What browser are you using?

Firefox + uBlock Origin is still working for me right now.

Edit: hmm, could be a regional thing too. I'm in the US.

So funny story, even elected officials generally have recalls or other methods to reign them in when they are completely out of line.

This judge has been removed from the docket and will undergo training due to this incident. He wasn't removed from office, but he can't do any more damage until he goes through the training.

Yes, treating AI answers with the same skepticism as web search results is a decent way to make it useful. Unfortunately the popular AI systems seem to be using multiple times as much energy to give answers that aren't even as reliable as google used to be.

Back in the day google was using the same 'was this information useful' to return results before the SEO craze took off.

And yes, if the stains look like rust and there is a gap then there was a ferrous rock in the mix that rusted away. I have a spot on my sidewalk and a stone slab thing, and found out what caused it from someone who works with those materials!

Not eating the crust is eating less pizza!

Do you stop eating when you are full, or do you polish off everything on your plate every time? Do you throw out food that has spoiled and feel bad because you didn't eat it soon enough?

Based on your logic someone shouldn't ever eat pizza if they don't enjoy the entirety of every slice. Do you judge people who pick off toppings they don't like from a compromise pizza? What if they don't eat every side that comes with a meal in a restaurant?

What if they don't drink their entire glass of water? WHY ARE THEY WASTING WATER?

It sure is!

I'm just disagreeing with the idea that eating every part of prepared food is some kind of obligation.

This is absolutely in line with who buys into AI hype and why it is infuriating to try to convince them that they are reading way too much into how it seems to know things when all it is doing it returning results are statistically likely to be found as helpful to the audience it is designed for.

I have said that LLMs and other AI are designed to return what people want to see/hear. It doesn't know anything and will never be useful as a knowledge base or an independently functioning diagnostic tool.

It certainly has uses, but it certainly isn't going to solve all the things that are promoted by the AI hype train.

What is portion control anyway?

That is probably because Netanyahu's conditions are a temporary deley in the genocide, not an actual binding ceasefire and end of hostilities.

The clause that the user signs upon registering to Disney+ is a binding arbitration clause.

Disney is taking it waaaay further than anyone else by saying a free trial to D+ means any legal interaction with Disney goes to arbitration, not just for D+.

Arbitration clauses in EULAs are bullshit anyway, but if this isn't thrown out of court in a way that kills the concept of being able to sue for damages when every business adds this clause.

A real adult knows not to eat empty carbs.

It happens more often than you would think, due to social pressure.

Went right over their Oregon!

Giving it a try now, thanks!

I have enough experience with new devices starting in light mode as default to know that I can't ever go back.

There are a few websites that don't appear to have a dark mode that I still read sometimes, and for those the brightness has to be turned down to make it tolerable.

Nope.

Conservative as a label in politics vs conservative as in slow to change are as different as theory in science and how lay people use theory to mean speculation.

So obvious, not sure why I didn't see it before!

I think I don't get it.

Perhaps
