When someone makes a crude joke on the internet
  • I'll make the analogy more clear to you. In 1984 the government got absolute information control, thats what you guys are worried about. In Fahrenheit 451 people themselves censored everything that offended anyone, eventually leading to all the books being burnt.

    People have opinions, and lemmy is becoming a worse echochamber than reddit.

  • When someone makes a crude joke on the internet
  • How about just deal with it? Internet is meant to be free space, that includes racists, bigots, rednecks, people you disagree with.

    Lemmy is worried about 1984 but in actuality is becoming Fahrenheit 451.

  • Oppenheimer review I saw on my walk today.
  • I hate the fucking movie. Everyone is pretending for it to be a masterpiece but in reality its fucking boring. 95% of the movie is just dialog. They didn't even properly show how the bomb was built or the problems they encountered. But for some reason I should give a shit about his ex wife and his current alcoholic wife. Boring movie and I will never watch it again, a waste of time.

  • First room temperature and pressure superconductor discovered
  • 127c is the maximum operating temperature. If it goes above that, it looses superconductivity.

    This material below 127c (which is insanely hot for superconductors) will be superconductive.

    Operating range is -273c to 127c

    Over just a few months, ChatGPT went from correctly answering a simple math problem 98% of the time to just 2%, study finds. Researchers found wild fluctuations—called drift—in the technology’s abi...
  • It seems rather suspicious how much ChatGPT has deteorated. Like with all software, they can roll back the previous, better versions of it, right? Here is my list of what I personally think is happening:

    1. They are doing it on purpose to maximise profits from upcoming releases of ChatGPT.
    2. They realized that the required computational power is too immense and trying to make it more efficient at the cost of being accurate.
    3. They got actually scared of it's capabilities and decided to backtrack in order to make proper evaluations of the impact it can make.
    4. All of the above
  • Do babies have memory?

    Unsure if babies can form memories ages 1-2, my oldest memory is from around age 3. They do learn words when they are around 1 year old, so there must be some capacity for memory? What is going on there?

    Is it me or do images on lemmy.world appear highly compressed?

    Images look blocky on my phone while using liftoff, I am unsure if everyone else is experiencing something similar

    If you ask someone "why?" enough about a subject you don't agree on, eventually both of you will come to a conclusion

    Many hold strong beliefs and opinions, however not many know the roots of their belief. If a person agrees to explore it, both of you will learn something new and fascinating. The problem is finding someone who wants to think and ask the questions. This goes for both. Many want to "convince" someone, but how much do you truly know about the thing you're trying to prove?

    This also comes back to the "why?" game so many kids play. Parents get annoyed by it, but are they really annoyed at the game or their lack of knowledge depth? Play the game, find out how deep you lake of knowledge goes

    Peertube integration with Lemmy?

    I was wondering about the future of Lemmy and content that is hosted here. As I understand, Lemmy support for videos is limited as of right now. Why not use Peertube to host the videos people upload on Lemmy?

    Both Lemmy and Peertube use ActivityPub and by having Lemmy content on Peertube we would have an actual competitor to youtube

    Can you guys shut up about Reddit?

    I know this is on everyones minds, but talking the same shit over and over again isn't going to make new users stay on Lemmy.

    Is water denser at the bottom of the ocean?

    The deeper you go, the more water above you is pressing down on you. Does this increase water density the deeper you go?
