    “Caused” was not a good term but like i said i made that comment half jokingly

    I find that almost everything can be boiled down to just be a display of quantum mechanics which is why id place it as more fundamental.

    I cant really say that about gravity/spacetime though. Maybe someday we do find that it also is but for now it seems to be distinct.

    Thanks for a well written reply.

    Though i still dont quite get this

    the electromagnetic force itself doesn’t “arise” from quantum mechanics, and you can explain things like electromagnets and a lot of common electric circuits (until you need a transistor) quite well without considering quantum mechanics.

    You seem to say if we can explain x without y then y cannot be fundamental to x.

    But can electromagnetism at all emerge if the quantum mechanics dont exist to emerge things like magnetism and some of the behavior of electrons?

    Maybe i am wording it wrong. I did make the comment half joking but my current understanding of how magnetism really works, which my physics teacher was unable to answer has a chapter on wikipedia called Quantum-mechanical origin of magnetism

    I have no degrees in this stuff though, i just think about them recreationally.

    The carrier particle thing to describe a fundamental force is new to me, and honestly feels very counterintuitive to how i started to understand things.

    Gravity is a fundamental force just like electromagnetism (supposedly)

    Fundamental means it cannot be explained by being caused by something else.

    But then they say gravity is an effect caused by spacetime curvature and electromagnetism is caused by quantum phenomena.

    What is the cause for spacetime or quantummechanics? Idk but somehow they don’t make it on the list of fundamental forces.

    Classical science, for all the good it did and does, is an unironic joke and if aliens knew about it they’d be laughing at us.





  • Based on the headline this is not about blocking ai scrappers but by making them pay to do it.

    Based on the discussion below which moved that goalpost the most likely answer is by making it cheaper to scrape “legally” then it costs to mimic millions of individual residential browsers with human users.

    I don’t know how many aces cloudflare has up its sleep to detect secret ai but they definitely have the tools to make it pretty costly and difficult. There is also a broadband impact difference between a few capitalist megapigs scrapping secretly versus loads of global basement dwellers and smaller companies scrapping worry free.



  • For one by being family and friends supporting those that do have official roles in society. Like a grandma tanking care for grandkids. Or a disabled men always being there to cheer people on at the local sport field.

    In another by having freedom to do what they find valuable for their communities, like creating a shared community garden, helping to organize free local events.

    And even if they do decide to just sit on the coach and do absolutely fuck all and wait for others to prepare their food, which is scientificaly known to not be what anyone wants to do and cause depression, they still aint doing as much evil and damaging as Bezos is right this moment.

    Go watch some star trek, it will help you understand.



  • And the same goes for all the freeloading animals. They say there are species still left undiscovered in the rain forest, if that is true then surely the fact we dont know they exist means they are not contributing and don’t deserve those trees they live in that could provide real tangable profit. Getting rich by cutting them down that is real value /s

    Seriously the notion you need to earn to live, especially in the context where that only means economic labor is toxic and the true negative.

    I will remind you that “the economy” itself is increasingly negative towards society, destroying the future for a profit. And that people without jobs still provide plenty of positives if not, less negatives then “successfull” people like board directors and ceo



  • If your feed has lots of ai i would also recommend blocking some posters, though in my experience lemmy has way more anti ai and downvoting of annything ai then whatever is left of the mainstream networks.

    Another recomendation is to join a smaller instance you align with, you will have a much better experience.

    Yes we do go rather hard left. Especially when it comes to the only war that counts, the class war, ruling elites versus the exploited masses. Its part of what makes this place so refreshing because corporate media heavily dislikes the need for global change. Causing people that agree to flock here.

    And yes you can easily get radicalized here, another thing which is refreshing is how up front and not secretive people are about the fact we do alot of self propaganda for our personal flavor of ideals. After all lemmy is not for children (suprisingly many older people) you have to form your own opinions and people tend to be (on average) more respectfull towards diversity in idealogy. You don’t get insta downvoted as much as you get honest replies of someone wanting to discuss it.
