  • My friends would probably say something like "I've never heard that one, but I guess it means something like ..."

    Ok, but the point is that lots of people would just say something and then figure out if it's right later.

    The problem is, these LLMs don't give any indication when they're making stuff up versus when repeating an incontrovertible truth. Lots of people don't understand the limitations of things like Google's AI summary* so they will trust these false answers. Harmless here, but often not.

    Quite frankly, you sound like middle school teachers being hysterical about Wikipedia being wrong sometimes.

  • Their office is downtown, go down and ask to talk to someone. Don't leave until they ask you to.

    You have no obligation not to inconvenience them.

    Search for the company on LinkedIn, click through its employees. Have them get a bunch of 'Appeared in Searches' notifications from LinkedIn. Make sure they feel seen by a bunch of their fellow citizens.

  • Try this on your friends, make up an idiom, then walk up to them, say it without context, and then say "meaning?" and see how they respond.

    Pretty sure most of mine will just make up a bullshit response nd go along with what I'm saying unless I give them more context.

    There are genuinely interesting limitations to LLMs and the newer reasoning models, and I find it interesting to see what we can learn from them, this is just ham fisted robo gotcha journalism.

  • Based on the shape, at first I it thought was one of the new mesh network streetlights, but after zooming in more I think you're right, it looks like an antenna box for a wireless metering network.

  • I will just say, having gone through a real rough year, it's not always black and white. I be vulnerable with the boys and ask for help, but I need time to process first, and to do it in the way I want and the time I want.

    In the meantime, I am often sending memes for that small comfort of friendship while I process.

  • I mean, yeah, I'm not saying don't use one ever, there's just a lot of people in here very confident that they're essential.

    And the only downside I would say, is that if you put a scratchable surface on top of an unscratchable screen, then your screen is going to look scratched up more often, during the period after the protector gets scratched but before you replace it.

    Though this is a relatively minor downside if you are seriously risking scratching the glass underneath.

  • But like, what do you have in your pocket? My phone goes in my right pocket with my earbuds, my left pocket has my wallet and keys if needed.

    If I'm doing construction work and have screws and drill bits and stuff on me I put them in my hoodie pocket, back pocket, mouth, or just put my phone down on the table nearby...

    Like I get it if you had a purse or handbag you regularly kept it in but if it's just from stuff in your pockets why do you always have sharp stuff in the same pocket?

  • This thread is mostly confirmation bias.

    People who use screen protectors see them get scratched up and think 'oh wow, thank God it saved my screen', and then buy replacements, not realizing that their screen protector, be it plastic or cheap glass, is not remotely as strong as the Gorilla Glass underneath.

    In reality they're mostly just putting a scratchable surface on top of a relatively unscratchable one, and then get the impression they're doing something when the scratchable surface gets scratched.

  • I've used my phone heavily for 2+ years and have incredibly minor, have to look for them, scratches, and that's with fully dropping it on its face multiple times.

    Honestly do not understand the purpose of screen protectors, I haven't had a serious screen scratch since like gorilla Glass 1 days.

    I'm pretty sure this thread is basically just entirely confirmation bias from people who don't realize that the glass in screen protectors is far weaker than the gorilla Glass in your phone. A scratched screen protector is not necessarily a sign that your phone screen would've been scratched had it not been there.

  • I have honestly never heard GDP per capita used to say that Canada is dysfunctional, I've just seen it used to say that the US has FAR more resources than us (or virtually anyone else) per person and just distribute them badly.
