It's a long article that I admittedly didn't read all of. I got to the part where it said the details of his algorithm are basically unknown, which means his data means nothing. If someone can't provide the proof to their claims, they have no merit.

An LLM that's built entirely on code repo data, and is somehow claiming workers "do virtually nothing" without any sort of outside data, is insane.

I think the sentiment is the same and correctly enough portrayed in the meme to get it across. Point being, it's an arbitrary line.

Also, is America uniquely racist, or just the most prominent because extra guns/cops and a larger news presence?

I kind of like explaining it to newcomers. Feels good to enlighten the masses. It's the basically "lucky 10000" xkcd.

If it's true and catches on, more power to them. I don't believe anyone advertising that is being truthful and I definitely don't think it will catch on.

I've watched a good chunk of videos on moonshine at home, and for anyone interested in this further, most of them are pretty clear and you can see the difference between the methanol and ethanol when collecting.

The methanol is cloudy, so the first jar+ is collected and separated. After that the remaining is collected for drinking. I believe that some people will then dump the methanol in their next mash to distill it again and get some of the ethanol that was also collected with the methanol. It's a pretty neat, and simple process with huge implications.

Or just intelligence. Zero experience there too.

The difference between us giving him a benefit of the doubt and claiming innocence and your take, is that you are labeling him a pedophile without proof. That's a significant claim if false, and imo takes an assumption too far. Maybe he's bad and it should be looked into, but saying he did something because he was on a show with and good friends with a guy that happened to be a rapist is wrong.

It takes a first grade reading level to draw the correlation between illegal prisons camps and concentration camps. Everyone else got there but you. Read a history book.

We don't negotiate with terrorists.

Ubuntu is absolutely a beginner friendly OS. If I give a computer to somebody that knows nothing more than how to turn it on, Ubuntu will be no more difficult for that person to surf the internet than it would be in Windows. I've been teaching people how to use their computers for more than half my life and the vast majority of problems are ignorant people on Windows. Linux isn't inherently more difficult to use, it's just different. For adept Windows users, switching and expecting to be just as familiar is where it gets more tricky.

Same thing here. There was a big update earlier this year that made it so I can use Wayland, where before that, it was impossible. At this point, I can't tell you the last time I've had any GPU related issues. Further, I believe that Nvidia is now working with Linux for driver support, so it should get even better going forward.

I agree, but potentially rescuing a child from abuse, to me, is worth the low risk. Inaction is complacency.

You're making the assumption that there's a 100% chance that they will get shot. Cops suck, but they don't shoot 100% of the time.

I thought I saw or read that their special forces were using snorkels to sneak in the water. I know that doesn't answer your question, but I wanted to pile on a little.

It's negotiating 101. Open with the hoop dream so the next option isn't near as bad. If you get your first option, you win, and if you get the second option, you win a little less.

Sounds like OP did neither. While I dont trust cops at all, statistically, it would have been better to make the call because they more often than not don't shoot people. And actually, yes, bullets would solve the child abuse problem, just not in a way anybody would want. Can't abuse a child if you're dead.

I'd absolutely roll the dice for the child's safety over the piece of shit parents life.

It sounds like there was child abuse happening. Imo, you made a mistake not calling the police.

The majority of deaths in Afghanistan were not civilians, although a large chunk was.

Idk how different cat hair is from dog hair, but we have a Rottweiler and a German shepherd husky mix, and we vacuum daily. We have a Roomba that we don't really use anymore, but it filled up daily with dog hair. Very little loose hair in the house now.

I kind of figured that's how this process worked, and I'm glad you mentioned it. Now I really hope that you're right and that there's no way around it.
