Is this real or a joke? It reads like the “if you don’t use the turn signal the car doesn’t turn” meme.
I had this experience but in an airplane. I love my steam deck.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's one thing your learned at college/university that blew your mind?
20·5 months agoIt has been proven that each mathematical reasoning system* either has a statement that cannot be proven true or false, or a statement that can be proven both true or false. In simpler terms, it has been proven that we can’t prove everything.
Gödels incompleteness theorem if anyone wants to look it up.
- only holds for reasoning systems that can reason about numbers

There is something wrong with your unit conversion to cm there. That, or you dated a horse.
My parents were rather strict with the music lessons, which I did sometimes resent at the time. These days I’m grateful as I couldn’t imagine not being able to just play the music that’s in my head. My parents a little less so, as they have heard “enough Prokofiev for a lifetime”, and my polyrhythms make them feel like they have a “heart attack”.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Turing Test, enshrined by the public and media as THE test of machine intelligence, really isn't.English
223·1 year agoI am sceptical of this thought experiment as it seems to imply that what goes on within the human brain is not computable. For reference: every single physical effect that we have thus far discovered can be computed/simulated on a Turing machine.
The argument itself is also riddled with vagueness and handwaving: it gives no definition of understanding but presumes it as something that has a definite location, and also it may well be possible that taking the time to run the program inevitably causes understanding of Chinese after even the first word returned. Remember: executing these instructions could take billions of years for the presumably immortal human in the room, and we expect the human to be so thorough that they execute each of the trillions of instructions without error.
Indeed, the Turing test is insufficient to test for intelligence, but the statement that the Chinese room argument tries to support is much, much stronger than that. It essentially argues that computers can’t be intelligent at all.

News@lemmy.world•Cards Against Humanity offers payouts to new swing-state voters, responding to Musk's PAC
2·1 year agoDo you think I’m calling you deranged in the first comment? Honestly? That’s your take from what I’ve written?
On the off chance that you’re serious, let me explain it to you.
-
If someone reads about cah doing something, and they are like “well I guess that’s normal now” they are deranged.
-
You can’t account for deranged people.
-
We should not take into account what these people think.
For all non deranged people this draws attention to and de-normalises the practice. I’m not the first person in your own replies explaining this to you.

1·1 year agoNeither of these are claims about what you said? The second one isn’t even a claim? I was and am genuinely confused as to what you’re trying to say?

1·1 year ago“You keep claiming I said things I never said”
That’s… literally not something I did. You’re literally claiming I said things I didn’t by saying I claim you said things you didn’t. I never claimed anything about what you said.

6·1 year agoSo are you saying cah can’t do this because it may be misinterpreted by utterly deranged people? Should we just give up then? Anything can be misinterpreted if the interpreter is deranged enough.
Also, I don’t know what you mean with “a rising elevator hasn’t already risen” but such an elevator would experience infinite jolt and would thus be physically impossible, except maybe if the elevator was a photon or something.

It’s not quite strictly worse; some older games are easier to run in wine than natively. But your point still stands.
No we have a better plan





I got sick with a 40+ degree fever. My lower voice is fine, but my higher voice has been ravaged for weeks. I also had a cough that lasted for about 3 weeks. No idea if it was covid as tests are not as easily available here anymore.
