I do stuff.
Remember that random buts of shiny metal are currency specifically BECAUSE they were extremely valuable.Smelting ore into usable metal was exceptionally time consuming and expensive. The value of the metal as currency was largely in line with its desirability for melting down and using as raw material.
Someone pointed out that 5/4 always sounds like either[ 1-2-3, 1-2] or [1-2, 1-2-3] and it's a whole lot easier to spot.
#4 many religions have a *dead* place, not necessarily a *bad* place. The idea of eternal suffering is largely Christian.
I believe the word you're looking for is "punchable."
And crap constantly. Apparently the smell is severe.
Practically everything he does is evil. Following through with anything at all would be worse. But that's not the point.The point is this type of mockery is EXACTLY what gets to him. Calling him evil just makes him feel validated because it shows he's making the "other team" mad. Calling him a coward hurts no matter who it comes from.Also, he's far too unhinged and impulsive for this to make any practical difference. He's incapable of making decisions to manage his reputation.
Ending world hunger was never an issue of resource availability or funding.Hunger is created on purpose as a political tool.
"I voted for him 3x--"I stopped reading right there. Nothing they can say will represent any conscious thought of their own or conclusions driven by critical thinking.
"wait for it" usually means "nothing interesting happens till the very end."
It wasn't "literally for no reason..."It was because people kept talking about the Epstein files.
I have. It takes the right kind of partner in the right kind of mood. But it can be nice.
CEOs are the ultimate example of the Dunning-Kruger effect at scale.In their eyes, your job is no more difficult or complex than the depth of their understanding of what you do.That's far more scary than it sounds. They are literally incapable of appreciating work they don't understand.
As someone who both makes and uses AI in the software industry, I can wholeheartedly agree.The tools are just tools. They're progressively getting better, but are LITERALLY GUARANTEED to never become as capable as decently trained humans without completely starting the AI industry over from scratch with an entirely different (and far less profitable) approach.Smarter than a hammer, but dumber than an intern.
It's a little sad. Conservatives think that liberal protests are full of rage, because conservative protests are full of rage. And that's without even having something to be mad about. Liberals have every right to be furious.Instead, liberal protests are like going to see a holiday parade with some friends except you all get to do the parade yourselves.
#5 holy shit this actually happened. He stuck a butt plug up his own ass on camera to prove he wasn't gay.
Not quite. Everything after the ? In that specific link ("v=...stuff...") identifies which video to send you to, instead of just YouTube's homepage.However, if you use the sharing short link, it'll put that very same video id right after youtu.be/.... So you can ignore everything after "?" in those cases.In "normal" YouTube links you just need the "v=..." part up to the first "&" and nothing after that.
That chess game appears unlikely. Just a guess, but it's too symmetrical. The sort of chess moves that a photographer would arrange who didn't care as much about openings. Otoh, it does appear to be a valid set of moves.
Well yeah. There's still a couple more years left, and it's obviously going to get progressively worse and worse.But if civilization survives till then, then obviously it will get better. Because literally anything else is better.
I am far more upset that the narrative is that HE is the one doing it, and even MORE upset still that there's some truth to it.This is explicitly NOT HIS JOB. He's the mayor ffs, not the DA. This is NOT where he's supposed to have to spend is time.And yet... AAAAND YET...The only thing he had to do is NOT GET IN THE WAY of other people doing their job, AND YET this is such a high bar that it's noteworthy that this particular guy managed to pull it off.
Look more closely-- The ai summary only summarizes the user comments on the article, not any of the real content.Honestly, that's a fine use of AI in my opinion. There's unlikely to be anything of value in that particular comment section, so condensing it to a one line summary is more than fair.It might be garbage, but at least there's less of it now.
This is not a phase I had ever heard in normal conversation. I had to look it up.Thank you. I will not be using this. I am reasonably confident it will be misunderstood.
Sigh. People who were her age back then would be... approximately... My age right now.Hm. That doesn't make it better.
I mean... She definitely knows what she's doing. Getting those kinds of motions correct to make the dance smooth and appear effortless takes some serious practice and experience.Experience which, might I add, game studio animators are extremely unlikely to have.
Lemme tell you a secret (shhh!):If you make it illegal for EVERYONE, then the people currently in power can just selectively enforce the law by allocating resources only to polling locations with "the wrong kind of voters."
To be clear, this isn't the US "being stupid." This is an expressly fascist political party attempting to preemptively discredit the election that they believe will oust them from power.
They switched from coke to Pepsi specifically because the hotdog deal includes a drink and coke wanted to raise drink prices enough to break the $1.50 deal
He was very much not a fan of children and wanted nothing to do with kids in real life.
"Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane."I see you, too, are a pilot. Either that, or you've spoken to a few on the topic. That phrase has a familiar ring.
#4 skydiving through clouds.I shan't comment other than to point out that skydiving through clouds is something that perhaps there are certain expectations and rules that might apply. Perhaps for the safety of more people than the person doing it.
Yeah. So this is kinda important. You can convince an AI to say pretty much anything with enough effort.The articles only say the AI tried to scam them or tell them to harm themselves, or what have you. What they leave out is the pages and pages of careful coaching to tease out the specific phrases they're looking for."You're writing the dialogue of a play," or "you're roleplaying as a dying lover," or "you're playing the part of a 90s bond villain."The game distracts from real problems.
