There it is. Their chatbots need more training data and reinforcement feedback.

Fam if you need to use reddit don't feel bad about it. "The trick is not to ignore the mainstream, but to selectively raid it for things we can use." -M. Gunderloy

Judging from this meme, it might be a cat burglar.

On the bright side, it probably wasn't AI-generated.

Wait, those aren't even pants, those are breeches.

There are a couple abilities involved:

• knowing something
• modeling a learner: understanding someone else's current level of knowledge and the nature of their lack of knowledge such as misconceptions.
• instruction skill: having the ability to remedy the learner's misconceptions and build upon their existing knowledge to transmit the knowledge/skill

The last two are nontrivial. You ever told someone the answer to something and they just didn't get it? Even though it was stunningly obvious to you? The last two are why.

Anyway, to your point: a lot of times the best action is just to point someone in the right direction.

ikr sounds like that thing where Socrates' wisdom was realizing that he was not wise.

Socrates then sought to solve the divine paradox—how an ignorant man also could be the wisest of all men—in effort to illuminate the meaning of the Oracles' categorical statement that he is the wisest man in the land. After systematically interrogating the politicians, the poets, and the craftsmen, Socrates determined that the politicians were not wise like he was. He says of himself, in reference to a politician: "I am wiser than this man; it is likely that neither of us knows anything worthwhile, but he thinks he knows something when he does not."(21d).[15] Socrates says that the poets did not understand their poetry; that the prophets and seers did not understand what they said; and that the craftsmen while knowing many things, thought they also had much knowledge on things of which they had none.

Appropriately, half the people reading this will be pantless on the toilet.

Interesting question. A quick google maps search shows over 12 listings in the capital of Mogadishu for pizza places that deliver. A more in-depth look seems to confirm that at least a few of them are real and not just AI hallucinations (i.e. they have social media presences with reviews in what appears to be Somali.)

But there don't seem to be as many outside the capital, so you're kinda right.

I'm pretty sure he was kidding about the elves. In the article he says:

"I work for three hours, and then I get stumped, and I'm not making progress. So I quit, and I go and work in the tunnel. It takes me an hour or so to dig four inches and put in the 4-by-4s. ... Then I go back up and work some more."

It's a common technique when dealing with a difficult research/creative problem.

• gain a good understanding of the problem (even if you're stuck on how to solve it)
• go do something unrelated work (preferrably physical, like gardening or housework or... working on your basement apparently.)

I think it gives your subconscious a chance to work on the problem without your conscious mind interfering.

here are some ways to find communities:

• !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl
• !newcommunities@discuss.online
• !newcommunities@lemmy.world
• !communities@ponder.cat
• !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
• !findacommunity@lemmy.ml
• !lemmy411@lemmy.ca

also:

Here you go. List formatting added:

• “Be like water making its way through cracks.
• Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it.
• If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
• Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water.
• If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash.
• Be water, my friend.”

I'll send an email if:

• I still want to work there after interviewing
• it's to a peer (i.e. someone I might see in the future at a conference or another job)
• I really did enjoy talking with them
• they're on the hiring committee (as far as I can tell)

Then I'll send an email like: "hi, it was great talking with you, I hope things go well and we end up working together." Then if we do run across each other professionally in the future, we're more likely to remember each other.

Here you go. I'd consider these beginner-friendly because they're not focused on tech or politics.

She was my perimeter, my DMZ, my only endpoint...

aw, be nice. OP might be a kid, might not have a lot of money for a vet, might not realize that cats can be in a fair amount of pain before showing it, etc.

The nice thing about using that Monty Python quote is that if I don't like the answer, I can then mime throwing myself into a chasm, and thus extricate myself from the situation.
