I've never understood why people are confused by this. Take something like glasses: my eyes work without them. I can sort of mostly see the computer screen. But I'll last like, I dunno, a half hour and then I'll have a headache which will last for days. With glasses I can work all day no problem.

Pretty much all of the actually defensible uses for machine learning are analytical rather than generative, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that people keep bringing up stuff that has nothing to do with LLMs to justify their ChatGPT addiction.

I got called a fat cuck by someone on Facebook. First, what is this, 2010? Second, upon looking at her feed, it is wall to fucking wall Second Sons stuff. Yeah, I'm good, call me all the names you want.

Kevin Goudreau has been on one hell of a crashout this week. Let's have a look shall we

How does one resolve "omg he's a socialist!!" and "he's going to usher in sharia law!!" in one's head?

El-Sayed won. I’m urging Black Detroiters to STAY HOME and be “uncommitted’ like El-Sayed was for Kamala Harris during the general election. Dearborn voted for TRUMP instead of the Black Lady. I’m encouraging Black Detroit to vote for Jill Stein or Trump , like the Arabs in Dearborn did in 24!

"With mainstream money comes the mainstream language...Her whiteness sells. Her whiteness and straightness in a time of nationwide anti-blackness and homophobia sell even more. Cunningham doesn’t fight it. She bathes in it." -- Howard Bryant www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/a...

Sophie Cunningham isn’t rejecting politics. She’s cashing in on them

Absolutely superb bilingual pun game here. I doff my beret to the subeditor who came up with this!

C’est vraiment ça. Partout on demande du courage politique mais on vote pour des gens qui font fuck all. C’est tellement prévisible pour EM de prendre zéro risque, serrer la ceinture et mettre toute sur hold jusqu’à l’an 3 et ensuite des cadeaux inutiles pour tous.

I think on the whole it’s totally fine in principle to urge people to be cautious in how they talk about AIPAC et al but some people really do need to get it thru to themselves that it is actually exceptional for one organization to spend >30M on a single primary like it’s nothing.

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.

I don't pay attention to CF Montreal (who will forever be the impact for me) but there was some "incident" with an Israeli player from another team. And if you read the comments, it's antisemitic and this and that and, look, chanting "death to Israel" and "free Palestine" is probably not the..

I know this is controversial in our modern times, but I think even people with pre-existing health conditions should not shit themselves to death because they ate a bagged salad.

why are my taxes going toward subsidizing the police when i might never even need to be beaten up and violated

When I go to the gym for a one hour class I take one t-shirt. Two one hour classes? Two t-shirts. When we did three in a row? You guessed it, three t-shirts. I am absolutely set on not being the stinky older guy. Some of my fellow gym goers seem to be on the “wash it once a week whether it…
