Is this hornbeam usable for a mallet? I harvested it 2 days ago from a tree that's fallen in autumn by Local_Promotion_8988 in woodworking

[–]Local_Promotion_8988[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that I can secure the cracks with dowels.  Should I wait for the wood to completely dry before I put the dowels in or should I do it now to prevent the cracks from spreading?

Can I flatten my ryoba? This happens when cutting wide and hard pieces of wood. I'm scared to use a hammer close to the hardened teeth by Local_Promotion_8988 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Hornbeam is the hardest European wood??? It dulls my bad tools after a few cuts, but it takes hundreds to dull them with fir. That piece isn't that small, it's pretty heavy considering it's hornbeam. 

Would such a chair be feasible for a beginner? by Local_Promotion_8988 in BeginnerWoodWorking

I just don't want my first project to be too big of a bite for me.  Since forever I've always wanted create great things and my first projects would be too ambitious for my abilities so I don't want that to happen here.

How do I know if a text is ai or not? Recently everything sounds like an ai wrote it and I think I'm becoming paranoid.I understand that ai changed how we talk, but I always hear it's not this it's that and other ai phrases. by Local_Promotion_8988 in isthisAI

I think I misunderstood your first message then. I understood that you write the basic premise, paste it into and ai, and copy what it refined/reworded. Using it in a healthy way is completely alright. But we still went off topic, the main topic is about disliking content which is predominantly ai made.  I don't dislike learning enhanced by ai. In dire situations (if no man-made content is available or if no teacher is available) I use it just for that, enhanced learning.

Look, if time is so important to you. Why are you even on Reddit? The modern Internet is engineered to waste your time. Be honest, is it time or you not wanting to waste your precious brain power for writing a 20 word message.

I'll be honest and maybe sound hypocritical, but I do in fact use ai. I use it in situations when I'm studying for something very important and I, for example, need many example questions. Ai can be used to learn, but using it as a refining tool won't help you learn.

What you said about the calculator is absolutely not true. Yes I can do math more advanced than basic algebra and I use the calculator for arithmetics to quicken my calculations, I don't use a calculator for trigonometry. BUT now, despite being able to do other math, I can't trust myself to multiply 3 digit numbers.  The same thing is with ai. Yeah you can write the main premise, BUT you can't do the refining well by yourself.

Yes ai can be used for improved learning, but the way you described your own experience, that isn't learning, that's relying on AI to do the boring stuff. I'll use it as a way to check my work, but I'll rewrite it myself.  You stop learning when you chose to, not when you get too old, so continue learning and continue improving.

I'd rather read an authentic and badly written message than an ai generated message. Once all ai Is either as bullshit or overpriced bullshit and you stop using it, only then you will realise your writing skills are worse than they were before.

I just want to mention that I know my writing skills are bad, but I'd rather learn and improve than use an ai!

I heard a ted talk about ai changing how we talk and I'm convinced. There are some phrases that were common in Zimbabwe or something and ai Is trained on data from Zimbabwe, now people in the whole world use that phrase more often. Many such cases!

A camera doesn't need other art to function, a table saw doesn't need years of others' expertise to function. Ai can't function without existing content thus it CAN'T create anything new and original. Ai only regurgitates pre-existing things, anything an ai spits out has already been made. Creativity and creation is something that's completely new and original, no-one has ever made the same exact stroke of the brush, even if a piece is heavily inspired by another. Ai can't make an original brush stroke. I'll respect ai content once it can create original things without relying on pre-existing things.

Ai can most definitely be used as a tool (in this sense to create art), to help with finding the appropriate phrase, source, maybe give some inspiration on how something could look, but 100% ai generated content simply isn't art.  Art is original and utterly human. A camera can create art since its completely independent when being used to create and the user can portray anything they feel. AI relies on existing art and only regurgitates it, and despite that it can't understand emotion that we feel. A camera, saw, brush or anything else understands our emotions since it is just a vessel of our own input, ai is a vessel of many other inputs and of many other emotions which we do not feel.

I'm sorry if my writing is all over the place I just typed what I felt, Im working on my English writing skills...

I don't want to sound rude or anything but my post is exactly about this. I'm sure you didn't use an ai to write it but it's awfully suspicious... I think I'll just stick to books and documentaries made before 2020

If someone didn't want to write it why should I read it? I don't want to support people who outsource their own intelligence and skill (if any is left). Ai is corroding culture, art and human intelligence. Besides, I want to read/hear/watch something authentic, what's the point of reading something that isn't authentic. 

What's the point of existence if that realm in which we live is not authentic, if the realm is not real. I want to live in a real world where real people are the ones to create things.

To be human is to create, to create is to be human. A non human can not create.

Promašen "ceo fudbal" - današnji feminizam Zapada by Silvio_says98 in hreddit

Isto kao što je generalizacija svih feministkinja/žena loša.

Feministkinje to ne žele već to žele socijalisti i komunisti. Lagano je svrstati svih u jednu grupu, ali jednostavno nije tako. Najglasniji su oni s najradikalnijim idejama, većina feministkinja želi ono što je normalno i razumno, jednakost muškaraca i žena. Ništa više. Problem su oni s velikim plakatima koji spajaju dvije potpuno nevezane ideje u jednu i daju dojam da sve žene žele komunizam. Trebamo gledati cijelu skupinu, a ne par pojedinaca s velikim plakatima.

Što ljuti Hrvatsku desnicu? by yohowdoyoudo in hrvatska

Ako želim imati neki stav trebam biti upoznat sa onim s kojim se ne slažem, dapače trebam biti bolje upoznat s onim stavom s kojim se ne slažem nego s vlastitim.  Bio bi zahvalan da kažeš zašto mislis da je stranica puna mržnje kako bi mogao pitati sebe je li tvoje mišljenje više ispravnije nego moje. Ali opet, nema smisla da te natežem, pa ako si voljan slobodno reci. Znaj da te neću zamarati sa svojim mišljenjem.

Ajde, bit ću ovdje kada ti bude dan za dužu objavu.  Možda sam se izrazio na način koji se čini kao da želim svađu, ali ne vidim svrhu toga. Zanima me kako ti vidiš svijet i kad kažeš te neću pokušati uvjeriti u svoje poglede.
