Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How long is an average high school day in your culture/country?
2·1 day ago6-7 hours in India (0900-1500).
it uses a very simple algorithm.
That is AI too. If a machine can make a decision based on some input, it is AI. A (functional) if statement in a programme makes it AI.
This is why it’s important to distinguish between LLMs and AI. Turn off all LLMs and life will go on. Turn off all AI and you lose everything from automated supply chain management to room ACs.

Technology@lemmy.ml•HarmonyOS becomes the world’s third-largest mobile operating system, China’s MIIT says
41·7 days agoLinux isn’t very efficient, since it needs to run on everything from IoT devices to supercomputers. HarmonyOS can run on the Linux kernel for laptops and PCs, but can also be used with a dedicated microkernel that is optimised for smaller devices such as smartphones and wearables.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Every payment option has a feeEnglish
121·8 days agoDomestic transactions in my country have zero fees. Because it’s a fully computerised system. Because we live in the year 2026. Catch up.
I’m guessing there need to be a bunch of sensors to monitor the foetus’s growth. I’m also guessing by ‘robot’ they mean ‘machine with some decision making and executing capability’ and not ‘machine that looks like a human’.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is sales tax justified for what you get in return or too high?
21·10 days agoSovereign governments collect taxes to destroy money, not to fund things. They can fund things by creating money from thin air; the taxes are to remove money from circulation and control inflation.
That said, a government can decide what it wants to tax, and how much. Sales taxes hurt economic activity, and fall disproportionately on the poor, so a high sales tax is generally bad. You can either have a higher tax specifically for luxuries, or instead charge a wealth / income tax.

Technology@lemmy.ml•AliExpress was silently running audio in your browser to fingerprint and track your device
14·11 days agoWhile I’m sure companies would love to do this, won’t they need microphone permissions from the browser to get the reflected sound?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People who dress "nicely" to travel through airports, why?
2·11 days agoIt’s funny because in my country, the airport security would prefer you to wear light clothes so it doesn’t mess with their metal detectors. If you wear a formal dress with coats, belts, etc., then it makes their work harder and unless you are Muslim or Sikh they will probably ask you to remove the extra clothes.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•For both native and non-native English speakers: what word or phrase do you find especially difficult to pronounce?
1·12 days agoIn India, it’s usually feb-ru-(v)a-ree. Our languages write words as they are pronounced, and we’re too lazy to make an exception for English.

2·12 days agoThose 'r’s are silent. The previous vowel just gets lengthened.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[Question] rooting a xiaomi phone in 2026
1·13 days agoThat guide seems broadly correct, based on my experience unlocking an Indian MiUI device. But the exact steps and script vary slightly based on region (EU / India / China) and OS (MiUI vs HyperOS, with HyperOS being much harder to unlock). Guides might have bad English because most are written by Indians and Russians. You’ll have to put up with that. You can find help forums on Telegram, but avoid the scam ones (lots of ad-like posts from a single account, with no replies from other members).

Technology@lemmy.ml•Alibaba says it can build AI data centres in 100 days with modular design
3·13 days agoThe construction of a solar plant needs a lot less than a hundred days. But whether it would be economically viable depends on the location of the data centre. Most of these will probably be built in western China where generation exceeds demand, so they’ll probably just connect it to the grid.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[Question] rooting a xiaomi phone in 2026
2·13 days agoIs your phone running MiUI or HyperOS? And which country are you and the phone from?
The unlocking procedure is generally easier for models running MiUI, and for Indian / European devices, than for HyperOS / Chinese devices.
If rooting is too difficult for you, and your problem is with a single app, you can kill that app alone from Android Debug Bridge or using Universal Android Debloater. You might need to do this again after major version OS updates.

Technology@lemmy.world•Chinese video platform Bilibili is going global to challenge YoutubeEnglish
2·14 days agoI think a police truck lost control and ran over a dozen or so protestors somewhere in Beijing, killing many of them. Of course, this has since been exaggerated to an absurd degree.







Yeah, that’s common in India. Everyone is expected to learn the local language, English, and (in most places) Hindi. So people from different states communicate with each other in English. Similarly, the Union (=Federal) government uses English and Hindi while each state and territory can decide its own administrative language(s).
