  • 'Students Are Being Treated Like Guinea Pigs:' Inside an AI-Powered Private School

    Jump

  • My guinea pigs get to be lazy, get fresh veggies every day, and a cookie every night. When their pens are cleaned, my wife hides apple pieces or blueberries or carrots in their pen and they have a treasure hunt.

    There are worse ways to be treated.

  • What unusual/uncommon item(s) do you always keep around for a perfectly logical reasons?

    Jump

  • I have an old coffee mug in a cabinet with the radiator bleed-screw tool attached to it with a short, beaded chain.

    I'm not a plumber, I just have an old house.

  • We have a standard poodle. He's being trained as a service dog, but he's not there yet.

    He's getting better, but when he first arrived, he would bark like a maniac anytime someone new entered the house.

    We had a painter come in to do some work in our bathroom. He got upset when he heard Leo start barking because he had a traumatic experience with a dog.

    Then he saw Leo was a poodle and he was suddenly ok.

    I know Leo is all talk, but he's still a dog. Under all that fluff, he's basically a Doberman Pinscher.

  • She suffers from severe depression and ADHD, but I don't think she has bipolar disorder. Her sister died due to bipolar disorder, which might be what you're thinking of.

    She is, apparently, still on Reddit occasionally. I saw a post from a few days ago in which someone was saying that she's working on a new book (no idea if that is true or not).

  • Should paternity tests be done right after a baby is born so the supposed father can be sure he’s the biological dad before any legal recognition?

  • I can't imagine how pathetic someone would have to be to associate with such a group.

  • Epstein files suggest acts that may amount to crimes against humanity, say UN experts

  • Unfortunately, Humanity lacks an enforcement mechanism.

  • Song of the South. Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer Bear, etc.

    A Disney movie that Disney doesn't want anyone to remember because of the inherent racism. Using stories that originated during slavery, but setting the movie after the war to try to take the curse off.

    It's damn near impossible to get in the U.S., but easy to access via the high seas, and Disney uncharacteristically won't go after you for it, because they don't want to draw attention to it.

    It incorporated some innovative techniques for blending live action with animation and has some value in terms of history of cinema. I don't think it should disappear completely, but I do think it's important to view it critically.

    Personally, I found that apart from the racism, a lot of the writing and acting in the live action sequences was so absolutely terrible it was painful to watch.

  • Of course.

    You can tune a piano, but you can't tune a fish.

  • Folks choose to forgo support to use Linux where I work.

    I don't know how many of them are actually competent to support themselves. I only hear from the ones who are both incompetent and also manage to find out that I am (was?) a Linux admin.

    Years ago my boss told me a researcher was using Linux and had a couple questions for me. That email thread could have been edited and turned into a Linux Administration for Dummies book. It was months and months. Every answered question led to three or four more questions.

    That boss retired, and the new boss is a 100% Microsoft guy, so at least I won't have to support clueless Linux users anymore.

    From time to time I hear about someone getting a Linux server set up. When I ask, they say the vendor is managing updates on the server. When I check I find that the server hasn't had any updates or reboots since it was installed.

  • What was your social media path?

    • CompuServe Chat
    • Dialup Bulletin Board
    • USENET

    • Reddit

    Facebook was a horrible mistake. I jumped off when I realized I didn't want to associate with the people there.

    Jumped off Reddit when my app was blocked.

    Edit: mid-50's English speaker (well, American English, if that still counts), also remembered that there was a dialup bulletin board back in the day.

  • I had a very simple script. All it does is trigger an action on a monthly schedule.

    I passed the script to Copilot to review.

    It caught some typos. It also said the logic of the script was flawed and it wouldn't work as intended.

    I didn't need it to check the logic of the script. I knew the logic was sound because it was a port of a script I was already using. I asked because I was curious about what it would say.

    After restating the prompt several times, I was able to get it to confirm that the logic was not flawed, but the process did not inspire any confidence in Copilot's abilities.

  • I gave blood a couple times in an area outside my own. They harassed me for years after that. I kept explaining that I wasn't in their area and it wouldn't be possible.

    I do have that sweet O type (positive not negative, but still).
