This movie is one of my first core memories. I distinctly remember standing on the movie theater seats cheering with my brother when they played the “The Touch” and my mom smacking us and telling us to sit down.

I also remember Optimus Prime cussing in that movie (“damn”?) and being shocked - but now I can’t find it when searching. So maybe I made that part up?

Lol I was about to say, that’s “pretty reasonably” dressed"?

This has got to be AI, right?

Sometimes Lemmy posts line up in perfect coincidences and it freaks me out a little.

I’ve only hit Ante 13 so far. I’ve got a looong way to go!

In Joe’s defense, Balatro is fucking dope

I wouldn’t really call it “logic”.

Yeah, I wonder about that though. Do you know what childhood vaccines you got? Does your current doctor have a record? I feel like when I was an adult and established care, I had to fill out some forms myself and just say “yeah I got the standard vaccine schedule.” If my mom had objected to some random vaccine and didn’t tell me, I probably would have no clue.

My neighbor won’t let her kids get it because of a weird mix of antivax sentiment that sprang up when Biden became president - and also because HPV can be sexually transmitted and she doesn’t want her kids having premarital sex.

Could you imagine getting cancer because your mom is a moron? Those poor kids.

I always struggle with this during garage sales. Most of the time, I don’t even want money for my stuff. I just want it to go to someone who needs it.

But if you put a FREE sign on anything, people will just scoop it up, throw it in a truck already loaded with other free stuff, and take it to the flea market to sell.

It shouldn’t bother me, since the people selling stuff at the flea market usually are pretty poor themselves and probably need to make money. But it just irks me that instead of a mom getting free clothes for her kids, that mom would instead have to buy them at a markup instead.

The problem with AI is that they cannot increase the prices enough to be profitable.

I saw something about the SpaceX IPO that said for it to be justified at that price, everyone on earth with some sort of money (they defined it as earning at least $14,000/year) had to become an xAI consumer and spend $28,000/year. Seems reasonable /s

I was talking to one of our cloud architects at work yesterday. They did a test and just ran in “asdf” to a chat prompt, and were able to trace the costs. It was 12 cents.

I could totally see AI costs getting out of control very quickly. Doing something like a Copilot formula in an Excel spreadsheet is easily going to run up hundreds of dollars of costs eventually.

While working on some client code, my coworker and I came across a case statement that said something like

if myBoolean == TRUE
then blah
else if myBoolean == FALSE
then blah blah
else if myBoolean is null
then blah blah blah

Ever since we’ve always laughed at the “trinary bit”.

Seeing Obi-Wan in a suit is weird as hell

This just reminded me of a funny story about a North Korean refuge who had escaped to South Korea. She was trying to figure out how buses worked and would stare at people getting on the bus to figure out how they paid.

She said that she noticed everyone would just kind of bump there butt on a sensor when they got on. Not knowing that something like contactless payment existed, she assumed that it must have just been some weird cultural thing that she didn’t fully understand.

So she worked up the courage to board a bus and just bumped her butt against the sensor. Obviously it didn’t do anything and the bus driver must have thought she was crazy.

Lol that’s why the line was so long in the first place. Probably half the people in that line did the same thing.

There’s gotta be some way to figure it out. Lemvotes.org can lookup the user votes on posts and comments, so there’s gotta be a way to query the database and sort by comment score across instances.
