Anyway, sometimes my brain creates really sad scenarios, and I play out my reactions to these scenarios, and it makes me really upset, but it's like I'm trying to prepare myself for every possibility even though it's both impossible and destructive.
Seeking eggplant recipe ideas, as I have one limp eggplant in the fridge and 8 eggplants growing in hydroponics (which may produce a massive amount of eggplant).
So far my repertoire includes 2 dishes:
Eggplant Parmesan (Italian)
Eggplant in Garlic Sauce (Chinese)
(the family hates eggplant, except me, so we never eat it 🤔 )
@ai6yr Very weird. People are so confusing. Meanwhile my teeny backyard has two meyer lemon trees, a satsuma orange, a smol, productive granny smith apple tree, a huuuuge fig and a raised box with tomatoes, and a fennel patch for butterflies. 🌱🌿🍋🍏
"an mRNA cancer vaccine developed at the University of Florida successfully reprogrammed patients’ immune systems to fiercely attack glioblastoma, the most aggressive and lethal brain tumor" through "...use of a patient’s own tumor cells to create a personalized vaccine...."
FUCK CANCER. And let's see anti-vaxxers reject this one.
Gouvernement Hollande, loi Macron, loi travail: le PS.
Le PS donc qui impose de manière anti-démocratique (sans vote) des lois qui viennent diminuer les droits sociaux des salariés (35h, protection garantie par le droit du travail, CDI...)
La gauche c'est simple, c'est des anticapitalistes.
(ce que le PS a abandonné)
"ChatGPT consumes a lot of energy in the process, up to 25 times more than a Google search. Additionally, a lot of water is also used in cooling for the servers that run all that software. Per conversation of about 20 to 50 queries, half a litre of water evaporates – a small bottle, in other words."
AI is predicted to consume twice as much energy as the whole of France by 2030
Training GPT3, took 1,287 MWh (Megawatt hours) of electricity.
@ioana while I'm thinking of it - one of the questions @ppk surfaced was instant payments vs. contributions being collected and processed monthly.
The monthly one would allow for review to see where your money is going, and maybe change your settings for the next month - or cancelling a month's payments because money is tight for some reason, etc.
What would also be cool would be an inert mode where you could test without committing to pay for a month or other period to see who would get what.

I remember prolog - one of the research groups at Uni used it to model some British legislation. They struggled with counterfactuals. "If your grandfather had been alive in 1970, would he have been a British citizen?" required them to build a whole duplicate ruleset with a resurrected grandfather to answer the question, capture the result in the current rules then then discard the alternate universe before carrying on. ;-)
@kravietz They also had a sign over their door saying "abandon all Hope ye who enter here" as a dig at the other group who were working on a transputer friendly functional language called Hope.
@pauldrye@thomasfuchs this is literally an attempt at variolation, the low-tech precursor go vaccination - which would be considered unconscionable today due to the extreme risks involved.
Worse, it's being done as self medication. At least in the early modern era it was done under medical supervision. And still lots of people died, variolation reduced overall deaths from diseases but killed lots of the people receiving the treatment. In contrast vaccination associated deaths are near zero.
@joel And how's the hardware? I just went to pick up mine and had forgotten that the included battery is borked and need to buy a new one :') Is manual intervention required? XD
