“No, the fact you’re fat makes you look fat—the dress just makes you look blue.” was a reply one of my friends who worked in retail gave to a customer once. He does not work in retail any more.

World News@lemmy.world•Australians could soon live and work in EU freely, with the same rules applying for EU citizens in Australia, as part of long-awaited trade dealEnglish
7·4 days agoIt already is—it’s been much easier for Australians to move freely round Europe for some time. We have friends with dual uk / au passports, and they always use their au docs when travelling in Europe.
Yes it’s more the image viewer I was referring to not the feed view. I worked a bit with the Arctic developer to get it just how I like it, so I guess I’m a bit biased :) But I’ll write it up and see what others think.
I use GitHub a lot so happy to post there. And I’ll post here re ideas. My biggest ‘miss’ from Arctic was the excellent image handling (from a UX perspective). I think they had that just right and would love to see it work that way on Mlem.

You can’t have a joint credit card account. It has to be in one person’s name.

3·18 days agoOh sure. The training data is about 5mb so easily manageable on a relatively modern machine, but not on the kind of thing that was used for ELIZA.

But also you absolutely can learn & build small versions of LLMs on a regular laptop. I did it on my old 2017 Dell XPS, and trained it on the complete works of Shakespeare. It learnt to write almost passable Shakespeare hallucination in a couple of hours. There’s a good tutorial online if you search for it.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%English
11·22 days agoA 99% reduction from $2.9 billion is $29 million. On the scale from $0 to $29 million, $7,386 is much closer to $0, so it’s more accurate to say the deal was cut by 100% unless you want to quote it with several decimal places.
It’s 99.9997% to 4 places.

This guy resists.
Tbh, “I know nothing on the subject” ought to be enough. :)
