LLMs not being able to tell us what bread tastes like has nothing to do with intelligence. it's a qualia. I think you meant it cannot KNOW what bread tastes like... although I still don't understand why you'd think that's a requirement for intelligence
Ha ha ha, I chose those specific examples because of a specific person. I had to work with that person for 6 months and it it felt like all they wanted to talk about was how you can't get good pizza (you can) or how the shelves are always empty (they're not) or how the water here tastes weird. (I mean, maybe. That's subjective) By the end I just wanted to scream at them. We had a very heated debate about tipping culture one day at lunch. They didn't understand that "I used to work in hospitality, and I wouldn't have survived without tips" is not an argument in favour of tipping culture.
I realise I've generalized here, and it's not fair to judge everyone by one irritating example. Sorry about that
Take a look at the skills shortages list as well, because if you can get a job in something on that list, you'll have a much easier time. We desperately need Healthcare workers
You will be welcome here for the most part, but I have started noticing some things that are starting to annoy me, and I know I'm not alone, so fair warning:
Please remember why you're coming here. Nothing annoys me more than Americans who move here and then never shut up about how things were better back home. We have no 2a, our stores are small, and we don't tip. I consider those to be GOOD things. Also, even our right wing party (National) would be considered center left over there. (Sadly that seems to be changing)
If you're just looking for what America was 15 years ago, Australia is what you're looking for. That's not a joke either, I mean that very seriously, Australia is a better fit. It's the USA of the southern hemisphere (sorry Aussies, but tell me I'm wrong)
Unfortunately that's not going to happen. They're something people have become accustomed and addicted to. There's no going back now. The only hope for combating them is to come up with something at least as compelling, but hopefully less harmful. Like vaping is to smoking. What that is though, I have no idea.
Ha ha ha, ye, practical it is not! In my defense, it started as trying to solve a real problem I was having. The keyboard doesn't have a capslock/numlock indicator, so I had the idea of using the backlight as an indicator.
Got that running, but I was having fun so I decided to make a little snake game
Showed that to a friend who made the usual joke of "ok yeah, but what about doom?"
I knew it was going to be unplayable, but I've never actually put doom onto something weird before and it felt like a rite of passage, so I thought why not. It was surprisingly easy! Only took an hour or so thanks to doomgeneric
I hope it will be considered insane that we pump livestock full of them as a preventative measure, rather than as a treatment, while also prescribing them for every little thing.
When our current antibiotics are no longer effective at all, I hope that we'll be able to find new ones and that we'll be much more responsible with their use. I hope that people in the future will be as incredulous at our current use of them, as we are of using arsenic in makeup.
Anybody seen that show "Leave the World Behind" on Netflix where the ultra-rich basically just get a heads up before anyone else that the shit is about to hit the fan?
Ye, I agree with you. I made the comment as a joke, but I don't actually believe these people are stupid. This is a generalisation, but I think they're largely uneducated and brainwashed, but still very intelligent, and curious people. You can see this in some of the experimentation that they do that's really sound from a scientific method POV. The internet is littered with flat earthers disproving themselves.
The best ones admit they're wrong, and abandon flat earth. I have nothing but respect for those people.

We'll figure that out later. In the mean time, lets just keep them concentrated in one place, like a resort... or camp
