Not The Onion@lemmy.world•House committee advances bill to ban chemtrailsEnglish
31·2 days agoNo it isn’t.
They claim the recent floods were because of chemtrails from planes seeding in the sky (those trails of water vapour you see behind planes, ), based on aluminium found on the ground (cloud seeding is done with silver iodide btw and is incredibly expensive).
Stop trying to downplay it.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Thanks a lot, AI: Hard drives are already sold out for the entire year, says Western DigitalEnglish
6·5 days agoSorry no, the CEO is lying.
What the financial accounts show is that orders for the calendar year have been filled. Orders are NOT sales.
The company prepares a manufacturing budget for the year and has to fill the orders usually by March, otherwise the budget needs to be redrafted.
It is normal for orders to be filled by this time of the year.
Orders can be withdrawn, and frequently are, the buyer has to pay a financial penalty but they usually just add this to their sales price.
The other BS story about only 5% of sales going to consumers is also a lie. Most sales are to PC manufacturers and merchants, that is not AI firms - there are NO hard drives in data centres, they are miles too slow !

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Even when I'm mocking AI bros, they don't get it
11·5 days agoFrom the context, it seems to be a question which answer isn’t easily verifiably. So it is a question unsuitable for LLMs
Have you ever used a chatbot ? , the fact that an answer is unverifiable doesn’t stop them answering at all.

You have tried with the Ram and only one hard drive?

Do children ever even use their computers in school ?
