Television@piefed.social•Whats a TV series that went completely off the rails, became absurd and lost sight of its own original premise?

History Memes@piefed.social•It's astounding that this exact scenario happened at least four times
7·23 天前There was was a panic around disco? Huh, TIL.
I also don’t know the difference between hip-hop and rap. Separated them out to be on the safe side.
I do know the difference between house and techno and get mildly annoyed when people use either of them as umbrella terms for dance music. It’d be fair for fans of hip-hop and rap to feel the same.
In case you’re interested (and very simplified): Techno started in Detroit and was influenced by early German and French synthesiser music, plus the car factories.
House started in Chicago and was influenced by soul, gospel and disco.

Thank you, I wasn’t aware of their deep Russian ties and now won’t be buying it. I’ll edit my post to reflect that.

Personal Finance Canada@lemmy.ca•Is there a way to get cannabis vape or something that doesnt have to be smoked medically prescribed and covered
2·1 个月前The Xmax v3 Pro is a solid budget option. In NZ it’s 1/4 to 1/5 the price of a Mighty. You don’t have to use one of the Medic range if that’s what you’ve been told.
Not as good, but decent enough, is Shadowplay. It’s set in the immediate aftermath of WW2 and has a US detective trying to upskill a Berlin police unit and find his psychotic brother.
I’m in this comic and don’t like it.
You must construct additional pylons.

World News@quokk.au•Most Israelis not bothered by reports of suffering and famine in Gaza, new poll shows
8·3 个月前Nazi era Germans could at least plead ignorance of genocide. In this day and age, with access to massive amounts of information, there’s no excuse. They’ve made a deliberate decision that they’re ok with ethnic cleansing.

10·4 个月前You could put it up on ResearchGate first to get eyes across it and potentially get an endorsement. Then reach out to the endorser to get sponsored for arXiv.
The other option is to submit it for peer review. You’d need to to look up the best pathway based on your field.

56·4 个月前I’m anti-general purpose LLMs, but this is a valid use case for “ai”. There are known constraints, the model is trained on a very specific dataset, and you have have human experts in the loop for assurance.
This also isn’t new. Protein folding models have been successfully used, and validated, for a number of years.
The professor tried to warn us about robosexuals but we didn’t listen.

I do not play sports, and it shows
I especially love the feeling when you’re so fatigued from lack of sleep that you’re too tired to sleep.
Guns ‘N Roses - Welcome to the Jungle. I don’t like GNR full stop, but the radio station I used to wake up to on the alarm clock would play that song at exactly the same time everyday.
Couldn’t understand why I used to wake up angry every morning until I changed stations.
