yep. it’s a stupid powerful build but also surprisingly flexible.

it doesn’t sound like anything abnormal to just completely forget a new password, let alone one part of it. I would not see anything to worry about in this instance. but if you’re worried about your memory more generally, how is your sleep? do you get enough, is it restful, do you snore, is your schedule consistent, do you eat before bed? there can also be lots of other common factors like unresolved emotional trauma or depression or neurodivergent traits. additionally, memory is a skill that can be trained if you want to have a good memory.

again, this incident is not something to worry about. if you feel like there’s a pattern, there are many things you can look into but start with your day-to-day state. investigate how your body and mind feel. I can’t even begin to get close to saying you may have a particular condition, just want to give some lines of thought you can investigate if you want.

I’ll second this. I’d love to see posts about the green spaces you run through, but for a discussion more focused on the running itself, that would be better suited elsewhere.

what you are describing is the tyranny of structurelessness

and you are correct. structure is impossible to escape. but general hierarchy is not. I’m defining that as a structure in which one party has general powers to control another party, like police.

the opposite would be specific hierarchy - a structure in which a party has power over other parties only in prescribed circumstances, like a bouncer deciding when a person must leave a bar. within the structure of our society, that bouncer can’t leave the bar and start forcing people into or out of other locations. a cop more or less can do that.

therefore, it’s not a given that a “nonhierarchical” society is one of implicit structure. the most successful “nonhierarchical” society would be explicitly structured and would have robust checks and balances through specific hierarchies.

for example, a subject matter expert should probably have preferential influence on decisions within their subject over non-experts. certain amounts of violence may always be necessary, so perhaps certain resources need guards. those guards would not be deciding policy, but they would be administering a pre-designed system of resource access, with the power to enforce that system if someone is trying to hoard that resource. (I’m not certain force will always be necessary, but it’s perfectly believable.)

the best structures would discourage power accumulation with distributed responsibilities and self-improving systems (“laws” that prescribe their own revisions, theoretically with certain provisions that prevent regression toward allowing power accumulating behavior). these structures are not impossible, they’re just difficult to design and they are typically hated by power-seeking parties.

I think the article could be posted in !technology, but I’ll admit that it doesn’t seem we have a perfect home for this. A different article with more of an investigative/analytical angle about the same phenomenon would be more appropriate in !news.

Typically mods try to leave a comment explaining why a post is removed, but sometimes that can get missed. In this case, the article linked is not considered news, but opinion.

“hallucination” works because everything an LLM outputs is equally true from its perspective. trying to change the word “hallucination” seems to usually lead to the implication that LLMs are lying which is not possible. they don’t currently have the capacity to lie because they don’t have intent and they don’t have a theory of mind.

Thanks :) My partner and I talk about Berlin a lot. It seems like an amazing place. I don’t know if we’ll be able to leave the US for a few years at least though.

thanks for sharing. I echo a lot of these sentiments. I don’t think there’s a right answer in a situation like this. we didn’t choose to be targets of hatred, we’re just dealing with it.

I don’t agree. I think it’s disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted. it comes across as if you are blaming the admins for something you don’t like - if that’s not your intent, then what is ?

it may seem that way, but that’s not accurate. something had to be done to stem the trolls and lemmy doesn’t provide any tools for less severe action.

native flowers are a great idea! I’m lazy and mostly grow “decorative” plants - but even though they don’t feed me, they’re habitat for creatures I love

I’m not an expert, but tomatoes can get blight easily and require a ton of sun and water to produce fruit (but they also need great drainage!)

so it seems… that’s most of what comes up on youtube. I’ll do a deeper dive, thank you

tomatoes are pretty fickle, so you may have an easier time with something else, but generally it is doable. if possible, look for varietals bred for container-growing, as they’ll often be smaller plants. I’ve never grown peas or beans myself but I bet green beans and various peppers would be good choices.

of course, familiarize yourself with your environment. determine your plant hardiness zone: https://www.fs.usda.gov/wildflowers/Native_Plant_Materials/Native_Gardening/hardinesszones.shtml and growing seasons. as others said, the direction your deck faces is important, but since you’re in an apartment, you may actually have an advantage of being able to utilize reflected light from the building facing you as well. (I used to have a north-facing deck and the brick wall opposite me was a major source of light for my plants, which would sometimes reach toward it)

shit, really? they’re doing such good work tbat genuinely aligns with my religious views. do you have links to any of this controversy?

On the topic of forums, I do like them, but I find they can often feel less “casual” than reddit/Lemmy. Different etiquette, I think.

I agree and it’s what I like about forums. to someone like me they’re more approachable. discord works best for me with friends, but it’s awkward with people I don’t know well
