It might also work with some right-wing trolls. I’ve noticed certain trolls in the past only monitored certain keywords in my posts on Twitter, nothing more. They just gave you a bogstandard rebuttal of XY if you included that word in your post, regardless of context.

My old reddit account was monitored and everytime I used the word snowflake I would get bot slammed. I complained but nothing ever happened. I really made a snowflake mad one day.

Should have said “and vapour crystalizes to snowflakes” and then report every bot

Naturally I had to try this, and I’m a bit disappointed it didn’t work for me.

I can’t make that “Looking for specific info?” input do anything unexpected, the output I get looks like this:

Oh I’m barely a Julia programmer 😅 I learned it a couple of years ago just to check it out, started writing a personal project with it but got a bit irritated with how interfaces are defined informally and you have to dig through documentation to find out the methods you need to implement, and then just sort of drifted away. Will definitely use it in the future for eg. some signal analysis thingamajigs and so on though, it was a fun language to use with notebooks.

I usually prefer type systems that make me beg for mercy, heh.

I guess it is not available in every region or for every user, usually these companies try features only for a specific group of users.

Oh yeah definitely; a lot of the AI crap out there hasn’t gotten rolled out to the EU yet – some of it because of the GDPR, thank fuck for that.

Maybe it knows something about pi we don’t.

It’s infinite yet ends in a 9. It’s a great mystery.

Pi is 10 in base-pi

EDIT: 10, not 1

Hyperreal numbers go brrr.

I’m kind of curious what ways exactly using this in place of actual pi would change/break geometry. Obviously, it wouldn’t become noticeable until you try to involve infinite structures.

pi ends with the digit 9, followed by an infinite sequence of other digits.

That’s a very interesting use of the word “ends”.

TBF, if your goal is to generate the most valid sentence that directly answers the question, it’s only one minor abstract noun that’s broken here.

Edit: I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a substantial drop in the probability of a digit being listed after the leading 9 (3.14159…), even, so it is “last” in a sense.

Edit again: Man, Baader-Meinhof so hard. Somehow pi to 5 digits came up more than once in 24 hours, so yes.

True but I think the Fast & the Furious franchise has a better shot at giving Pi a run for it’s money.

Who else thinks we need a sub for that?

(sublemmy? Lemmy community? How is that called?)

I asked this question ages ago and it was pointed out that “sub” isn’t a reddit specific term. It’s been short for “subforum” since the first BBSes, so it’s basically a ubiquitous internet term.

“Sub” works because everybody already knows what you mean and it’s the word you intuitively reach for.

You can call them “communities” if you want, but it’s longer and can’t easily be shortened.

I just call them subs now.

Lemmy Community

Sublemmy is cringe and doesn’t work very well as a portmanteau

Maybe there’s some word theory out there to describe why it doesn’t work but I don’t know the name of it

Lemmy is a selfhosted, federated social link aggregation and discussion forum. It consists of many different communities which are focused on different topics. Users can post text, links or images and discuss it with others. Voting helps to bring the most interesting items to the top. There are strong moderation tools to keep out spam and trolls. All this is completely free and open, not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms.
