  • Senate passes bill aimed at making US housing more accessible and affordable

    Jump

  • It's a summary of what? Which bill is it talking about? Why doesn't it make even the bare minimum of effort to help readers look it up?

    If their goal is to inform, they should fucking inform! Link to the goddamn bill!

  • Montana halts permitting on all weekend rallies at Capitol, thwarts upcoming ‘No Kings’ event

    Jump

  • Frankly, I think the very first time any government started to demand a "permit" or designate a "free speech zone," it should've triggered massive protests that were pointedly unpermitted and outside the zone.

    Your job should not exist, as a matter of principle.

  • Being overweight is in an entirely different category than the other attributes you mentioned because it's a choice, and more importantly because physical fitness is directly relevant to a soldier or sailor's ability to perform their duty. In fact, the show itself addresses this: there are scenes that show Tilly jogging around the ship so that she can get a "physical endurance commendation" and be more likely to get into the Command Training Program.

    If she were a civilian character, sure: no judgement, no problem. But having an overweight military officer (especially if they hadn't acknowledged and addressed it the way they did) would be problematic in a legitimate, non-judgemental, suspension-of-disbelief-defying way.

    (That said, I don't think Tilly was anywhere near big enough for fan complaints to actually be legitimate. I'm just saying that, in principle, that category of complaint could be legitimate for that type of character, in contrast to complaints about race/sex/hair that are never valid.)

  • Microsoft's AI wants to be your medical middleman, but is a "Secure by Design" promise really enough for Copilot?

    Jump

  • It's mainly that I just don't bother marking things read, so that's like two and a half years of replies.

  • Maybe stop looking for a doctor and start looking for a tattoo/piercing person.

  • I regretted not cropping that as soon as I posted it because I knew someone would comment on it, but I couldn't figure out how to crop after-the-fact on my phone and re-upload. The screenshot utility can do it, but the image viewer can't.

  • Study: AI autocomplete suggestions can nudge people's opinions - and they don't notice

    Jump

  • There's more you can do than that! It's not as if we live in some sort of laissez-faire hellhole where corporations can do whatever they want; we could lobby the government to regulate it.

    (I'm invoking Poe's Law so hard even I don't know if I'm sincere!)

  • AI hype is ‘grifting’ the SaaS industry | Ed Zitron

    Jump

  • The SaaS industry was already a gift. It's grifts all the way down.

  • AI error jails innocent grandmother for months in North Dakota fraud case

    Jump

  • Ah, I see how we differ now. I think the key isn't just that they're stupid, but more importantly that they're incurious, mean-spirited, cowardly, and duped by propaganda. And that the leadership is malicious and corrupt, not merely incompetent. As such, I think just about every other dystopia is a better fit than Idiocracy is. 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Star Wars: Andor -- take your pick!

  • Man in Michigan synagogue attack lost family members in Israeli airstrike in Lebanon, official says

    Jump

  • I was just expanding on the point that this guy has plenty of reason to strike back, and is almost certainly going to.

    Sure, there's every reason for him to want to strike back.

    However, I disagree that that means he's likely to do it. It's kinda like Zelensky: he'd be entirely justified in telling both Putin and Trump to go fuck themselves, but he won't do the latter because the US' half-assed support is still better than Trump fully switching sides.

    I expect Iran's leader to suck it up and do what's best for Iran in a realpolitik sense, not engage in suicidal total war just because Trump's America deserves it.

  • I'll try something different next install, I swear.

  • It's a shame about the licensing issues Qt had back in the day, because otherwise there was no reason GTK (and therefore GNOME) ever needed to exist.

    Jump

  • I'm not sure my point got across. I wasn't trying to blame anybody; I was just trying to make a distinction between a logical argument and an emotional one.

  • AI error jails innocent grandmother for months in North Dakota fraud case

    Jump

  • I suddenly realize you may have thought I was criticizing you, individually. Just so you know, that's not what I intended: I meant it as a general reaction to seeing that comparison made over and over again, and your instance of it just happened to be the one I attached it to.

    Sorry about that.

  • [QUESTION] - Indian Cuisine Butter Chicken

    Jump

  • The idea that you can't brown it but can deglaze with it makes me think your yogurt is way more watery than any I'm familiar with.

    When my family makes butter chicken, we use yogurt that would stick to a spoon turned upside down, let alone coat the back of one. It dries out and browns just fine.

    (Disclaimer: I'm a white American who knows next to nothing about Indian food, so I could be using a very Americanized recipe or otherwise doing it wrong.)

  • And also, at least in the case of reading an article you understand that it's a human with a point of view, rather than a tool that's assumed to be neutral.

  • Study: AI autocomplete suggestions can nudge people's opinions - and they don't notice

  • I don't know if being blasé about an AI influencing everybody else's opinion (including, for example, their politics) is just shortsighted, or downright stupid.
