Most customers are not Lemmy users. Slapping some pics into a document and just printing that out has never looked good. That was more acceptable for small businesses in the past, but now it’s so cheap and easy to make it look more professional using some AI prompts. Skipping that step looks like much lower effort.

It’s fine to hate AI, but when someone has a family to feed and employees to pay, it’s understandable if they have to be a bit more open-minded.

Most of them didn’t. Most still don’t.

It’s not easy to own a small business. Sometimes they just have to try whatever fits within the budget.

Haha well it didn’t have much of a reputation for efficiency, did it? I heard it would come back as a hybrid though, which might be cool if they can pull it off without sacrificing too much interior space.

Surely the Linux kernel gets used by those same organizations too, in some way

I recently heard that Honda might be bringing the Element back in a few years. I hope it’s true. I really wanted an Element when they were still in production, but couldn’t afford one back then

Are people actually using the term “SI” now?

Nobody has responded in this thread about why the way this is built is good ([…]), offered solutions or agreed that it’s just stupid and shouldn’t be this way.

Isn’t that refreshing? The video is only 22 seconds long. It’s just enough context to show that the highway noise is indeed noisy there.

Most of us don’t know what the requirements were when planning and designing this station. Most of us probably never had to plan/design these things. Too many people on the Internet speak with an authoritative tone despite being ignorant of the subject matter. I see no harm in letting a conversation be free of armchair experts.

How would that help?

You want guys to just leak piss into whatever surface they’re standing/sitting on?

Here’s a practical use case: Sending money internationally.

I wanted to send some money to a friend in another country once, and it was difficult to find some service that could do it without some crazy expensive fee.

I’ve sent money to other countries before, but for this particular country, it was different. Maybe it’s some (dis)agreements between our governments, banks, etc. Maybe it would require the service to send it through another country or two, or convert it to some other intermediate currencies. I didn’t look into it, so I don’t really know why it was so expensive.

Anyway, it was much simpler and cheaper to just send crypto instead.

Yeah that was the idea, originally (hence why they’re called cryptocurrencies). It’s unfortunate that that’s not what it’s actually used for, in most cases.

There were also environmental concerns, but AI seems to have taken that spotlight

Yep. It’s also interesting to see teams have conversations about implementing these things without anyone mentioning how creepy it seems. I guess these things are just normalized now :/

Yeahhh that sucks that we’ve reached this point. I would actually consider paying some sites for my privacy. If they offer something that I value, then it’s fair for them to be compensated somehow. However, if they offered that option, I still probably wouldn’t trust it.

Even if the site itself fully intends to stand by their offer, can I trust the payment processor(s), bank(s), etc. involved in the transaction?

I’m not really a crypto guy, but I wish something like Monero (or whatever privacy-protecting alternative that might be “better” these days) could become more mainstream.

Heh, guess Gemini wasn’t even worth including

I keep trying AI

When you try AI, how do to do it? And do you try for hours? Days? Weeks?

There’s a learning curve to use these tools productively, and they often feel unproductive early on while building your proficiency.

I think the learning curve is often misunderstood or underestimated, possibly because we interface with these tools using natural language. We overestimate how “easy” it “should” be. (This was my own experience anyway, when I first started learning to use AI)

Oh… That’s not where the air holes should be. Not the only air holes, at least. There are rules for what containers can get approved for mailing chickens.

🤔 Now that I think about it, I vaguely remember there being some specs for crush resistance too, so maybe stacking is normal practice?

I used to ship lots of things, but never animals, so my knowledge and memory of this is pretty fuzzy. Seems like some rules were broken to end up in that situation though… which still sucks

Ah that probably sucks :/. I’m guessing it harms the chickens somehow?
