I don’t know if all do, but the few French people I had pizza with, all of them used knife and fork.
In a nice Italian restaurant in Berlin, all the people I saw used knife and fork, I did too not to fit but those pizzas had a crazy thin base and a lot of sauce and things on top, trying to pick a slice with the hand would end very badly, so maybe in other places the people would have used the hand.

3·3 months agoWe have difficulties even between regions in the same country. There is a TV series called The day of the Jackal where the British main character is married to a woman from Cadiz and they live there and interact with her family.
I couldn’t understand the woman and her family, I had to use the English captions to follow the story.

Technology•White House tech chief slams EU AI Act, champions Trump's approach as Davos beginsEnglish
5·3 months agoMe at a congress about technology and medicine.
Presentation about future of AI in medicine.
The speaker complains that current European laws blocks progress.
The laws? GDPR, medical data protection, and privacy.
In that congress there were two sides on AI in healthcare, one making emphasis on improving care and outcomes and huge emphasis on privacy and security, and the other envisioned a Medical Minority Report/Big Brother-like future where there is zero human connection with the patient.

1·3 months agoThere are a lot of companies that have migrated to Google and only kept a few Office licenses for cases that MSWord is imperative in order to do properly their job (eg. exchange documents with third parties that only accept docx and the compatibility with GDocs is not perfect).
It depends on the cost and other factors used to sweeten the deal.
And w.r.t. Teams, I never had a good experience with it (regarding virtual meetings), meanwhile I never had an issue with Google Meet.
Well, I usually focus on the side quests 😓
It doesn’t matter how good is internet connection nowadays, the source in the server is still encoded losing some quality.
Tried to watch Batman Begins in HBO Max, despite being offered as 4K UHD, the loss of information was noticeable on my OLED tv, specially the blacks (as you know, there is almost no black colour in Batman /s).
A friend of mine lend me his Nolan’s Batman trilogy on BR 4K UHD and it was like night and day.
Since the lbs I’m buying physical for movies that I like the most and want to watch them in the highest quality possible.
Not as much as DDR5, but DDR4 has increased its price a lot.
I bought 128GB on Amazon in 2024 for around 240€, went to the product page recently and it is around 1100€.

1·4 months agoIn some places it is CSAM and in others it is being working into convert into law.
I think the issues are:
- It can pass as real
- Unlike run-of-the-mill cartoon porn, real photos of children (even not CSAM) are involved, either in the training or as input for the generation
“We repeat the experiment with a newer dataset and act like we are the first doing this kind of experiment”
“We talk about possible applications in the future writing like your run-of-the-mill generalist newspaper”

Gentle taps on your head
You are a good girl
Where are those girls at the end of the pipeline?
I want to praise them.

Ask Lemmy•Have you ever tried to "acquire" a taste? (Ie. spent time eating/imbibing something you didn't like at first to start to enjoy it.)
2·4 months agoUnsweetened yoghurt. I wanted to reduce the amount of sugar I take, then doing keto I also avoided artificial sweeteners too.
What at first I had to force myself a little turned to be my preferred type.
By accident I recently bought a pack of sweetened yoghurts, I found it disgusting, too sweet.
With coffee it’s the same (the one it is not properly done, like from capsules or vending machines), I stopped adding artificial sweeteners too during keto, now doesn’t matter how awful the coffee at the office is, I find it worse when sweetened.
I swear that there has been instances of a season 2 being cancelled before airing the first one.
