Yet another refugee who washed up on the shore after the great Reddit disaster of 2023

  • Loathsome, misogynistic convicted felon? Yeah, about right, though at 72 he's a bit young.

  • I don't believe Swift buys her own groceries, or that anyone on her staff takes a jet to the grocery store. That's just dumb.

    I think it's ridiculous that we have a system where someone can make billions singing songs while people providing essential functions have troubles making ends meet, but I haven't heard any credible evidence that Swift exploits her staff.

  • So if a group of guys came to your neighbors house and told the family that they're going to move into it with them, you wouldn't be for removing them, even if that meant a fight? It would be better to just let them move in because that way no one gets hurt?

    And if they successfully move into your neighbor's house, they might have eyes on your house next.

    Russia is trying to take over Ukraine, a sovereign country, by force, and other countries are trying to help Ukraine fight Russia. Yes, people on both sides are dying. Ukrainians apparently overwhelmingly believe it's worth the fight.

  • Not sure I've heard Swift described as "scummy" before.

    And if you're so against billionaires and politicians, why are you for the billionaire politician from the party who wants to cut taxes for billionaires, and not the candidate from a working class background who wants to increase taxes for billionaires?

  • It's really infuriating. Every time he's asked a question, and she gets a rebuttal, he just starts rebutting her rebuttal and they just let him. And half the time what he's says has nothing to do with the question that was asked. They cut Kamala off pretty much every time.

  • The zero C is freezing and 100 C is boiling, so not really arbitrary.

    But it's pretty hard to define a scale that has intuitive, round numbers for everything we might care about.

  • “Watch for the voter fraud because we win without voter fraud,” Trump said. “We win so easily. Hopefully, we’re going to win anyway. But we want to keep it down."

    Yeah, this is just him doing more to set up January 6 Part 2.

  • It's kind of amazing how upfront they are about it

  • The Republican response is literally that they're going to defund the IRS. If there weren't 100 other things demonstrating that the Republican party serves the ultra rich, and not the people, it would be astonishing.

  • Yeah, I'm far from anti-AI, but we're just not anywhere close to where people think we are with it. And I'm pretty sick of corporate leadership saying "We need to make more use of AI" without knowing the difference between an LLM and a machine learning application, or having any idea *how" their company could make use of one of the technologies.

    It really feels like one of those hammer in search of a nail things.

  • What people mean by AI has been changing for as long as the term has been used. When I was studying CS in the 80s, people said the holy grail was giving a computer printed English text and having it read it aloud. It wasn't much later that OCR and text to speech software was commonplace.

    Generally, when people say AI, they mean a computer doing something that normally takes a human, and that bar goes up all the time.

  • That's bullshit. Democrats all over the place are saying this is likely to be a close election and people really need to get out and vote to beat Trump.

    The only sense it's true that Democrats are taking about it being rigged are that actual, known attempts to rig it, like the fake electors scheme and the storming of the capital, along with the grotesque gerrymandering, all of which is verifiable.

  • LLMs don't "understand" anything, and it's unfortunate that we've taken to using language related to human thinking to talk about software. It's all data processing and models.

  • Only if you make it clear that the guy is at the very least a Nazi sympathizer. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who would assume you were being pro Musk and pro Carlson if you just posted the image without explanation.

    Plus you're just giving the site activity. Deleting your account would be a much better statement.

  • I really agree. They said that Trump's people want the mics off because it will keep him from looking as bad and Harris' want them on for the same reason, but I'd actually like to hear what they say, so mics off seems better.

  • I'm a little bit of a technophile, but I have very little patience for technology that doesn't buy me anything that I care about. So I don't want my washing machine connected to the Internet, but that bird's eye view makes me giddy happy.

  • It kicks on when you're parking, so you can see your car in a top-down view with all the lines and obstacles. When I drive our other car that doesn't have it, it's the thing I miss the most.

  • Some is great and much appreciated. For instance I love the things that takes the camera feeds and creates a simulated top down view. But some things are just useless and needless.

  • My take is he just didn't want to answer anymore questions. Probably not planned in advance, he was just making an excuse to get out of there.
