Using Latin for Latin based languages has the benefit that the words feel appropriate for their effects somehow, since most people don't know Latin but would be familiar with words that have similar roots.

Translating them into alternative historical languages gives the same effect for other cultures.

To be fair, its been like that since November

Allegedly

Reminds me of

Torpenhow Hill is a hill in Cumbria, England. Its name consists of the Old English ‘Tor’, the Welsh ‘Pen’, and the Danish ‘How’ - all of which translate to modern English as ‘Hill’. Therefore, Torpenhow Hill would translate as hill-hill-hill hill

Andor

Elon Musk actively hinders his companies from succeeding. People need to stop glorifying his involvement in companies he paid to have his name on.

'Refuse' makes it seem like a choice. 'Are unacceptable to the ideology' is fairer imo.

Veritasium has had a couple of videos that are basically this recently:

How One Company Secretly Poisoned the Planet (54:08)

Exposing Why Farmers Can't Legally Replant Their Own Seeds (46:59)

This is the Natural Disaster to worry about (41:07)

Would be interested if there are channels dedicated to this kind of thing though

Its an abstraction for neural networks. Different individual networks might vary in number of layers (columns), nodes (circles), or loss function (lines), but the concept is consistent across all.

Absolute ragebait masquerading as news

The Metropolitan Police deny that his arrest was prompted by the Star of David, and said the man was arrested for allegedly “repeatedly breaching” an order to keep opposing protest groups apart.

The quotes in the title should at the very least surround the entire statement 'his star of David antagonised protesters' if they want to pretend. The way it stands is deliberately misleading.

This is 100% the answer, the only solution to the model decay from LLM outputs overwhelming the web is to start collecting data IRL.

This is also why companies like OpenAI are desperately investing in 'AI wearables' that no-one wants. They have to get the unpolluted data from somewhere, and recording real conversations will at least mostly have come from actual humans instead of AI.

As you've repeatedly pointed out I'm making generalisations for the sake of brevity. If you think I'm talking about you that's a you problem.

Point out for me where I've used the word 'all'. If it comforts you, feel free to read my original comment and all other comments that trigger this defensive response in you as:

(There are) men in this country (who)...

Rather than

(All) men in this country ...

Since I would read the comment I replied to the same way.

Thinking women deserve bodily autonomy is not a high standard my friend, do better and stop playing a victim.

If that pushes you away from me then good, please stay far away.

Also congrats on identifying that jokes can be ironic.

People's bodily autonomy being taken away is what we are talking about, regarding the original thread and the removal of abortion rights.

Many men in my life and around the world demonstrate the point that they only care once they have a daughter, including the comment I responded to. Directly contextualising it around his daughter but not his wife, or his mother or his sister? I also take great issue with placing the onus on women to 'wake up', when they are generally much more cognisant of the issues that affect them, and it is the responsibility of men to also take a moral stance, and not continue to ignore damaging policies that do not directly impact them, or worse, support them due to rising misogyny.

Personally I think 'souring the conversation' would be to complain about an obvious joke mirroring the language of the comment I replied to, to make some sort of 'not all men' plea, in a thread about a prominent politician with a wide base of support from young men moving towards an anti-abortion position.

Thanks for your input, wouldn't want feelings to get hurt when people's bodily autonomy could be taken away

Men in this country need to wake up and start caring about women's rights without needing to have a daughter to realise women are people too...

Yes, you can change icons, but only to those provided in icon packs, not to any arbitrary image.

I'm also a convert to Niagara. It's a radically different take from the standard iphone-esque app grid, but once you get used to it it's really efficient.

I found it also made me much more aware of how many apps I had installed that I was never using, which I've now mostly uninstalled for a much cleaner list of apps I actually use.

I'm a software engineer and I'll discuss it with you, rather than just down voting and walking away.

Your use case for AI allows it to excel. Writing self contained scripts and small pieces of functionality for automation is a great use case for AI, but it isn't what software engineers do. There is a saying that you won't have a design problem in a code base under 10,000 lines, then all you have is design problems, and this is what AI is bad at. It can't maintain or update or extend much larger code bases, and it can't interpret user vagueries into concrete requirements and features.

For me it is useful for prototyping, and for boilerplate code where I know exactly what I want but its faster to prompt it than to type it all out. I wouldn't use it for anything critical without carefully reviewing every line it generates, which would take longer than just writing the damn code.

I also have a big problem with the reliance a lot of people are building on AI. Remember how every other service you've used goes through 'enshitification'? This will happen to AI. Once they need to be profitable and the shareholders need to get paid, the features will get worse and the prices will go up, and you will have to pay those prices if you can't work without it. Just something to bear in mind.

Use it if it's useful. Don't become reliant on it. You seem interested in coding, why not try coding something simple yourself? Try looking up the documention to see if you can use your wet brain first, and only go to the AI after. You might find you actually enjoy it, or solve problems faster because you remember how you solved them before.

For me its Metroid, and really the whole Metroidvania genre. I can never tell when a challenge is supposed to be possible, or if I'm supposed to come back later, and and up wasting hours trying to do something only for it to be trivial later. I don't find this at all rewarding.

That said Tunic was a fantastic game, and I love the concept of the 'Metroid-Brainia', purely because of the concept that every challenge is theoretically possible from the start, you just need to learn how to do it.
