I shall await the moment when AI pretends to be as confident about communicating not being able to do something as it is with the opposite because it looks like it’s my job somehow.

I’m not saying it’s good at coding, I’m saying it’s specifically advertised as being very good at it.

People write code with LLMs. Programming language is just a language specialised at precise logic. That’s what „AI” is advertised to be good at. How can you do that an not the other?

What was the reason given for removing the post? You’re leaving out some important stuff which is a tell for shit stirrers.

Yes.

If you make money on YouTube you can afford iPhone Pro probably. You probably already have one for shooting quality video because what else is there at this budget?

Going by number of features isn’t really a way to tell what’s premium. For me the bar is set really low which is not having ads, which most budget Android phones fail at.

They’ve just done this to create artificial value for the “Pro” models.

Correct. They found out professionals have money to afford premium hardware and software so you can charge them that. Perfectly reasonable way to make money, little competition in that space as opposed to general purpose budget stuff.

I rarely take 128GB worth of photos at once so background iCloud sync is fast enough so that when I take a photo on my phone it’s visible on my Mac a minute or so after that.

I’m sure we’ll find much evidence for hobbyists on Lemmy having different use cases from the general public but Apple wasn’t ever interested in supporting that niche at budget prices because there’s little money to be made there.

Regular person doesn’t need much offline storage because they download apps from the App Store, listen to music from a streaming service and sync photos to iCloud or Google Photos. Those people probably shouldn’t store their data offline either way because they won’t back it up properly. It’s another case of Apple treating general public like incompetent grannies but they’re kind of right about that.

They let iCloud do the thing. Their computers don’t have that much storage.

People discuss this as if they connected their phones to their computers more than once in the past 5 years.

Redlib does that but it’s a game of cat and mouse these days. Facebook fought off web scrapers and while Reddit is much less technically competent they’ll get there too eventually.

Reddit makes browsing without account harder and harder. I assume the end goal is a walled unindexable garden like Facebook or Discord.

I assume those who were interested enough could whip out a script to do that easily until Reddit disabled API which is the moment I lost interest in the platform. I don’t know how people do it these days without getting accounts suspended for automated traffic but it’s something you have to consider and probably the reasons why such tools are not available widely.

Reddit won’t show you that your comment was removed by a mod and shows removed comments on user profiles (unless they had to be nuked for legal reasons). If you suspect you’re shadow banned or if your comment was quietly removed you have to check for that from a separate account in that comment thread directly.

Since I found out I have autism I was reading a lot on how autisms develop and have very mixed feelings about how both sides approach this.

Currently the main accepted theory of human origin is that Homo sapiens left Africa and replaced other ancient human species. This is very at odds with evidence of Neanderthal and Denisovan ancient human DNA being present in modern humans and being highly correlated with autoimmune diseases as well as neurodevelopmental „disorders” or neurodivergence. There are environmental factors too but one doesn’t really exist without another. Like premature birth and asphyxiation are still correlated back to genetics of Marfan, EDS and other connective tissue disorders.

Neanderthal DNA is more common in European/Asian populations while Denisovian DNA is more common in Philippines and Australian aboriginals. We know that aboriginal belief system is entirely alien compared to other human cultures and must have diverged a very long time ago too.

Pretending all humans are the same seems to be done out of concern for the consequences it might lead to rather than out of concern for truth. I kinda get it, Nazis started with us and then followed with killing every population correlated to neurodivergence (LGBT, Jews, Slavic people, Roma) so it’s pretty scary.

I don’t think hiding is the answer though and what’s happening should be challenged head-on. We’re different but we can coexist.

The biggest lesson from The Big Short movie is that you can be right at predicting a bubble for years but politicians and financieers can stall until they exit the market and everyone else has to deal with the aftermath.

It can’t be stopped this way but this is just some friction or increasing barrier to entry to discourage it. Most people are lazy and will just drop it as not worth the effort, and the most persistent will be annoying no matter what you do.

I always thought our ideological differences stemmed mostly from a set of axioms that we decide on based on our experiences (or prejudices for those who refuse to address reality). But going further and attributing prejudice to amygdala or rigidity in thinking to dopamine seems like a very straightforward explanation with lots of research already.

Pretty cool, thank you for sharing.
