I mean I thought thorium reactors were figured out already? The economics of it and lobbying by big oil was the problem. It ain’t that surprising that China could make a thorium reactor though.

The hackers who took 4chan down come from an imageboard known as soyjak.party or “the sharty”. They are unironically, in terms of politics, more far right, and in terms of culture, far worse than 4chan from what I’ve heard and seen from the website.

Bluesky has a lot of artists. Posting this video here: https://youtu.be/I4mdMMu-3fc

Which community on the .ml instance did you post this on?

Basically, although base intelligence/smartness perhaps has two parameters that make it? Effort and speed. Everyone can put in a bit more effort, but base speed may be baked in, unless one trains it, and max reachable base speed will depend from person to person. Hell if I know, we haven’t really created a definitive definition for intelligence yet.

Edit Addendum: As for what can be considered dumb or smart? I agree, lack of effort can be considered “dumb”. Though the word dumb is a bit broad. I guess we can say many people are, out of habit, “intellectually heedless”

I’m of the opinion that most people aren’t dumb, but rather most don’t put in the requisite intellectual effort to actually reach accurate or precise or nuanced positions and opinions. Like they have the capacity to do so! They’re humans after all, and us humans can be pretty smart. But a brain accustomed to simply taking the path of least resistance is gonna continue to do so until it is forced(hopefully through their own action) to actually do something harder.

Put succinctly: They can think, yet they don’t.

What makes you say that?

Tbh, I’m more worried about their advances in EUV lithography. Still around 5-10 years away, but still.

Free will, fate, and randomness all play a role in our universe, each parameter affecting each other. There is no such thing as absolute free will, nor does absolute determinism guide our universe, nor does absolute randomness. I think however, that our closest understanding to the inherent nature of our universe is a form of randomness.

Is it really that complex? The API fiasco had me moving here, and I’ll tell you right now, I ain’t the tech savviest.

Just call it Floh Market or just Floh. Flow Market or Just “Flow” would be good too.

You guys all downloaded offline versions of Wikipedia…right?

Could do something like discord. Rather than communities, you have “micro instances” existing on top of the larger instance, and communities existing within the micro instances. And of course make it so that making micro instances are easier to create.

Wouldn’t we have to terraform that shit too? We can probably send a probe out there or some shit, maybe the “Breakthrough Starshot” concept would be able to do it in a few hundred years or some shit

Deny that you know or even saw them. Defend them if they do get caught, through protest, fundraising, bail, etc. Depose those who put them in jail if they are sentenced.

Quick! Create an instance called Lemmy.eXodus!

Which ones do you think are of most importance? This fascist regime is likely to be christofascist, so that’s a valid concern. Nag Hammadi library with its heretical gnostic texts for example is likely to be preserved given it has copies in other countries.

I wonder if they’re on here too?

I mean…bro was just giving an opinion man. He didn’t even really say that much originally. I think claiming the “superiority” of something online alot of the times is vibes based. That ain’t necessarily bad though. Are people not allowed to give more generalized or vague opinions?

I mean, I feel most people who lost money were doing “options trading”, basically full on gambling/speculation. If you had put that money in an s&p500 index fund, chances of losing money are slim.
