I’m always making up stuff to see company reviews and wondering how many of those are fake too.

Fake. A real 9/11 sandwich would be served with freedom fries.

The first section looks a lot like alginate spherification. It’s a fun demo to make a fake egg with it but it would be very obvious it isn’t an egg when you cooked it. It wouldn’t set or act like an egg at all when heated. I’d also be very curious to see how they make the shell if it really is a fake egg.

For the second section, those are previously frozen eggs. Freezing them turns the yolk rubbery but doesn’t do much to the white.

Mortgage rates are down ~0.25% over the last month which is a bigger deal for most buyers. Mortgages and homes are still pretty expensive compared to a couple years ago but we might finally be at a turning point. The fact that everything isn’t getting worse is a good sign.

Some phones will let you save your physical sim as an eSIM.

True but trust is hard to establish in decentralized platforms like the fediverse. As far as I’m aware the only decentralized banking is unfortunately cryptocurrency.

Isn’t that what NFTs do?

Mid journey and the like have already been caught creating shutterstock watermarks in images. Future models might be able to fake specific watermarks well.

I slightly hate myself for suggesting it, but are you essentially describing NFTs?

It’s common enough that tik tok banned the hyperborea hashtag and you can find a couple 4chan threads about it at any time.

I think actually believing in it is pretty fringe even among neo nazis though. It usually involves magic and aliens. It sometimes ties into flat earth and similar nonsense.

You can read a bit more about it here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esoteric_Nazism

It’s also a weird neo nazi version of Atlantis. Probably best it wasn’t used.

I work with software and my coworkers will occasionally tell me they ran something by ChatGPT instead of just reading the documentation. Every time it’s a bullshit waste of everyone’s time.

Distributions like this are common in the natural world. Randomness and probability get weird. The phenomenon can often be explained by Zipf’s law.

There’s a local llama subreddit with a lot of good information and 4chan’s /g/ board will usually have a good thread with a ton of helpful links in the first post. Don’t think there’s anything on lemmy yet. You can run some good models on a decent home pc but training and fine tuning will likely require renting out some cloud gpus.

Checks out for me. Love me some arch and love my pour over coffee maker. Use both everyday btw.

When you use a vpn, any traffic that would go between you and a website goes through the vpn first. Makes it hard for sites to know who you are and makes it hard for your isp to know what sites you visit.

When you use tor, any traffic that would go between you and a website is bounced around between a few different computers first. Similar to a vpn but is near impossible to track unless you’re a big gov agency with lots of resources.

You sure? https://www.forbes.com/sites/barrycollins/2020/04/24/why-you-shouldnt-charge-your-macbook-pro-from-the-left-hand-side/amp/

Didn’t they also crash or overheat sometimes when charged from the left side? Apple hardware really is unrivaled.

I’m absolutely biased as a data engineer who loves SQL, but there are some good reasons why SQL has been the de facto standard for interacting with databases since the 80s.

One of its draws is that it’s easy to understand. I can show a stakeholder that I’m selecting “sum(sale_amount) from transactions where date=yesterday” and they understand it. Many analysts are even able to write complicated queries when they don’t know anything else about programming.

Since it’s declarative, you rarely have to think about all the underlying fuckery that lets you query something like terabytes of data in redshift in minutes.

Debugging is often pretty nice too. I can take some query that didn’t do what it was supposed to and run it over and over in a console until the output is right.
