Native plant identity in c/gardening@lemmy.world

“Tansy is on Minnesota's "control" noxious weed list, which means efforts are supposed to be made to control its spread, but there aren't really any programs in place to make that happen, let alone eradicate it.”

It appears that I should eliminate it as it is an invasive species. I do like it better than the 10 other invasive species in that same garden bed though.

Does anyone happen to know what plant this is? It popped up it my untamed garden area also known as my weed garden.

Conservation work can be confusing I guess

Don’t lose hope, just pretend to with sarcasm. Or if you are feeling down it could work the other way too.

AI and misinformation (journals.sagepub.com)
 

This was a good article on AI systems dealing with misinformation and disinformation.

Is it possible to just pull the plug on the bad robots?

I noticed today that bookkeeping and Zelda quests are the same. If you lose your spot or forget what you were doing it takes hours to get back on track.

I’m in the habit of running old iPhones and iPods so I guess I just like to make my life difficult. I don’t have a MacBook though which is why I was stuck. I’m going to plug it in to my Linux laptop and see how it works

I did a nice strawberry rhubarb pie a couple summers ago that turned out nice 😋

I have found that this rhubarb has been a great companion for the apple tree as it shades the roots and competes well with the weeds such as the incessant and detestable buttercups

The Matrix Philosophy (infosec.pub)

This morning I recalled a line from the Matrix series about “asking the right questions” which led me to this nice collection of quotes that someone has put together.

Enjoy and share your favourite quote.

I appreciate that this film series includes many views of spirituality and provokes us to think and ask important questions.

Cool thanks, I’m going to switch my business email next year sometime after I use up my business cards so I will check it out. Someone posted a great link with overviews of the different European email providers that was helpful.

Has anyone attempted to build moral principles into an AI model?

Adam Smith Economist or Fascist (sh.itjust.works)
 

I was thinking about Adam Smith the other day. He is considered the father of modern economics. Many of his philosophies focus on division of labour and free and open trade. He is also credited with establishing many core ideas included in Capitalism which some view as pure evil and others view as good for everyone.

A few questions:

  1. Does capitalism tend to gravitate towards fascist ideologies?
  2. Is a system that generates wealth intrinsically bad?
  3. Who should oversee the equal distribution of wealth in a society? Who decides what is fair?
  4. Adam Smith, Economist, Capitalist, or Fascist or all of the above?

Hopefully I have phrased things clearly. I realize I’m covering quite a few different topics. I have been recently studying philosophies of fascism to better understand the main ideas they promote.
