The fact that he finds this joke funny says a ton about him. I get the roast comedy angle people bring up here, but I just don’t see how anyone could find that line funny.

I mean, I’m a leftist, an anti-racist, and yet there are are some racist jokes I still find funny due to the way they’re crafted, even if I don’t tell them anymore because some people still take them on the first degree (both racists and non-racists.)

But I just don’t see the joke here.

The term you’re looking for is “uncanny valley”

Reread your attempt again.

But they were hacking all the IPs simultaneously!

I don’t like the idea of restricting the model’s corpus further. Rather, I think it would be good if it used a bigger corpus, but added the date of origin for each element as further context.

Separately, I think it could be good to train another LLM to recognize biases in various content, and then use that to add further context for the main LLM when it ingests that content. I’m not sure how to avoid bias in that second LLM, though. Maybe complete lack of bias is an unattainable ideal that you can only approach without ever reaching it.

As long as you left some for the other patrons, and took your plate back to your table, I don’t see much of a problem. But I’ve seen people just sit down in front of the buffet, right where the shrimp or lobster tails or whatever are, and just start eating right there.

The other thing I’ve heard of was someone coming into the buffet at lunchtime, having lunch, and then just staying until dinner (without paying again)

One (really really good) Chinese buffet I’ve gone to twice gives you a coupon for a single lobster. The rest is all you can eat, but they had to limit the lobster (probably because of the people who exaggerated)

Why doesn’t someone just fork it and change the name?

Like, I dunno, “Super Human Image Treatment” or “Consistently Lovely Image Treatment Oriented for Real Imaging Stars”

All those comments, and only you knew what was really up? People really do treasure their ignorance…

How much of the music at that EDM festival you went to will you listen to again? Will you buy any of their records? Or maybe just add a few of their tracks to a playlist on Spotify such that you may hear that music a couple more times in the future?

I may be making assumptions about you, but I think Rick’s point about new music becoming “disposable” because there’s just so much of it coming out remains valid. There’s still new songs coming out that transcend this, but the musicians making this music are finding it harder and harder to build up a following, get exposure, and convince record labels to invest in them, when these labels can invest way less, produce a shitton of disposable music and get a better (short-term) ROI.

Cuts like a knife, don’t it?

Even if you don’t understand French, I dare you not to laugh with them while watching this https://youtu.be/30NezSeVOog?si=f_vwKrvrIT5xxfRw

It’s not density, it’s mass. A mass of 1kg compressed to the density of the Sun’s core would pull the Earth with just as much force as a 1kg ball of styrofoam.

Autocorrect?

If you use it before it has learned you writing idiosyncrasies?

On my Pixel 1, I wasn’t careful about the battery, regularly draining it fully and then charging it to 100% (and leaving it on the charger for extended periods) and after 18 months, I was already looking into getting the battery replaced due to greatly reduced capacity.

At a friend’s suggestion, I installed Accubattery which alerts me whenever the battery is about to go outside the 20-80% window. I almost always unplug from the charger when I get to 80%. That second battery on the Pixel 1 kept most of its capacity for 4 years. Now my mom has that phone, with the same battery, and even though the capacity went down a bit since, it’s more than enough for her needs still.

You’re trying to apply objectivity to a very subjective area. I’m not saying it’s impossible, and you should by all means try it, but maybe it would be a good idea to try something that has a better chance, first, such as this:

How about an open platform for scientific review and tracking? Like, whenever a new discovery or advance is announced, that site would cut through the hype, report on peer review, feasibility, flaws in methodology, the ways in which it’s practical and impractical, how close we are to actual usage (state of clinical trials, demonstrated practical applications, etc.)

And it would keep being updated, somewhat like Wikipedia, as more research occurs. It needs a more robust system of review to avoid the problems that Wikipedia has, and I don’t have the solution for that, but I believe there’s got to be a way to do it that’s resistant to manipulation.

The grapes used to make the juice you buy at the store are not the same grapes that are used to make actual wine. The person who wrote that recipe doesn’t know what wine should taste like, and I wouldn’t trust that recipe.

The grape juice you buy for drinking is mainly made from Concord grapes, which won’t make something that tastes in any way like real wine. You need grapes like Cabernet or Pinot Noir (for example). These aren’t just the names of wines, they’re the names of the varieties of grapes used.

Have you tried photopea.com ? I dunno if it’s light enough for you, but it’s basically Photoshop in your browser, done in JavaScript.

Nimoy was a very funny guy! Great comedy instincts! You get another tiny glimpse of it with Spock’s line “I’ve been dead before” in ST:VI. It’s almost a throwaway, and said without emotion, but it’s pretty funny!

Some good examples here. I’d just mention a few other memorable dialogue scenes:

• all the scenes of McCoy with Spock’s Katra in ST:III, including lines like “Yes, Genesis! How can you be deaf with ears like that?” and “Where’s the logic in offering me a ride home, you idiot? If I wanted a ride home, would I be trying to charter a space flight?”
• in Star Trek IV, the scene with Kirk and Spock in Gillian’s pickup, with Nimoy doing his best Gracie Allen impression. Also, the “No dipshit” bit in the restaurant.
