We have free doctor visits and everyone I know still doesn’t want to go there, unless the pain is getting really bad. I would say everyone hates doctor visits.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Nobody can ever automate the creation of handmade thingsEnglish
2·3 days agoI think there are things that cannot be automated, or at least not practically. For example, yesterday I saw handmade cat tree scratchers, which were some large branches screwed together.
But I think most of people do care much more about price then producing entity. Handmade products are premium, niche and artistic. But no-one would buy handmade bricks.

Just Post@lemmy.world•It's curious how Russia can't seem to defeat Ukraine, and the US is having so much difficulty with Iran.English
4·7 days agoFirst of all, defending is much more easier than attacking. Also, as said in other comments, Russia isn’t a superpower, wasn’t for a long time. And US is decimating Iran successfully, which is really impressive with how far it is from them. But Iran just isn’t giving up, no matter its citizens or economy. They just try to piss everyone so much that Trump will be forced to give up, even though they are winning militarily.

News@lemmy.world•Iran says strait of Hormuz ‘completely open’ but sounds warning on US blockadeEnglish
4·12 days agoI am still missing some information in the article about what they mean by open. Does it mean ships can pass after paying between the Qeshm and Larak islands? Or between the islands free of charge? Or will they remove all of the mines so the strait would be actually open as it was?
As other comment said, coin flips aren’t random. And it is really hard to find something truly random. For example computer random generators are based on current time, temperature,… which is chaotic enough to give us seemingly random numbers.
If you would have truly random generator, I think, it would be really bad idea to use it. Let’s assume, you would listen to it (otherwise the AI could predict you wouldn’t). Because now you have 50% chance the AI is correct, you would in average get
0.5 * 1000000 + 0.5 * 0 = 500000if choosing only one box and0.5 * 1001000 + 0.5 * 1000 = 501000if choosing both. Each could occure with 50% probability, giving500500on average. Which is for one boxes (and their main argument of average case) just over half of their expected outcome. And for two boxers, choosing both is always better then choosing at random, which is better than chossing one.This case with random generator is similar to the case Minute Physics made about someone else choosing for you.
So, overall, it is interesting strategy, but I think it is worse than choosing deterministically.
PS: I think this strategy would make the situation worse for everyone, because you undermine the trust in the AI making correct choices. It’s measured 99.99% correctness would fall towards 50%, based on how many people would do this. And trusting in the AI with 99.99% prediction rate is reasonable for one boxers. But the lower the measured probability falls, more people would switch to two boxes, which would worsen their outcome, even though AI could be almost flawless with people choosing on their own. So imagine going in as a first person, doing this, choosing two boxes based on coin, and winning big. The next person would probably choose 2 too and lose.
It’s nice they are updating the maps so fast. Almost as if they know what Israel bombs next.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•SUVs are making Britain’s potholes worse, say scientistsEnglish
121·19 days agoIt is experimentally measured that road damage is proportional to fourth power of weight on an axle. And most of the trucks have multiple axles that distribute the weight. But SUVs while being lighter only have 2 axles, so the road damage done isn’t that much smaller. So I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the damage was done by SUVs, since there are much more od them.

4·1 month agoI prefer privacy over both, which is what GDPR is doing. And commercialized purposes or government surveillance is the same when the government can just buy data from corporations.
Also, far right and big tech is anti-regulation while being pro surveillance, viz child verification laws in California sponsored by big tech.
