one of the things i love about australian taxes: by law the displayed price must include all taxes… the price on the label/menu/sign/website/whatever is the price you pay… by law

always catches me out in the US adding tax and tip 😓 i end up spending way more than i’d intended and having a far worse experience because of it

One thing that is correct that many people posting here seem not to understand is that there is no current residency requirement to open a bank account in the US

okay… but… why is that a problem?

that solver would be tool use though… i’m talking about just the “thinking” LLMs. it’s fascinating to read the thinking block, because it breaks the problem down into basic chunks, solves the basic chunks (which it would have been in its training data, so easy), and solves them with multiple methods and then compares to check itself

yeah i find the thinking fascinating with maths too… like LLMs are horrible at maths but so am i if i have to do it in my head… the way it breaks a problem down into tiny bits that is certainly in its training data, and then combine those bits is an impressive emergent behaviour imo given it’s just doing statistical next token

i’d say stability is more important than energy density

like gasoline has more than 10x the energy density than tnt and we’re perfectly fine with many kg of that on a vehicle going 100km/h

a fully fueled vehicle is the equivalent of ~600kg of TNT, but it’s very stable whilst TNT is not

that seems… atypical? in australia at least, the average response time for a code 1 (most critical) emergency is 15-16min depending on the state

which is still super problematic for complete obstruction (your 5+5min might even be too high for a complete obstruction)

but 45min would make the ambulance service as a whole basically a useless concept

because the article says this is the first actual study that’s been done… doctors and first aid instructions go by the best information they have, and prior to this their information is little better than a hunch

Despite choking being an emergency, until recently there has been limited high-quality evidence to guide bystanders on the most effective way to help. Techniques like abdominal thrusts (formerly known as the Heimlich maneuver), back blows and chest compressions or thrusts have existed since the mid-1900s but, until recently, recommendations were largely based on case reports rather than rigorous scientific data.

the extra information is pretty important too… afaik most remediation for choking should be avoided early on because it’s actually fairly likely the person can clear the obstruction themselves, but if you time a thrust with their breath it can be very bad, and actually cause them to suck the object further in when they gasp for air

not a doctor or anyone with medical training, but i heard it at some point and it kinda makes sense

that’s… not at all what inflation means… it is 1 of many causes of inflation

and the government doesn’t “give” it to banks

the reality is far more complex in both cases, even if sometimes the simplified version of things looks like that

STD is in a similar category: it’s an old term that’s no longer used because it’s inaccurate and misleading

but otherwise, yes: STI is the correct term

perhaps, but you still get feature fragmentation… things like custom emojis, stickers, what video codecs to support (heck i reckon they’d probably focus on chat first and video would only be available within the same app until some organisation effort happened), etc

you can see that a little bit on lemmy with the difference in how blocks work on lemmy vs piefed… piefed blocks on lemmy look like a shadow ban because lemmy doesn’t support the error style piefed uses… i think that’d it anyway

point being: just because software can exchange data and have the same problem domain and even in many cases use the same basic terminology, there can still be plenty of more advanced features that aren’t interoperable

re matrix, it can talk to anything… kinda… the matrix protocol has the idea of “bridges” built into it, so they should be able to translate between your client talking to the server via matrix protocol, and other things like XMPP, IRC, etc (at least in theory)

in australia we have no photo ID… you register to vote exactly once (usually done in high school and they walk you through it - at least that was my experience), and then you just show up… your name is on a list, and they cross you off

wreaks of “fuck you got mine”… so an invasive AI scan has scanned your content and deemed you 18+… gross

but

now a new user joins. they don’t have that history of interaction, so what are they meant to do?

i mean, i’ve heard phone screens are legitimately horrendous for hygiene, which i wouldn’t be surprised by (no real evidence provided)

action cameras are made to be tough, mountable on your body, and are just dumb(ish) cameras

so… whistleblower

… that’s called a leak mate

i wouldn’t even say mac hardware is prohibitively expensive these days given how damn long it lasts

i can count on 1 hand the number of laptops i’ve used as my primary device for > 2 years and they’re all macs… current is going on 5 years and is only now looking like i might need a spec bump in the next 2

it’s absolutely true actually… whatsapp are the key holders and there was a leak a few weeks ago that showed meta staff can access anyone’s messages: they just need to raise a ticket and they get access to an app that allows them to pull up any user the like

i think since bamboo entered the market everything changed and the entire industry kinda went warp speed :p

i’ve had a few printers, but until i got a bamboo i was “excited by the possibilities” more than actually doing things

now im printing loads, and have been since i got the printer a couple of years ago

detail resolution is amazing on 3d printers these days to!

the arachne wall generator is incredible for resolving fine details in things like text

Arachne settings allow the extruder to adjust its extrusion rate based on the model’s line width. This way, the extrusion rates change according to the model’s requirements, resulting in precise printing of the model’s varying shape.

You can choose this setting if you want to print thin features with more delicacy, and your print needs a smooth transition between wall counts.
