Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How, exactly, does one make a living as a mathematician?
106·5 days agoFinance, there’s a whole lot of arcane statistics underlying risk management.
Tech, the bleeding edge of computer science is really just applied math.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life
181·6 days agoHoney Dipper.
As long as you spin it (along the axis of the handle), the honey stays on the stick and doesn’t drip all over everything. When you stop spinning, it drips all over your food.
It’s a niche tool but 11/10 at its one job.
If you can afford $9/mo, YNAB (You Need A Budget) is a great app for managing income and expenses that don’t necessarily align on a calendar schedule.
I get that budgeting won’t make up for insufficient income, but if it’s actually the financial habits that are holding you back, this app works wonders for learning how to properly plan your expenses.
If you’re into open source stuff and are willing to spend more effort tinkering, ActualBudget is the same concept, but lacks some QoL features (notably, auto-importing transactions from your bank/credit card statements). But all the data stays in your hands, not some company, so that’s good.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Good NAS solution for dummies / apple users?English
4·10 days agoSynology, with QNAP as a close #2. There are other decent options, but they aren’t quite as polished so they may require more “actual computer knowledge” to troubleshoot from time to time.

Linguistics@mander.xyz•Spanish expressions in US's English - are they common?
15·13 days agoPartly depends on where you are. Southwestern states that have a border with Mexico tend to have more native Spanish speakers (not just immigrants, but also Chicano folks who were on the land before the US took it), so even the native English speakers tend to pick up a little Spanish.
I don’t think this is a rating, but a diagram showing how tall the socks of the users of each distro are

Technology@lemmy.world•Half of the US Now Requires You to Upload Your ID or Scan Your Face to Watch PornEnglish
2·18 days agoDon’t kid yourself. Anti-porn lawmakers know that there are like 4 big porn sites and if you can shut down access to those ones, it is a huge step towards their goals.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Republicans Complain That Cars Have Become Too Safe, Say It Must Be ReversedEnglish
4·20 days agoI think we’re finally past the peak of tablet-ification of car dashboards. A lot of manufacturers have finally realized people hate it and newer models are putting all crucial functions on buttons and only putting infotainment stuff on the tablet.

Games@lemmy.world•Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"English
61·22 days agoThere’s also the massive gray area of “what do YOU define AI to mean?”
There are legitimate use cases for machine learning and neural networks besides LLMs and “art” vomit. Like, what AI used to mean to gamers: how the computer plays the game against you. That probably isn’t going to upset many people.
(IIRC, Steam’s AI disclosure is specifically about AI-generated graphics and music so that ambiguity might be settled here)
Yes, I can collaboratively edit within the desktop MS Word app. The online version is objectively worse for that, ironically.
Collaborative editing is the main thing that puts it above Libre in a professional setting.
I use Libre at home, but at work MS Office wins 😕
