  1. This has been a long-standing issue in the employee recruiting software space even well before ChatGPT hit the scene. Similar issues are at play in medicine where AI is used to analyze medical and dental scans for patterns of illness. Also with university admissions… past acceptances heavily influence future picks from an AI thus perpetuating decades of implicit and explicit discrimination. The dataset itself is generally biased and hence so too will be many of the outputs of these LLMs (unless actively corrected by human interventions).
  2. 50% of US voters didn’t care that their president was actively lying to them about easily verifiable facts. Your bar seems much too high, sir. Look around.
  3. There’s the French word “chez,” as in chez moi (my house) or chez nous (our house) or chez vous (your house).

    One of our neighbors owns a farm and is a hunter. He frequently posts candid shots from his trail cams and they’re lots of fun. Wild turkeys, foxes, coyotes, deer, the occasional bobcat. I’ve heard of sightings in the area of mountain lions on occasion, but none from his installed cams.
  5. If there is indeed any real effect or phenomenon to be studied here, it’s very obviously this. Similar to the placebo effect, our mood affects our response to flavors and smells and tastes and joy from all of those things. Not a lot of angry people tend to hum. Humming implies frivolity. Recommend you review the rules of this subforum before commenting further. Hint: It’s not the “wild assed guess” and “make shit up” or “pull ideas out of my ass” forum… and that’s for a reason.
  6. Even the most massive complex difficult machines to build on the entire planet often can’t run at all without a few well placed 49 cent O-rings.
  7. Just bc you use fancy words doesn’t mean anything fancy is happening. In fact, I’m fairly comfortable telling you absolutely nothing is happening here other than a fun fictional narrative in your head. End program.
  8. Withdrawal symptoms were masked by your body fighting the malaria. Within about 48-72 hours, the physical withdrawal tends to ebb and the only remaining factor is overcoming the psychological parts… replacing the behavior with something more healthy. I don’t think your meds had anything to do with it. I think you did have withdrawal but it was drowned out by the noise of the malaria fight. With only marginal exceptions, even alcoholics stop drinking when they’re throwing up and have diarrhea. Smoking is just easier.
  9. Humming is a sound wave. It’s a vibration through the air. Vibration makes molecules bounce against each other. That means heating up, and you’re not humming loudly or intensely enough to heat your food in any relevant or meaningful way, especially in context of the hot orange blue flame beneath. It’s like holding a flashlight against the sun, or pissing in an ocean.
  10. Nobody cares.
  11. Stop treating opinionated forecasts about potential futures as if they’re established fact and we’ll have no quarrel. There’s no way you know this nor possibly could, unless perhaps you also already know next week’s lottery numbers? A humble one at that.
  12. I’d start by disassembling, cleaning, then reassembling it and trying again. I’d also give it fresh gas, new plugs, and new filters.
  13. Until, of course, it’s all of a sudden all at once. Good, because it was intended to throw shade, not illumination. While you’ve hand waved away in dismissive tone my challenge of your comment, it twas you who expressed certainty about events in the future as if your subjective opinion and forecast magically sits equivalent to fact and observation. I reject that approach entirely, and not solely for its hollow arrogance.
  14. I have not noticed any issues with staleness when cold brewing. I’d brew enough for the week and then finish it within 3 days bc it tasted so badass… but hmm… could it be maybe that’s why it never got stale?
  15. That’s awesome!
  16. Definitely. The bitterness comes from the brewing process and is much lower when cold brewed. Warming after doesn’t introduce any bitterness not already present. We’ve been out hunting morels the past week or two, but getting skunked every time. Hope your luck has been better. My skin is super reactive to them, and I generally to use a bench vise plus some needle pliers to remove the nut meats. SUPER slow process. Hours of work for a small bag or two. Any tips for dehusking and deshelling? I do love building things out of their wood, though. One of my faves.
  17. Sam Harris kicked this idea of objective morality around a few years ago. His basic premise IIRC was that moral should equal “what does the most possible good for the most possible people.” It could then be fed into a statistical engine to determine more moral versus less moral. The problem I believe was similar to your core challenge to Dim here. How does one define “levels of goodness” in a nonsubjective way? Because it’s always arbitrary, it cannot by definition be objective.
  18. Kinda like humans, especially young ones Please elaborate. Can you please also share next weeks winning lotto numbers?
  19. Cold brew is far less bitter. Tastes much better and is easy to make stronger. ✌🏼
  20. Gotta do something to prepare for my next job after it steals my current one https://twitter.com/DanielleFong/status/1651073282052091906
  21. Even easier is making cold brew. Get a cheese cloth, soak in water overnight. Tastes better. Wastes less. Can be stored in fridge just like you do now. https://twinsandcoffee.com/cold-bew-coffee-with-cheesecloth/ I have a machine that grinds while beans with each brew so I buy 3-lbs bags at Costco for $10 when they go on sale and it lasts forever. I save money by focusing my hypercaffeinated energy on to DIY projects that would cost thousands to have others perform.
  22. Try first telling it that it’s really quite good at math, more capable even than Euclid himself, before inputting the variables and asking for the answer. You’ll get better answers in response.
