because I’ve read its title on Lemmy (another form of social media), so I’ll have been influenced and manipulated anyway.

Bottom line: being influenced and manipulated is everyone’s destiny, yay!

Thanks! I actually misread the last line by OP (sorry, I read it before going to bed!).

The comparison makes sense now

I don’t mean to be argumentative, but I want to genuinely understand your comparison: Scottish English and American English are the exact same language (sure there are differences that can be assimilated to regionalisms), but Spanish and Portuguese are two different languages (they come from the same root ane grammar is similar, but not the same, the vocabulary is generally different (though similar sounding)).

When you compare Scottish English and American English, I tend to see a relationship more similar to Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese from Portugal.

Cheers, mate!

Condiment King

Ahahahah, Trogdor strikes again!

I’ve had the pleasure (?) To eat KFC in the US and in Europe. Besides the fact that it was junk food either way, the European version was just so much better.

I can believe that in its distant origins, KFC was actually tasty, but right now I’d sooner enjoy being punched in the stomach than eating there (a similar statement is true by replacing KFC with McDonald’s or Burger King or several other fast food chains, though for only these three I’ve tried both US and EU versions of these products)

Well, I’m sure you can buy delicious fried chicken elsewhere at a local joint (those people won’t block your ads)!

Wow, so now I’m curious why they didn’t do it in the previous years. I’m sure they refueled cars regularly during pitstops in the 1990’s

Wait, so now they never refuel them during pitstops?

They do the whole race just by filling the tank before the beginning of the race!?!

This was well written and makes me miss Groklaw once more

It reminds me of a fattened Batman’s tumbler
