Sorry to say but there‘s a hiccup in your thinking: How can you know you would miss it, if you don’t know it?
I don’t know of I‘d miss skydiving, if I miss diving, if I miss flying or even racing. Because I never did it. Still I don’t miss it.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"United States" in French (États-Unis) would have made a very confusing acronym

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•karma is the original gamefication
3·2 months agoAs I‘ve companied some of my relatives already in their last weeks and days, I can say it’s different.
Karma comes into the game indeed. When your entire energy level slowly fades (around 10 yrs before) you experience a reflection of your character. Your brain just hasn‘t the power to establish s will/ strong conciousness/ whatever tells you the story you wanna get seen be others.
If you‘ve been a happy and joyful person, your surroundings will be nice and happy. A rather moaning or aggressive character wil find itself in a sort pf hostile environment.
It‘s how you interact and interacted with the people around you and how those people react on you.
Your thoughts in this phase won‘t be about Dashboards and numbers, but memorable experiences. I doubt it will be computer games, bro.
My honest advise: You better start collecting nice and joyful experiences now. I‘ve seen quite some moaning, aggressive oldsters and it’s a pity how they live.
You can’t compare indoors and outdoors directly. I think random has its means in an uneven environment. It simply doesn’t matter if the odometry sucks, if the wheels stick in muddy earth or small sticks block on side.
Advanced sensors such as GPS and cam isn’t very precise outdoors. That’s why newer models come with its own positioning sender.
Sorry but this is a primary schools‘ view on money. I know this is how it been taught at school and this is entirely wrong.
I wonder how human societies survived without money, if this is so essential for the crap.
I wonder why people do crappy jobs for money? Is it because they need much money for things such as car, smartphone, playstation? For some food, you do not need much money. Actually you can grow it for yourself if you do not live in a big city.
Sure, if one got in this consumption trap, one needs a constant inflow of fresh money.
It does matter. How much worth is helping a friend? Or how much money for your neighbors for caring your pets while you‘re in holidays?
Don’t you think they will refuse to take money for this favor? Not everything in humankind can be paid for.
Same as ever…was that money wasn’t needed.
Do you need money within your neighborhood or your family? Do you pay people for giving a favor?

Technology@lemmy.world•Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition'English
3·4 months agoThis is exactely how most inventions are made: put together two things from different realms that might have a good fit.
Just wait a few years and they will find a way to use the light directly instead transferring it into electricity. There‘re some IC‘s that already use light instead of voltage to compute.
I work with of those shiny tech companies from China. Believe me the shiny part is on the surface only. The more you look under the hood, the more it’s getting poor. With Chinese tech the problems start when you have it. European companies before you have it. US companies when you have no scale.
Regarding Chinese regulations, you simply drill it down to: for the Government a human live is not worth much. Because „we are so many“
That’s a different thing indeed. In your case the AI 🤖 goes wild, will strip dance and tell poor jokes (while flirting with the ventilation machine)
I doubt it. It simply would be enough, if the AI could understand and say when it reaches its limits and hand over to a human. But that is even hard for humans as Dunning & Kruger discovered.
And then you‘re lying on the table. Unfortunately, your case is a little different than the standard surgery. Good luck.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The worst part of getting old is that you get less and less "first experiences" and are always comparing current with previous ones
1·4 months agoActually, this is where mastership comes from.
If you spend even more time, you‘ll become a master in this matter. Because you recognise the little differences to the former experiences. And you learn to handle and to steer it.
It‘s not all bad in not having a first experince only.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Decline of Usability: Revisited | datagubbe.seEnglish
41·4 months agoIt’s all Marketing. In order to attract users with fancy looking interfaces, many usability rules get overriden.
This started already years ago with the new, sleak looking Windows 10. Internally the usability problems were known. But marketing pushed for the release date. This UX drama was costly. over 5 billion in the air for the launch alone. Ending in a blame.

31·4 months agoEven though it’s common to bully on Microsoft, it’s not true in this case. There have been many studies and user tests to find an understandable way for users to reach that massive functionality of the MS office software. The Ribbon interface was the best in those testings.
Hail the new emperors - the big AI companies.
