It seems a big limitation that the users in the study were bots.

Seems like an accurate representation of social media to me.

Yes I am lol

The only correct spelling is “electronic mail”, though “digital correspondence” is also acceptable these days.

You raise a good point. Consider me in.

I disagree that all Humans can or do reason.

Well if we’re talking about all humans…

But more seriously, it doesn’t take much looking to find someone who doesn’t reason. Just look on the TV during the next major election and you’ll find a bunch.

They are obvious liars. Some people are just too invested to see it.

These models only have reasoning capabilities using the most obscure definitions of “reasoning”. At best, all they’re doing are climbing to local maxima with their so-called “reasoning” on a graph as wavy as the ocean.

I’ve mentioned this on other posts, but it’s really sad because LLMs have been wildly incredible for certain NLP operations. They are that though, not AGI or whatever snake oil Altman wants to sell this week.

Unity publishes some source code for reference purposes only. It is not open source, just made public.

I’d love to see him go through with it. Let’s destroy the economy. His followers would love that.

You will be surprised of what it can achieve.

But not by what it can’t.

Last time this happened, the president (of South Korea) was impeached, suspended, arrested, and charged with insurrection.

Look, I can dream, okay?

If Wikipedia is required to do verification and doesn’t have the funds for it, they could just IP block the UK. Maybe it’d get people to give a shit too if Wikipedia noped out of the entire country as a result.

Downtown NY? Why would anyone want to make that their destination? Also, why does one have to be on the street?

Well someone who can’t afford a home out of state would presumably need somewhere to live until then, and there tend to be better resources in cities than in rural towns.

They can get a job.

Clearly you’ve never needed to search for one. Consider yourself lucky.

I think you assume it’s Texas or the Streets, which is just funny

I still don’t see your attempt to prove this wrong. Lets see you make a cross-state move to somewhere better with almost nothing in the bank. Show us all how it’s done. I’m the random internet stranger, and I’m now issuing you the same challenge you gave to them.

Not only is Safari miserable to test on without a Mac, whenever I see an exception to something in caniuse, it’s almost always Safari.

Personally I noticed but don’t really care. I mostly consider it off topic to even bring it up, and I’m used to it enough at this point that reading it isn’t really that hard.

I don’t get the hate. Seems really pointless. It’s not that bad to read. Plus, it reminds me of Iceland (though I only transited through it unfortunately).

A national reform of voting methods to kill FPTP. Making all forms of political bribery illegal. Making illegal all forms of judicial bribery. Paying civil servants a competitive salary so that people don’t just make fun of government jobs and actually view it as competent. Making illegal all forms of anticompetition, including stipulations that prevent the government from negotiating on prices, and instead require it to do so. Rehiring Lina Khan.

I don’t know. The list is long. It won’t happen though. If it were going to happen, it would have already started to.

Guess I’ll post another update. The block-based data structure makes no sense to me. At some point it claims that looking up a pair in the data structure is O(1):

To delete the key/value pair ⟨a,b⟩, we remove it directly from the linked list, which can be done in O(1) time.

This has me very confused. First, it doesn’t explain how to find which linked list to remove it from (every block is a linked list, and there are many blocks). You can binary search for the blocks that can contain the value and search them in order based on their upper bounds, but that’d be O(M * |D_0|) just to search the non-bulk-prepended values.

Second, it feels like in general the data structure is described primarily from a theoretical perspective. Linked lists here are only solid in theory, but from a practical standpoint, it’s better to initialize each block as a preallocated array (vector) of size M. Also, it’s not clear if each block’s elements should be sorted by key within the block itself, but it would make the most sense to do that in my opinion, cutting the split operation from O(M) to O(1), and it’d answer how PULL() returns “the smallest M values”.

Anyway, it’s possible also that the language of the paper is just beyond me.

I like the divide-and-conquer approach, but the paper itself is difficult to implement in my opinion.

You quit your job, cancel your lease, and live on the streets in downtown NY. Do it. Show us all how easy it is to do.

When you do, come back and reply, and I’ll give you the upvotes you deserve.

If a company fired and tried to rehire me, it’d be the perfect opportunity to negotiate. Imagine asking for a 20% raise and all of the unvested stock they robbed you of in addition to a stock bonus.

And yeah, I’d ask for that.

I know a few people who have more plaque than teeth. I always want to say something, but it always seems like it’d be rude so I don’t.

The plaque isn’t really the problem though (well it might be to their dental health but that’s on them). It’s the breath. I can’t stand within 5ft without gagging. Like they’re cool people otherwise, and I feel bad that it’s so bad, but it literally smells like week old roadkill being near them.

Maybe some flesh eating flies can help here? Put them on the plaque and see if they eat it. The whole “larvae corkscrewing into the flesh” bit might lead to some cavities, but hopefully someone can get that piece under control, and worst case it’ll help the dentist prepare for any necessary fillings I guess.

I’m sure there’s at least one carnivorous house plant that you could feed an anchovy to.

Edit: looked it up out of curiosity and some people have seeming fed smaller fish, like guppies, to their plants.
