Maybe the onus should be on LLM developers to filter out trash like this from their training datasets
At any rate, it’s extremely unhelpful to not include a version number at the very very least

Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Red Flag Warning? Neighbor Has FireEnglish2·4 months agoI could be wrong, but they likely asked because vinyl/PVC is generally toxic to the environment so it was probably a means of asking whether your neighbor replaced the foliage in their yard with a fixture that poisons the ground. I wouldn’t be surprised if the strips in the chain link were vinyl, as that’s a pretty common outdoor filler material.
Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Red Flag Warning? Neighbor Has FireEnglish6·4 months agoI’m not the person you replied to, but pretty sure the question was whether the neighbor in your story replaced their hedge with a vinyl fence specifically.
I guess you could consider someone who is staunchly whitehat with no exceptions to have a creed/code, where they consider the rules transcendent of any specific situation (e.g. nazi websites).
Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•I’m a Federal Worker. You Have No Idea the Irreversible Damage Elon Musk Is Doing.3·5 months agoDeliberately sabotaging your job as a government worker (assuming you’re not working in a military industrial complex or enforcement job) plays directly into the right’s framing of government as inefficient. It’s important that public-facing positions be competent to foster public trust; after all, those positions are what conservatives dismantle first as pretext to abolish an agency. After public discontent sets in through first-hand experience dealing with understaffing, those public services become ripe for privatization.
Well, no.
In scenario A they are instantly vaporized. In scenario B they are brutally sliced into multiple pieces and crushed to death, rather painfully depending on the speed of the trolley.
You are on track A and the bomb is within sight. If you get the shit end of the 50/50, everyone in the diagram would be vaporized instantly

Ashelyn@lemmy.blahaj.zoneto Do It Yourself@beehaw.org•Replacing cooktop. is a 2cm difference in cutout a big deal?4·6 months agoYou might not even need them, it’s more just an option if the unit wiggles around too much for your liking after dropping it in.
Definitely don’t use screws or nails! Glue should be fine but you might need a method to hold them in place while it dries. Masking tape would probably do the job just fine; in fact, you could probably skip the glue and just tape the blocks into the gap from underneath the countertop. The latter case would definitely require careful inspection of the cooktop to make sure you’re not covering up anything important.
The idea with the blocks/shims isn’t to hold up the cooktop structurally, just to keep it from sliding side to side (and only if you need them, it might be perfectly fine without). The weight should still be primarily on the granite itself in all cases.
They don’t even have to be blue! You can have useless ticks in many different colors!
