  • Username appropriate

  • Controversial, but until they are diagnosed with a mental illness, you have to assume they are in control of their actions regardless of their age. If a medically mentally sound 70 year old man is sexually harassing people, he's just as guilty as someone half their age (not saying your parents would do that, just proving a point).

    My personal opinion is you choose who you have relationships with, including family relationships. If you want to keep a relationship with them, you have to accept that they are choosing to act this way (again, assuming no medical/mental conditions) and decide to love them anyway.

    If they are actually experiencing mental decline and not just relaxing their inhibitions, as so many older people tend to do, then you need to get them to a doctor fast. Everything from medication side effects to vitamin deficiency can cause mental decline. If they have early dementia, or some other incurable mental ailment, talk to a therapist about how to handle the situation and stay sane yourself. Caring for someone you know will never get well is extremely hard emotionally.

  • Sounds sketchy for sure. But some follicle tests for weed can go back up to a year, you could have actually tested positive. The conspiracy part comes back in because usually they only test for 2-3 months unless a different time frame is requested.

    Your boss could have had a connection at the hotel, and convinced them to get a test for a longer time frame. Most believable answer to me at least. Especially if he knew you smoked or smelled it on you.

  • I bet it would be like one of those shitty tiktoks/shorts where the instant the video starts the person is mid word. Because that dopamine cycle doesn't have time for you to properly cut a video.

    Personally I think the position would be harder to nail down. You can't exactly fit a person into a singularity without some compression. So you'd have to start watching it after at least a few nanoseconds so you'd have room for your physical body.

  • We are not to the point of climate change where we can expect rapid, radical changes to the way the majority of Americans live. And when we hit that point, it won't be made by complaining to the people driving cars, it will be made by politicians abolishing zoning laws, setting stronger restrictions on rent within cities, and heavy investment into public transportation.

    Blaming the huge number of people who can't afford to live in a city and must drive an hour each way for work just makes you an asshole.

  • Model 3 backseat is pretty awful for anyone over 6'. And I say that as someone who owns a model 3

  • The UI is not the worst I've ever had in a car, it sacrifices a lot in favor of simplicity and/or software but a lot of simple tasks can be done through voice or happen automatically.

    Wipers are auto, headlights are auto, but if you need to adjust them without using a voice command, you're gonna say "why can't this just be like a normal car"

    You do get used to a lot of the quirks pretty quick. But there are a lot of quirks to get used to.

    Not an Elon fan, just got one for a steal of a deal through a family member.

  • Bad/wrong documentation is worse than no documentation.

    "Practice makes perfect" is only true if you're practicing the right stuff. Otherwise you're just reinforcing bad habits.

  • I feel like you're undereducated on how and when AI models are trained. Especially for the gpt model, it's not "constantly learning" like other models. It's being tweaked in discreet increments by developers trying to cover their ass, and get it to less frequently say things they can be sued for.

    Also, AI are already training other AI, that's kinda how AI are made.... There's an AI that detects how well a given phrase follows another phrase, and that's used to train the part of the AI you interact with. (arguably they are part of the same whole, depending on how you view the architecture)

    CGP gray has a good into video on how bots learn, it's pretty outdated and not really applicable to how LLMs learn, but the general idea is still there.

  • Stories I've heard in the last year from my friends and co-workers:

    • Bragging about how they got 5 hours of sleep last night because their newborn finally slept until 6am

    • A "funny" story about how their 5 year old managed to get a hold of some chewing gum and got it stuck in their hair and all over a rug

    • A potty training "success" story about how their toddler remembered to pull down their pants, but remembered mid shit they should have sat on the toilet, so they shat all over the bathroom.

    • They found a juice box their kid bit a hole into and then tucked under their car seat... By smelling it rotting

    Trojan just needs to get a group of parents together to tell stories about their kids and paste them word for word on the back of their boxes.

  • It's definitely gone down hill recently, but at the launch of gpt4 it was pretty incredible. It would make several logical jumps that a lot of actual people probably wouldn't make. I remember my "wow moment" was asking how many M&M's would fit in a typical glass milk jug, and then I measured it myself (by weight) and got an answer about 8% off. It gave measurements and cited actual equations. I couldn't find anything through Google that solved the same problem or had the same answer that it could have just copied. It was supposed to be bad at math, but gpt4 got those types of problems pretty much spot on for me.

    I think that most people who have tried the latest AI models have had a bad experience because its power is distributed over more users.

  • Congratulations on your resistance to chemical addiction then. I still seriously doubt your claims though.

  • I'm calling bullshit that you get minimal effects going from regular (the most important part is regular) over 400mg (and upwards of 1000mg) caffeine in a day to zero.

    Unless you're just a natural freak who doesn't become dependent on stimulants, you absolutely should feel like crap for at least a day or two.

  • I love Japanese architecture and Japanese food. And I've watched my fair share of anime and read my fair share of manga.

    Anyone who doesn't know how terrible Japanese culture is to outsiders needs to educate themselves, there's a reason they sided with Hitler. That culture never really went away like it did for Germany. Talk to an actual Japanese person, who went to school in Japan and see how much they know about their war crimes, and then talk to a German.

  • Same here. For the last ten years I have pretty much only used RIF, so when that app died so did my account.

  • If you find yourself doing that, just stop programming and look for another job

    I don't think that is an appropriate response to someone misunderstanding a package. Just educate them in a kind and respectful manner and they'll learn.

  • An old podcast introduced me to 'All Day' by Girl Talk. I thought it was the weirdest shit at first but I kept coming back to it, now I listen to it basically any time I'm doing menial/tedious work.

  • I thought lemmy didn't have karma outside of the individual posts/comments.

  • This looks so inconvenient. Glad you like it, but this is 'awful taste, great execution" for me.
