Hyperbole is hyperbole. I refuse to fall for bullshit just because it’s aligned with my views and opinions.

Looking at the actual numbers (less than 1%) other commentors are posting as opposed to clickbait headlines, I’m not seeing the issue.

You literally pulled up a cherry picked list of where there are discrepancies.

The entire point of this thread from the comment you replied to, is that ‘cup’ is an inexact unit of measurement that varies. My list is providing examples, I’m not seeing the issue here.

You’re allowed to and im not?

You were misrepresenting the statement as if it applied globally when in actuality it was meant for ONE country. That’s just bad faith discussion.

Also, would you look at that: almost all of them have converged to US customary or 250mL, which is within the tolerance for error.

Except for Latin America, the UK, most of Asia, parts of Europe, etc. 🙄

I like how you just pulled that sentence out of context from the description for ONE country and ignored the dozen other countries with different measurements.

Yeah if only there weren’t a dozen different international definitions of cup ranging from 100ml to 250ml

Charging at home vs public charger, driving speeds, hilly terrain, etc.

I know, but that’s pretty much how anybody on mobile will see it.

It’s pretty dramatic…

The joy of ninja edits, huh?

Yes, Rimu is the main developer of piefed. While the project originally started with very noble stated goals, Rimu is turning out to have some very strong opinions and uses his control of the software and his adminship of the main piefed instance to impose those opinions on everybody. Very often so far, his actions and his stated reasons do not line up. In a way, it’s even worse than lemmy where at least the software is free of the ideological beliefs of the devs.

If you’re on piefed.social, there’s a lot of content being censored you might not even be aware of. About half of that is said controversy about piefed.

They’re both correct. This is akin to correcting somebody because they’re using British / American English and you’re using the other.

Where can I sign up for AI-PAL?

You managed to mildly infuriate a bunch of people with the pettiness of this gripe 😁

Your comment isn’t showing as deleted for me, there’s probably a federation error somewhere.

Great, Linux is an algorithm.

It might be accurate, but it’s also vague enough that it’s a pretty useless definition.

Doesn’t matter what the goal is, the context of this particular discussion is that AI is benefiting at least some people by making their lives easier. And one guy who’s trying to argue ‘so what, it only matters if productivity goes up’.

However they like, are you their mum?

… What.

AI has automated some mundane task that wasn’t particularly important, and now they can spend their time doing something more interesting.

That absolutely sounds like a win to me. Why is productivity gains the only thing that’s important? QoL is what matters. Unless you’re a capitalist overlord.

Not quite. Algorithms are definite, you get the same guaranteed output if you give the same input every time. AI is generally more fuzzy logic.
