  • I just finished reading an interesting article in #QuantaMagazine about recent research on bird eyes.

    @HydrePrever @jannem @joncounts When someone asks you what your point is, saying „I think my point is clear” is a form of intellectual masturbation.

    You haven’t presented a point, you mentioned a known fact without making any statement about its relevance to the exchange at hand.

    @kimcrawley I’ll be honest, I’m kinda pumped about using Gentoo again. It taught me a lot two decades ago.

    @urlyman @Geri How about we don’t frame it in terms of personal responsibility?

  • How to get prescribed ADHD medication in the Netherlands, a guide based on real world success:
    S slotos@toot.community

    @0xabad1dea @Monsieur_Lepetit I worked for a small company that, among other things, is automating dealing with insurance for physiotherapy practices in Netherlands.

    I wouldn’t fault anyone dealing with that for changing their profession.

    S slotos@toot.community

    @0xabad1dea Psychologist at step 2? The profession that _does not diagnose nor prescribes medicine_?

    Go to Poland to get diagnosed. Ask for the diagnosis in English. Use it to skip to the end of the process in the Netherlands.

    Will probably end up saving money that way.

  • Using AI chatbots for even just for 10 minutes may have a shockingly negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem-solve, according to a new study from researchers at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Oxford, and UCLA.
    S slotos@toot.community

    @kpwn @GossiTheDog That’s exactly why the reversal happens.

    Look at later graphs, they clearly label the phases: „pre”, „learning”, and „test”.

    Making mistakes in learning is exactly how we learn. Replace AI with a happy-to-help specialist, and you’ll get a similar result.

    Hell, train AI model with only the correct answers and no negative backpressure, and it will recognize sarcomas by the presence of ruler markers on the x-rays.

  • Dawkins has always intensely rubbed me the wrong way — long before the “Claudia” incident, and long before his transphobia came oozing out.
    S slotos@toot.community

    @inthehands USSR state atheism/materialism presents a great analogy IMO. The moment said state collapsed, yesterday’s atheists turned to religion.

    Institutional atheism wasn’t the case of an educated shrugging off of religious thinking but rather a method of subverting it towards state worship.

  • The class solidarity argument has been a part of “AI” discourse in many fields for a while now.

    @baldur Game devs seem to be breaking that mold. But yeah, I mentioned unions on a meetup once, it didn’t go well.

  • > When adjusted for inflation, global worker pay declined 12% between 2019 and 2025, the equivalent of 108 days of free work during that time period.
    S slotos@toot.community

    @vmbrasseur In the last year and a half alone my buying power went down by more than 20%.

    Which makes me assume that the global decline is sitting at mere 12% because the vast majority of the world workers simply cannot be paid less without them starving to death.
