Malum in se refers to acts that are crimes because they are inherently morally wrong.

Malum prohibitum refers to acts that are crimes only because they have been forbidden under the law.

For the malum prohibitum category, you better believe that most of us are avoiding those acts mostly out of a cost benefit analysis of getting punished for it.

Which acts are truly immoral in themselves, though, depends on context and personal moral system.

His barks are the equivalent of the barks of a actual dog in Cantonese speaking regions.

“Albanian Transporter” would be a pretty sick nickname of an assassin whose movements seem to defy the laws of physics.

Chicago even gets excited about their Chicagohenge twice a year.

That’s why it’s really important to have enough windshield washer fluid (rated down to whatever cold temperature you might encounter). Just gotta run that once every few minutes.

Plus evolutionary history shows plenty of examples of animals switching from pure carnivore to pure herbivore to omnivores in between, and back the other direction. All birds are descended from a common carnivorous ancestor, but plenty of birds today subsist mostly on seeds or fruit.

If there is a lot of available biomass to be eaten, nature will find a way and some animal is going to fill that niche. Many of the folivores (herbivores specializing in digesting leaves) that descended from carnivores have to deal with the low nutrient/calorie density of their foods by just eating a lot of it, and have varying levels of microbial symbiosis for helping with that digestion.

Dude knows ball

Does that actually add up, though?

Google released stats recently that the median Gemini prompt consumes about 0.24 watt hours of electricity.

For humans performing knowledge based labor, how many prompts is that worth per hour? Let’s say that the average knowledge worker is about as productive as one good prompt every 5 minutes, so 12 per hour or 96 per 8-hour workday.

Let’s also generously assume that about 25% of the prompts’ output are actually useful, and that the median is actually close to the mean (in real life, I would expect both to be significantly worse for the LLM, but let’s go with those assumptions for now).

So on the one hand, we have a machine doing 384 prompts (75% of which are discarded), for 92 watt hours of energy, which works out to be 80 kilocalories.

On the other hand, we have a human doing 8 hours of knowledge work, probably burning about 500 calories worth of energy during that sedentary shift.

You can probably see that the specific tasks can be worked through so that some classes of workers might be worth many, many LLM prompts, and some people might be worth more or less energy.

But if averages are within an order of magnitude, we should see that plenty of people are still more energy efficient than the computers. And plenty aren’t.

This is a joke about Tylenol during pregnancy causing autism, a ridiculous claim made by Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services.

I wouldn’t say it’s all that “nonstandard.” The word “loud” is often used to mean distracting or attention-grabbing in a visual context, so extending it to other senses doesn’t seem like that far of a leap.

If you’re talking about a “large patch of psoriasis” that is apparently always on your skin and don’t know the first thing about cleaning and moisturizing products for your hair and skin, it might be worth exploring whether your psoriasis is aggravated by certain substances (including your hair touching your skin) and can be mitigated by consciously avoiding certain products/ingredients.

Are you talking about Dr Bronns, which also comes with large amounts of reading material printed all over the bottle?

Attention seeking and validation seeking are baked into human personalities to varying degrees, and plenty of behavior predating social media (and even the internet) was motivated by those tendencies.

You’re making the common mistake of believing that newcomers are somehow dumber than the ones who have been here a while.

No, Lemmy/piefed has a deep user base of people knowledgeable about Linux, programming, Star Wars, and a few other topics, but plenty of other topics still leave a lot to be desired.

For example, I’ve noticed that Lemmy’s userbase is probably below the internet average at picking up on satire and sarcasm.

Giving his all

That’s definitely the clickhole logo in the cropped watermark, intended to be pure satire.

It describes something going to a location, but not what you do.

Going to that location is a much bigger part of the astronaut job than it is any other job you’ve listed.
