Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What does "Posts older than 365 days will be removed." mean exactly?
1·il y a 3 joursYou’d need to ask the specific mods for each group or instance where you found this notice since there’s to my knowledge no such thing that’s implemented across the fediverse.

Technology@lemmy.world•‘Apple is getting this wrong,’ says OpenAI — startup blasts iPhone maker over lawsuit alleging it stole confidential information through ex-Apple employeesEnglish
2·il y a 3 joursWhenever I see the word “OpenAI”, I substitute it with “my cat” and the world makes a little more sense.
For example:
‘Apple is getting this wrong,’ says my cat — startup blasts iPhone maker over lawsuit alleging it stole confidential information through ex-Apple employees
Also, AI with Assumed Intelligence and LLM with Unsupervised Text Extruders.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•How much streaming services pay musicians per stream
1·il y a 5 joursThis is meaningless without sources.
For the majority of the global population that’s a day late, we’re already dealing with Friday.
There’s a point at which human eyesight and brain processing just can’t tell. I mean, for most of the last century we’ve been flashing stills onto a white screen at the rate of 24 frames per second and we called it a movie.
In my experience, actual 4k is pretty close to “real” from a resolution perspective, but field of view needs work.
I’ve never worn 1080p goggles, but I suspect that it’s getting remarkably close to good enough.
At some point adding more pixels seems like a waste of energy.
I don’t know where exactly that point is, but I’d be surprised if it was anywhere near 32k.

Amateur Radio@lemmy.radio•How LoRa (ExpressLRS) Drone Receivers Work
1·il y a 9 joursStarting with a disclaimer, I don’t know, what follows is speculation only.
I suspect that the only requirement is that the slope of the chirp at encoding and decoding is the same.
Ultimately, it’s used to remove noise in relation to a reference level.
I haven’t had an opportunity to do the math to confirm this and I’ve bookmarked a few LoRa videos to see if they get into the mechanics, but I’m not holding my breath.
Edit: This video seems to explain things pretty well.

Privacy@lemmy.world•Clinic demands my address and phone number - can I refuse? [Australia]English
1·il y a 15 joursWhat happens if you cite privacy concerns?
I’m asking because my clinic refuses to email or phone me, instead sending letters to my PO Box. Finding a different clinic hasn’t been successful yet either.
That would be funny.
Did someone from another table take a group photo at your request?
Apparently we had umami fries with erotic mayonnaise last night. Might have to tell the chef to update their menu.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Interview via MS Teams? How about NO.
21·il y a 15 joursAround the turn of the century I built a “middleware” layer for an Oracle to MySQL bridge which enabled legacy systems to keep running while modern and open source tooling could be built.
The biggest challenge was moving from columnar to row based data … that and compiling Solaris tools using Oracle libraries.
Oracle is like sendmail, user friendly, just very picky whom it makes friends with.
I’m getting flashbacks to debugging an Oracle connection file.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How can AI act without initial human input? Does this show AI can have freewill or am I deceived?
71·il y a 15 joursThis is OpenAI marketing.
The fact that it’s being reported on every media outlet on the planet, means that they were successful.

I wonder why the visualisation wasn’t made so it rotates continuously in an endless loop, or is Voyager acting up?
