  • Hello, Earlier this year, I've made [tournesol_bot](/u/tournesol_bot) lemmy account, to post every once a week, one of the current recommended video of Tournesol in this community. Recently, a tournesol account appear on Mastodon, and does more or less the same job of sharing recommended videos every week. So I decided to discontinue the recommending of videos here on this page. If you're interested to get some, please check-out https://peculiar.florist/@tournesolapp on your mastodon instance (or equivalent) ---- I also did update the community description, aiming now to talk about recommendation algorithms in general rather than to share videos (there are already a lot of communities for that purpose on Lemmy) So don't hesitate, if you see any news related to that thematic, to cross-post it here !

    Personally I prefer NASA's pronunciation, which is "charon".

    As a non native English speaker, I had to read your comments to understand the "Hot potato" one... Seems that I'm not as fluent in English as I thought (my accent is shit)

  • Is English just badly pronounced French?
  • Jakylla Jakylla 7mo ago 66%

    I can understand (I hate this video title actually), but yeah, telling that "That guy is an idiot" without listening at what he said is not smart

    During the video, he's listening and debating against some French (?) phylosoph I suppose, that basically said shit like English is just French; then this video adds details about why Yes, but also why not, and where yes and no

    Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video

    (Title is clickbait, video content is much more sourced and explained)

    xkcd #217: e to the pi Minus pi (31 Jan 2007)
  • Jakylla Jakylla 9mo ago 100%

    Comics are not only meant to present something that can happen IRL :P

    That kind of trolls happen occasionally in IT, where not everybody know well about maths and physics, they may easily fall into these kind of traps by taking granted that the maths you gave is more trustful than computer code they wrote (usual kind of joke to make your friend understand that he what was doing something wrong or without understanding)

    Also, in Uni, we were all little Satans, trying more to break others students works instead of trying to improve self (that was a true war among IT students). All means were used, this kind of troll (as depicted in this comics) to make the other loose time is truly expected

    Classical "type Alt+F4 before saving your code to automatically fix bugs" kind of joke

    You know, Kurzgesagt is not only an English channel, but it also provide video translated in multiple other languages on others translated Kurzgesagt channels. I was looking for something to help me find Kurzgesagt video in other languages, and found this spreadsheet. I don't know if there is a more official website or tool for that, but this is the only thing I found. I thought it may be interesting for you too It isn't fully complete though, for example the "Portugese" column is almost empty, and recent videos are not present. But it's open to edition, so we can participate to keep it up to date ----- If you have a more official list, I'll be interested (and I'll edit this post to prefer sharing the official list). For now I'll be using this spreadsheet as it's mostly filled and as I didn't find anything else
