It’s generally just for my sole access, but it occasionally gets visited by building maintenance people and other tenants who decide to go exploring

There’s no water or electricity there.
How high do bees fly? This is on top of a multi-story building. Not gigantic, but more than a couple
Exactly. As i said its a pain to get to, and i have nice outdoor places to hang right outside my building, so can’t be used the way OP described

Technology@lemmy.world•Researchers Put Google Gemini in Charge of an Entire Coffee Shop, and It's Inexorably Driving It Out of BusinessEnglish
8·1 day agoI don’t know if that’s true, especially in comparison to ai. I think a competent random human would do research before taking charge of a coffee shop and be in reasonably good shape from day one. For sure some mistakes would be made, but i think generally the operation would run ok.
But all of that misses the key difference - a human doing this wouldn’t be a random person, they would usually have relevant past experience, like previously being an assistant manager at a coffee shop. So they would manage the shop way better than this ai did.
Maybe if they create an ai that has been specially designed to manage a business then it might perform as well or better than a human, possibly. But just throwing a standard ai in the role is gonna work much less well than a human.

Does your greenhouse have sides, a top, and at least 1 door? Then the space inside there is indoors.

Oh and here’s how Tom Cruise REALLY looks in 2026, even in his real runway pr pics -
For real. I’ve seen recent photos of Tom Cruise where he’s looking raggedly old. A runway PR press pic isn’t at all representative of how a person looks compared to a pic on the street in the middle of a regular day shot by a paparazzi using a telephoto lens when the subject was unaware that their picture was being taken.
Ridiculous meaningless comparison.
And on top of that, it’s totally ok for a person to just live their regular life and not spend tons of life energy trying to look a certain way.
As i said in my original post, “A dumb circuit without even a single chip in it could do that.” Vibration units can literally just respond to voltage. It’s how electrical devices worked before chips, like old pinball machines and old radios. It works just like how a standing fan works - there’s a mechanical motor, and you literally just need to attach plain copper wires onto the motor’s contact points and stick the other ends of the wire into the slots of a wall power outlet.
I don’t think that actually answers OP’s question. If all it does is vibrate then it doesn’t need any software. It presumably just has a single button that turns vibration on/off and maybe cycles through vibration levels. A dumb circuit without even a single chip in it could do that.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What plants can take care of themselves and are eco friendly in nyc?English
3·10 days agoGood suggestions, thanks!
A trough or elevated bed or ongoing maintenance isn’t possible in the kind of quick hit unofficial guerilla action that i can do.
The thing that got me thinking it is that I’ve seen years-abandoned pots on nyc rooftops that have wild plants that grew themselves there. So the conditions (whatever they are) can easily support unattended plant life, so the question is which ones will work there that are good for pollinators or the environment?

51·10 days agoZillions of wild plants grow extremely well in unattended planter pots in nyc. They’re all over the place.
And there’s no such thing as “weeds”. A weed just means a plant that grew itself in a spot where a person didn’t want it to be. A weed is just a plant.

When people set out empty planters of soil they always wind up growing lush with random plants. The question isn’t what plants can grow by themselves there, because that does itself. -
My question is what plants can i plant there that would be especially good for the environment?

31·10 days agoThat’s not true. There’s tons of plants that grow gangbusters in unattended street planters, and heck even cracks in the sidewalk

Thanks but i think you didn’t read the post
