Alright AMD, just remove HDMI from your graphics cards and be done with it 🤷 . Fuck the HDMI forum.

parens,

That requires installing the debug symbols, right?

parens,

have fun without those debug symbols

parens,

And what happens when you release it?

parens,

The opposite result (predicting sex but not gender) would also be interesting but less so

I disagree. It could be wildly interesting if somebody born a male got a scan and it revealed a female brain. Dunno if “anti-trans” people would agree then that a sex-change is valid or if they’d disagree and start finding other excuses.

parens,

There are short men and tall women, so you shouldn’t rely on just that.

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. Height is a single value. If you trained an AI on that, it would be guessing. A brain has many, many more parameters to take into consideration when going into an artificial neural network.

parens,

I do mean person born a male that wants to become female. Anti-trans people often make points that trans people are just forced into being trans by the trans-mafia (or whatever term they use) aka social pressure. A brain scan indicating a female brain would counter that. But as I said, they’d probably find other excuses “it’s a mental disease that can be treated” and so on and so forth.

I was saying it would be less interesting if it scanned say a female-to-male trans person and returned a result of female (correctly guessing the sex but not the gender), than if it had returned a result of male (that is correctly guessing the gender but not the sex).

That would embolden the anti-trans crowd.

Science is ongoing though, so who knows what the results will be.

parens,

The more data you have, the more confident you can be that the resulting categorisation is correct. If you’re saying this is incorrect, I disagree with you. If you’re saying absolute confidence that the categories themselves are correct is impossible, then I agree with you

parens,

what’s with the dots?

parens,

And if you’re European, participate in the elections in June to get more parties into the EU bodies that will take legislative action against companies like Apple. The EU is the reason Apple is even attempting this silliness because Apple was designated a gatekeeper in the Digital Markets Act: one of the great EU acts for consumers.

parens,

Apple should be called Malus, honestly. It’s the Latin designation for “common apple” and sounds evil: exactly what Apple is.

parens,

HackerNews is full of these kind of people

Contributor: Hey guys, I wrote this proof of concept in a fortnight that does something fun!

HackerNews: Why the fuck would you do that, you nincompoop?

Contributor: I… thought it would be fun after shitty days at work

HackerNews: You could be spending your time making money or contributing to $subjectivelyMoreImportantProject. Be ashamed

People who can’t accept that some people just want to have fun and do what they like.

parens,

You don’t think there’s a difference between “Why the fuck would you do that, you nincompoop?” and “Haha, why”?

parens,

I think the face in the comic convey quite well that “haha why” was not a “wow, I’m interested” but “the fuck you doing, bro?”. Especially since it’s literally prefixed with “what the hell are you doing?”.

Just because I type LOL doesn’t mean I’m LOL

parens,

Looking forward to the memes once this dies

(Zed’s dead)

parens,

Does Trump need money to be president?

parens,

He might have to kiss his presidenty-seeking ass goodbye then.

parens,

That requires a population willing to vote for such legislators.

parens,

FPTP does destroy a lot, I’ll give you that, but municipal and regional elections have miserable turn-outs too and they have much more potential for perceptible change than state or national change.

In the USA things have to get way worse than they are now before they get better. A very very large percentage of voters would have to be fed up with FPTP to force change in that area. Also, they would have to be educated enough to understand that FPTP is a problem.

parens,

Remember: You’re an anti-Semite if you oppose genocide.

Clearly. Good people can’t do bad things.

parens,

Valheim too?

parens,

Close enough. Graphics are about equal

Meta: How can we grow this community?

The title says it all: How can we grow the Rust community here on Lemmy? Many users fled Reddit or are here for different reasons. But compared to it’s commercial big brother, the Rust community here, feels more or less dead. I would like to discuss ideas, on how we can changes that and make Lemmy the default for Rust related...

parens,

Looking at the posts right now, most of them are pretty much what the bot would post: blog posts, announcements, interesting repos. A bot would add more of that.

To have people talking, you need to give them something to talk about and news is what people talk about, I think. We just have a large lurking community, which IMO isn’t bad. To have people talk more, the only things I can think of are

  • projects the community works on together (bot may be one)
  • podcasts or videos with the community
  • questions from the community

A bot seems like the easiest in terms of investment.

parens,

That’s your opinion and I don’t share it.

parens,

Is this even satire? It’s true
