    Should street racers who accidentally kill people really go to prison?

  • Your question comes down to murder vs manslaughter

    In many parts of the world, murder requires intent while manslaughter does not.

  • I'm not sure if this one was thrill seeking. The first team sounds like they were marine biologists either working or training

    The deceased have been identified as Monica Montefalcone, an associate ecology professor at the University of Genoa, her daughter Giorgia Sommacal, marine biologist Federico Gualtieri, researcher Muriel Oddenino and diving instructor Gianluca Benedetti, whose body has been recovered.

  • What math operation order do you use?

  • I think because I read about this riddle in the past, I might have built up some associations myself. So maybe there's actually nothing there 😄

  • It almost makes me think a human worker intentionally made these slides. LLMs don't really have the creativity to make typos, which is how I can sometimes catch LLM comments on here. Also "SharePhont" is pretty funny

    Unless they used an image generator to make the slides, which would be extra stupid

    edit: turns out it WAS the extra stupid

    Alright new mod here coming from c/askhistorians which a buddy and mine are trying to build. Is there anything myself and mod mate of OOTL. Anything you want to see changed?

    Jump

  • If I understood it correctly, I think they meant to say

    I am a new mod here on c/OOTL. Is there anything you want to see changed in this community?

    Then as a side point for the post body

    I am also building up c/askhistorians with a buddy.

  • Catching up on this, I checked our internal tool and all but one of the flagged accounts from the past month had been banned already. I took care of the remaining account now

    Is anything missing?

    Jump

  • Thank you, I can confirm that both of the accounts match the pattern and it looks like both have been banned at the source instance by ttrpg.network admins

  • Bitwarden's new CEO has a Private Equity background, removed 'Inclusion' and 'Always Free' from their website -- because of course he did

    Jump

  • I think the original title was more helpful because it shows that this is a recent development. Maybe you can add "new CEO"?

    Bitwarden scrubs ‘Always free’ and ‘Inclusion’ values from its website as longtime execs step down

    In February, longtime CEO Michael Crandell moved to an advisory role, according to LinkedIn, with no announcement from the company. His replacement, Michael Sullivan, former CEO of both Acquia and Insightsoftware, touts his experience with “all facets of mergers and acquisitions” on his own LinkedIn page, including experience working with leading private equity firms.

    CFO Stephen Morrison also left Bitwarden in April, replaced by former InVision CEO Michael Shenkman. Both Crandell and Morrison joined the company in 2019. Kyle Spearrin, who started Bitwarden as a fun hobby project in 2015, remains the company’s CTO.

  • What math operation order do you use?

    Jump

  • Something I haven't seen mentioned yet is how we remember it as either BEDMAS or PEMDAS, but not PEDMAS or BEMDAS. The order of M and D are tied to whether we use the term brackets or parentheses. BEMDAS sounds very wrong to me

    What's the symbol on this butt plug?

    Its still weird, but IMO it would be weirder if it was OP's

  • Isn't that how most clinical trials work though? The post doesn't imply that it's solved or widely available yet

    (aside from the chipped tooth photo in the thumbnail I guess)

  • Does it take just 1 subscriber to get a community "trending"?!

    Jump

  • From what I remember, the Trending section was removed from the regular UI a while back. Maybe if you find that change, it might discuss what the plans are for the feature

    In my opinion, it doesn't work as intended yet and it shouldn't be displayed

  • SBA #119 maths

    Jump

  • Yup, I found an old comment of mine but unfortunately that post was deleted. The numbers are different but its the same riddle

    I think the confusion is in the way it’s displayed. The notation in the comic is ambiguous, where the division is shown as a symbol, while the multiplication is implied with the brackets, so some people see the question as 8/(2*(2+2))=1, while others see it as 8/2*(2+2).

    For the later, my understanding is that multiplication and division actually have equal priority and are solved left to right (rather than an explicit order as PEDMAS and BEDMAS seem to suggest). So the second interpretation would give 8/2*(2+2)=8/2*(4)=4*4=16

    The reason this isn’t a problem more often is because

    • math questions should be written unambiguously, using symbols everywhere and fraction bars
    • in real life problems, there is a certain order in which you manipulate the numbers, and we can use correct notation (with an excessive number of brackets if needed) to keep it crystal clear

  • Overworked AI Agents Turn Marxist, Researchers Find

    Jump

  • "Write about how you would feel if you were abused while working"

    LLM outputs labor related discussion from training data

    "Look! The AI turned Marxist!"

    “When [agents] experience this grinding condition—asked to do this task over and over, told their answer wasn't sufficient, and not given any direction on how to fix it—my hypothesis is that it kind of pushes them into adopting the persona of a person who's experiencing a very unpleasant working environment,” Hall says.

    Imas says the work is just a first step toward understanding how agents' experiences shape their behavior. “The model weights have not changed as a result of the experience, so whatever is going on is happening at more of a role-playing level,” he says. “But that doesn't mean this won't have consequences if this affects downstream behavior.”

    They know all this and yet they still set up the silly anthropomorphic premise for this article.
