AI is highly subsidized for users so AI wrappers can be profitable. (Even though they are a net negative to the economy)

But ai companies burn trillions of dollars of investor money with fake promises. They can’t make a reddit chatgpt bot that charges a user 10$ a month and make a profit.

its absolutely wild to give an LLM write access to your email

I feel missed out. What are some spicy communities where these arguments are going on?

Google always finds a way to bypass adblocking. What worked for me is using firefox with ublock origin. And using apps that don’t have ads in the first place. There are many apps like this on F-droid.

Degrading your sanity and mental health for yourselves is not okay. But if it’s to serve a rich guy then it’s fine…

Calories: Amount of energy in food.

Carbs: An energy source that is abundant in plant food.

Glucose: Most carbs are digested into glucose. It gets absorbed by each cell and burned into energy.

My wife changed her facebook status from married to widowed. Should I be worried?

I used to laugh my ass off at some of those funny yahoo answers. Those were the days…

Only a part of the universe is observable. All the stars that can be seen are in this region.

So we cannot answer this question with certainty. But I would lean towards more galaxies than obervable stars because the universe could be very large or infinite in size.

I’m not a tankie. I was just pointing out that the code is open source and is devoid of any political bias. So it doesn’t make sense to attach the developer’s political beliefs with it.

But yea fair enough and good luck.

If you believe that why don’t you make your own (or switch to a) piefed instance that doesn’t federate with any lemmy instance?

You are contributing to lemmy indirectly by interacting with users on lemmy.

yea I imagine some Haskell genius already wrote the greatest script in the world. But they are not famous because only a few shy programmers can understand it.

It’s probably C that’s closest in the programming language world. It’s old, stood the test of time and is still popular.

Making a new programming language is like inventing a new musical instrument.

It represents the creator’s vision of what good music is and how easily and well it produces these sounds.

Hmm. Lemmy is a great software and free for everybody: no matter what you believe.

Whether you agree with the developer’s political beliefs or not doesn’t matter.

Welcome to the fediverse!

I prefer lemmy / piefed because it’s not owned by a greedy capitalist who takes all your contributions for his own profits and then kicks you out anytime.

I built quite a community and made friends

There are really nice people here. Hope you enjoy it here too.

There are already excellent answers. We can attack it from another angle and analyze what causes the fear of death.

1. Fear of separation

Death means leaving everything behind. The life you have built. Friends, family, home, your identity, and your body—even the clothes you have on.

2. Fear of pain

Death is usually accompanied by a lot of physical pain. We fear pain and live our lives running away from it.

We can use philosophy and deep thought to alleviate both.

Everything you are being “separated” from were only in your imagination. There were no “you” or “your people” or things to begin with. There is just reality. You have categorized sensory information as “this is me. This is my body, this is family etc.” If you continue this line of thought, you will realise nothing special happens during death. You are still a part of reality in a different form like a cloud that becomes rain.

Next is the fear of pain. Pain is a protective mechanism in your brain. It is a signal telling you to stay away from something or to draw attention somewhere. It’s nothing more. If you realise this at a deep level and keep your mind at peace even in extreme pain, your brain will not perceive it as a threat. Instead it will release endorphins to reduce the pain.

I know what I have said is not easy. It requires a lifetime of mental training and meditation. But it is possible.

And there are many stages to this. First is to not fear death during normal life. Next is to not fear it in the presence of a great threat. And the last is during the actual process of dying. Each stage is harder than the previous.

If you want to do it naturally, combining prolonged water fasting and endurance exercise is the way.

I once lost 18 lb in 10 days with it. I am already quite lean so I stopped.

You have to build up to it. Both in terms of walking or slow running long distances and being fat adapted. I started with intermittent fasting, omad etc.

Reminds me of an episode of House md. A 17 year old girl finds Dr House really attractive, hits on him really hard and starts stalking him.
