  • Another data point yesterday was University of Miami (Ohio) poll of Ohio showing Trump+3 in Ohio. It's not as extreme a swing as the Selzer Iowa poll but it's a significant shift from 2016, 2020 and much of the polling this cycle.

    So while the Selzer poll is out on a bit of an island, the Miami-Ohio poll certainly shows a similar swing.

    I'm inclined towards pessimism, but it's hard not to feel there's some significant herding happening, and that the averages are being affected by it as well as some low quality pollsters flooding the data with polls

  • THIS is the Bad Place.gif

  • Translation: all the times Tesla has vowed that all of its vehicles would soon be capable of fully driving themselves may have been a convenient act of salesmanship that ultimately turned out not to be true."

    There's a word for that already. Lied. They/He lied.

    No need for 30 words when 2 will do.

    They Lied.

  • I was wearing an onion on my belt, which was the fashion at the time

  • I've been using Boost. It has user tags, instance blocking which can even be extended to comments from blocked instances. Search is kinda eh, and sometimes gifs from less common sites won't load, but overall I'm happy with the experience.

    Previously I used Connect. It was pretty good. Had similar features as Boost, but I found more issues loading content with Connect. Admittedly that was about a year ago so things may have improved, but I haven't gone back to check.

  • Are there any colorized versions, either video or images? Might make for some compelling side by sides.

  • I think it's a poor phrasing. A more accurate statement would have been, "We have not been able to confirm a motive at this time" or similar. Basically leaving room for the idea that we all more or less know what the motive was, while acknowledging that's it has not (yet) been proven conclusively.

  • In-N-Out is definitely overrated. Their burgers are fine, maybe even good, but the fries are fucking trash. You can't be a restaurant with 2 things on the menu and have one of them be awful.

  • My name is Barf. I'm a mawg. Half man. Half dog. I'm my own best friend.

  • I think you're off by a factor of 10. 650k out of 330 million is about 1 in 500. It's still way too many people, don't get me wrong, just wanted to clarify.

  • I think 4th and 15 from the 30/35 actually has similar expected success rates and field position to the original onside kick rules. But I definitely agree with the concept

  • Pretty sure Spirit still does

  • He's English. You have described a Canadian.

  • Wait, what?

  • Yes. Stroll is a bad driver and only has a seat because Daddy bought him an F1 team for his birthday.

  • Which I find extremely odd, since some traditionally masculine activities are nature oriented. Hunting, fishing, outdoorsy stuff in general. It wasn't that long ago that (environmental) conservation was a huge component of those activities to ensure continued access for people to those activities. Maybe it still is but I certainly don't get that impression as strongly anymore.

  • Disney built its entire empire on existing/public domain stories. Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood. The list goes on. Hell even Aladdin is largely located from Middle Eastern fairy tales.

    The fact that they're relying on existing IP now is nothing new. It's who they've always been. It's just that they had to buy it since it wasn't already in the public domain.

  • What I don't understand is how Microsoft has/has Watson which was able to answer questions well enough to go on Jeopardy and dominate. And now, more than a decade later these LLMs absolutely suck at it.

    It makes me wonder if Watson was nothing more than a Mechanical Turk because what is out there now seems like a huge step backwards.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What movies, books or tv shows are meant to spoof/parody a particular genre while actually being a great example of the genre?
