Nice, that’s like the meme:

Look at how quickly AI put up a webpage for me: http://127.0.0.1/index.html

until some random AI agent

Wait, do they now have spam bots going around on random PRs to post advertisements?

I feel like people here are arguing about technicalities, when the answer simply is that there is no way to know. If it is completely random, it could create a melody in the first 5 seconds. Or in 5 years from now.

You could only decide on a lower bound, i.e. for anything to be recognizable, you might need at least 100 ms of it, so it will take at least 100 ms to produce that.
But as soon as those 100 ms are over, all bets are off. At any moment, it could queue the appropriate sound that makes you recognize the previous seconds as some melody or sound.

Honorable mention in particular: Short snippets of white noise sound like a snare drum.

Oh yeah, when I double-checked my information for the above comment, I also ran across this section, which is kind of wild (Hitler was clean-edge in some disciplines, while not at all in others):

Hitler stopped drinking alcohol around the time he became vegetarian […] He was a non-smoker for most of his adult life, but smoked heavily in his youth (25 to 40 cigarettes a day); he eventually quit, calling the habit “a waste of money”. […] Hitler began using amphetamine occasionally after 1937 and became addicted to it in late 1942. Speer linked this use of amphetamine to Hitler’s increasingly erratic behaviour and inflexible decision-making (for example, rarely allowing military retreats).

Prescribed 90 medications during the war years by his personal physician, Theodor Morell, Hitler took many pills each day for chronic stomach problems and other ailments. He regularly consumed amphetamine, barbiturates, opiates, and cocaine, as well as potassium bromide and atropa belladonna

Hitler followed a vegetarian diet, not a vegan diet.

He was also prescribed a meat-free diet by his doctor and it was useful for his public image to show himself as loving animals, so it’s highly debated how much of it might have been from some genuine moral conviction.
Not least, because it would make no fucking sense when he’s slaughtering people in the millions at the same time.

Con- 🤔

I, uh, haven’t yet. 😅

I’m not sure, what it’s called in English. In German, we have the sexy term “Lendenwirbelsäulenblockade” for it.
The internet tells me that it might be a “lumbar vertebral subluxation” in English, although that Wikipedia article sounds a lot more like quackery than my German impression of it. It might also be a “lumbar blockage”…?

But basically, one of the many joints in the spine for some reason loses its ability to move. And often times, the solution is to apply a bit of force, to get it unstuck. You *should* talk to a professional about this, or at least a chiropractor, because force won’t always be the correct solution.
But yeah, if you ignore those safety instructions, what you can do, is to slowly move your back into the position that the right cat is in (while on your knees and hands). Then slowly arch your back into the other direction. At some point, you might hear a pop, as the joint regains its ability to move and then that’s that.

I have actually managed to unfuck my back at some point, by doing a motion like the cat on the right. 🥴

The photo looks like an art piece, too…

Gab vorher kein Firefox Maskottchen. Es gibt mehr oder weniger noch ein Mozilla Maskottchen mit dem ursprünglichen Dino-Logo, falls du das im Kopf hast:

It’s right-wing trolling that it’s specifically non-binary. It’s just iconography they use throughout Firefox, when displaying error messages or the like.

Mozilla didn’t bring it up. The story is made up by right-wing trolls.

This story is made up by right-wing trolls.

The dino represents Mozilla, not Firefox itself. And yes, for a while, Mozilla didn’t have the dino in its official branding, but it’s now back in there. The flag is a dino head. As per usual, significantly more drama was made about them “removing” the dino than it was worth.

They’re not talking about language with the male-as-default, but rather for example this:

The depiction with less discerning features is what we assume to be male. If you want to express female, you have to add a dress or long hair or curves etc…
There’s actual scientific research on this bias existing, although I don’t know in what way this extends to animal depictions.

There’s also analog computers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer

Alas, they got largely displaced by digital computers…

I can imagine there being a correlation, because there’s no reason to be outspoken, if you’re not embedded in a context that would push religion onto you, which includes celebrating Christmas.

I had a friend in university, whose parents immigrated from a secular region of East Asia, who was equally as atheist as I was. But while I arrived at that position after years of learning about Christianity, as well as peer pressure and self-reflection, she didn’t go through any of that.
She couldn’t have an opinion about Christianity to be outspoken about, because Christianity is just a random fandom as far as she’s concerned. She’s not particularly interested in it, and that’s all there is to it for her.

And then, yeah, while I’m obviously much more outspoken than her, I’m not outspoken against doing a celebration in winter. Because I’m embedded in this Christian context, my parents want me to visit for Christmas, so I guess, I celebrate Christmas. ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯

In German, we’ve somehow adopted the English word “Handy” to refer to mobile phones. Problem is, if you actually use it as a noun in an English sentence, it’s a slang word for “handjob”. 🫠

Explanation:

• “die” is German for (feminine) “the”.
• “Gift” is German for poison.
