  Pretty sure they found out ulcers are due to a bacteria that can now be treated and not due to spicy or acidic foods.

  This is better than the original movie and I have said so for years. I will fight on this hill.

  This was my first thought. Just zero code review going on? Some random server only that dude knew about? tf kind of controls these people have in place?

  Oh right, none of the shit the company should have had.

  Instead of jail time, the government should consider giving this guy whistleblower status and investigating the corp for negligence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people downvoting the MediaBiasFactChecker not?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Comment sections are for comments.

  This is the fediverse. I feel like these kinds of bots should be emitting something other than a comment, just a generic "metadata" might be good. Then work to get that adopted by the various platforms.

  Because comment sections should be a place for people.

  Just to be clear, you are the one advocating for tolerating those promoting intolerance in this situation.

  You have laid it out very clearly here.

  That is why you are subject to the paradox. Nothing to do with complicated situations or anything. You are saying people who push an ideology of inequality and intolerance.deserve a voice. I do not agree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Can a City Do When Neo-Nazis Start Marching Down Its Streets?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You need to be cautious of the paradox of tolerance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Can a City Do When Neo-Nazis Start Marching Down Its Streets?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Newsflash: some number of people are absolute shitbags.

  If you let them take over and run the show it's gonna get real bad.

  Nazis are absolute shitbags. They will always be around in some number. You need to always suppress them so they don't fuck up the good shit we have managed to eek out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨answer = sum(n) / len(n)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you're not aware of the AI making up a case name from whole cloth that I am talkimg about? Because that's not misremembering, it's exactly what you would expect unintelligent statistical prediction to come up with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨answer = sum(n) / len(n)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  ☝️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨answer = sum(n) / len(n)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You know what we do in engineering when we need to understand a system a lot of the time? We instrument it.

  Please explain why this can't be instrumented. Please explain why the trace data could not be analtzed offline at different timescales as a way to start understanding what is happening in the models.

  I'm fucking embarassed for CS lately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨answer = sum(n) / len(n)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but the critical question is: is human intelligence statistics?

  Seems no, to me: a human lawyer wouldn't, for instance, make up case law that doesn't exist. AI has done that one already. If it had even the most basic understanding of what the law is and does, it would have known not to do that.

  This shit is just megahal on a gpu.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kate Mulgrew told Rick Berman she wanted a gay character on the Voyager bridge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As a cishet white male who dislikes Voyager, I would absolutely have enjoyed a clueless straight Tom Paris trying to set gay Harry up.

  Instead he turned into a fish and kidnapped Janeway to, and I will be very gracious to the writing staff here, have consensual offspring with her.

  Why did I tell myself I needed to watch that show? Worst trek. 😢

  It's been a long way...

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek Is Showing More Love To Scott Bakula’s Enterprise⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who watched it with no nostalgia glasses: it is not good trek.

  I can't think of a really outstanding episode off the top of my head (maybe the Tuvix one? But even that is just ... rough?). And there are some episodes in there that I actively dislike in a way I don't with most of the other series.

  I like Kate Mulgrew, she was a strong actor for the role and the theme is a banger, otherwise .. meh.
