I'm curious about the state or Zika and West Nile now too.
West Nile got here in the early 2000's, and I was hearing about Zika in 2016ish.
Now we can add Malaria to the bingo card.
Just need chikungunya and dengue fever now.
And that's just mosquitoes.
Tick populations booming, so thats Lyme disease. Not to mention the invasive swarming ticks.
What other fun bugs do we have that spread diseases?
Sand flies?
Deer flies?
Canada is a very progressive place it seems
Ok, so is RIF going to make an app for the fediverse so I can keep using it?
I think there's a problem with people wanting a fully developed brand new technology right out the gate. The cell phones of today didn't happen overnight, it started with a technology that had limitations and people innovated.
AI is a technology that has limitations, people will innovate it. Hopefully.
I think my favorite potential use case for AI is academics. There are countless numbers of journal articles that get published by students, grad students and professors, and the vast majority of those articles don't make an impact. Very few people read them, and they get forgotten. Vast amounts of data, hypotheses and results that might be relevant to someone trying to do something good, important or novel but they will never be discovered by them. AI can help with this.
Of course there's going to be problems that come up. Change isn't good for everyone involved, but we have to hope that there is a net good at the end. I'm sure whoever was invested in the telegram was pretty choked when the phone showed up, and whoever was invested in the carrier pigeon was upset when the telegram showed up. People will adapt, and society will benefit. To think otherwise is the cynical take on the same subject. The glass is both half full and half empty. You get to choose your perspective on it.
Ibuprofen + acetaminophen at the same time.
Alternate ice and heat in 15 min intervals. You can get an electric heating pad they work well. Lay on the floor to do it.
Get a firm mattress. If that's out of your immediate price range, sleep on a folded blanket or a mat on the floor. Your shoulders might get cranky, but it will be relief on your back.
Walk.
Bend at the knees for everything.
Light stretching, nothing that puts an unsupported load on your lower back.
Ab exercises. Planking is your friend.
Linux has 'swap'. Pretty much it's a back up to prevent your computer from crashing if it tries to use more ram than it has, so it allocates hard drive space to be used as ram.
Different distributions have different suggestions on how much space to allocate for swap. Depending on how much ram you're putting in your machine and how you plan on using your machine will heavily influence the size of swap you need (ram intensive vs not ram intensive).
You can set up with a 'swap file' on a hard drive after you install your OS.
Or you can set up a 'swap partition' on your harddrive when you're setting up your partitions prior to OS installation
Or you can set up a separate harddrive as a swap drive
Or if you have a lot of ram you can avoid setting up swap entirely. This is not advisable though, it sucks finding out something is ram intensive when what you're doing crashes.
It's good to have an idea of how you want to map out your hard drives before installing your OS.
The world is your oyster.
If you're dual booting windows you need to turn off 'safe boot' in your BIOS.
It's wild how negligent the lawyer was. How did he manage to pass the bar with that level of work ethic?
You would think that any reasonable person having someone else do their work for them would at least have to good sense to look it over, let alone letting an AI do it for you and not fact checking it at all. What an utter nincompoop.
This sounds like an interesting topic that I know nothing about, thank you giving me more to add to my reading list.
That's not going to stop me, I can't read.
To be fair, as a cis white male, I use cis white male as a slur quite regularly. Right up there with dusty white folk.
If a slur is simply 'to talk about disparaginly or negatively' then that is exactly how I was using it and I don't regret it. (I got the definition from the second definition of the google first result but from duckduckgo not google.)
Does making the negative generalizations about cis white folk like myself make me a bad person? Probably. Is it going to stop me? Probably not.
It certainly isn't stopping them from dropping N-bombs, or other slurs. Talking shit about people who are just trying to live their lives. Interfering with people who just want to fucking exist in peace.
Am I stooping down to their level? Certainly.
Do they deserve it? Yes.
Should I be bothered that I'm not taking the high road? Not turning the other cheek? No.
These fucks aren't going to learn unless you slap them in the goddamn face with it. Bigotry hurts. They deserve to hurt. Maybe they'll learn, maybe we'll learn. Maybe we won't. At least it's justice. I am a cis white male.
I have a label maker. It was a good investment. It ran out of ink. I need to invest in more ink so I can make more labels. I'm currently a little sad that I can't make more labels because I don't have ink in my label maker. I like the idea that the labels I made make others happy. I want other people to be happy.
I took it the other way, instead of us teaching the machines, we should have the machines teaching us, or develop the machines to teach us at least.
What's the point of having all the information in the world at our fingertips if we're just going to ignore it in preference of what we already agree with?
