Trump is killing free speech.
  • Is the debate being simulcast on all the major networks? I seem to remember seeing the Trump/Harris debate on ABC, CBS and NBC (just with different talking heads before and after).

    If so, ABC should broadcast the debate with fact-checking overlays (Pop-up video style?) and advertise the shit out of the fact that they'll be doing this.

  • Proving that you're a Trekkie
  • Ackshully...

    The TOS Enterprise, as well as the A, D and E are usually referred to as "The Enterprise". B and C aren't on long enough for me to remember if it applied to them as well.

    However, the NX-01 was always referred to as "Enterprise", (without the "The"). It's like they were making a point of it, too. So I wouldn't count it with regards to this meme.

    So you then have to decide which ones you would count, such as the J, the one in ST:P, whatever came up on Discovery... Or whether you want to consider alternates as distinct.

  • Mon père médecin à la retraite aimerait démarrer un podcast sur la médecine. Quel concept pourrait intéresser ?
  • Je ne sais pas si vous avez les mêmes problèmes en France que nous avons au Québec, mais des suggestions pour aider à désengorger le système (surtout les salles d'urgence et les cliniques) par exemple en expliquant quand c'est mieux de voir un médecin vs. quand c'est mieux de rester chez soi, pourraient aider.

  • LLMs have a strong bias against use of African American English
  • I don't like the idea of restricting the model's corpus further. Rather, I think it would be good if it used a bigger corpus, but added the date of origin for each element as further context.

    Separately, I think it could be good to train another LLM to recognize biases in various content, and then use that to add further context for the main LLM when it ingests that content. I'm not sure how to avoid bias in that second LLM, though. Maybe complete lack of bias is an unattainable ideal that you can only approach without ever reaching it.

  • Applebee’s customer arrested and charged with disorderly conduct over an “All You Can Eat” deal
  • As long as you left some for the other patrons, and took your plate back to your table, I don't see much of a problem. But I've seen people just sit down in front of the buffet, right where the shrimp or lobster tails or whatever are, and just start eating right there.

    The other thing I've heard of was someone coming into the buffet at lunchtime, having lunch, and then just staying until dinner (without paying again)

    One (really really good) Chinese buffet I've gone to twice gives you a coupon for a single lobster. The rest is all you can eat, but they had to limit the lobster (probably because of the people who exaggerated)

  • How’s this deal folks?
  • Check your current provider. I updated my plan last year with Bell to get 50GB/month, but a few days ago, and I'll soon be getting 130GB, for almost the same price. I think I'll be paying $2 more/month, mainly because the new plan doesn't come with any bundling reductions like my last plan.

    But my point is, it looks like Canadian cell providers appear to be significantly increasing the limits in their data plans lately. And since the three majors tend to offer more or less the same plans...

  • ACAB
  • If this gets to court, I hope the defense asks for the specific objectionable passages to be read aloud, and then has a similarly gruesome passage from the Bible read aloud right after. Just keep going until the case is thrown out, or the Bible is also banned.

  • Then they get into an argument about what 'replicator' means.
  • So many guest stars on MacGyver also appeared on Star Trek... It helps that MacGyver was also a Paramount show.

    Also, watch the MacGyver pilot for a surprise appearance by the torpedo tube hatch through which Spock was shot out of.
