This video is full of jarring edits which initially made me wonder if someone had cut out words or phrases to create an abbreviated version. But, then I realized there are way too many of them to have been done manually. I checked the full original video and from the few edits i manually checked it seems like it is just inconsequential pauses etc that were removed: for instance, when Linus says “the other side of that picture” in the original there is an extra “p” sound which is removed here.

Yet another irritating and unnecessary application of neural networks, I guess.

Lemmy added an alt text field for image-only posts a few versions ago; it would be nice if more people would use it.

At least this post does link to the mastodon post which it is a screenshot of.

I really don’t get how its different than a search engine

Neither did this guy.

The difference is that LLM output is (in the formal sense) bullshit.

What if there were an outside force that was attacking students/university

That happened at UC Los Angeles a few months ago; the university police chief and 19 of his officers stood by and watched the attacks for over 3 hours before intervening: https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2024/05/11/ucla-protests-police-inaction-fights/

UC Merced annual training required only 7 rounds, while UC San Francisco used 7000 and UC Santa Barbara used 9000 🤔

Shoutout to UC Davis for having the only police department on the list who “did not use any military equipment during this timeframe”.

For some reason the linked PDF varies from the screenshot in several ways, though most of the numbers are the same. (UC Riverside’s number of rounds of .556-range ammunition used in training is 3000 in the screenshot but 6000 in the PDF now.)

I was curious how much this launcher costs:

… over here I see this glorified paintball gun is normally $2400 but currently on sale for just $1850.

I hope they’ll be gentle if they ever realize Canada exists

here is their canada portal: https://www.aljazeera.com/where/canada/

they also have some documentaries: https://www.youtube.com/@aljazeeraenglish/search?query=canada

Auschwitz was in Poland. They were careful to keep all the concentration camps out of Germany

The six extermination camps where 2.7 million of their victims were murdered were all in Poland, but the Nazis did have hundreds (or dozens, if you count all of the subcamps near a larger one as being a single camp) of concentration camps in Germany.

Ads?! in Ubuntu? Never! They were simply “integrating online scope results into the home lens of the dash” 🤡

(that is an actual quote from the sentence immediately following “We’re not putting ads in Ubuntu” in Mark Shuttleworth’s blog post responding to the entirely predictable backlash after they did this, twelve years ago…)

Posting maps and call it a day. Classic. Any kind of context is for nerds I guess?

Your comment I replied to also doesn’t say anything about the context of the expansion, it just says it “is not real”.

But if you want some context, I encourage you to watch the 20min video i posted earlier in this thread.

NATO expansion

Which is not real. I am saddened you choose to believe in it.

🤔

(via this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlargement_of_NATO …which will presumably amaze you)

If you’re actually curious and have 20 minutes, try this video: Ukraine: The Avoidable War

To answer your question: yes, YTA 🤦

Also, I’m deleting this post per asklemmy rule 3.

Snopes says they haven’t found evidence that this is something he actually said, and also that even if he did say it, it was most likely “kayfabe” - a pro wrestling term for maintaining the story line outside of the ring.

Otoh, https://www.houstonpress.com/news/opinion-the-reality-behind-hulk-hogan-vs-andre-the-giant-16554572 is an interesting read i just found while searching for the above which includes some good reasons why Andre might legitimately have stopped being friends with Hogan. Also TIL Jesse Ventura tried to unionize WWF and later learned in court that it was in fact Hogan who had ratted him out to their boss (Vince McMahon). (Or maybe this is all just higher-order kayfabe? 🤡)

Ah, figures. I should know better than to post quotes without checking if they’re attributed correctly

Why don’t you correct it then? (Eg, either delete your post, or replace the linked image with an updated one that attributes the quote correctly.)

This isn’t facebook; please don’t post years-old misattributed quote memes.
