Is Mr Beast a good person?

I know this is going to sound like some clickbait bullshit title, but I’m genuinely curious, asking in good faith. My two oldest sons are enamored with him, and he seems like a genuine guy, so I’m asking - is he a nice guy? If you google the question, you get a bunch of reddit hate, which I don’t always trust,...

i look forward to seeing this suggestion in shitty google ai overviews in the future.

Chain restaurant fees are getting absurd

I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I'm naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It's literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits....

If by alpha you mean a broken, unstable mess unsuitable for production, then yes, Trump is an alpha.

Commenting across instances

If I registered at lemmy.world, is it possible to still comment on a thread at say lemmy.ml? I get the expected "You are not logged in" and while subscribing is easy enough, I'm not able to comment or interact with other instances. This seems normal as users are unique per instance, I just want to make sure I'm not missing a key...

I made a simple sanding block for my own use. (lemmy.world)

All the sanding blocks I have seen are the nut and bolt type, but i found myself wanting something more of just a … block. No adjusting, loosening, tightening, moving, just wrap your sandpaper around an edge and go. So I spent 15 minutes in FreeCAD and made one. So far it’s working great....

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads (www.techradar.com)

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

I’m certainly no desktop developer, but I would imagine a native application gives you access to more intrusive data than a browser, especially considering modern browser protections. Just a theory though

Jan. 6 Situation Room Officer Reveals Trump Fans ‘Came That Close’ To Murdering VP In Stunning New Interview (www.mediaite.com)

Former White House Situation Room officer Mike Stiegler revealed that then-President Donald Trump never called down to check on then-Vice President Mike Pence as Trump fans hunted him at the Capitol, and that we were “that close” to losing the VP....

The court could clear the schedule for the day, insisting he go because he was invited, and he still won’t so he can complain about it very publicly. He has no desire to go at all beyond what publicity he can drum up by insisting he can’t. That’s just the way his twisted mind works

Steve Jobs famously believed he could remove mucus from his body, which caused him to stink. No mucus, no body odor. His entire life, when people told him he stinks, he would reply that wasn’t possible because he removed that which caused body odor.

A tale as old as time. Even back in Vietnam, we were pulling the same shit.

Willard: “It was the way we had over here of living with ourselves. We’d cut them in half with a machine gun and give them a Band-Aid. It was a lie—and the more I saw of them, the more I hated lies.”

Data scientist here! In addition to the data points others have mentioned, there is actually a lot more data available than you would think in the form of metadata. We call the process feature engineering - essentially building a set of inputs that help determine an output, or prediction. How long you spend in the app, how long you stay on a screen before changing, how long you view a TikTok before swiping, which of the default settings you change, into what, all of this is used in machine learning models to help build a more accurate advertiser profile for you. Even if you don’t volunteer data about yourself, your behavior in a way informs on you, even if you don’t realize it. Through inference, a machine learning model could accurately deduce your age based on your behavior, for example.

If YouTube was too long and TikTok was too short, yours could be just right.

You could call it Goldilokk
