I live on acreage, so I can do the same but with animals in my region. That’s besides the point.

What you’re saying is just….walking, sitting, and looking. You can do that in the city, just at different things.

Yet they don’t mention anywhere that you can self host it free of charge, so for people who have never heard of it before have no way of knowing that you can. Not only that, but the only mention of self hosting says you still have to pay!

It’s deceptive.

Does every unemployed person just……die?

Go tell Google, they’ll pay you millions in big bounties for how Israel is doing this. Unless of course you have zero evidence that app developers can do this in Android……

Yeh thought so.

That’s not long term memory lol

[–] FreedomAdvocate 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (3 children)

It has everything to do with short term memory. These words wouldn’t be getting committed to long term memory lol

I also grew up before mobile phones and the internet.

Yeah I’ve just seen that, pretty dodgy on their part if you ask me. Going by their website it’s impossible to use it without paying, they even say that self hosting has a subscription cost.

GitHub is usually where you get linked to from official websites.

You might want to change your website then, because it doesn't say that anywhere. Like.....anywhere at all. Subscription costs are mentioned literally everywhere that you look for anything to do with installing/setting it up.

Not a single mention of being able to self-host it without a subscription on here your homepage, https://linkwarden.app/, but a mention of self-hosting with a subscription cost attached.

Edit: Oh I finally see one that doesn't mention a subscription! Under self hosting in that last screenshot, long after the "getting started" and "billing and subscription" sections lol. If this wasn't intentional (it most likely is), it's extremely bad UX.

Nothing stops you from making up a sentence the way I did. You’re shown a string of 12 random letters and you will get $1000 if you can repeat them from memory tomorrow. You can’t make up a weird memorable sentence in a few minutes with $1000 on offer? Idk about you, but most of us could use the extra $1000 and would jump at the chance.

I just addressed that.......

Again though - you made a real sentence out of a random string of letters. What OP is asking isn’t a real sentence, nor a string of letters that you can use to make your own real sentence.

That's not what OP is asking. OP is saying that every day you'll get a random word, not a letter. It's not the next word in a sentence/paragraph - just a random word. You cannot use the same trick of making a sentence using the letters you have to remember as the first letter of each word, because you are being given the words you have to remember.

To believe that most people could remember 50 random words, in the correct order, is absurd. There are plenty of sources saying that the average person can remember less than 10, even when talking about random numbers instead of words. It has been studied for decades, if not over a hundred years by now, and the closest you'll get to a consensus of the number of words or even numbers people can just remember in their short term memory is .......... drumroll...........7!

Countless psychological experiments have shown that, on average, the longest sequence a normal person can recall on the fly contains about seven items. This limit, which psychologists dubbed the "magical number seven" when they discovered it in the 1950s, is the typical capacity of what's called the brain's working memory.

As a sentence or a string of numbers gets longer, it becomes exponentially harder for the excited cluster to suppress the others from firing, resulting in pathways that are weak or barely there. Recalling seven items requires about 15 times the suppression needed to recall three. Ten items requires inhibitory powers that are 50 times stronger, and 20 or more items would require suppression hundreds of times stronger still. That, Rabinovich explained, is normally not biologically feasible.

I doubt there is even a single person here on Lemmy that would be able to get even remotely close to 100 words. Maybe 1 or 2 could hit 50......but highly unlikely.

I'm referring to the fact that they specifically exclude the biggest companies because they know they can state and show what they use AI for and how it benefits them.

Think of the 100s of lines of stupid Monty Python dialogue that every nerd of a certain age can recite without even having tried to remember it on purpose.

That works because they're real sentences, and sentences have structure and make sense. Reciting a 50 word paragraph from a book/movie word for word is infinitely easier than remembering 50 random words in the correct order.

So the 12 random letters are acobjomepaxr. A crusty old bastard jumped on my exquisitely pampered, ancient xenophobic rodent. That took a minute to concoct but it helped the words sink in.

Again though - you made a real sentence out of a random string of letters. What OP is asking isn't a real sentence, nor a string of letters that you can use to make your own real sentence.

I haven't even tried to fuck a sheep outside of a city, let alone in one!
