I gotta stop giving reality the benefit of the doubt.

If this were real, consider how it would come to be. It’s obvious that even if we pretend it’s for accessibility purposes, it’s worse than just pulling up beside the bench because now you have to deal with backing into the spot.
But what if it’s more nefarious than that? No budget to put in new benches with spikes or whatever built in. But maybe there’s room in the budget for “accessibility upgrades”. Maybe a ramp was sacrificed for this idiocy.

Yup, that is completely devoid of royalty alright.

They are referring to the point where a 4-12 tree sapling raised for landscaping is planted in the final location.
I bet the LLM was referring to the point at which the tree is planted though
- Comment on ai will surely save us all 1 week ago:
A 4-12 year old sapling.

Oh! That’s where I went!
- Comment on ai will surely save us all 1 week ago:
Which go unplanted for 4-12 years?
- Comment on ai will surely save us all 1 week ago:
Saplings aren’t trees?

What is a tree before it turns 4-12 years old?

Don’t do it. They just want to harvest your data for Big Squid.

inept managers
Inept in what way? It’s an automated queue.
call center staff being paid min wage so they don’t care
Don’t care about what? They aren’t manually calling people back. Their phone system lights up and they answer the call that connects.
people on the call back list get placed in a lower priority queue
For what reason?
- Comment on Don't believe them 1 week ago:
It just doesn’t really add up. What incentive would they have to develop a callback system, and use it, but delay the callbacks?

But there’s no way to know that

No, keep using Reaper, it’s absolutely one of the best DAWs in existence IMO. Made and released a few albums with it.
I cut my teeth on FL and Ableton, and Bitwig is very Ableton-like. It also has a native Linux version, which is what sold me.
But it’s pretty expensive and really only worth it if you know it’s what you want.

And I loved Reaper dearly, until Bitwig

Anyways, Bitwig.

It is absolutely still extremely mysterious.
- Comment on Let's stick with just the one observer from now on, then 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, but you have to define “observation”.
- Comment on Let's stick with just the one observer from now on, then 4 weeks ago:
Right, but you have to define what “observation” means when you’re talking about things that small.
- Comment on Let's stick with just the one observer from now on, then 4 weeks ago:
Interacting in this context meaning physically manipulating the particle.
So things like the quantum eraser experiment are a good example. If you entangle the original particle with another particle, and you are able to measure that other particle (even if you don’t actually do so) the waveform collapses and no interference pattern occurs.
Basically, the mere existence of information about the path the original particle takes is enough to collapse the wave function.
None of which is remotely intuitive and hurts a little bit to think about.
- Comment on Let's stick with just the one observer from now on, then 4 weeks ago:
True – its definitely a lot more complicated than that, and there are ways to “observe” without interacting, which still manage to collapse the superposition.
- Comment on Let's stick with just the one observer from now on, then 4 weeks ago:
So the thing is, “observe” here means that you want to look at an electron to see which path it’s taking. How do you “observe” it? By hurling a photon at it, at light speed, it smashes into the electron, changing its course, and then back to you.
Once you define what’s actually happening, it becomes a lot less mysterious why “observation” changes the results.
