The entity formerly known as Quantum Device trying to swim the fediverse…
Every empire has those aspirations.
There are many ways to achieve it through the complex relationships between countries and societies (e.g. soft power, cultural influence, militar control, etc) but an empire willing to try it at any cost with any means will always succeed for longer as an empire…
The same country would lend a nuke to Iran? What a timeline…
You are right, thanks! I misread the graph and thought it was a 4 cycles per day, which was puzzling me, but is indeed just a daily oscillation
Intrigued by the quarter a day oscillation in that graph… 🤔
These are already large and big enough to hate them… last thing I want is extravolume/weight. Also, I paid for the neat experience and I am going to enjoy it till the end…
Not to mention that plan and engagement of the NYT story is purely based on writers and potential readers relating to such fact, behave as if it is something worth of mentioning in a story in the first place borders hypocrisy… they forgot their first time got access to unlimited internet
I liked the pareidolia :D
Hate and Love, sure…
Well, there is probably some survival/confirmation bias on that statistics, those answers are the funny ones… in any case probably is not necessary a LLM to state such statements
A LLM can “reveal” also that water ice melts into mapple syrup given the proper prompts, if people already can (consciously and not) lie proportionally to their biases I don’t understand why would somebody treat a LLM output as a fact…
My name Is Nobody (Il mio nome è Nessuno)
I would prefer any ActivityPub instance, but press media (and in general private entities), to which scientific institutes intend diffusion, is moving to bluesky…
It was already soooooo dead out there that I doubt they considered this systematic properly in the study…
The problem is that the tariff you support with ends in the wrong pockets…
When reading the title I accidentally placed an ‘i’ in ‘ads’…
The “True Facts About Microsoft” and Zefrank reference got me :D
I think many more than those listed are being widely used nowadays.
I think is easy to find also Japanese myths (mostly the oni/demon kind) in general and some Chinese-like ones… I found at least in one game (Genshin Impact) an attempt to use also Central American pre-Columbine mythology also and some Polynesian one (even Disney did it). African ones (below sub-Sahara ones) in general are the next less used, together other American pre-Columbine ones. Yet, the vudú-like ones (a mix of African and Caribbean ones) are quite messed up together any zombie-like archetype… and I do not know, but Lovecraft-like ones can be also found often, even not being traditional myths… and I founded many references to Babylonians and early Indo-Iranian myths, specially those linked to demons and witchcraft… and this remind me of references to druid and Keltic-like myths, which somehow permeate (comics-then-Hollywood and other artistic sources have used them). Oh, I also found frequent references to Hindu-like ones. I think the list of commonly used mythologies is already reaaaaaally large.
Mentioned all the above… I am not aware of a rich one not influenced somehow by any of the already mentioned ones, but I am fan of regional paganisms which hide many interesting dark links that predates history.
If I remember correctly is the same adaptation of this eye parasite of Greenland sharks, they only grow in one of the two sensors so the parasited animal is not terribly compromised and still can thrive enough to complete the life cycle of the parasite
