  • Is there any hard evidence that supports the claim that an Android/Apple phone listens in on conversations?

  • The Conspiracy

  • Also new, unsold books are frequently and in large amounts returned to the printer and recycled.

  • It's one of the friendliest programming languages around. If you have written something in VBA then you'll do fine with Python, except for all the bad/outdated nonsense you'll have picked up from that language. And there's interactive interpreters you can just mess around in.

    If this doesn't scare you then give it a look:

     
        
    things = [4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42]
    for number in things:
        print(number * 16)
    
    
      
     
        
    64
    128
    240
    256
    368
    672
    
      
  • There's flowers blooming on the grave in the last panel.

  • I guess the idea is that yes, machine learning algorithms could be used to solve these, but that's essentially brute forcing. You can make a simple algorithm learn how to complete Super Mario Bros or how to make a virtual robot walk, it just takes millions of iterations. The promised actual artificial intelligence wouldn't need that.

  • Majority bias. It isn't unique to majority-white places and everybody will be familiar with in-group/out-group bias. It also frames it as a property of the society in question, not something the individual person possesses.

  • Neelix is a subdued, cerebral character compared to what I've seen from the Starfleet Academy show's trailer.

    Besides, it's called a mess hall for a reason.

  • We have already thrown just about all the Internet and then some at them. It shows that LLMs can not think or reason. Which isn't surprising, they weren't meant to.

  • it’s not that deep

    Says the one who has to put layers upon layers of justifications over the simple statement "domestic violence is bad" to make it sound good if one gender does it.

  • It took the Germans only 3.5 months to realize he might be a Nazi.

    Nah, we knew. And not just from his outfit.

  • Yup, the way he acted towards the founders of Tesla when he bought their company shows that dude's had issues for a looong time.

  • That was a big concern when TPMs first started appearing. I'm glad that that didn't go the way it might've. Yet.

  • A catapult on every rooftop!

  • The closest I’ve come in actual conversation is when someone has a habit of bringing up horrible things from their life or past on the most tenuous of connections. I don’t want your depression to depress me, I’m sorry.

    I don't really see how bringing up the possibility of elections being cancelled is more of a downer than planning on voting for whoever is willing to "prosecute the [current] regime at every level". The whole point is that the Republicans have genuinely, actually, for real turned fascist. That's horrifying and depressing on its own and I don't think it's out of line to at least assume that they would absolutely cancel/rig the elections if they think they can get away with it. Because that's what fascists do.

  • Sometimes scepters come in the strangest of forms!

  • I don't like gift cards or money because it tends to end up being circular - so not a gift at all, just $50 that keep making the rounds.

    The group might as well spend that money on a wandering birthday scepter. Much better and you can hit people with it.

  • Ska ftw

    I always think of this song by 7 seconds of love when I read that. Pretty much sums it up.
