Worse, it's an image of Britain.

Doesn't it undermine your faith in leadership knowing the people you vote for are capable of paying attention?

Trump rolled out tariffs 8 years ago and they fucked the economy. Trump went on and on about tariffs, AGAIN, and a bunch of people connected the dots and sold. YEARS after the first round of tariffs.

Only psychopathic greedy corrupt assholes could figure out how to sell stocks in time. Nobody else could have seen it coming.

Non-Americans: 21? I've been drinking since I was 10.

Non-Americans: I don't understand this shit.

SO is a collaborative encyclopedia of technical discussion that tries to be relevant, be practical, and to not constantly repeat topics.

LLMs can't provide that structure, they just shit out answers.

Most people think SO is a help desk and don't appreciate the structure and just want it to shit out an answer.

Maybe SO isn't dying so much as a cancerous growth is being treated.

This website hijacked my browser history so when I press 'back' I get taken to ads. Great post dude.

He's right. I went to highschool with 50 kids per class, where teachers played on their phones, or hid in their office, or just switched jobs requiring year round substitutes. I took remedial math because that was what had room, and when my teacher realized that he looked like he died inside a little bit.

He's right... in that AI is better than some teachers. AI is a step up for some kids.

It sounds like a joke but I really had someone stop me on the street to ask for the time and when I said 2:30 they asked "AM or PM?" I guess a 24 hour clock would've prevented that.

IIII was the way Romans usually wrote 4. It's associated with simplicity / illiteracy. But also depended on era, region, intended audience, or practicality. I think the most famous example is the coliseum using LIIII.

There's still variation even now; standardization is relatively new, and it's not common knowledge. And dates... it's like every 50-100 years people decided to write them differently.

I get anxiety thinking about thinking about "two sides." It's like alarm bells going off. Us vs them, simple and easy to understand explanation for current event, anything a frustrated or cynical person would generate automatically, etc.

TWO. SIIIIDES.

I love it. "Here's a petition to betray the country. Any separatists come forward and put your name on this list."

It will save sooooo much time.

Republican nepotism.

50 / 51 Republicans voting yes.

44 / 45 Democrats voting no.

"Democrats are bad." "It's the ratchet effect." "They're all against us."

Thailand is controlled by a military dictatorship and an idiot pussy of a king. They arrest foreigners and give them decades in prison, though they usually lower the sentence or pardon you if you beg for mercy and admit you're wrong.

They arrest foreigners for "insulting" the king. A tourist said a dress was ugly and was sent to prison because it turns out a princess designed the dress. Citizens say "repeal 112" (the law they use to imprison everyone) and they're sent to prison or mental institutions.

Well, if they do race there, hopefully it brings positive change somehow. Not like it matters anyways. No morals in FOM, FIA, etc.

Some of the best dj sets I've heard have come from dudes that dress like this.

11th and 12th is pain. And Kimi...

I like a lot about their games except when you need to act in their missions or scripted events. It's like you're in church performing a ritual.

Maybe if the underlying sim was not so simple, and they had consistent hooks for their 100s of mission designers to use, the missions and encounters wouldn't feel like you're running through a sequence of triggers. Currently it's like a pre-flight list of actions that are clunky enough that most players stumble over something.

To take out your weapon in RDR2 you press the button to shoot your gun. The only way the devs could simplify it further is by permanently bolting the guns to your hand like you're Daniel Radcliffe.

Our president is a Russian asset. That makes us a second world country. The more you learn!

"He's telling us not to use it, and then he's using it himself"

Just because the teacher might have screwed up doesn't change that experts in a subject can assess LLM output, while a student who knows jack shit about the topic can't. Just because the teacher messed up and let ai weirdness degrade the quality of education in the eyes of students, doesn't mean just anyone can use chatgpt to generate college courses.

I read the original article but not the interview. I wonder how much communication there was about the work before the student decided they deserved a refund.

I assume they are frustrated and they're talking about how a good heroic outcome has sinister alternatives at every fork in the road. Different people react differently and the people who heroically soldier on are not simply saving the day, they are like an extension of dangerous policy. They're never going to talk to the controller so it's more general I think. Like "don't be a hero, don't be like this guy, if your bosses create a deadly environment then walk away"

Edit: I can be hypocritical and an asshole so if I say try assuming people are correct, might want to just ignore me.
