Unless you have something specific you want, I'd advise not to spend money just for the sake of it, even for perceived savings from deals. That's part of the trick with Black Friday deals - marking things down to get people to buy things they wouldn't even think to get in the first place.
That makes more sense... they historically (culturally?) value jewelry over money due to the economic fluctuations that have occurred over time. Oftentimes they rely on precious metals for savings as it holds value better.
Add to the fact that there's over a billion ppl it stands to reason they may have accumulated more gold than most countries.
But idk where fort Knox stands in comparison, so maybe USA has more gold even so.
I'm with you on the stoner thing. I have tendency to abuse substances, though thankfully haven't developed alcoholic tendencies (seeing my best friend become an alcohol was enough for me to seriously try not to abuse it in the first place).
The weed helps give me that change in sobriety that I really enjoy w/o nearly the same damage to my mental health and body. That said I've definitely abused it, so I had to still set some basic parameters on myself, cuz making weed my whole personality would have had a negative social impact even if my body was cool with it.
i hate how popular it's become to hate on AI amongst people who know little to nothing about it.
I completely agree, but the inverse is also true:
I hate how popular it's become to depend on AI amongst people who know little to nothing about it.
Honestly the article is actually dissing the people, not the technology. It's about a dude who has no other contributions to society just wanting to absorb in AI tech and rely on it for literally everything.
I'm an AI enthusiast, but I absolutely do not have the same perspective on it being used in that way. To me, they are picking on a subculture of incel/antisocial humans who want to use AI as a crutch, which doesn't really make any sense, which is why they're idiots.
That said I think you may be right about the strawman. I mean, I personally haven't met anyone obsessed with AI like the onion dude is described. Could be a made up persona, but with the way tech companies are going I don't think so.
I feel like this is inevitable with any new tech. Social media, cryptocurrency, instant messaging, the Internet itself. ML is the new kid that people want to use any way possible to make money, until they realize as you said it can only help in so many situations.
More often than not a nice sql query and some programming gets the job done.
I don't think it'll stay this way forever, just a lot of annoying hype atm, but I don't fault the technology itself for that.
I actually did an ML project at my job, much to my chagrin, to develop a chat app that lets us ask questions about our product.
It actually turned out really cool and was dead simple to implement. Now our employees (customer service team esp) can ask questions with a "trust but verify" approach to solve customer problems and surface information quickly. Saves a lot of time otherwise spent sifting thru documentation and support articles.
I'm not the OP but was also homeschooled similarly. For me it was being culture shocked by how many different nuanced perspectives are out there. Growing up I was provided more of a black and white view and very little social interaction to teach me otherwise - until college haha.
It actually was a nice revelation realizing not everyone is so prejudiced and bigoted about everything. However, the damage was done and I still had to work a lot to undo it and "catch up" to how to normally interact. Now I'm well adjusted so it's all kinda in the past for me, but I won't do that to my kids.
Prob one of the other difficult things for me is being taught homophobia and having to learn how shitty that is and the guilt that I still live with to this day because of beliefs I used to hold. That sucks.
According to him it was only banned because they were pro hamas, but the report titles it as pro Palestine. I don't know what the answer is but it makes a difference to me.
Maybe you understand but where does "risa" come from? I googled and it said it's a place from star Trek Discovery. Why was it picked for this community name?
Yeah it's probably the case. The alcohol sheds their filters and social reservations that other people don't have at all in the first place. At least I feel like that when I drink. I don't do parties without a few drinks for that reason.
Chimp empire on Netflix studies two chimp communities. One the females hunted and the other they didn't. They one that the females hunted in had fewer males and population overall, so it was done out of necessity.
It could be the same in this situation where women hunted but it wasn't necessarily the norm compared with men and depended on the situation. Not sure of course just pointing out the possibility.
