In the age of A.I., and in software programming in general, it’s often the opposite.
Where I am in AUS, it seems to be crane rental. I guess pretty easy just to invoice out a days rental and sit around doing nothing.

A few years back, I moved into an old farmhouse in the countryside. It was peaceful, except for the noises that would come from the attic every night, a soft thumping like someone walking around. After a couple of sleepless nights, I finally mustered the courage to check it out.
I climbed up to the attic with a flashlight. It was full of dusty old furniture and trinkets, probably from previous tenants. As I was examining a pile of old newspapers, my flashlight caught something - a pair of eyes glowing in the dark, staring right back at me. I nearly dropped the flashlight in shock. As I shone the light in the direction, I found an old portrait of a woman. The eyes were eerily lifelike. I convinced myself it was just the way the light was hitting it.
The noises didn’t stop, but I learned to live with them. But the weirdest part was when I left the house a 6 months later. The movers came to get my stuff, and I told them to leave everything in the attic, I’d Grabe those items myself. I mainly needed movers for the big heavy stuff. Later, when I returned to pick up some remaining items, the portrait was gone.
To this day, I still can’t figure out where it could have gone, why just that. Probably some completely logical explanation, but it still gives me chills when I think about it.
Hmm. If it needs to be live, something like red pill media may have japanese content.
I have a similar problem wanting to watch Dutch and German TV. I just gave in and found a couple of good Usenet indexers for each Language, and just host a plex media library for both. With a radarr container for each language.
I find that even with the best diffusion models, replication and character sets are virtually impossible. Also text does not work.
Do you need to watch them live?
Nah. I like the bullet points. Clear tell us always the opening sentences. If it’s helpful it’s helpful. If not. It’s not. I pay for gpt4, so if I haven’t used my quota, I like to use it answering questions.
Lemmy is a federated social network, similar to Mastodon, where anyone can create and run their own instance. This means it's not centrally controlled by one entity. The reasons for having many instances include:
1. Decentralization: This reduces the power of any single entity over the entire network and prevents any central point of failure. If one instance goes down, others are unaffected. This design also helps resist censorship because content moderation is handled individually by each instance.
2. Community autonomy: Each instance can form its own unique community with its own rules and norms. This can promote diversity of thought and freedom of expression, as different communities can have different standards and policies.
3. Privacy and security: Having separate instances can provide a higher degree of privacy and security. The admin of an instance only has access to data from their instance, not the entire network.
Regarding the concern of popular instances becoming like Reddit, it's worth noting that decentralization inherently provides a counterbalance. If an instance becomes too dominant or its policies become unpopular, users can migrate to or create a new instance. In the end, the federated nature of Lemmy allows for a much more democratic and user-driven online community.
Does anyone else find absolute silence difficult to deal with? In particular difficult to sleep in complete silence?
I think it started from a young age, being obsessed with music. Falling asleep with music.
As an adult, I still struggle with this and need some form of audio to drift off, be it music or something else.
More recently, I find stand-up comedy works best - it's light-hearted and doesn't require too much thought.
It seems Ben and Jerry's may be next in the firing line after they made waves with a provocative 4th of July tweet claiming the US is on stolen Indigenous land. Could we witness a downturn similar to Bud Light?
Or is their irresistibly good ice cream strong enough to keep their ship afloat?
Edit: Side note - in the absence of B&J, what ice cream are you turning to? I’m in AUS. So B&J was a game changer. Not anything else like it that I’m aware of.
I have a thing about buying a special guitar from the month and year of my children’s birth. Something to pass down to them on their 21st birthday. They may hate music, who knows, but I think it’s still a cool thing to have. Hopefully it reminds them of me.

I’m curious, does anybody else sit down in the shower. (That’s right not a typo. Sitters, not shitters)
This started for me when I was younger, usually when I was nursing a gnarly hangover. The warm water beating down on me was a solace and sitting just made it feel all the more comforting. Though I’m sure it’s not the most hygienic.
Over the years, it's evolved into a ritual, now my preferred way to unwind and relax. So much so, I’m building a concrete bench seat in the shower, with a custom shower head above it, as part of our bathroom renovations. (Similar to the pic)
I'm curious if anyone else has a similar routine. Do you find it therapeutic too? Any particular reason why you started?
I continuously grapple with this intricate web of thought that intertwines infinity, atomic structure, and consciousness. It's predicated on the assumption that if time truly is infinite, then there isn't just a probability, but an inevitability, that all the matter in the universe will align exactly as they are now.
(I posted this over at c/stonerthoughts, where it will inevitably die without a single interaction, but this is an ongoing pervasive thought I have, and i just wanted to put it out there for more eyes to see.)
This possibility stems from the Poincaré recurrence theorem, a principle in mathematics and physics which suggests that certain systems will, given a sufficiently long but finite time, return to a state almost identical to their initial state. Now, if we consider the universe to be such a system, it implies that given infinite time, every atomic configuration that has ever occurred will inevitably reoccur.
Now, let's venture deeper. If our consciousness is an emergent property of a specific atomic arrangement, then the recurrence of that atomic arrangement implies the recurrence of that conscious experience. Hence, if we're bound to this specific arrangement of matter, and time is infinite, are we not then destined to relive this conscious experience an infinite number of times?
The implications are staggering. It suggests a form of cosmic reincarnation, a cyclic existence governed not by spiritual dogma but by the immutable laws of the universe.
My next step is trying to figure out how this concept could integrate with the theory of an afterlife. Also the infinite nature of the individuals conscience, being the observer and therefore the centre of their own universe.
What's your take on this perspective? How does it change your understanding of consciousness, existence, and our role within this infinite cosmic dance?

Hello, everyone.
I'm looking to kickstart my community, realcompetitions, with a fun, recurring challenge. I'm eager to hear your ideas on what it should entail. The best idea will be rewarded with a humble but exciting 0.02 ETH.(excl fees)
Here’s what I’d like the concept to include:
- Recurring Nature: The challenge should be designed to run either weekly or monthly. If the prize isn't won during one round, it will roll over and add to the jackpot for the next.
- Fair Play: The concept should inherently discourage any form of rigging, ensuring a fair and engaging experience for all players.
- Unique and Engaging: The idea should be original, captivating, and should drive players to return and play again.
I can't wait to see the innovative concepts you'll come up with! And how big we can grow the community/challenges.
Additionally, I could use some assistance with moderating the community if it grows. If you're interested, please let me know.
Just so everyone is aware, all prizes come directly from my own pocket. While they may not be huge, my aim is simply to encourage and boost community engagement.
Looking forward to hearing your ideas. Peace and love! ✌️💛
I didn’t…….
