Similarly, people who speak and read chinese struggle to read entire sentences written in pinyin.

Because pinyin was implemented by the Russians to teach Chinese to people who use Cyrillic characters. Would make as much sense to call out people who can’t use Katakana.

This seems like an ongoing conversation. Like, I half expect the response to be something on the spectrum of “turnabout is fair play” and “he’d paid the deposit in full and it would have been rude otherwise”.

glances at the current state of the Internet

Uh… are you sure?

why humans can’t produce the IPA spelling words they can say, /nɔr kæn ðeɪ ˈizəli rid θɪŋz ˈrɪtən ˈpjʊrli ɪn aɪ pi ˈeɪ/ despite the fact that it should be simple to – they understand the sounds after all

That’s just access to the right keyboard interface. Humans can and do produce those spellings with additional effort or advanced tool sets.

humans must be fundamentally stupid because of this one curious artifact.

Humans turns oatmeal into essays via a curios lump of muscle is an impressive enough trick on its face.

LLMs have 95% of the work of human intelligence handled for them and still stumble on the last bits.

Yes.

It’s Politico. I’m surprised they didn’t go full passive voice and write the headline from the point of view of the handcuffs.

I wonder if Democrats will learn something from this, or if Schumer will demand Padilla apologize before next week.

They are simultaneously not real and done by leftists.

The joke in all this.

The penalty for offering a job illegally is a slap on the wrist. The penalty for accepting a job illegally is imprisonment, torture, transport, and possible death.

Almost as though the fixation on “crime” is a distraction and the cruelty is the point.

I guess I’m a highly sophosticated Palantir bot account trying to trick you into interacting with me.

The protesters are too extreme. This is just what Trump wants. By provoking a police response, they are going to hurt their entire project.

They should behave more like… checks notes school shooters?

Nothing is wrong, it’s just more incomplete than a modern book.

But if you’re at the 101 level, sure. It works fine.

if you don’t stop upvoting memes and stupid subs

Who says “we’re” up voting it? Nobody questions where the upvotes for “PuppyOfTheDay” come from? Once you concede the algorithm is rigged, it’s silly to blame the humans for what’s on your feed.

The wholesale takeover of the site by /r/The_Donald posters gaming the algorithm back in 2016 is entirely down the memory hole.

Nobody who still uses the site wants to believe they’re being hoodwinked again.

Every president since Gitmo opened has been operating under suspended habeus corpus.

It’s actually a 36 line proof, so this question is wrong and you score a 50 on the test.

The number of hypotheses we’ve proven, mostly. Also, we have this whole field of non-Euclidean geometry. And the modern Pythagoreans are a lot more chill about people knowing the irrationality of Pi.

You, a loser Christian, reading from a 2000 year old book of morality fables.

Me, a sophisticated Scientologist, reading from a 70 year old Sci-Fi/fad health trilogy.

Part of the Trump brand is “Fuck you, I’ve got mine” which isn’t condusive to international coalitions.

Hell, just look at the Ukraine/Russia conflict. As soon as Trump got Zelensky to sign a bunch of Western Ukrainian real estate over to his cronies, he unleashed a large traunch of weapons to fuck over Putin. As soon as he got another Perfect Phone Call from Xi, and secured some unspecified promise, the Chinese tariffs evaporated.

My man stands for nothing that won’t fit into his pocket.
