There is a positive correlation between how often I post and how poorly my life is going.

  • This is great because I suck at push-ups. I hadn't considered there was a whole variety of them to try.

  • I agree with the sentiment of making sure our leaders work for Canada but this is such vague language that could be taken to mean anything. It reads hollow, toothless, and a little bit concerning.

    What constitutes foreign interference? What would be done if a candidate was under foreign influence? I'd like a more comprehensive description of "national loyalty," because that's a term that could be used against qualified candidates.

  • Wait, you don't imagine elaborate narratives where, say, Adrien Brody's car breaks down in a stretch in the wilderness with nothing but your cabin for miles. So he walks toward the only structure and I'm there studying mosses and it's so remote I have a sat phone I let him use to call for help, but it'll be a while so I make him some tea and we get to talking. Night falls before help comes so I light a fire in the pit and let him borrow a sweater I stole from an ex and pull out a bottle of whiskey I was saving for something special but it's special enough. It keeps us chatting untill the early hours when a tow truck finally shows and I see him off. When I get home from my studies I find a package waiting for me—it's the sweater he borrowed, a thank you card, and a bottle of fine whiskey?

    (I'm uncomfortable sexually fantasizing about real people.)

  • Are there any initiatives aimed at training generative AI using 100% public domain works and works authorized by the creator?

    Jump

  • That's my point. We don't allocate energy resources based on importance, and when this argument is brought up there's no scale for comparison when someone says AI, specifically, is destroying the planet.

  • Superhero content fans, what kind of media do you want to see in the future?

  • More scarecrow. He's always in the background, doing his strange little fear experiments. I'd like to see something like the Year One comic, going into his unhinged actions as a professor, his weird shit with grandma, and Batman tracking him down like a serial killer.

  • Do we know how energy usage of AI compares to other daily tasks?

    Like: rendering a minute of a fully animated film, flying from L.A. to New York, watching a whole series on Netflix, scrolling this site for an hour, or manufacturing a bottle of tylenol?

    How does asking AI "2+2" compare to generating a three second animation in 1080p? There has to be a wide gamut of energy use per task.

    And then the impact would depend on where your energy comes from. Which is a whole other thing, we should be demanding cleaner, more efficient energy sources.

    A quick search on energy consumption by AI brings up a list of articles repeating the mantra that it's substantial, but sources are vague or non-existent. None provide details to be able to confidently answer any of the above questions.

    That's not to say AI doesn't consume significant power, it's saying most people don't regulate their lives by energy consumption.

  • You know what? I was so out of brain this morning I stared at that for a whole minute wondering if it was right. I write for work every goddamn day and I was like "WTF... how did I forget this. I use these words EVERY DAY." I knew until I thought about it.

    I almost looked it up but then was like... no, 50/50 shot and everyone will know what I mean. No one will point it out.

  • New Guidelines Call on Doctors to Take IUD Insertion Pain Seriously

    Jump

  • I've read plenty of specific papers on the subject of menstrual cycles and effects of hormones and, in short, well, you're kinda full of shit. I don't think you know what a menstrual cycle or hormones actually are, and I don't think you've read tons and tons of studies on how hormones affect our bodies. Because you're just kind of explaining being a person. Those are the things that hormones affect for everyone, every day. And women do not have more of them than men.

  • I wish they had those same ethics with my first birth control when I was hospitalized with severe depression. I wasn't even told it was a side effect. Ten years later there was a class action lawsuit and it was discontinued.

  • Considering men default humans and women an "other," is the exact bias that has held back medical care for half the fucking population.

    Everyone's hormones are always in flux, every day. Eating food can drastically affect your hormones. Aerobic excercise can affect your hormones. Men have hormonal cycles as well.

    What you wrote here about costs associated with medical research on women seems paraphrased from some out-of-date medical journal. Unless menstrual cycles are being studied, you do not "have to do all kinds of correction and analyses" to make sure they're not affecting that study. I have no idea where you heard that, and would go as far as to say you just made it up. I don't even know where to begin with the pregnancy test thing, unless you're thinking of only medical trials, specifically.

  • It was one of the worst pains I've ever experienced and they gave me mother fucking tylenol.

    I got the IUD after twelve years of trying to convince doctors my cramps were unusually bad, and being prescribed mother fucking tylenol, for what I later learned were "muscle spasms similar to labor," every. single. month.

    The IUD helped! If you have the same, ask about a Mirena and bring a flask of something strong. Like opium.
