X is under total control of that person. As long as the lemmy source adheres to fediverse principles, this developer can believe whatever they want and run their instance however they want, and no one else has to care. If his beliefs starts affecting the lemmy source, it’s always an option to fork.

If you exclude a branch of the fediverse because of one bad instance, you’re missing the point of the fediverse.

That’s German. The French say “á rit gateaux”

Riley’s emotions aren’t controlling her, they’re more like the punishment/reward mechanisms of her brain. Riley decides to do something and then gets sad afterwards, or happy, or angry. It’s only when her emotions are out of balance that she is overwhelmed by sadness and loses control. I do agree that the perspective of the film makes it seem like the emotions are calling the shots and we don’t see enough external emotional regulation, like from her parents. I’d also have liked it if Riley herself could have turned the ship somehow at the end. I think having the emotions control the memories was a mistake, they should’ve been separate mechanisms, maybe feeding into each other at most. That way Riley could recall happy memories by herself and influence her emotions. But that is a bit of emotional regulation that a child might not have learned yet.

That’s what the Egyptians did. When the Israelites spared the Midianite women, Moses got angry at them and commanded them to kill everyone. Except the virgin girls, probably for completely wholesome Christian reasons.

Not really true though. Computers are still better at math. They’re even pretty good at coding, if you count compiling high-level code into assembly as coding.

But in this case we built a language machine to respond to language with more language. Of course it’s not going to do great at other stuff.

I think Greek mythology is well-known around the world, but not many languages pronounce the poor man’s name as uh-kill-ease.

Yeah, the common EPS initiative (mandating USB 2.0 micro-B) was in effect since 2009. That’s right around the time smartphones were getting popular. Even my last slide phone had micro-USB. Maybe there were different models for different markets though, a product doesn’t need to follow EU law if it’s only sold in the US.
