yeah, he’s actively promoting climate change. nothing wrong i see
if you will it hard enough it can even play crysis.
seriously, most of the hype for this thingy comes from some random documentary directors who thought the ancient greeks were as intelligent as monkeys and such. anyone who says this is an alien invention is basically insulting any intelligent life who has come far enough to go interstellar
to clarify, this machine is way less impressive than what a lot of media claim it is. the greeks had hundreds of years of stargazing and records to figure out a model of the cosmos, and this is basically their whole model in a mechanism. unfortunately, at the time this thing was made, their model was pretty far off and they couldn’t come up with a better one due to philosophical reasons (the earth is the center! the orbits of the planets must be some sort of perfect circles!).
anyway, this thing is somewhat impressive technically, but is really bad in terms of engineering:
we knew that the greeks had a model of the cosmos before we discovered this (i think). we also knew, from greek records, that there were people discussing about “spheres” that tracked the positions of the planets, sun and moon as they moved through the sky. the main thing this mechanism shows is that the ancient greeks possibly pioneered complex gear mechanisms, and the knowledge was then passed on and on and went through times like the islamic golden age before coming back to europe in the form of clockwork and watchmaking.
i was here for systemd round 2
i think this was meant to be a shitpost and has no intended solution. out of all the crappy ones i could find on google this one makes the most sense, but given how there was probably no intended solution this one still doesn’t make a lot of sense overall
its the letter f.
once a year: thats the f in Feburary
twice a month: the month has 4 weeks and the 2 f’s are the First and Fourth weeks.
four times a week: the week has 7 days and the 4 f’s are the First, Fourth and FiFth days.
six times a day: a day has 24 hours and the 6 f’s are the First, Fourth, Fifth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and twenty-Fourth hours (yes there are 2 f’s in fifteen)
roughly translates to Linux operating system’s core analysis
yeah that makes sense. i was thinking maybe youtube had servers to decide what chunks clients would get, maybe by looking at whether or not they are premium users first. but anyway youtube still needs a way to differentiate between ad chunks and video chunks, otherwise we would just be able to skip 10 seconds through all the ads. surely that can be exploited somehow.
does this mean stuff like yt-dlp will download videos with ads in thrm as well?
for the most part i dont see any problem with the posts on this community whatsoever. most of them are funny, a fraction of them are reposts but that happens in every community anyway and it isnt really a problem unless its done to death/generic “repost this image” posts
my face when i signed up for lemmy.ml 2 months ago for fun and now they’re being called 5 different political terms
(their sign up verification test was “what is two plus two” back then)

essentially a terminal modal editor (like vim), but instead of specifying the action to perform then what to perform the action on (like “yank 3 lines”), in helix you select first, then perform actions on the selection (like “these 3 lines, i want them yanked”). it’s slightly better (according to others) because you get to see what you’re going to change in the file so you don’t accidentally delete 5 lines instead of deleting 4.
on top of that many features are builtin, like tree-sitter and lsp support, so you don’t have to spend 5 hours looking for cool plugins and configuring everything to get started (my config file is only 50 lines of toml).
the downside is that there isn’t support for plugins (yet), but there’s already things like a file picker, more than 100 themes etc.
