There are an infinite amount of real numbers between 0 and 1. On the top track, when you reach 1, you would only kill 1 person. But on the bottom track you would’ve already killed infinite people by the time you reached 1. And you would continue to kill infinite people every time you reached a new whole number.

On the top track. You would tend towards infinity, meaning the train would never actually kill infinite people; There would always be more people to kill, and the train would always be moving forwards. Those two constants are what make it tend towards infinity, but the train can never actually reach infinity as there is no end to the tracks.

But on the bottom track. The train can reach infinity multiple times, and will do so every time it reaches a whole number. Basically, by the time you’ve reached 1, the bottom track has already killed more people than the top track ever will.

I mean, in that case it’s not really a matter of the trolley killing them, per se. The number will tend towards infinity, until it suddenly spikes to real infinity as people starve.

Except it’s not. The wording is:

A person may not, with the intent to influence an election, knowingly cause to be published, distributed, or broadcast political advertising that includes an image, audio recording, or video recording of an officeholder’s or candidate’s appearance, speech, or conduct that did not occur in reality.

It later goes on to mention generative AI. But the bill isn’t primarily focused on AI. The above leaves room for things like color correction in photographs, but would bar things like the following images:

The Tim Burton Batman movies. They’re hilariously bad, but make for a great time when you’re drunk with friends.

Or even worse… Supporting Palestine.

A lakh is 100k. So 5 lakh is 500k. Converted to USD, that’s around $5900 USD

I occasionally do scale drawings for my job, and I occasionally have to remind my coworker that her nice pretty colorized drawings will look fucking atrocious when printed in greyscale on a shitty laser printer. She likes to color code things to make it easier to communicate info… But that often ends up making things harder on the crews who are actually executing things. Because when she used color to communicate something, but the entire drawing is printed in shades of grey to hand a hard copy to the crew, it becomes fucking impossible to actually follow the drawing.

For instance… The yellow circle is the one we need done today. Here’s what she draws:

Except here’s what the crew receives:

Now imagine if this was a watermark on every page of a 50 page court filing, which then gets printed out for the judge. Now they’re seeing text on the grey background, which likely makes it harder to read and is a massive waste of toner. It also massively inflates pdf file sizes, because you’re sending that image on every single page.

Yup. For minor issues, first aid is all that is needed; you don’t need to see a doctor for a minor cut, as long as the first aid ensures it’s not infected. But for larger things, secondary aid is what provides more long-term recovery.

If someone dislocates a shoulder, first aid is putting it in a sling and bracing it against the body, so it doesn’t get worse (for instance, the tendons and ligaments in the shoulder joint can tear) before they can get to a hospital.

If someone is massively bleeding, first aid is stopping the bleeding to keep them alive until they can get rescued.

It can be, yes. One of the largest complaints with Docker is that you often end up running the same dependencies a dozen times, because each of your dozen containers uses them. But the trade-off is that you can run a dozen different versions of those dependencies, because each image shipped with the specific version they needed.

Of course, the big issue with running a dozen different versions of dependencies is that it makes security a nightmare. You’re not just tracking exploits for the most recent version of what you have installed. Many images end up shipping with out-of-date dependencies, which can absolutely be a security risk under certain circumstances. In most cases the risk is mitigated by the fact that the services are isolated and don’t really interact with the rest of the computer. But it’s at least something to keep in mind.

 

Comment linked for example, and I’ll attach a screenshot below. Having an embedded link following an image seems to append the image’s instance to the start of the embedded link. The link is a 12ft.io link, but Voyager is automatically appending “lemmy.world” to the start of the link.

Could also potentially be an issue with 12ft.io links specifically, but I have seen it a few times with other links too.

I’ve been having an intermittent issue (usually every day or two) where my default view keeps getting reverted to “Large” instead of “Compact”. I haven’t been able to figure out any particular pattern to it thus far, but wanted to see if anyone has had similar issues. It typically happens when opening the app for the first time in a while, but has actually happened two or three times today.

Is there maybe a gesture I’m accidentally triggering when I close the app?
