I wish that commenting would automatically upvote a post. It’s far too late to fix the use of an upvote as approval of subject discussion and not just an agree arrow, but I often…no, I almost always forget to upvote the initial topic even after leaving a few paragraphs. One would hope whatever algorithm is used also considers activity and number of comments in a rating or suggesting it to others.

Another for In Deep Geek. All the ones I’ve seen listed here I’ve seen before I swear people in the their video comments often mention their soothing voice deliveries.

Practical Engineering has that atmosphere.

Others I’ve got saved are:

Tropical Tidbits

His Geo Detective bits are exactly what OP is looking for. No competition, just using his knowledge, skills, and luck to help people find things, usually from historical pictures of their loved ones.

Change posture, but also get up and move around. Take breaks away from the screen to let your eyes rest.

Of course doing this can also mess up the flow of ideas sometimes. Nothing worse than coming back and trying to recapture the zone you were in.

Ceres does appear to be active in some form with cryovolcanoes, based on the 2015 Dawn mission.

I think focus ought to be more on what the qualifications are for the minor label. What does it mean to be minor?

That’s a good question. Is being hydrostatic equilibrium the only physical attribute we should use for classification? Should Ceres be a planet?

For some reason this subject always hits a nerve, but I found this take pretty funny. Almost like when you experiment with regex matching randomly and find everything but what you really want to get.

It also wouldn’t be a joke or topic if the definition had been clarified better than it was initially. They should have used the term “dynamical dominance”, implying whether or not a body is the primary object left in its orbital area after formation. And this has its own issues, as solar systems change over time.

I don’t know what the current standing is, but it was suggested that the domesticated wolves had genetic tendencies to form relationships with humans, i.e. trust them more than the rest of the species. That trait of obedience was the first step, rewarded by food and shelter, and spread by breeding the ones who would continue that characteristic of being trainable.

Our dogs come from broken wolves.

Dependency

While I do think that it’s simply bad at generating answers because that is all that’s going on, generating the most likely next word that works a lot of the time but then can fail spectacularly…

What if we’ve created AI but by training it with internet content, we’re simply being trolled by the ultimate troll combination ever.

That kind of coding is also where we get future self into trouble. Revisiting coding and having to figure out what the hell they were trying to do. They were just vibing, man. To read the code again, you have to rediscover that vibe, which may not be possible.

That describes all the coding I’ve written for decades now…even a side thing for work to automate stuff. I’ll be the first to admit I hack things until they work well enough and don’t legit code. Obviously coding isn’t my profession, that wouldn’t last long.

I’m exactly that kind of person, would rather order online and no contact, or self checkout. Yet I still feel that pushing that to every service isn’t right. Insert Jurassic Park quote here. Maybe doing things just because we can isn’t the best qualifier.

Popular Science had an “open source” robot lawnmower plans in the…80s? I have it somewhere. Old enough that it used deep cycle lead-acid batteries and spinning round dremel blades. No laser to cut the grass, although it did use LEDs for sensors for grass height.

I have cats, and two Eufys, one for each floor. I don’t run them every day since the cats are all shorthair and it takes a bit to add up, but it’s nice to just let it go for a bit and check in.

And do that. Don’t assume the vacuum is strong enough to suck things all the way in. They can easily be clogged the first run through and then you’re just pushing crap around. Should carry the lesson over to any automation. Trust to a certain level, but know what it can and cannot do and when to step in.

Isolation or minimal contact is not only another option, it always has been the first option to consider. It’s difficult to do in our society, so we have other things like masking and distancing, but a virus can’t spread to/from you if you’re not around other persons.

Looks like just posts from Lemmy instances. Now, are replies posts? I don’t think so, I think it’s original topics. But many replies from Lemmy users are going to be to outside sources, so there’s a lot going on!

Using it to share data can be a nightmare, especially since different departments might look at that data in various ways and want their own formats. I work for a Fortune 500 company that, at least at my level of management, emailing around attached full spreadsheets of daily data rather than have a centralized database. I’ve fought it for years, but it’s what the higher ups want…stupid.

Even better when Microsoft puts out improvements like 365 and OneDrive that break certain functions, then depreciates Excel itself. God I hate the cloud.

I never considered this, and I hope it’s not true.
