Yeah but if they don’t show which is which I ask them to show too.
Almost everyone gets screw turning right, it just weeds out a few people who say the right things in emails.
- Comment on Automation 5 days ago:
I did actually make the mistake of asking just “which way do you turn a screw” once and the person had the sense to ask “to tighten or loosen it?”
- Comment on Automation 6 days ago:
I’ve just started doing practical interviews. I basically get really young people with little overall experience and I just want to know if they can do common technical tasks.
So one question is to literally have them explain how to tighten a bolt. One person failed.
- Comment on Photographers Push Back on Facebook's 'Made with AI' Labels Triggered by Adobe Metadata. Do you agree “‘AI was used in this image’ is completely different than ‘Made with AI’”? 6 days ago:
The complaint the photographer is making is that it’s an actual image where a small portion is made or changed with AI.
They list expanding the edges of the image to change the aspect ratio and removing flaws, unwanted objects etc.
Removing flaws and objects at least is a task that predates computers - people changed the actual negatives, and tools to do it have improved that a computer can basically do it all for you.
I think people should just say how they modified the image - AI or not - since airbrushed skin, artificial slimming, and such have been common complaints before AI manipulation, and AI just makes those same problematic things easier.
- Comment on Why isn't jerking off more valorized as an easy dopamine hit that's also literally good for you? 2 weeks ago:
Downplaying the nonsense that you tried to make more palatable by putting it next to actual issues and hoping you could use it to misdirect when you got called out, while also pointing out your completely untrue claims betray that you got justly called out for some IRL bad behavior and want to blame feminists for creating a social norm where that behavior is no longer tolerated.

“She didn’t actually say what she said in the book. Or what she said in multiple interviews. She really said whatever dumb strawman I want to make up.”

“She is often said to argue that “all heterosexual sex is rape”, based on the line from the book that says, “Violation is a synonym for intercourse.” However, Dworkin has denied this interpretation, stating, “What I think is that sex must not put women in a subordinate position. It must be reciprocal and not an act of aggression from a man looking only to satisfy himself. That’s my point.”[1]”
Second paragraph on wikipedia…

- Comment on Anon tries to keep his hands busy 3 weeks ago:
You’re confusing correlation does not equal causation with some other logical fallacy. Probably denying the antecedent, but I can’t be arsed to look up the specific one.
If you think Christianity is uniquely bad that’s probably because you haven’t learned enough about other religions.
- Comment on Fellow millennials, how do you prevent your child from yearning for the mines? 4 weeks ago:
OP doesn’t specify, but I read the gripe as it’s a branded truck that’s basically an advertisement you pay to give to your kid. And it’s geared towards kids exactly to expose them at a young age and make a positive association that will pay off when they grow up.
I like UPS more as a company than FedEx or Amazon because it supposedly has a decent union and actually pays their employees. But the toy itself is still an ad, and I personally don’t view it any more highly than I view similar Amazon truck toys that pander to children. If it were some generic delivery truck I doubt anyone would even notice.
- Comment on Can a judge sue a defendant for slander/libel? 4 weeks ago:
Before showing falsehood you need to show damages. In the US it’s completely OK to lie about someone as long as it doesn’t cost them money.
- Comment on Can a judge sue a defendant for slander/libel? 4 weeks ago:
IANAL. Probably not.
Defamation needs to show damages and the judge would need to show that somehow those statements materially damaged them.
Public figures also need to meet higher bars for defamation.

Your chances of beating a wolf are low enough that you’d probably be better off with the quick death the other two would provide.

- Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though. 1 month ago:
corn
On indirect consumption, corn is largely used to feed cattle, make high fructose corn syrup, and other products that are not directly eaten as corn.
This makes corn insanely inefficient as a food source.
