“rips” “drags” “slams”

What is with the weird word choice for modern news articles?

Lets whip out the thesaurus, use some flowery language! It can still be easy to understand but let’s expand past the weird 3 verbs we’ve been limited to!

“Senator Matt Gaetz forgot that investigations prove innocence too, and lashes out with his comments about a new investigation into his alleged intimate relationships with high schoolers.”

Really, if somebody wanted to investigate me about something I knew I was innocent about, I’d say “do your worst” not “ugh why would you investigate me” in a whiny voice.

Thank you, wish we could vote on a new title as a community, a’la stack overflow

Moving to EVs is great, all countries are following similar trends and it is a good step in the right direction, but China has a long way to go before becoming a bastion of ecological absolution. Shanghai’s fog of pollution is something everyone should experience.

Remember china has the second largest population on the planet, cumulative metrics are useful but miss the bigger per capita picture. Check out the wikipedia article on ev usage and note the per capita numbers

Wow what a neat project, I have spent a lot of time recently working around vulkan on m1 machines with compatibility layers and while it’s not a huge pain it does suck to miss out on some of the more powerful features of vulkan that the hardware is certainly capable of. I’m not keen on learning metal to bridge the gap and this is just what the doctor ordered.

This will be a huge boon for me, way to go!

We don’t deserve our open source heroes, so grateful for the incredible free software ecosystem

Gimp, 7zip, blender, vlc, open office, the kernel, thousands of others, I feel like our lives have been universally improved by these inverted charity projects. The few taking care of the undeserving many.

Who’s taking fish oil supplements? People who are concerned for their health or people who are generally healthy? Observational studies like this seem much less useful than a dedicated study with properly allocated controls

Rocket chat I think checks those boxes

At the start of the study, we asked participants to take a visual sensitivity test. For the test, they had to press a button as soon as they saw a triangle forming in a field of moving dots. People who would develop dementia were much slower to see this triangle on the screen than people who would remain without dementia

It certainly feels like the cost of groceries has been growing at a much more significant pace than the one reported here, it may be worth discussing the methodologies used.

Is this using the average of all goods as in the grocery store has 100 cereals by 10 brands and only 5 cereals have increased their prices by 50% therefore the general trend is pretty flat?

Or is it accounting for volume purchased as well? If those 5 cereals account for 95% of all cereal volume, the metric should be much more heavily swayed by their rate of increase.

I say this because perhaps it feels worse than it appears in these metrics because the specific brands and products available to us and frequently purchased may be inflating higher than industry averages, and “hiding in plain sight”

Guy shoulda tried emacs instead, wife is probably an elitist

That’s just what a sneaky person would say 🧐

Now I’m taking extra precautions just to spite you!

The mormons have subscribed to north american horse facts, too bad the timelines don’t quite line up!

Dragon quest monsters (dragon warrior monsters in America)

This game was the bomb, I loved the monster breeding mechanics, you could breed monsters of different types to get entirely new ones.

After how ajit pai shilled the fuck out of the chair position I don’t know if I can ever take it seriously again.

Fuck ajit pai, of course.

ML stands for machine learning

Someone with more knowledge may have a better response than me, but as far as I understand it GPT-x (3.5 or 4) is what’s called a “large language model” it’s a neural network that predicts natural language. I don’t believe AGI is the goal of OpenAI’s product, I believe natural language processing and prediction is.

ChatGPT in particular is a product simply demonstrating the capability of the GPT models, and while I’m sure openai themselves could build out components of the interface to interact with discrete knowledge like math, modifying the output of the LLM to be more accurate in many cases, it’s my opinion that it would defeat the entire purpose of the product.

The fact that they have achieved what they have already is absolutely mind boggling, I’m sure that the precise solution you’re talking about is on the horizon, I personally know several developers actively working on systems that mirror the thoughts you’ve expressed here.
