Reddit attracts a lot of trolls. Managing the reddit takes work (moderation, keeping up with stupid reddit drama).

With a project discord, you're filtering out people immediately -- typically only people who want to be there wind up there. It makes things easier for a lot of people this way.

Do you talk with them, or talk at them? Are you the only one giving feedback? What feedback do you get from the employee you've been failing to connect with?

You're exaggerating about light-bulbs. There is no way LEDs last less than incandescents. If you are experiencing this, its possible your wiring is bad. You should call an electrician and have them check that out.

Tachyons aren't a thing. Tachyons are sci-fi nonsense.

Nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light. This does not hold for the universe itself. It can and does expand faster than the speed of light, using specific reference frames (i.e., big enough).

So, space can increase FTL. Particles do not travel faster than light tho, that is nonsense.

This article mentions nothing about twins being affected asymmetrically by schizophrenia. Any model of the disease needs to account for that.

Also, this gem: "You also can’t point to any individual lung cancer patient and say “smoking caused this person’s lung cancer”."

Article loses all credibility at that point. Lol.

Let's Block It 3 years ago

Oh wow, I can block already watched videos on youtube, at long long last.

Thank you so much!

Hold the fob under and in contact with your chin and aim your face at your car. The beam gets focused in a specific direction when you're using your head to amplify the signal. This is how you get improved distance with your head. Your skull is not an isotropic resonant emitter. The signal ends up beam-shaped.

Did you read the linked article or abstract?

Participants' demographics, including education and familiarity with LLMs, did not predict detection rate, suggesting that even those who understand systems deeply and interact with them frequently may be susceptible to deception.

Good point, and the answer to that is possibly not. But, considering that it isn't ideal to publicize this sort of thing during market hours anyway, regardless of your public/private status, my takeaway is that OpenAI felt that they had to get in front of this news at all costs. I find that very interesting, and I wonder what the competing narrative would have been had they not done that.

I find it particularly scene breaking as well. Stephen King does this a great deal -- he seems inordinately fond of name-dropping electronics.

I don't think authors get paid to include name brands as adverts. I think what you and I are seeing is men of a certain age thinking things are "cool" and then using the name of a product or service to themselves appear "cool" or in-touch.

I personally always feel it has the exact opposite effect for the reason you already said: authors who do this do it so often that it becomes extremely noticeable and scene-breaking.

This has been my experience contributing to F/OSS, as well. Upstream maintainers loooooove stealing your code. They are exceptionally unpleasant to work with, overwhelmingly so.

"Sorry, I like my version better" is almost verbatim the same ripoff-kissoff I've gotten before in one specific circumstance in the past.

I believe that at first it was a game for him. Eventually he got tired of running, and this may have been a way of taunting his pursuers and forcing an end-game situation that he overestimated his chances against.

He was not prepared for four years of solitary and unconstitutional delaying of his trial. He did not ultimately have a game plan for what to do if his opponent cheated.

If the government had acted justly (that is, according to their own laws) he would have been found innocent and walked at his trial. However, the prosecutors lied, they cheated, corrupted the system they claimed to protect, and that was it. Game over, no redos.
