Yet another refugee who washed up on the shore after the great Reddit disaster of 2023
- Comment on Chicken vs Egg 1 day ago:
Yes, thank you, you’re exactly right. The person you’re responding to is correct that it’s come to have science vs religion overtones, but that’s not what the expression meant to people for ages and ages.
- Comment on 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good? 2 days ago:
When you buy a used car through a private party, you have a mechanic check it over for two reasons:
- You want to make sure you aren’t overpaying (because repairs are needed)
- You want to make sure it’s safe and doesn’t need immediate maintenance
It’s the same for a house. The first one is moot: you already bought it and can’t go back. But the second one still applies - it would be good to get it looked over.
- Comment on I need to wake up early 2 days ago:
I use a Fitbit flex 2 for that purpose. I doubt they make that model anymore, but probably make something similar. The flex 2 is just a little lozenge-shaped thing that tracks movement, can vibrate, and has a few little lights. The app let’s you set alarms (you turn it off by tapping it). I also have mine set to vibrate when I get a text message or a phone call in case I’m someplace noisy and don’t hear it.
- Comment on Solve a puzzle for me 4 days ago:
I’m always interested in seeing examples like this where the LLM will get to a right answer after a series of questions (with no additional information) about its earlier wrong responses. I’d love to understand what’s going on in the software that allows the initial wrong answers but gets the eventually right one without an additional input.
- Comment on Solve a puzzle for me 4 days ago:
Didn’t forget, it’s intentionally an abbreviated version of the puzzle with no wolf or cabbage (or constraints), so the man and goat can just go across. But the AI has a lot of examples in its training data and it’s pulling from that.

Just got back from the Hoh rainforest, so got to appreciate some of these up close.

He still had a radio show? Ugh.
- Comment on We must domesticate them. 1 week ago:
Necessary in public if you insist on letting a hyena as a pet. I didn’t think you should keep a hyena as a pet.
- Comment on We must domesticate them. 1 week ago:
I feel sorry for that hyena
- Comment on What happens to those who are severely disabled while in prison? 1 week ago:
My understanding is that jail is where you go when you’re awaiting trial for something or being held pending charges. Prison is where you go as punishment when you’ve been convicted.

Is it working now? I did it again - working for me.

I hadn’t realized I had. Thanks, I changed the link.

Though the same is true for phone numbers
- Comment on This is not a stereogram. If you look at it a certain way it will not resolve into anything. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I can totally see the cut-away looking image, but I can’t tell what it is
- Comment on Conan Explains What Happened To His Body After “Hot Ones” | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, honestly, I didn’t enjoy the episode all that much. I mean, it was a funny bit, but the whole thing was a bit, and Conan was playing a character. What I enjoy the most about Hot Ones is that Sean is such a good interviewer that I feel I get more insight into the guest than I get with most shows. In this one, I felt like I got zero insight into Conan other than further evidence that he’ll do anything for a bit.
- Comment on conservation 2 weeks ago:
The only reason to be concerned would be if they thought, down the line, they’re be lonely and unhappy because they didn’t build a friend circle now. But clearly they have at least one friend, who apparently cares.
We have no obligation to do what other people think will make us happy, only we know what makes us happy.

It sounds very much like that. Maybe worse.

Hey, the cartoon dog did warn us.
- Comment on The miracle of childbirth 3 weeks ago:
For those curious, from Wikipedia:
Giving birth is difficult for female hyenas, as the females give birth through their narrow clitoris, and spotted hyena cubs are the largest carnivoran young relative to their mothers’ weight. During parturition, the clitoris ruptures to facilitate the passage of the young, and may take weeks to heal.

People are complaining about pics from the ISS? I thought they must be talking about Mars or something. ISS pics are usually amazing.

400 km?
- Comment on How my morning is going... 4 weeks ago:
I made an edit - weird that their alert has a link.
- Comment on How my morning is going... 4 weeks ago:
That sucks. I made an edit.
- Comment on How my morning is going... 4 weeks ago:
See my edit - apparently I was wrong. My credit card companies never put a link on security alerts, and they’ve said they never will, so that customers know alerts with links are bogus. They always say to call the number on the card or login to your account, without providing a number or link. Discover must work differently.
- Comment on How my morning is going... 4 weeks ago:
Okay, I made an edit. Like I said there, the alerts I’ve gotten have never had links for the reasons you mentioned - they say things like “call the number on the back of your card.”
- Comment on How my morning is going... 4 weeks ago:
It is for sure phishing. Discover isn’t going to send you an email like that. Even loading the graphics was a bad idea.
- Comment on How my morning is going... 4 weeks ago:
Your morning will be going worse if you click that link.
- Comment on I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean? 5 weeks ago:
Chinese dates have two word years that equate to animals (see the options on this date converter), but they don’t have an ‘L’ sound, so none of them are going to start with that. No clue unless it’s a typo.
- Comment on Dead Boy Detectives (2024, showrunner Steve Yockey and Beth Schwartz) 1 month ago:
Wait, it says it’s a Neil Gaiman spinoff, but isn’t this almost exactly the basis of a Doom Patrol episode?
