amelia@feddit.deto Videos@lemmy.world•Dashcam footage clears man of felony charge after showing constable injuring himself11·1 year agoOk but don’t you at least have to stop and check on the injured person? I mean even if it’s an accident, you’re obliged to stop and help, aren’t you? Is that just a Europe thing? I’m not American, but it would seem like a very basic rule to agree on.
amelia@feddit.deto Videos@lemmy.world•Dashcam footage clears man of felony charge after showing constable injuring himself321·1 year agoWait, wait, wait. When the video starts showing the constable, he is already holding his leg out in front of him, as if to force the driver to stop. No kicking motion can be seen in the video. So it’s legal to just hit someone who is holding his leg out in front of your car (however stupid that may be), injure him seriously and then just drive away?!
According to Wikipedia, the lethal dose of table salt is 0.5-1g/kg, not 10 as stated in the post.
These numbers look very questionable. Twice as much salt as alcohol to kill someone? I’m sorry but I call bullshit.
Ok this made me laugh out loud. Good job.

It’s a pretty specific demand when bluetooth headphones have become really good and actually have a lot of advantages compared to wired ones. Also there is always the option to use a USB C dongle so it’s really not that big of a deal.

amelia@feddit.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a dayEnglish2·1 year agoIt is mine. There is a room with each tenant’ washing machine in the basement and that is a typical situation in Germany.
amelia@feddit.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a dayEnglish3·1 year agoNot trying to defend stupid internet connectivity but my washing machine is in the basement in a shared laundry room while I live on the second floor of the apartment building. No way I’ll hear it beep so a notification would be very useful actually. This is a very common situation in Europe where a lot of people live in rental apartments.
The problem is rather that there needs to be WiFi access in the laundry room.

amelia@feddit.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk's X gets another valuation cut from FidelityEnglish2·2 years agoIn Europe, the chocolate bar “Twix” was called “Raider” until the 1990s or so. When they changed the name, they ran a famous ad campaign with the slogan “Raider is now called Twix!” which is still not only remembered but even became an ironic saying (at least in Germany) for when things (try to make it) seem like they change but they actually stay the same.
So… Twitter is now obviously called Twix for me.

amelia@feddit.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overratedEnglish1·2 years agoI’ve had exactly this discussion with a friend recently. I share your opinion, he shared what seems to be the view of the majority here. I just don’t see what the qualitative difference between the brain and a data-based AI would be. It almost seems to me like people have problems accepting the fact that they’re not more than biological machines. Like there must be something that makes them special, that gives them some sort of “soul” even when it’s in a non-religious and non-spiritual way. Some qualitative difference between them and the computer. I don’t think there necessarily is one. Look at how many things people get wrong. Look at how bad we are at simple logic sometimes. We have a better sense of some things like plausibility because we have a different set of experiences that is rooted in our physical life. I think it’s entirely possible that we will be able to create robots that are more similar to human beings than we’d like them to be. I even think it’s possible that they would have qualia. I just don’t see why not.
I know that there is a debate about machine learning AI and symbolic AI. I’m not an expert to be fair, but I have not seen any possible explanation as to why only symbolic AI would be “true” AI, even though many people seem to believe that.

amelia@feddit.deto Technology@lemmy.world•Unauthorized “David Attenborough” AI clone narrates developer’s life, goes viralEnglish32·2 years agoI honestly kind of doubt that. It’s too good.
I think this is intentional. They want you to take time looking at the pictures so you might think “you know what, actually I’d like some of those fries as well” by making it hard to just quickly select what you want and leave.
I wouldn’t even be surprised if there’s a psychological effect where you feel like ordering more makes this tedious ordering process more worthy. I mean why go through 2 minutes of clicking and waiting just for one stupid cheeseburger.
