Thank you. English was indeed turned off for some crazy reason.

I did check for Undetermined before making this topic… But I forgot to scroll down also check English lol.

It looks like everything is working again.

On the other hand, openly admitting to monetizing AI slop?

We don’t need this here. Banned for 5 days.

This article is junk if you took the time to read it. It was a waste of my time to evaluate it. The reason I don’t want to ban AI slop is because not everyone has the skills to tell slop or not slop.

But if you are the fucking source of this shit? Get the fuck out of here. You are not welcome here.

Heterogenous scheduler support for big.LITTLE CPUs seems like a big deal to me, especially with the Advent of P+E core Intels.

Lemmy.world is my ‘main’ name. I’ve made a secondary lemmy.ca account when Lemmy.world once had some technical issues a few years ago. So lemmy.ca is still me but I don’t check it often at all!

Well that’s the funny part now isn’t it?

Increasingly, the investors are other AI companies. NVidia, Microsoft, Facebook. Be it directly (ie: Microsoft buying half of OpenAI), or indirectly (Special Purpose Vehicle creates a new Data center and Facebook pays to be an owner of that and then the Datacenter pays Facebook for AI or some shit).

From people? No.

From AI. AI companies have seemingly infinite money (not really but investor sentiment is huge and investors are happy giving more and more money to AI). And banks are willing to lend money to AI. And there’s new financial instruments (special purpose vehicle) allowing even more money to come out of investors.

This ends after AI runs out of money. But they are funded by the biggest tech bros with $Trillions in valuation.

Be careful with the plastic spatula used to flip your eggs I guess.

Except you know, plastic isn’t a real chemical. There’s polyethylene, polypropylene, polyurethane, and silicone… of which there are food grade versions and non food grade versions of said plastics (and many thousands of formulations).

Anyone bullshitting with scare words like ‘Plastic’ are immediately discounted by me. Real scientists are at least specific with their terminology and not using weasel words that have effectively no meaning in a serious discussion

Meanwhile my buddy gets fucking arsenic poisoning and there’s not even a ruckus about it at all. Do you know what a REAL poisoning is like?

Ultraprocessed bullshit word by Make America Healthy Again bullshitters.

They think a can of corn is ultraprocessed. When in actuality it is just boiled corn in a can. The sooner the health food bullshitters are exposed for the crap they are, the sooner we get rid of RFK Jr. And his team of bullshit health advice.

We need to stop it with the fake science… And start to favor real science again.

Any methodology that labels canned corn and canned spinach as evil/unhealthy but labels fucking Five Guys as healthy is fully bullshit. Period.

We are on the 25th month?

Anki is far more grueling than beginners realize. And it’s very difficult to predict future work.

Adding new word isn’t just work today (maybe 5+ viewings to get Anki to make you think you’ve learned the word…), it’s also multiple showings over tomorrow, later this week and more.

You must change your words/day to something that is doable. Keep an eye on your Anki usage, if it’s longer than you want then cut down on your new words/day until you master your current review set.

And always be careful with the new words button. It’s more work to learn 20 words than you might realize, so don’t double or triple it to 40 or 60!!!

20 words/day is about 30 minutes of Anki for me, because 80 reviews + 20 new words == 100 cards. But I need around 300 flips to finish Anki.

That’s 30 minutes of Anki in practice (a card flip averaging 6 seconds, 10 cards per minute and yes 30 minutes/day).

If I drop down to 0 new words/day, I still have the 80 reviews per day (at least until those old words are mastered). Eventually I get quicker and Anki believes I’ve learned the words but it can take literally days before your workload decreases.

You must also remember that Anki / Flashcards is rote memorization. Its your “brute force cudgel”. You can never truly reach mastery with Anki alone. Anki is great for spelling practice, pronunciation practice (if you have included real-world audio .mp3 with your flashcards)… and if necessary is a forced German -> English vocabulary memorization tool.

Useful skills yes, but language mastery can only happen with reading, writing, listening and speaking. Aka: “Immersion”. Anki is great because it helps minimize the time spent on flashcards. If you aren’t saving time but instead feel like you’re wasting time, then you need to change Anki settings to something more useful.

Anki has been used to master Jeopardy, and is also becoming a popular tool in the medical community.

Anki may have been invented for language, but its useful for almost any studying.

Another small note on FSRS settings - adjusting the desired retention a little bit can be helpful. Defaults at 90%, turning it down makes review intervals longer, up makes them shorter. For large decks (vocab lists), I prefer it down at mid-high 80s. You want familiarity, not perfection, so less overwhelming reviews can be better.

Depends really. If you are drilling der/das/die genders and spelling, you might want perfection.

But yes, drop the FSRS setting to 80 or even lower for familiarity. If you are focusing on reading/consuming, it’s better to focus on familiarity instead.

But if you are studying writing/speaking, you need to set that retention back up to 90 and also aim for perfection on each card.

In general, 90% is closer to perfection and the highest you typically should go. However, medical students have been known to aim for 95% or higher (!!!) because they want to pass an exam and then forget about it later, lol.

So even going above 90% makes sense for some communities out there.

Medical students are willing to drill 4-hours per day on their subjects and want near 100% memorization in time for their exam. It’s a different kind of learning, but Anki does support that.

I wish Anki existed during my SAT days.

Do you know hard it was to learn 1000+ SAT words without Anki back then? I had to use like, a book. And index cards written by hand. My hand cramped up just writing all those words down.

You’ve got equities, debt and derivatives.

Equities are ownership into shares. These are the simplest to understand. You own a share of a company and thus are entitled to a % of the profits (though most companies today choose 0% as their decision).

