Oh man - health care is absolutely guilty of this. Residents and nurses go through hell to gain their professional credentials.
- Comment on When people say the AI bubble will burst, what exactly does that mean? 2 days ago:
Well yeah - but technically everything is just algebra.
If it happens on a computer, it can be expressed in s expressions.

Organizations often put new employees through shared trauma to force a feeling of comraderie and submission to management so I don’t see why gangs would be any different.

It’s extra frustrating for those of us working in companies where ML is actually a useful tool that we’ve been leveraging for years.

Hourly, set it up on auto-pay.
- Comment on Is it expected to tip for furniture deliveries? 4 days ago:
Because America is fundamentally broken and making life harder for a laborer isn’t going to change shit except their ability to feed themselves.
- Comment on Is it expected to tip for furniture deliveries? 4 days ago:
If you’re in the US it’s expected to tip everyone.
Please don’t forget to tip your landlord - inflation is hitting them hard right now.

Equally bad, you say?
Well, you’re clearly a very bad judge.
- Comment on Which language was spoken in ancient empire armies ? 1 week ago:
Armies don’t need complex phrases like “Last week did I see you go to the library?” And as such they’ve often used non-verbal communications in battle (especially because battle is fucking confusing) this has included drum signals, colored smoke, flags for different actions, and gestures.
When they are using verbal commands they’re often a greatly simplified set of phrases - sometimes in a jargon that isn’t even proper speech. It’s rare to see ten syllable commands and you’re much more likely to hear “company, right” than “Company of soldiers whom I command, please initiate a pinwheel rotation to the right around the rightmost file of your formation. Thank you kindly.” So if Europe had to form an army inter lingually than “a derech” and “a isker” would probably end up being right and left respectively… that or they’d follow the EU trend of “When in doubt, default to French”

Because Harris ran a pretty shitty campaign - unfortunately Harris ended up underperforming a lot of democratic candidates downballot. In Florida she even managed to underperform the abortion ammendment by 15%.
- Comment on Why do leftist blame the Democratic for sabotaging Bernie Sanders? 1 week ago:
Oh hey - I’m in no way supporting the outcome but with how heavy handed the DNC is in the primary process the GOP’s process was a lot more level of a playfield.
- Comment on Why do leftist blame the Democratic for sabotaging Bernie Sanders? 1 week ago:
Honestly, I’m so fucking jealous of how transparently GOP primaries are run (or were - I suspect Trump is going to try and start a dynasty now).
In 2016 someone who was the brother and son of previous presidents ran and lost the GOP primary. Can you imagine how hard the system will be rigged if it’s ever AoC vs. Chelsea Clinton?!
- Comment on Is there any, any takeaways at all from the next 4 years that's about to happen? 1 week ago:
Yea - we’ll see how resistant the world will be to America going off its rocker.
I suspect most things will go pretty well outside of countries with deep economic ties to America unless Trump goes full crazy and openly backs Russian expansionism.
- Comment on Can Trump pardon himself even though he did criminal stuff outside of office? 1 week ago:
When he controls the Supreme Court… yes. He can pardon anyone for anything.
Prepare to see everyone involved in the most blatant act of open tyranny since the Civil War pardoned as soon as he takes office.
- Comment on Is it okay to continue to work for a (non-defense) federal government agency under an administration hostile to my own moral and ethical beliefs? 1 week ago:
Also - government jobs often have to offer severance for non-performance related termination.
- Comment on Is it okay to continue to work for a (non-defense) federal government agency under an administration hostile to my own moral and ethical beliefs? 1 week ago:
Yes it is - you can continue to do good in the ways you can manage.
- Comment on what should one archive in a fascist regime? 1 week ago:
With the internet as it is it’s extremely unlikely we’ll see an information purge like nazi Germany. We might see censorship and destruction of art but information will survive internationally.

If you’re trans there’s a significant number of politicians who simply want you dead.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 week ago:
Liberals have more guns. I hate hearing this bullshit point echoed like it’s some grand revelation.
- Comment on How do Americans win their country back? 1 week ago:
We engage in democracy.
Harris was a terrible candidate who was forced into the race. I was hoping she could pull it off but it’s pretty clear that what we needed was for Biden to step down before the primary so that we could have a real election.

In those other areas there are plenty of other English titles you can use. “Instructor” is always fun!

- Comment on Why do "realistic" AI results for man/woman have non-proportion big heads compared to their bodies? 3 weeks ago:
I was the base model for all AI image generation and my ego is fucking huge.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m uncertain, but it’s certainly quite possible these folks were trolling. My main point was that it’s not as much about what the folks in sheets intended as much as it’s about how they’re perceived. Elections are pretty important and people are pretty sensitive right now so even if these folks did it for the lulz they may have actually intimidated and suppressed some votes.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, or something like “My body my choice” there are lots of pins or patches you could draw inference (sometimes incorrectly, of course) from.
