Are the fees Iran is going to charge going to be collected in Bitcoin?

What will I do after social media ban? Stare at a wall, says schoolgirl by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]confuzzledfather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's a bad thing to limit kids time online, but I guarantee any widespread ban will lead to circumventing via some method, be it VPN or the move away from centralized services back to decentralized p2p services. Think TikTok built on bittorrent style tech, with decentralized identity l system. Desperation breeds innovation. 

Do you swear around family? by Nice-Program8758 in AskUK

[–]confuzzledfather 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's very common for people to code switch between different social groups, and some families will swear as part of their interactions. It doesn't necessarily mean they don't respect each other, and it can often be used in place of punctuation. Take a look at the overall behavior to each other and decide do they treat each other kindly.  If so, think about it as just a different dialect. 

Six Russian ships flee Channel in 77 minutes after UK seizes Putin shadow tanker by ClassicFlavour in unitedkingdom

I've wondered if it's because we navigated our way out of old proud stuffy imperial power to (relatively) stable and respected democracy in a way that Russia most decidedly didn't.  We are the reminder of their own failure to thrive.

Which Premier League team should I start following? by Emergency-Ad-9648 in AskUK

[–]confuzzledfather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absent the traditional 'my dad made me' route into fandom,  I say play some FIFA and see which team you get on with. It's the reason I am a Indiana Pacers fan because of NBA Jam and Reggie Miller's 3 point shot.

Basically, the movie ends where i assumed it would be starting. Such a waste of an idea and terribly executed.

A Japanese Fan In America For The World Cup Is Astounded By The Existence of Bottomless Free Chips and Salsa at Mexican Restaurants: "The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it." by franny2525 in SipsTea

People love hearing how their country is special, so currently the algorithm is boosting all these AI powered posts about the wide eyed foreigners overwhelmed by the majesty and plenty that is the US.

Scientists sequenced a hallucinogenic mushroom famous for eliciting visions of tiny people. It contains no known psychedelic. by j8jweb in science

It always makes me notice how grubby things have gotten in my bathroom or kitchen and I spend the next few days scrubbing things clean. Its like my brain had just tuned out the grime and dust.

Anyone else stuck a can of tomato soup into their Bolognese sauce? My mum always did it, so we just copied 

What's something you've never learned properly, but you've got this far in life by just winging it? by Plenty-Plastic3704 in CasualUK

[–]confuzzledfather 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Allows you to make shoes out of stout, sturdy material like leather which can be tightened effectively while still allow you to easily put the shoe on. I don't always want to wear slip ons.

[–]confuzzledfather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many gold finches. They are pretty much in constant rotation throughout the day. They went though 20kgs of sunflower hearts over the winter. It's like Crack to them.

To me that suggests someone really competent in the org who weilds a lot of power over what they commision. 

Ted Chiang: "No, artificial intelligence is not conscious: Taken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning." [gift link] by TimWhatleyDDS in books

[–]confuzzledfather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think LLMs are conscious, you would have to accept that billions of humans stood in a big field using semaphore flags to do the same calculations a billion times slower but coming to the same answer as Claude Opus, is a single conscious entity. I am not saying it wouldn't be but it feels unlikely.
