studying doesn’t work (my “rich dad” got rich being an analphabet owner of stores)
This is fundamentally the same argument as:
The lottery works (my “rich dad” won it)
You have to think with expected value over large samples with stuff like this. For every analphabet dad that risks by opening a store and succeeds, how many have failed and we don’t hear their stories?
For most of us, we aren’t in college to learn a specific skill so much as we are there to learn how to be taught. To prove we are capable of taking instructions and producing results as requested.
This is true to the extent that you won’t be solving Organic Chemistry 1 or Linear Algebra exercises at your workplace, but I think it’s misleading. If anything, from my experience, people focus too much on producing the results and not enough on learning the skills. A lot of people stay on the mindset of “I only need the degree / where am I going to need that / the industry has moved on from this” and don’t build strong foundations
You would need to demolish half of every city in europe in order to replace every stop sign with roundabouts. But for places close to the entrances to the city, plus large interchanges they’re great.
Laws against drug posession and use target people that 99% of the times pose no harm to others. Drunk driving laws target people that can potentially harm, handicap or even kill innocents. This seems like an important distinction to me.
I concede that cops will probably disproportionately target minorities, but I doubt they need these laws specifically to impose their will or harass them.
“Higher intoxication” laws are necessary for DUI, imo. Is the severity of someone driving with 0.1 g/l over the limit the same with someone driving while scoring 1.2 g/l? It’s like scoffing at increased charges for murder vs assault.
What exactly is batshit about these laws?
I doubt it’s easy to keep it secret, especially in the middle east where american presence is high. I admit I do not know a lot about the DPRK’s nuclear weapons program, but a quick search shows it wasn’t really a secret.
I can’t be the only one that finds this cringe, right? It’s not like nations have a big red “get nukes” button at their governments’ central office. And Israel has bombed Iraq’s, Syria’s and now Iran’s nuclear power plants, all of which were civilian energy projects. Iran is even a signatory to the NPT and has been under IEAE surveillance for decades at this point. I don’t know about the cases of Iraq and Syria, but I assume they are similar.
My point is, if these countries were trying to get nukes, they would get thwarted immediately.
I can’t tell if this is satire or not
The american urge to unleash nuclear armageddon
In my experience, it doesn’t matter if they open at 10 or 11, because people will start showing up at 12 or 1am. And there’s some bar/night club hybrids (bar floorplan but packed with standing people and the music is at night club volumes) that for some reason society has marked as “after” places – where you go after your “main” club. These don’t peak before 2-3am, it’s insanity.
After some googling, I found this:
ć: A soft ty sound as in “Katya” or “feature”; occurs nearly exclusively in the combination ić at the end of family names. F Radić, Pavelić, Ranković, Milošević.
How do you expect people to know how to pronounce this without having studied the language before hand? It’s a pretty stupid thing to be angry about. People are raised with native language(s) and they can’t pronounce sounds or combinations of sounds not found in them without some training.
Japanese is easier to pronounce for English speakers, because it consists of simple syllables that map almost 1:1 with English ones. And people still mess up pronunciations, because of course they would, that’s how languages work, unfortunately.
It also helps that some Japanese words appear in English as their phonetic pronunciation and not their literal transliteration. E.g. tofu is actually written ‘toufu’ in hiragana, with ‘ou’ being a long ‘o’ sound.
Why do people comply with England’s honors system and always call knighted people ‘Sir’? I see it all the time with popular figures (e.g. Attenborough, Ferguson) on social media comments and I’m not from the UK.
You can also notice this in wikipedia. The page for a knighted person will always start with “Sir X is/was a …” even in languages other than English. The only exception I found to this was French wikipedia. I hope their journalists and general public do not comply with this idiotic nonsense as well.
The one time i used the web search thing it copied and pasted stuff directly from the sources, so maybe I made some wrong assumptions about that. But limiting their replies to what exists in a given web page shouldnt be too hard
I haven’t watched Black Mirror so I can’t really compare.
we don’t need to accurately predict all the exact ways it will go wrong ahead of time to make a point about how capitalism interacts with technology
I agree with this, that’s what I said at the part where you quoted me. But I think there should be some thought behind the satire. You could complain about:
The energy costs of running these models
People getting displaced because of new data centers using up all the water/electricity in an area
People treating LLMs as oracles
People using LLMs instead of actually learning the thing they’re studying
And so on. These are more fundamental problems than a server slowdown, an LLM alarm clock or the canned “As an LLM I cannot…” response.
This is too over the top. I understand the anger towards LLMs and the market hysteria to shoehorn them anywhere … but alarm clocks? Maybe someone will try to grift silicon valley with an idea like that, but I’m sure it won’t have widespread (or any, really) success, similar to the IoT SaaS juicer.
There has been a lot of meaningful improvements in the points made in the text recently. I don’t use LLMs frequently, but I used ChatGPT for something the other day and was surprised to find that it started replying instantly, and the speed of the text generation was much faster.
You can also have them reply by searching the Web first. If you do so, they will reply with sources for every claim. I assume a similar feature where they search PDFs/documentation is already in the works or released, so if we ever get to the point where we have AI assistants in cars, they will provide information based on your model only.
Also, I think we’re past the point where self driving cars are so useless that they end up looping in the parking lot. I wouldn’t be surprised if in 5 or 10 years they’re super reliable. An older relative of mine drives an EV (not a tesla, thankfully), and he has no complaints from the assisted driving features (not fully self driving though). For example, he says that if you overstep your lane, the car gradually corrects its position.
I don’t believe you have to write a satirical piece that’s 100% accurate with the latest models/technology, but right now you’re attacking a strawman
Maybe it’s demoralization? Look at me, I’m reopening a huge prison near your liberal city and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Didn’t they also name a pool after him
Alright, thanks. I’ll try starting with pushups, planks and running
however during the tendon building stage you’ll feel your arms being incorporated a lot, that might explain why you feel pressups they work the arms.
Is this why I feel my biceps giving up before my core, shoulders or any other muscle? (Last question I hope, thanks for the help so far)
Is the title wrong? The way it’s worded made me think the end user must have developer verification in order to side load “unverified” apps.But the article states:
Which means that they want “unverified” apps to be literally uninstallable.
How easy is it to enforce this? I don’t know android specifics, but maybe f-droid (which compiles from source) will bypass this?
