That’s pretty cool. However, no human has ever won by more than 15min, and every horse has a 15min delay built into their times. So even the biggest winning margin of nearly 11 minutes would have lost to the horse if they had started at the same time.

Test_Tickles@lemmy.worldto Science Memes@mander.xyz•Order of magnitude is a hell of a drugEnglish13·21 days agoWow, what do you have against models? I mean, I know that the trope is that they aren’t very smart, but the same trope applies to firemen, so why pick on models?
“project manager”… the corporate version of the brick breaker game. But with emails instead of a ball and paddle.
Test_Tickles@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Readers Annoyed When Fantasy Novel Accidentally Leaves AI Prompt in Published Version, Showing Request to Copy Another Writer's Style1·1 month agoI think you are grossly overestimating the audience of this author. They are a “self published” author whose books are free and not read by many people.
If anything, she will see a massive spike in readers just because of curious people checking her out.
Everyone is different, after all you are literally adjusting the chemistry of your brain. But some people take a while to adjust to psych meds. I am very sensitive to psych meds and get all the weird side effects. It usually takes me about 3 months to let my body adjust to a new drug and get a real idea of how it’s going to make me feel. Admittedly I am taking more than just ADHD meds, but it can take a while to find the right thing. I have had many whose side effects started out sucking, but then went away or became tolerable. But even worse is the ones that start out perfect, but then slowly show their problem sides. It can be so difficult to switch when the side effect seems so minor at first but everything else is perfect.
Also, there are different meds and they can affect you differently. And there are different types of meds, some are stimulants and some are not.
Test_Tickles@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•30 years ago somebody told me their opinion about "Changes" but I didn't know what Changes was. I just remembered to look it up, and according to Wikipedia it could've been any of about 50 things.1·2 months agoWere they going through the changes? If so then maybe they were talking about menopause.
But they are not afraid of children dying, that’s totally fine. They’re afraid their kids might become “weird”. Because that is how they see autism, as being weird.
And as everybody knows weird is literally worse than death.
Maybe it’s just me, but I will take a PBJ dog treat over PBJ bologna.
Test_Tickles@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•‘60 Minutes’ airs scathing segment on ‘first felon in the Oval Office’ despite pressure to avoid sensitive stories about Trump1·2 months agoI think I understand propaganda well enough. I think you underestimate people’s intelligence and misunderstand how propaganda affects people. In your own story of dealing with propaganda, when confronted with conflicting information, you realized your error, or were at least open to learning more. Or is it that you feel that you are so much smarter than the average conservative that they are just helpless compared to you? You are correct that they are full of fear and anger, but I don’t believe it was something that just happened to them without them being able to do anything about it.
Also, not fascist? He straight out said he wanted to be a dictator, he praised Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un and, Hungary’s authoritarian leader, Viktor Orban.
And as for his first term, even if we pretend that his policies and actions didn’t significantly worsen the spread of Covid, and wipe Covid from the slate, his presidency was still a nonstop shit show that separated children from their parents for cruelty’s sake, got service men and allies killed, exposed, got tortured, and got murdered a significant part of our foreign intelligence gathering community. And that is just skimming the top and pulling out the easy stuff.
Test_Tickles@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•‘60 Minutes’ airs scathing segment on ‘first felon in the Oval Office’ despite pressure to avoid sensitive stories about Trump1·2 months agoYou are correct, they aren’t Nazis, not even close. But they are full of hate. Enough hate that they would prefer to be thought of as stupid, or easily fooled rather than admit why they chose to vote for someone who who is an open fascist, “admirers” Nazi generals, and was best friends with a pedophile. Trump is not some unknown. He has was not only president before, but his presidency was was disastrous and he exited with the worst polls of any president ever. They knew exactly what they were getting. They weren’t fooled. They weren’t conned or hoodwinked. They didn’t even lack for choice. There were plenty of other little fascist wanna bees running around trying to get elected.
Stop infantilizing grown adults. If they “didn’t know what they were getting” it is because they chose not to know. They purposely chose someone that they knew would hurt them because they expect him to hurt the people that they hate more.
Someone built a shortcut to a job hunting site into the OS itself. Someone who works on the OS and for the company that made the OS. I can’t think of any greater advertisement that working for Microsoft is awful than the cry for help that is building a permanent link to a job hunting website.
Because it was cold out, but they both had insanely bad cases of athletes foot.
Your water heaters don’t have a “Steam Blast” setting? How do your bidets even work? Do they just dribble cool water on your anus? How weird.

Test_Tickles@lemmy.worldto Funny: Home of the Haha@lemmy.world•Meta Discussion about AI generated submissions in this community.1·2 months agoWhile I fully agree with the sentiment, I don’t know how you could actually implement it. How do you identify something as AI? I understand that many people “know it when they see it”, but how do you quantify and implement the rule so that it doesn’t just become another way to abuse posts.
Test_Tickles@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's kinda crazy that we willingly give money to companies in advance (say for gift vouchers and pre-orders)1·2 months agoGift cards are for people who you are obligated to buy something for, but don’t really like enough to put in any effort. They are a way of telling people, “I like this company more than I like you. I could have just given you money, but I couldn’t be bothered to shop for you, but I really wanted to make sure that any money I had to spend on you went to this company.”
If you don’t believe me, why would they just give you a universal gift card? Did you know that they have been making them right here in the USA for a couple hundred years now? They even have decorative pictures of us presidents on them. And they are not just good in the US, you will find that they are taken most places on the planet.
Praying? Look at how he is dressed… He is clearly about to go in for a 2 handed karate chop.
Test_Tickles@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work2·3 months agoYou must forgive them young Padawan, they still have fucks to give, or have only recently run out. They are still concerned with the “knowing” of things. It is only once you reach a severe and immeasurable deficit of fucks that you can completely let go of your personal pride and ego enough to admit that this shit is fucking ridiculous and you might as well just let Google/AI remember it for you.
Test_Tickles@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Vibe Coding is not an excuse for low-quality work72·3 months agoDude, there are at least 4 different “for” loop syntaxes in Js/Ts alone:
for (let num = 1; num <= 5; num++) {}.
for (const num of numbers) {}.
for (const num in numbers) {}.
this.numbers].forEach(num => {});
Also don’t forget ngFor and @for in html, and then the @for in sass/scss.
That’s 7 different for loops and I haven’t included the non-for loops, or even left Angular.
Once we include some scripting like I did just this week:
bash: for i in {1…5}: do … done
dos: for /L %%i in (1,1,5) do ()
Then you can just stfu if I feel the need to remind myself of the exact syntax for one of the 3 or 4 different for loop options in c#.
You do have 2 holes on either side that meet the middle and are continuous from 1 end to the other. So yeah, you are the weirdest of donuts.