Debt means funding… debt. SLABs (student loan backed securities), MBS (mortgage backed securities), bonds (government debt), bank loans etc. etc. These are surprisingly complex in practice but perhaps easiest to understand. There’s lots of different details to debt (callable, puttable, tax free, convertible, coupons, notes, bills, bonds, I-bonds, EBonds, 10Y, 3M, overnight repos). But in all cases, you lend money to someone, and later they try to return it to you + a little extra.

Derivatives (usually options but there are many kinds) are new inventions that are more complex. Ignore these as they are very very complex.

That’s about it.

The general recommendation is to buy an ETF for equities and an ETF for Bonds. ETF is just a combination of simpler investments that you pay 0.04% to 2% a year for convenience.

VOO takes the 500 biggest companies in the USA (aka the S&P 500) and buys mostly the biggest company and a very little bit of #500.

BND is a similar idea except it’s a whole bunch of different debts from across the entire economy.

So buy some equities (mostly equities), some bonds, and leave some cash in a high yield savings account. Done.

Stocks (aka VOO) make the most money on the average, but also loses money the most often.

Bonds (aka BND) makes middle amount of money but rarely loses money.

Cash / savings accounts never lose money (except inflation). But makes very very little. It’s still worthwhile to keep necessarily amounts as cash and this you should always be considering how much cash to keep.

This here is a USB charger. It uses a CPU to figure out if you connected a Samsung Phone for 50W charging, or if it should do the default 2.5W charging profile.

It’s processing power? Uhhh, about 4Million clocks/sec with 640,000 bytes of memory. Oh yeah I guess about 5-million bits.

Oh this other thing? That’s a mouse. It tells the computer if my hand moved forward or backwards or left or right. It runs a fourier transform over an infrared image and memorizes the desk. It performs a full image process / fourier transform 100 times a second to accurately track our hands and clicks. The USB connection is also a network of networks consisting of a ReedSolomon error correction code for reliable transmission at a bit over 10-million baud transfer rate.

Our real computers are doing… Porn. AI generated porn.

Fun fact: USB Chargers have more processing power and RAM than fucking the Lunar Lander / Apollo Space Program. Figuring out if Samsung phone or not-samsung Phone has so much processing power allocated to the task it’s kind of hilarious

Thanks for the clarification.

It could be 10+ years of me misremembering the explanation. The person who told me this was Korean, so it seems more likely that I misremembered than them explaining it wrong.

Someone told me that Oppa means ‘Uncle’, but in the particular district of Gangnam the word Oppa/Uncle also means Pimp.

So it’s basically a song based on a pretty bad pun. I’ll protect you like an uncle, and by Uncle I mean Pimp.

EDIT: English speakers likely would do better with the translation as 'Ill be like a Father to you, a real Las Vegas Pimp Daddy (where Daddy is a word that means Father but has more Pimp connotations, and Las Vegas being famous for legalized prostitution).

It’s definitely debauchery. But we likely have memorials to Austin Powers and other such pop culture icons, so it’s understandable.

In my post I recommended Promised Neverland, Ranking of Kings, and OddTaxi as maybe Zero fanservice.

I’d say that Frieren, Sihate no Paladin (btw: its “Faraway Paladin” in English), Spy x Family as maybe 1/5 or 2/5 fanservice. Tame in the great scheme of things but … its worth discussing.

• Frieren has some “Fern has large breasts” jokes. 1/5 Fanservice, low but there’s some jokes there that might make people uncomfortable especially given that Fern is young.

• Spy x Family has the Sister x Brother thing going on. Discomfort is obviously the point. 2/5 Fanservice.

• The Faraway Paladin had a few uncomfortable jokes I caught regarding Will walking in on Mary. Overall 1/5 but maybe like 3/5 on that one scene and its implications especially how Blood acts afterwards. Maybe I’m just overreacting to that one scene from earlier though but I think that’s exactly the issue that the original poster was talking about. (Like 99% of a show is solid and that weird 1% joke just throws you off with way too much of a sex joke, especially given how tame the rest of the show was). But yeah, aside from like, that one or two scenes (which I’d only rate 3/5 on fanservice in isolation, nothing close to like Kill la Kill), the rest of the show is either 0/5 or 1/5.

• Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta – English name is “My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom”

This is another one. Its largely tame and fun. But there’s a lot of prepubescent blushing, marriage proposals, getting together and dating. There’s the “adopted brother x sister” thing going on though, so I’d have to push the rating to 2/5 at least.

Oh right. For the OPs of the original recommendations / “Zero Fanservice” shows. I define “Zero Fanservice” as Full Metal Alchemist and less. Like there’s a step between typical Gibli films and Full Metal Alchemist, but the fanservice level is so low I can’t imagine any reasonable person complaining about FMA’s level of fanservice. (Lust has a somewhat sexy dress, okay. And that’s about it…)

• Promised Neverland: Orphans (IIRC, 12 years old or so at the start of the show?) discover that there’s dark secrets in their orphanage. They need to escape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB2t5y7ujlg

• Ranking of Kings: Bojji, the 1st Prince and 1st in line to the throne of the Kingdom of Bosse, is deaf, mute, and weak. The sickly Heroic King is worried about what will happen to the kingdom after he dies. The court (especially the Queen) is obviously favoring the stronger 2nd Prince. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5SSAXK6bQE . Classic Fairytale feel and tropes (magic mirrors, emperor has no clothes, blood magic, deals with devils, magical stepmoms, shadow people, etc. etc.)

• Oddtaxi: Murder Mystery / Noir story with a twist. The protagonist is the Taxi Driver with damn good memory. The taxi rides of his customers largely have to do with the murder mystery and leads to the core of the murder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX-Ry1VxeDQ
