Phallic symbolism was common in many religions. The Abrahamic religions are kind of unusual for their hangups in that regard.

College students have basically stopped drinking. I had a recent Berkeley college grad tell me no one drinks at Berkeley anymore because they're afraid it will affect their cognition. Things are just so competitive that having fun in college is a complete afterthought. It's constantly chasing grades, internships, side projects, networking, job interviews etc.

Because that "vibe coders" didn't know and go through the fundamentals, thus they're wasting tokens with probably continuing the AI hallucination suggestions.

I've seen bunch of persons like this and that's kinda stupid because they're just blindly following AI's "suggestions" while they actually don't know what they're doing, then results on terrible code and architecture with "if it works, it works" mentality.


Canada actually has quite a lot of domestic production across the country. BC and Ontario are the main producers and have many wineries.

This wasn't done with strikes, but with (remote controlled) bulldozers. https://idfclub.org/remote-controlled-warfare-how-israels-ro...

Yes, technically, guessing a url is impossible. But browser histories are trivially accessible to sketchy actors.

That’s Bahkmut which is still close to the frontline. They were talking about Mariupol which the Russians have actually rebuilt already, see here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mariupol,+Donetsk+Oblast,+...

I'm taking an onboarding process for an Ai company helping other (much) bigger Ai companies and the amount of vibecoded platforms and documentation is staggering. Like, training process so broken that the platform just doesn't load sometimes, things that have never even been tried are published and you have to use them and they suck so much because it is apparent that no human ever touched that and probably wouldn't want to

What happened to all leather jacket boys from Google? They were setting the trend in SRE, heh.

See this 2016 article for cultural background: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/adventures-in-sre...


HR is a powerful organization for a reason. Companies everywhere operate in a legal environment, and 90% of what HR does is keep the company from getting sued.

They don't want to completely destroy Gaza. In the aftermath, they would be held accountable for destroying Gaza, plus they'd have no guinea pigs for the surveillance and military tech. All the big Israeli surveillance firms test their products on Gaza first, it's the most surveilled place in the world.

But they also don't want it to get too big or powerful. Israel calls it "mowing the lawn"[1]. You want to have grass on the lawn, but not too much, so you periodically cut off the excess grass.

Indeed the terrorists did win, as we can see from these images.

The most nefarious behavior I've seen is when the mods shadowban every argument they disagree with that has positive upvotes but leave arguments they disagree with that has negative upvotes to give the impression that everyone on the opposing side is stupid.

Every model I just tried in here gave me very nonsensical hallucinations, or immediately fell into a loop. Not the best examples of what Petite GPTs (as one is called) can do, I hope.

But the approach should work with all of those ~2000s simple 2D/light 3D Windows games, like Anno, C&C etc. that have less than 1GB of assets and no serious multithreading. Newer ones probably won't fit into a browser tab anymore or would take too long to load.

The biggest problem for the smartphone browser version is extensive use of left+right mouse input of that era which is naturally not a good fit for touchscreens.


Average person drinks 9 litres of alcohol per year factoid actualy just statistical error. average person drinks 3 litres per year. Wendt Georg aka "Norm", who spends the majority of his life in a bar in Boston is an outlier adn should not have been counted

It's just like 1996!

In the academic definition of AI (which includes things like pathfinding with A* or Djikstra's algorithm) autopilots are definitely AI.

The popular definition of AI seems to shift every couple of years to follow hype cycles. Chess computers used to be AI (and fit your definition), now they are not. Not sure if Resnet is still AI today, or if autopilots still qualify


Yes, I would still say that. Cultures naturally have a lifecycle which yes, does include dying.

Switzerland has a strong startup scene. The country also ranks first in the global innovation index.

Alcohol is a terrible drug. IMO it is a great thing that drinking at work is so frowned upon that it is basically verboten.

In a story explaining California wine growers pain, be aware that 98% of California wine is consumed in the US. Exports are negligible.

This is like when a story about housing costs was posted and the Canadians chimed in that the US housing woes are due to not having access to Canadian lumber, and the board had to explain to him that that 80% of lumber used in US production is sourced domestically.


Are you an LLM?

This is an incredibly disingenuous and specious argument.

The discussion is about US wine production and consumption. You present the aggregate total vale of all US exports in US dollars to 6 significant digits. Does the variance of the volume of wine exports in litres even show up in those 6 signifcant digits?

Consider: (1) is six significant digits of precision justified, or is it insignificant accurancy? (2) Do those aggregate numbers take into account inflation? (3) Do those aggregate numbers take into account the (not insignificant) devaluation of the US dollar? (4) Do those aggregate numbers include both goods and services?

No, if you were to make an honest argument by quoting US exports, you need to limit it to the volume of US wine exports in litres. Misdirection can be a great tool of propaganda but is not a useful contribution to interesting intellectual discourse.


Hanlon's Razor given that these tools are almost certainly vibe coded at this point?

Genuinely asking: If you don’t share the UUID-based URL yourself, what makes it not privacy-friendly?

It’s not like someone’s gonna guess that URL… right?


Muslims also, as a generalization, have richer regular socialization opportunities via religion.

If the bar was the primary Western common area ("Where everybody knows your name..."), then its disuse leaves nothing to replace it.


I had that moment while puking up my nth beer, wtf was I paying all that money for this?!

AI companies rushing an implementation? Surely not :).

Where are you getting this numbers from, I am unable to find anything close to 1000 rockets throughout 2023? In May between 1000 and 2000 shells and rockets were fired in response to the Israelian operation Shield and Arrow resulting in two deaths and ten injuries.
