Rule 6 states "No US politics", but methinks this is kinda grey on that one.

Upvote this post if you think we should allow posts in AskLemmy.world on the current situation in Iran (provided they don't clearly break the existing rules), and down vote if you think they should be banned.

The impact that wiped out the dinosaurs also wiped out all songbirds, except for in (ark) Australia. Australian songbirds then spread out to rest of the planet.

The closest living descendents (aka basal lineages) are the Lyrebird and the Rufus scrub bird. The lyrebird's song is a mixture of its own song and other birds songs. They have been also been known to mimic chainsaws, car alarms, camera shutters, and human speech.

For those who aren't familiar with the term, it means believing something that probably shouldn't be believed, or being influenced to believe something that's not necessarily in your best interests.

I'm getting a bit sick of large corporations a) demanding excess data as a condition of doing business with me, b) allowing it to be stolen, and c) giving zero fucks about it.

What are some things that us netizens can do to make our displeasure known.

Extra points for funny ideas.

How does it work for you?

Hi everyone, had anyone played with alternative battery technology to try and bring the cost of storage down when weight and space are not an issue? Zinc bromine? Nicole iron?

I've got a bot running/in development to detect and flag toxic content on Lemmy but I'd like to improve on it as I'm getting quite a few false positives. I think that part of the reason is that what constitutes toxic content often depends on the parent comment or post.

During a recent postgrad assignment I was taught (and saw for myself) that a bag of words model usually outperforms LSTM or transformer models for toxic text classification, so I've run with that, but I'm wondering if it was the right choice.

Does anyone have any ideas on what kind of model would be most suitable to include a parent as context, but to not explicitly consider whether the parent is toxic? I'm guessing some sort of transformer model, but I'm not quite sure how it might look/work.
