That’s part of the classic way of dating. Going out with people who aren’t your friends is what happens when you’ve fucked your way through your entire friend group and want to meet someone new.

Gosh I really gotta get a real job again. The RLHF gig work has been great while I’ve been in school - flexibility, good pay - but I’ve known the whole time that it won’t last. Gig workers will be the last consideration when it all falls apart

Is it no longer gauche to refer to oneself as an artisan?

“Summer” isn’t the dry season in all climates; in fact it is the wet season in the majority of climates

Wait, is being “the next dinosaurs” going extinct or dominating earth for 150 million years? If the former, it seems like a bad comparison since Homo spp have only lasted something like 4% of the dinosaurs’ planetary tenure

If you are maturing in a place without access to libraries or without access to independent theaters (a dispersed, rural area or under a shoestring or autocratic government) then I will concede this. But if you live in a city that provides these things, then access to YT does not provide an adequate ROI (in terms of the negative consequences it introduces) over a library or regular visits to the art museum

You’re thinking like an individual and a power user which blinds you to why MS office is actually dominant

Guaranteed closed pathway to promotion. Worst case scenario is probably quiet firing

They should prolly change their name from the free press to the $8.33/mo press

Maybe. Personally I don’t think I would enjoy doing math if I was good at it. Seems like it would take all the fun out of it

People who have no hope for the future don’t bother trying to avoid having kids either though, and rarely does hopelessness result in giving up the kind of indulgences that result in unplanned children - it more often increases their appeal

I think your analysis sounds nice (to ears of a particular temperament) but is quite easily dismissed as poppycock

I thought I disliked blueberries until I tried wild ones and their relatives, up in the cascades, or out in the boundary waters...

Life changing

I’ll never understand why people mock scientists for publishing evidence supporting their beliefs

tl;dr for everyone: disrupt the conservative academic establishment*

*unspoken or unintended consequence being so that the oligarchy can seize the authority of intellectual credibility

If the review was “this restaurant is ok” I don’t think they got sick from eating bad food so your example is irrelevant. Also typically getting sick from restaurant food is a complaint for the health department, not yelp

> it’s somewhat demoralising working with a bunch of corporate office workers cosplaying as engineers

Why is the meaning of your own life derived from your perception of the lives of others? Or rather, why is it that when you judge others’ lives as inauthentic you find your own to be so too?

Nothing will ever be enough, for all interpretations of the statement, reveling in all the irony, pathos, and prideful triumph that could possibly be extracted from such interpretations from here to eternity

Humans will keep inventing and remixing

Contradictory anecdote: there’s basically only one way to write Elm, as it is a very trend-resistant language with minimal updates over long timespans, but most agents in my experience will throw Haskell syntax and Prelude functions into their Elm output. Compiler or LSP will often set them right but they still try it initially

Despite the title, the article sure makes it seem like it’s the private company that runs the state’s warehouse’s fault; at least that’s who most of the interviewed retailers blame

Or you could spare the five minutes to watch the credits, seeing the names of all those people who made the movie you just enjoyed. Discuss the film during that time so you don’t spoil people in the library. Make some new friends.

It’s very rare that I maximize an application. I’m always stacking. However, I don’t think it’s an optimizing assumption: I am frequently fighting with the window manager as I rearrange my windows and it automatically maximizes them because I got too close to an edge of the screen

In general my browser is dead center or slightly to the right so I can access my other windows (terminal, throw away text editor, etc) easily where command tab is insufficient (when I have multiple terminal windows, eg)

The Nova framework for classifying processed foods was created in 2009 by a Brazilian epidemiologist

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_classification

Presumably, since the first citation in the paper is said epidemiologist (Monteiro), this is the framework they rely on.

Unless you’re intent on scientific gatekeeping, in which case having actually read the reported study (it’s linked in the article fyi) would have offered much more effective methods of rebuttal than semantic quibbles.

Yes but some who have posted rather incendiary (and since-deleted) comments in response to you and others had created their accounts just today

PSA: Check the account age before responding to any comments in this thread

Well, you didn’t share the exact text of the original prompt but you described yourself as having asked it to do something. These models are being trained for agentic behavior on data where an agent is asked _to do something_, and as their output is purely probabilistic, the rewarded response will then often include the text “I have done something” even though they have not done something. Perhaps there _is_ an issue with the integration that caused your experienced response, but purely based on my experience and the limited information you gave, my immediate guess is that the model positively associates your prompt with the generated response

That doesn’t seem weird. Wrong, sure, but not out of the ordinary

Okay, let’s talk about that first command: sort all files in this directory by relevance. Relevance to what? Is this a permanent sort (what does it do to the file names?) or just a reordered ls output? What button in what OS is this superseding? Is this really an huge improvement over the smart search functionality in most OSes (besides requiring an open terminal and additional keystrokes for the abstractions)?

Some of these are slick despite not really being examples of the obsolescence of UX idioms. But that first one is a very strange example to lead with.

The video shows her driving away from the officers. They approach her window, she backs up a bit, turns her tires away from the officers and starts driving forward when the agent fires into the car

I don’t want anyone to be sick, and I think that’s the point of these drugs, but there seems to be a lot of finger pointing rather than celebration

The west = the western hemisphere, the new world, the Americas, from the Northwest Territories to Patagonia

But why trouble yourself to distinguish anyway? 30% of the Irish are obese, 28% of the UK, nearly a quarter of Belgians and Germans. If over a fifth of your population is sick, does it really bolster your national ego so much that some other place is sicker?
