ikr signing into my slrpnk.net account was like going to an old home I hadn’t been in for a while.

This.

When I was a kid and I was trying to get to sleep, I’d close my eyes and remember all the different bedroom layouts I’d lived in. Like in one place the wall was to the left and top and the door was down by the foot of the bed. In another place the wall was just to the top and the window was to the left and down. In another place the wall was just to the top and the door was to the top and left. etc.

Looks like the kind of thing you’d drive in a parade.

Every once in a while the driver’s feet come out the bottom, he reaches his hands out the windows, and he picks the car up like it’s a dress being kept out of a puddle.

I learned a really valuable lesson in first grade. My friend Daniele had a really nice belt-buckle, but he was wearing it upside-down. I was like: Daniele, why is your belt-buckle upside-down? And he was like: so when I look down, I can turn it up and look at it.

Daniele was a pretty wise kid.

“discrete AI” (probably has a few other names)

• symbolic AI
• traditional AI
• GOFAI (good old fashioned) AI

Kinda sounds like you’re talking about Explainable AI too. Very interesting set of fields, but I’m pretty sure they’re all having funding problems too.

Elsewhere in a comment someone mentioned Passport Cards. iirc they’re only valid for travel to Mexico and Canada, but they are proofs of citizenship, and you can have a card as well as a passport.

I suggest you hold out for a Scooby-snack.

A day that will live in infamy! But in a good way. A day that will live in famy!

Game on the couch til I pass out. Wake up halfway thru the night, throw self on the mattress, shedding clothes til I’m comfortable. (varies by time of year)

some “unofficial” replacements

• !streetart@lemm.ee… see !grasweeti@slrpnk.net, a lot of the same material (and is more active).

• !TwoGoobers@lemm.ee … see !relationshipmemes@lemmyis.fun, a lot of overlap

• !webcomics@lemm.ee … see !webtoons@ani.social for a partial replacement

deleted by creator

Regarding !martialartsmovies@lemm.ee, @klu9@piefed.social has created !action_movies@piefed.social to replace it and more.

Even thought about a comm themed, “stop buying new shit”.

!buyitforlife@slrpnk.net

(hey @sevon@lemmy.kde.social it’s this one)

Then I wanted to make robots but I went to a robotics company for a high school project and they explained engineers don’t build anything and the technicians don’t design anything.

I was affiliated with a robotics lab for a couple years, and I’m pretty sure that’s not true industry-wide. I’m mostly saying this for other folks who may be reading. Look into it first before believing what that company person said.

some of these are “ask” communities which sometimes turn into discussions

I have an HP Chromebook 11 that I was going to install linux on (iirc you have to open it up and flip a hardware switch to do so) but I ended up keeping Chrome OS on it. Anyway I mention it bc the form-factor is nice, it’s very small and light but still usable. Only thing I don’t like is the touchpad so I hook up an external mouse whenever possible. You can get those chromebooks for under $100 refurbished too.
