What!? 45 degrees is three times the angle 15 degrees will ever be!

Historically, the government has gotten a lot of use out of highly brainwashed religious folk when promoting various evils.

I’ve got some magnetic bracelets that remove all SS7 toxins from your body. DM me if you’re interested. $50 is nothing compared to peace of mind from state-of-the-art tech.

The emphasis is supposed to be placed on “liberals,” as in, “Pshhht…wait until you see the racism I can do, mom.”

Now you understand why God has to give all those kids cancer. Do you want even more people to starve?

lol!

You guys didn’t get a beforelife?

I’ve been using the Swiss Cheese Model for my sandwiches and they’ve been a disaster.

Thanks! I got hired at a pretty big university (better than the one I attended for sure) to do documentation (and hopefully, increasingly data) work in their advancement department. Kind of random and the pay could definitely be better, but I’m generally pretty happy with the environment. Nice to not be supporting abject evil. First actual work-from-home job without feeling a suspicious eye on me at all times. Trying to make use of the free certification courses they offer and am halfway through CompTIA Data+. Nice break from the Uber/Lyft grind for awhile, anyway.

I don’t have a specific figure for you. My use-case is I’m trying to write a non-fiction book. I’ve got a ton of old newspaper articles in PDF format. The Library of Congress’ built-in OCR is very helpful, but very lacking and, in some cases, can miss large swaths of pages or generate really unhelpful gibberish that requires painful cleaning. I’ve had similar results from every other OCR tool I’ve tried.

Thus far, in using Claude/ChatGPT for transcription of a few dozen articles, I’ve only had to fix one individual stray word a few times. It’s been very close to perfect in my limited testing. High 90%. Impressively, with old newspaper articles where words have worn away or are otherwise very hard to make out even for me, it has done a great job of inferring/recognizing, where OCR would start generating gibberish. I haven’t tried hand-writing and suspect that’s a different beast, but I know there are tools that have cropped up to that end.

My first day at my new job a month ago, we all loaded onto a bus and took a guided tour of campus. Had lunch at the cafeteria, stopped for ice cream. It really felt like a field trip.

This has been an immensely helpful feature of both Claude AI and ChatGPT. I have tons and tons of historic sources and suddenly, I’m not fighting with non-working OCR options. It’s pretty great.

It took a long time, but one day, the term “human capital” finally clicked in my head and I couldn’t stop mulling it over until I realized how insanely fucked up it is. What are the humans? Capital. What is the capital? Humans. Human. Capital. And we’re so blase about it.

Buncha pussies like Bezos and Zuckerberg could never take out someone as rich and powerful as Elon.

Buncha pussies like Larry Ellison and Warren Buffet could never take out someone as rich and powerful as Bezos and Zuck.

And so on. Problem solved.

Curb Your Enthusiasm convinced me Seinfeld was like 95% Jerry riding Larry David’s coattails. Jerry is so rarely funny to supposedly be “the guy.”

My Abeka Book history book says God destined America to succeed, so I think you guys might be overreacting.

What does the goat se? Ring-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding…

Same, it’s like the original Star Wars trilogy. I still know everything that happens, somehow, despite never seeing it.

And they’re numb as all get out.
