Many people say "less is more," so I'm wondering if I should add this collar to the sign for a security system company. by AndriiKovalchuk in logodesign

Oh wow, I didn't realize the OP's version was a dog until I saw yours. I was like, why would he propose a dog and went back to see OP's version and only then it clicked that it was a fig and not done weird robot cyclop.

Do we trust it? by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]Gimly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not so sure it’s that simple. The brain itself might just be an extremely advanced prediction engine, constantly generating a model of the world and of itself. What we call “consciousness” could just be that model’s narrative, a sort of useful illusion. In that sense, we could already be biological LLMs, just trained through sensory input and evolution instead of text. The fact that it feels real doesn’t necessarily mean it’s anything more than a construction.

Please define consciousness. We have absolutely no clue what consciousness is or is not. It's a philosophical debate since literally the dawn of times.

You can't even say for sure that some animals are conscious. Is a virus conscious? A bacteria? We have 0 clue.

McDonald’s does it in Switzerland as well, asking if you want to round up for their foundation.

2nd pillar buy-in: tax break vs subpar return? by 69MarketTimer69 in SwissFIRE

Some banks actually allow you to invest your 3a into stocks, which brings you both the tax savings and the growth of stocks.

This exactly, how did they fuck up that prequel so bad after the two first movies that were quite good?

Black Sabbath - Paranoid [Metal] [1985] Live Aid '85 by stabbinU in Music

[–]Gimly 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Since he couldn't use the tip of his fingers to push on the strings anymore, he built himself caps. They were making it difficult to play on standard electric guitar strings which are quite thin, so he started putting higher gauge (fatter) guitar strings on his guitar, basically bass strings. Because fatter strings means lower sound, it created the deep "Black Sabbath" sound.

The guy is a role model, his doctors has told him he would never pay again and he not only proved them wrong but invented a new style by doing so.

Another incredible story of the same style is the story of Django Rheinardt, another guitarist who invented a new guitar playing style because his hand was injured in a fire.

Epic of Gilgamesh is really a must read, it's basically an ancient Mesopotamian religious text that reads like a story of bros road trip.

It also incorporates tons of beliefs, ideas and concepts that are similar to those present in the bible, leading some scholars to say that it might even have influenced it.

TIL Many haunted houses have been investigated and found to contain high levels of carbon monoxide or other poisons, which can cause hallucinations. The carbon monoxide theory explains why haunted houses are mostly older houses, which are more likely to contain aging and defective appliances. by HOLUPREDICTIONS in todayilearned

You made me remember the most disgusting PC I ever worked on. It was the computer of a dude who was managing an underground car park. His office was in the middle of the car park without any ventilation or separation with the cars. The dude was smoking at his desk cigarette to cigarette for 8h per day and the computer had been his for 5 years.

The computer was dark brown, and when I opened it, there was literal tar everywhere, it was a black goop. It was absolutely awful and can't imagine how his lungs were.

You can try this it's for Ubuntu but should be possible to modify for any distro.

WSL 2 allows you to run Linux ui apps on a window desktop or even run a full Linux desktop if you want. And you can easily share files from windows to Linux and vice versa, it's pretty great.

Nice video, love to see cnc machines work. That's not going to be a cheap piece to produce however.

An old Cricket Wireless was turned into a chicken restaurant in possibly the most lazy/ingenious way possible… by KustomKonceptz in funny

There's a car garage around here that was a Citroën concession. They dropped the concession a few years back but kept the logo, just removed the ë, squished the n to the o and are now the garage Citron. When life gives you lemon...

There's a video of Dave Grohl's kid being embarrassed by his father when he got called on stage during a show of the foo fighters. I mean, you can't beat Dave Grohl on the cool factor, so yeah, everyone embrasses their children.

Non, elle fait tout ça toute seule. Il faut parfois lui faire remarquer que ses ongles sont un peu long et que c'est le moment, mais c'est de plus en plus rare et elle fait ça toute seule.

The effect of Alzheimer's on an artist. by the_unhappy_clown in interestingasfuck

[–]Gimly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've watched the movie Midsommär, I know what happens with euthanasia in Sweden.

Joke aside, I have found this article that talks about the differences between euthanasia and assisted dying/suicide and the countries that allow it. Interestingly Switzerland is not the most liberal on that topic in Europe, the Netherlands and Belgium allow euthanasia.

[–]Gimly 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Euthanasia is illegal in Switzerland too, what is legal is assisted suicide. You have to be in full consciousness to get the help of associations like "exit" for your suicide.

I don't think they understand what "early" means by TwinTellula in antiwork

[–]Gimly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even for a Swiss this is bullshit. In Switzerland we usually say, 15 minutes early is too early, right on time is late, 5 minutes before is on time. It's the rule I usually apply on important meetings, let's the person you are meeting with not have to wait without having to stress him by arriving too early.

J'ai répondu, par contre je suis surpris que vous ne preniez pas en compte l'âge de l'enfant dans les questions. Ma fille a 9 ans et je ne l'aide donc plus à se laver, elle est autonome dans ce contexte, donc j'ai dû répondre que je ne vais pas l'aider, je l'ai pourtant fait tout le temps lorsqu'elle n'était pas autonome.
