  • Harris and Trump are getting ready for Tuesday’s debate in sharply different ways

  • I know you're supposed to confirm things for yourself but I'm very sensitive to audio and sounds have a tendency to stick in my brain. I'll take your word on that so that I don't have to stick my head in a blender later tonight.

  • Wait, what happened here? Is this picture supposed to be offensive somehow? Is there a place you can see deleted lemmy comments like you can see deleted reddit comments?

  • The corporations can fuck right off because they steal more from creators than pirates ever could. But directly supporting independent creators you like is a good thing that should be lauded. Someone dying penniless in the street because they chose to make things that enhanced people's lives instead of going into a soul sucking banking career or some shit is a travesty if you ask me.

  • The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong

    Jump

  • That's not my theory. That's the data.

    One interpretation could be that women were constantly engaged in strenuous endurance activities and so through evolution built up tolerances against exhaustion that at least rivals if not exceeds that of men. And one historical activity that used a lot of stamina and took a lot of tolerance against fatigue was the way in which ancient humans hunted.

    That's not what a theory is, it's a hypothesis at best, hope that helped.

  • The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong

    Jump

  • Women were first allowed to compete in marathons in 1972. In 1972 the men's record was 2:10:30. The current record is 2:00:35 which is about an 8% difference. Pretty close to the difference between men and women currently.

    The first women's record was 3:40:22 and the current women's record is 2:11:53.11 which is 40% faster.

    Once funding for women's athletics reaches parity and once girls are encouraged into athletics as much as boys, then we will see if the ladies catch up. So far they're doing a pretty good job catching up, and you can't look at one current window in time and say you have the answer, you need to look at trends.

  • The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong

    Jump

  • Evidence shows that women have better endurance for long distances. They tend to be less susceptible to fatigue and beyond 195 miles are actually faster than men. Considering humans were better at outlasting their prey and chasing them to exhaustion rather than burst speed, this data indicates that women are at least as capable as men at those tasks if not better.

    Jump

  • You don't call a lion immoral because lions can't comprehend morality. That doesn't mean that humans can do the same actions without being judged morally. Lions can also kill other lions which would be more comparable to murder than your hunting example and still they wouldn't be held morally responsible and yet humans would if they killed another human. A lot of animals rape too, doesn't mean it's moral for humans to do.

    The difference is that we CAN understand morality which is why we are held to moral standards and animals aren't. This is like, pretty basic stuff and shouldn't be at all confusing. Maybe read a book or two before having loud opinions?

  • Well I'm definitely not pushing for more AI and I like to try to stay nuanced on the topic. Like I mentioned in my first comment I have found it to be a very helpful tool but if used in other ways it could do more harm than good. I'm not involved in making or pushing AI but as long as it is an available tool I'm going to make use of it in the most responsible way I can and talk about how I use it knowing that I can't control what other people do but maybe I could help some people who are only using it to get answer hints like in the article to find more useful ways of using it.

    When it comes to regulation, yeah I'm all for that. It's a sad reality that regulation always lags behind and generally doesn't get implemented until there's some sort of problem that scares the people in power who are mostly too old to understand what's happening anyways.

    And as to what's the rush, I would say a combination of curiosity and good intentions mixed with the worst of capitalism, the carrot of financial gain for success and the stick of financial ruin for failure and I don't have a clue what percent of the pie each part makes up. I'm not saying it's a good situation but it's the way things go and I don't think anyone alive could stop it. Once something is out of the bag, there ain't any putting it back.

    Basically I'm with you that it will be used for things that make life worse for people and that sucks, and it would be great if that was not the case but that doesn't change the fact that I can't do anything about that and meanwhile it can still be a useful tool and so I'm going to use it the best that I can regardless how others use it because there's really nothing I can do except keep pushing forward the best I can, just like anyone else.

  • Walkable cities are even better. I used to drive daily and then I moved close enough to walk to work with conveniently located grocery stores. Didn't drive much at all for years and THAT was convenient. Never sit in traffic and just stop in the store and pick up a few things on your way home from work. As long as I have to be working that is as close to livin' the dream as possible for me.

  • Exactly. It's a helpful tool but it needs to be used responsibly. Writing it off completely is as bad a take as blindly accepting everything it spits out.

  • I'm not at all confident in the answers directly. I've gotten plenty of wrong answers form AI and I've gotten plenty of correct answers. If anything it's just more practice for critical thinking skills, separating what is true and what isn't.

    When it comes to math though, it's pretty straightforward, I'm just looking for context on some steps in the problems, maybe reminders of things I learned years ago and have forgotten, that sort of thing. As I said, I'm interested in actually understanding the stuff that I'm learning because I am using it for the things I'm working on so I'm mainly reading through textbooks and using AI as well as other sources online to round out my understanding of the concepts. If I'm getting the right answers and the things I am doing are working, it's a good indicator I'm on the right path.

    It's not like I'm doing cutting edge physics or medical research where mistakes could cause lives.

  • Like any tool, it depends how you use it. I have been learning a lot of math recently and have been chatting with AI to increase my understanding of the concepts. There are times when the textbook shows some steps that I don't understand why they're happening and I've questioned AI about it. Sometimes it takes a few tries of asking until you figure out the right question to ask to get the right answer you need, but that process of thinking helps you along the way anyways by crystallizing in your brain what exactly it is that you don't understand.

    I have found it to be a very helpful tool in my educational path. However I am learning things because I want to understand them, not because I have to pass a test and that determination in me to want to understand is a big difference. Just getting hints to help you solve the problem might not really help in the long run, but it you're actually curious about what you're learning and focus on getting a deeper understanding of why and how something works rather than just getting the right answer, it can be a very useful tool.
