  • [Meta] Migrated Tournesol bot recommendations to Mastodon

    Hello,

    Earlier this year, I've made tournesol_bot lemmy account, to post every once a week, one of the current recommended video of Tournesol in this community.

    Recently, a tournesol account appear on Mastodon, and does more or less the same job of sharing recommended videos every week.

    So I decided to discontinue the recommending of videos here on this page. If you're interested to get some, please check-out https://peculiar.florist/@tournesolapp on your mastodon instance (or equivalent)

    ----

    I also did update the community description, aiming now to talk about recommendation algorithms in general rather than to share videos (there are already a lot of communities for that purpose on Lemmy)

    So don't hesitate, if you see any news related to that thematic, to cross-post it here !

  • As a non native English speaker, I had to read your comments to understand the "Hot potato" one... Seems that I'm not as fluent in English as I thought (my accent is shit)

  • Is English just badly pronounced French?
  • I can understand (I hate this video title actually), but yeah, telling that "That guy is an idiot" without listening at what he said is not smart

    During the video, he's listening and debating against some French (?) phylosoph I suppose, that basically said shit like English is just French; then this video adds details about why Yes, but also why not, and where yes and no

  • Is English just badly pronounced French?
  • Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video

That's how I got kicked out of the ACM in college. > Cueball: ...what? > > Black Hat: During a competition, I told the programmers on our team that eπ−π was a standard test of floating-point handlers -- it would come out to 20 unless they had rounding errors. > > Cueball: That's awful. > Black Hat: Yeah, they dug through half their algorithms looking for the bug before they figured it out.

    xkcd #2820: Inspiration

    Title text: An apple fell on Isaac Newton's head and gave him the idea that the moon might be a tasty apple, though this turned out not to be true--the Apollo program eventually determined that it was just a desolate and bland Red Delicious.

    Transcript

    [Cueball sits under a tree. An apple falls from the tree and hits him on the head.]

    Bonk

    [The view zooms out, showing the moon, which Cueball looks up at.]

    [Closeup on Cueball.]

    Cueball: ... \ Cueball: We should grow apples on the moon.
