Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What socioeconomic factors are driving Asians to convert to Abrahamic religions?
11·1 day agoHow? The trends represent real-world data. And, before anyone says anything about fear of Islam or Judaism, Jews don’t want people converting to their faith – it’s why they don’t proselytize. They believe you have to be born into it. And most Muslim converts, who weren’t born into the religion, leave it within 5 years anyway. There’s no reason to fear either taking over anything from conversions.
I just want to know what’s going on behind the scenes.

Technology@lemmy.world•An AI couldn’t beat humans at StarCraft, so it decided to cheatEnglish
112·4 days agoFirst of all, AI runs on the Theory of Evolution. It evolves processes to accomplish a desired outcome.
It didn’t cheat. It did what it was supposed to do: win.
We set up a situation where it could cheat, told it to win, then got angry with it, because we didn’t restrain it properly.
That’s because sites have stopped indexing their own info, because of Google.
Also, I’ve toyed with the idea of creating product categorization with a Dewey knock off. I’d be happy to catalog your site, if you did.

The ultimate assassin.
I just need to build out the system in a logical manner.
Wikipedia would be inf.ref.enc. Webster and Urban Dictionary? inf.ref.dic.
Standard library locations.
As far as the university goes, the system’s incomplete.
A library has books on several universities, but the book can only be in one place.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is it just me, or are people becoming more prudish?
2·9 days agoI’m not dictating terms. I’m asking a question.

3·9 days agoResearch is showing that young people are having less sex, doing fewer drugs, and drinking less alcohol. Soda consumption is down. Restaurants are receiving fewer visitors.
Young people set modern culture shifts. With all due respect, they are to blame. The question I’m asking is, why? Not about all issues. Not negging them about their choices. Just curious why the aversion to swear words and nudity.

11·9 days agoBeware of complaining about “this generation” - it definitely means you might be over the hill.
Oh no! What can I do about that?
But most young people are fine, they’re good in fact. They’re still new. Don’t worry about them. They’re just young people… And don’t believe the media.
I didn’t say anything bad about them.

31·9 days agoCognitive dissonance.
I didn’t really question it until all the posts on one of my favorite Tarot subs started blurring out all the nude cards on their readings. Then I remembered seeing adult fan art on Mastodon, and wondered why I wasn’t seeing it on Lemmy. Amazon censoring curse words in subtitles was the final straw.
I hear the word fuck 40 times per day from kids (under 18) and adults. And I can’t read it in my subtitles?

Quantum mechanics says that everything is related. Ice cream sales and murders rise and fall at the same times each year – during the Summer, when it’s hot outside. Asking why a certain group of people is suddenly taking an interest in another group of people isn’t racist. Especially when there’s been a long history of disinterest among those groups.
I didn’t make that application. I asked what was driving it. Not why all Asians like Abahamic religions.
