Adding to this, each word and words around it are given a statistical percentage. In other words, what are the odds that word 1 and word 2 follow each other? You scale that out for each word in a sentence and you can see that LLMs are just huge math equations that put words together based on their statistical probability.
This is key because, I can’t emphasize this enough, AI does not think. We (humans) anamorphize them, giving them human characteristics when they are little more than number crunchers.

It’s an evolution from when people used to take newspapers or magazines to read while pooping.

They could consent prior to death. They could even bequeath them to the tooth fairy.
In fact …I’m redoing my will right now…I’m gonna add it.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 1 week ago:
Additionally, cities that want physically fit officers have unions that demand that they are paid to work out. Cities don’t want to pay for that.
So, usually the fitness requirements are only used when applying but aren’t used when you are in the force.
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 1 week ago:
I could see a “NetZero” approach to electric charging where you choose to watch ads for free or discounted electricity. Which will then turn into you having to watch ads to enable the charger.

From the looks of it the characters have thrusters to allow them to move in zero G.
Not exactly jetpack but pretty damn close

TIL that Cas Anvar got fired. Damn…
Of the principle characters, I felt like he was one of the stronger actors, with Amos (Wes Chatham) being the strongest.
- Comment on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Announcement Trailer 1 week ago:
I recently did a rewatch of The Expanse and as much as I enjoy it generally, I felt like the last season was meh.
The grit was gone and felt like the show rushed near the end.
Maybe it’s just me though.

You’ve summarized religion in one phrase.

Which is nice when the item in question is like “onions” or “apples”. Things that don’t have a ton of variety or choice.
There are so many soaps and he seems like a little bitch, the kind that will want to smell each one to make sure it’s manly.
- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 2 weeks ago:
Small talk is the human equivalent to the initialization/handshake phase of the TCP protocol.
It establishes the connection, introduces the speakers, validates the presence of the other, and then allows data transmission to take place.
Unlike computers, we humans require years of practice to get it correct because there isn’t one set standard.

I’m sick of talking about a “living wage”. I want a thriving wage.

Eh, most people burn their coffee or get shitty coffee. Salt helps enhance the coffee profile and decrease the bitterness that comes out when coffee is over brewed.
The number of people who don’t know how to properly make coffee drives me nuts.

Despite what he said, he didn’t vote for Trump for the economy.
He voted for Trump because he was racist. So unless he suddenly became unracist, he will vote Republican again and blame a darker skinned person for the failure of his shoe business.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
You know for fuck sure this guy is going to vote Republican in the midterms and then do another insurrection to make sure Trump is “elected” in 2028.
- Comment on My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online 5 weeks ago:
I always felt informed delivery was a solution in search of a problem. Getting an email of a letter that’s coming to me?
The only solution I could see this for is if you have a PO Box or a remote address.
- Comment on My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online 5 weeks ago:
The ad was served from the same domain as the EMR. Got past my pihole.
- Comment on My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online 5 weeks ago:
I assume any corporate owned website uses Google. analytics. I fortunately have their domain blocked at the DNS level
- Comment on My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online 5 weeks ago:
I have pihole at home and this ad wasn’t blocked due it being served from the same domain as the EMR.

- Comment on Trump's New Streaming Service Truth+ Is a Conspiracy Theorist's Dream Come True 5 weeks ago:
I actually recall a real, not fake, scientific paper (maybe it was an editorial or something but it was legit) that discussed the possibility of a hollow earth.
This was like 15 years or so ago so my memory is a bit hazy.
The thesis was that the working hypothesis of how magnetism and other evidence around the earth with layers can also point to a hollow earth. There was a lot of physics and math. The paper was serious but not like “I have cited sources” but more of an idea.
I suspect that, like most conspiracy theories, the hollow moon took that idea and perverted it beyond recognition.
- Comment on Things are getting really crazy. 5 weeks ago:
The problem was that The Onion tipped their hand. They needed to do what these high class tax dodgers do and create a completely separate legal entity (e.g. Information Combat Readiness Group) and submit bids under that name. Once purchased, sell the company to The Onion for pennies, or if they are really smart, rent the assets to the Onion for bajillion dollars, which then the Onion can write off and pay less taxes.
And yes, that’s how our corporate tax system works.

I had this happen after I changed my unlock code and then locked myself out.
I imagine part of this is a conflict between their logic for reinstalling your settings and the fact that your credentials have been changed and you need to unlock them. The account restore workflow doesn’t have a path for people who recently changed their passcode but need to log in.
I ended up abandoning the process and starting over. But gave me the opportunity to try a new launcher.

- Comment on Jeremy Renner Turned Down ‘Hawkeye’ Season 2 Because He Was Offered ‘Half’ His Season 1 Salary: ‘Did You Think I’m Only Half the Jeremy Because I Got Ran Over?’ 1 month ago:
It was campy. Not great, but not terrible. Formulaic but overall okay.
I feel like The Marvels (I think?) ties the ending of Hawkeye with the rest of the MCU.
