A lot of what he says is too obvious, but this one actually got me to think. Like oh yeah, sand dampens force and vibrations, it’s what sandbags are typically meant for; and yeah, a giant worm probably would have to move like a desert snake to get anywhere in sand.

The annoying thing is conspiracy just means a multiple people orchestrating crimes together, conspiring with each other.

But the word conspiracy also means a fake conspiracy, which is a real “inflammable means flammable” type situation.

I’ve often heard that the delegitamizing of the idea of conspiracies is itself a conspiracy to get people to think conspiracies don’t happen, which I fully believe.

Don’t misrepresent the situation, Elmo is a muppet not a puppet!

Guys I think the jokes supposed to be that our brains autocorrected it to say “23 mil” similar to the real number. But it actually says just 23 dollars which would be silly.

She’s a princess from what I know.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out!

This is a good showcase on why, even if you win, gambling will still drain you. There’s plenty of stories of people who hit the jackpot immediately wasting it all hoping for a second jackpot.

I accidentally hit send on an incomplete thought, ignore this comment.

I’m not sure what you mean, I don’t think I’ve seen a single isekai protag try to go back to Earth unless you count the “trapped in VR” ones.

I’m always a little disappointed by how quickly the regular world becomes irrelevant in the story. The intrigue is from how a person from a modern nonmagical culture interacts with a medieval magical culture.

But from the isekais I’ve seen, I’d say you could replace half of them with a person with amnesia and nothing would change.

I’m assuming they are a trans girl, so the mom saying she needs “a man’s help” was misgendering her. OP basically affirmed that because they are not a man they cannot help and gave back the jar unopened. Given the pettyness one can assume that the mom misgendering OP is a frequent occurrence.

The data has more direct consequences when it comes to machine learning algorithms to keep you on the website and funnel you into a personalized echo chamber.

The epitome of this is TikTok, it’s algorithm was the only thing that set it apart from other short video apps. Youtube is a video host with an integrated recommendation algorithm, Tiktok is a recommendation algorithm with integrated video hosting.

The other replies are close but not quite. This is an elementary cellular automaton, the simplest form of cellular automaton. For every pixel in the last layer, it determines if the pixel in the next layer should be 0(white) or 1(black) based on the last layer’s pixel and it’s neighbors.

The game of life is also a cellular automaton but it’s 2 dimensional, elementary cellular automaton are 1 dimensional resulting in a maximum of 256 variations called “rules”. The rules are represented by 8 binary digits which also represent a number between 0 and 255.

What you see here is rule 00100010, or in other words rule 34.

Fundamentally due to it’s design, LLMs are digital duct tape.

The entire history of computer science has been making compromises between efficient machine code and human readable language. LLM’s solve this in a beautifully janky way, like duct tape.

But it’s ultimately still a compromise, you’ll never get machine accuracy from an LLM because it’s sole purpose is to fulfill the “human readable” part of that deal. So it’s applications are revolutionary in the same way as “how did you put together this car engine with only duct tape?” kind of way.

I work at a school and I received training that explicitly told us zero tolerance does not work, made me do a double take. So in at least the northern states things are changing for the better.

America: “Oh, what did I do to deserve this!? I mean what specifically?”

Just leave a bunch of elements in a warm soup for billions of years and somehow you get these structures. Each piece of this picture popped up randomly at some point but for one reason or another didn’t dissolve or stagnate like most random structures would.

I suggest everyone research Friston’s Free Energy Principle then you’ll see a common thread between most human irrationality.

Basically the whole brain even down to individual neurons view updating predictive beliefs as energy intensive and it’s life mission is to reduce that energy.

This leaves a few strategies:

1: Create a simple and sophisticated enough mental framework that will turn out right in most cases. “What goes up must go down” is a useful belief that is rarely contradicted.

2: Change the world to align with your beliefs. “Humanity is meant to care for nature” then you save an animal to prove your belief.

3: Create an unfalsifiable belief. “God has a plan” well no one can disprove this so this belief never needs updating.

or 4: Shelter yourself from evidence through isolation, exlusive communities, habitual lying, ect. “Immigrants are ruining the economy” well if you lead a life that rarely engages with immigrants like humans then you can count the rare instances as exceptions to the rule and never update this belief.

I’m sure there are more but the Free Energy Principle explains a lot of behavior. Like why do people get addicted to games of chance? Because they know winning is possible and they want to predict it, but you can’t predict true randomness so the free energy cannot be reduced. Also why we cling to anything that gives the illusion of reducing uncertainty, like a gambler “having a system” or a football fan having lucky charms.

Maybe this is a Sodium (explosive) + Chlorine (corrosive) = salt (delicious) type of situation?

Multiple choice powerpoints but it’s competitive based on who submits the correct answer fastest typically played at school hosted by the teacher. Under a certain age basically all of us have done a Kahoot.

I don’t know if VScode Copilot defines MCP differently but it’s more about giving the llm api access to do things. Like letting the llm make github git commits for example.
