Man, one more year, then my ThinkPad T25 will be 10 years old. It’s still my workhorse that I use every day, and you can pry it from my cold, dead hands when I die.

English is basically three languages stacked on top of each other wearing a trench coat

German, so like VOO.

Us Germans also use this word, but where I come from, we pronounce it RANG-deh-WUH.

Beautiful.

See me after class

Tbf, I’ve been using sudo rm -rf /* for years, and it has made every computer problem I’ve ever had go away. Very effective.

No IGNISU

I’m reading this in Ralph Wiggum’s voice, like the car version of “my cats breath smells like cat food!”.

Also relative to (not around) the sun. The full rotation the earth does in a day is relative to the position of the sun. The absolute amount of rotation is different.

Or maybe a stew that induces visual deprivation for a time period of 1 full rotation of the earth relative to the sun?

Would be funny if the AI was also burning computational resources while doing this so as to make the lie more convincing.

In terms of pure, artificial language generation, this is actually impressive. In terms of the actual utility of AI as a supposed problem-solving tool? Not so much.

Based on the overall frequency of people from Southeast Asia vs. the US on Lemmy, my guess is still going to be “US” when people tell me about 3+ lanes on municipal roads, even though I am of course aware that such roads exist in other countries (including my own).

I think this is also a psychological effect. Back in gym class, our teachers used to tell us that slower runners should pair up with fast runners for the 100m dash, because running behind someone pushes you to run faster. The same happens in traffic, where simply driving behind another car makes some drivers want to overtake it, even if they’re not actually going faster. I also observe this effect when I cycle to work and feel the same urge when I’m behind someone else, until I remind myself that, sure I can push myself briefly to go faster, but do I actually want to maintain that speed afterwards? My usual answer is “no”.

I also find them really helpful for falling asleep. Sometimes when I feel stressed and see mostly noise, I’ll try to spot the color shapes and focus on them. It’s kind of meditative and helps me fall asleep faster.

This is just the result of neurons firing and chemical reactions taking place, and it’s normal. Personally, for me it depends on my state of mind when I try to sleep. When agitated, I see noise like in your picture. When calm, I see flat, colorful shapes with soft edges that float around and change shape more or less rapidly (kind of like a lava lamp).

The lies of Big Wire have shackled users for too long!

Why go through the trouble to avoid sugar, when I can just shoot some insulin twice a day and have my leg amputated at age 45? /s

Even with affordable health care, which is the norm outside the US, you would still want to eat healthy and exercise.
