For a long time I didn’t like Nihilism because of the implied negativity. There’s no god, no reason no ultimate judge. So it says behave as you like, and I somehow read it as “don’t care about anyone else”.

Just I feel better when I treat people nicely, when I’m not an asshole. Not out of fear, but because I like to.

It was so eye opening when I found out this is known as optimistic nihilism.

This is the world. Shit happens, good things happen. There is no deeper reason behind it. Things are not important. I can make the world my hell or my playground.

That’s what I was thinking looking at this meme. Being both is the only logical thing.

Shall I stay or shall I go now?

I don’t have a lot of VR experience, but for me being “in” a scene does it for VR, while 3D Glasses are still meh.

Try non-stereoscooic VR by just closing one eye while using your headset - it’s still great. The difference is the one between stereoscopic tvs and normal ones.

Oh, and the 3d tvs are non-interactive. Move your head a bit, you still don’t see around things. But that’s what makes a lot of 3d effect for me.

I had a TV that was 3D capable along with a PS3. I think I played 30 minutes of 3D games on that TV before I got a headache from the flickering shutter glasses and then they staid in the drawer below them tv for a year ar or two. Next time I wanted to try the batteries were empty.

I also saw a number of 3D movies in the cinema but it’s more for block busters and after a while it just is “meh”.

It’s a wow cool effect in the beginning, but in the end it’s just a gimmick. IMO it’s not more immersive but rather distracting from the movie itself.

Why is everyone ignoring Wham? Whamageddon starts at Dec 1st.

In my fourth semester im Uni I could choose whether to take numerical analysis or probability theory.

Most students took numerical analysis, even if the exam typically had a 80% failure rate. (Yes, one of five successed)

It was a completely different with probability theory (Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung). Oh, having chosen it due to these reasons now I know why: The prof loved teaching and was really good at explaining.

Ultimately this shows, people have no idea about probabilities.

Edit: fixed the nunerical typo. No it was not about catholic nuns.

In every fucking commercial for a washing machine someone is in their garden and turns on the machine by wifi. How does the dirty laundry get in?

The only interesting thing might be a notification when it’s done.

He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a vodka drink

He gets knocked down,
does not get up again
You’re never keep him up again

The only thing I own that doesn’t suck is my dustsucker.

What about an emulator like 86box or so? And which game is it?

“Evidence”? What a quaint concept.

As a Bavarian (South of Germany) I agree with the Ch at the start of the word being pronounced like a K (Chiemsee starts with the sound K), but with it depends on the region. I start “China” and “Chemie” with K, but a lot of people start it with “sch” (which sounds like sh in English). But that’s really weird for my ears.

And the father of my ex wife is from Cologne, his “ch” sound quite like “sh” as well. Kirche (church) sounds like Kirsche (cherry) when he says it. Funnily his last name has two “ch”.

When coding (my main job since lot of years) I like to use LLMs for brainstorming, reviewing my code for the “quickly visible” errors etc. Oh, and I found out LLMS are not bad explaining query plans and suggesting optimizations for SQL queries in PostgreSQL. I feel the older a technology is (when there’s a lot of reference materials available) the better LLMs are with those topics.

But don’t put them to the task of suggesting something on new tech or creative. They lie without blushing. And in the end you just get a “Good Catch, that can’t really work” for wasting your time.

I think you need to get a feel for what they can and can’t do. In any event all the shit they are being pushed for - that will “go well”. Ah recently, I saw claude or so being able to edit exel sheets. Yep. Combine the most untestable tool guilty of producing tons of false data with LLMs. WHAT COULD GO WRONG!!! Users blindly asking the llm to do stuff in excel and then just betting their companies on the results…

LLMs are fucking useful, but there’s not yet a good business model. You can switch to any system at any time, so everyone is trying to forcefeed you their own version of it ro get you hooked. But in the end they’re just annoying the hell out of users.

German is my native language , so yes. It sounds a lot different from what you might think if you can’t speak “ch”. But if you’re American…

Please read this German sentence aloud:

Ich suche den Koch.

(I’m looking for the chef.)

I did answer with these statements on your first question. Regarding the second one, sorry I’m not the tech support.

Free speech means that you can speak your opinion freely without the state (country…) punishing you for it.

Free speech doesn’t mean I have to listen to/read everything.

And yes, you can block the whole of lemmy.world easily, if you want to.

Anything else, sir?
