In Australia your gap year is taken after high school, before university. Most people get jobs.

Memes@sopuli.xyz•Philips shouldn't exist anymore. Torx plus is the champEnglish
2·15 hours agoThe last time this thread came up there were some convincing comments suggesting that the over torque protection for philips was not an intended feature.
Actually I don’t think that’s necessarily true, they just have two separate scales which probably overlap.

Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit Almost Disappears from ChatGPT Answers as Search Citations Drop 86%English
12·1 day agoYou seem to have misunderstood, and the article you linked doesn’t contradict what I’ve said.
Wealthy, sophisticated LLM developers would not have been scraping old reddit. They would pay reddit for API access.
Shutting down old reddit closes the door on back yard developers, not OpenAI.
Additionally, when you run a prompt in a chatbot, it doesn’t scurry away and scrape old reddit and then formulate an answer. The scraping of content is going on while the model is being developed.

Also most reddit content has long since been injested. No need to visit your http site anymore
Haah. Sweet.
Such small dick energy. Look at this amazing car that I pretend is mine.
I still like to chuckle about his fluffer from that arrest video, I wonder what he’s up to now.
Yep. Personally my first choice is the t490. Theres so many in great condition.
I like to imagine the IT debt in some office building buying and hording t490s just to be sure they don’t lose their budget next year.

Technology@lemmy.world•Chinese video platform Bilibili is going global to challenge YoutubeEnglish
86·3 days agoBecause YouTube doesn’t engage in anything like that ofc.
Letting the guy sit around doing nothing for the last 15 years was the abuse.
Its not “cold turkey”, because hes had 15 years to work on it. If he hasn’t, then it’s kind of left over Turkey from last weeks thanks giving which has already been re-heated several times.
The best time to kick him out was 15 years ago. The second best time is now.

edit: it’s not just “becoming tech support person”, but becoming the default person to blame for everything.

1·5 days agoIf that’s FOMO then pretty much every decision could be considered FOMO. I decided to put my shoes on this morning because I was worried everyone else wearing shoes would enjoy the advantages there-of and I would miss out.

4·5 days agoIDK how much parents “modelling” things really helps.
My parents fell for every scheme they encountered their entire lives.
Watching them taught me to be very critical of that kind of thing. I guess they did model what not to do.

1·5 days agoNo, I think with NFTs people were just looking at the bitcoin train they had missed out on, and thought NFTs would be the next big crypto thing.
Mostly they thought it was just the next big thing.
I think this unique. Not really FOMO and certainly not investing.

3·5 days agoI think you can kind of fork this path:
- blame parents
- realise they did what they thought was best
- still be messed up
- wallow in misery continually making the same mistakes every day
- accept your mediocrity

Technology@lemmy.world•The Pollution Being Churned Out by AI Data Centers Is So Severe That It's Almost IncomprehensibleEnglish
4·7 days agoI don’t think that’s true.
I think they know the future is bleak, and they just want to have the best bio dome or whatever the case may be.
As in, they know they’re making things worse, but if they don’t do it someone else will. So in a bleak and shit future, do you want to live like a king, or choke to death like the rest of us.

8·7 days agoSure but if we are building out renewable capability as quick as we can, but it’s being outstripped by demand, then maybe demand is part of the problem.

I’ve never been to America, but most restaurants with foreign cuisine face this problem and solve it the same way: if a customer asks for medium spice, the chef needs to know whether the customer wants the local or foreign scale.
There’s no implication that mild is hotter than American very spicy, you’re looking at two separate scales.
