All the useless mathematical technics from studying physics at university. Now working in software engineering, I barely use more than highschool math, sometimes.
Instead of spending weeks writing down equations I wish I had learned more about science history, breakthrough experiments, other sciences etc.
Those maths are only useful for a tiny percentage of the students that will eventually become theoritical physics researchers.
It’s the curse of studying science in France, it’s unnecessarily math heavy.

Baroque musique for example is often played at A = 415 Hz as opposed to 440 Hz, so someone who has their absolute pitch set on A = 440 Hz, because it is the current international standard, may be very disturbed.

I didn’t imply the price was an issue, I’m just converting to a currency most readers would understand better.

Musicians well trained in music theory can correctly sing intervals given a first reference note (relative pitch). Then a small portion of them also have the ability to not need a reference note to find the correct pitch, it’s called absolute pitch (there’s a debate if it’s an innate ability, and it is a superpower with downsides).
So the answer is yes, at least with a first reference note. But it may take years of practice. I think all professional classical musicians have this ability.

I thought it was going to be some interesting misunderstanding about how the Japanese consider fruits as luxury gifts while Western culture sees them as daily life food. But it’s a bad joke about melons and boobs…

They used to call you cancer but now they say they love you?

Once not only the internet traffic, but also real-life traffic becomes predominantly humanoid robots. You will need to ingest a pill probe to prove that you have a gut microbiot like only real animals do.

You are absolutely right!

If I’m loyal to someone, it is because this person earned it by being loyal to me too. It needs to go both ways.
Maybe you’re considering the feudal type of loyalty where it mostly goes up? I don’t support that, I would feel exploited.
If I think they are wrong, then my loyalty will not make me support them being wrong, it will motivate me to make them understand they are wrong.
It’s if I don’t care about someone that I will let them be wrong.

As anything in French, there are exceptions like “femme” et “monsieur” but they are fewer and more manageable than for English.

Artificial intelligence is the key driver of the boom: 1,038 of the newly founded startups have a clear AI focus—more than one in three—and thus more than in all of 2025. The software sector remains by far the strongest industry, with 844 new startups. But the boom is also evident in other fields: Medicine (274) and the food sector (181) are among the sectors with the highest number of new startups—AI applications and related technological advances are also key drivers of development here.

I wonder if the “fake it (with AI) until you make it” will have similar or worse success rate than before AI. Startups sure didn’t wait for AI to produce bullshit.

To be clear, the wind projects are in the USA. If only stupid decisions of one government didn’t impact the whole planet.

You will get an email at some point asking you if you would accept some well paid contract to train an LLM to answer like you would. That’s how they simulate professional behavior on top of the probabilistic monsters that is behind.

Adding for context that one reason for this is that Lemmy was created by radical (to remain consensual) leftists, and the default instance (also maybe the first big one) they administrate Lemmy.ml (ML stands for Marxist-Leninist) has the same leaning population.
But, so far, afaik, the software itself is still neutral, so you can find instances and communities that fit your needs.
However, this initial leaning is still going to surface from time to time even after spending time blocking the instances and communities you don’t want to see, as users can move around freely.

Becoming an elementary schoolteacher does not magically extract you from the culture you have been living in your whole life.
It’s not a mass shooting job, it’s “shooting the student” that made her loose her work, according to the article.
The reason I mentioned comedy TV shows, is that they are a good source of what’s consensual behavior for the time and place where they have been created. Those TV shows have this kind of behavior because they are also a normal behavior in society.
Those shows are mostly American (but I have observed the same in France, Spain, and Japan), so it seems your are an exception there with your intolerance of this common human behavior.
