The lack of pain-empathy in healthcare is mind-blowing. I’m a white man in an excellent position to be listened to, but when I had appendicitis last year getting people to understand that no, I am in crippling pain and I think it’s urgent was far to much hassle for someone in crippling pain. I can’t imagine what it’s like for women.

I can understand folk getting jaded eventually but I often get the feeling that many people start out not caring.

‘vampire smut’ is almost, but not quite redundant.

You probably don’t want to know the details of any science done before… What? the 90’s?

See the problem with this is that even if I write code with this font, I can’t force people to read it in this font.

Round Disc confirmed?

As if they consider women people.

I sometimes suspect that the push for decimalisation was in part to avoid having to teach computers the old system.

The shitheel isn’t satisfied with just the USA either. He is in the process of buying the pseudoparty Reform ltd. in the UK and is supporting AfD in Germany. I’m sure there are examples in other countries.

I’ve got a little list - I’ve got a little list

I wonder what the reaction would have been if it was a member of the ruling class that had been run down by this bandit.

More expected than impressive. They didn’t invent warped moral frameworks but they do buy from the market leader. The accusations aren’t to convince people to leave the other team, it’s to allow people to justify taking those actions themselves. Stochastic vote manipulation of you will.

Which just goes to show his lack of presidential authority. - magas (I expect.)

Can push California to 5 syllables if you really want to.

Retro is I find something you are just too young to have have experienced directly. It is your older brother’s cool. Yours is nostalgic; your parent’s, vintage.

Generally I find they are. Herbs are leaves, flowers and (herbaceous) stems, spices are other parts. A plant might provide both a herb and a spice, but they will typically be different parts of a plant.

Tea would be a herb.

Yeah, this is much the same kind of use. If you work on the assumption that it is just something that has read everything, and everything that has been written about everything you can find it’s utility. Folk want it to be some kind of fact genie, but the only facts it knows are what words go together, and it literally doesn’t know the difference between real and made up.

Isn’t the entire purpose of copilot that it shouldn’t need much in the way of training? I think the extent of it at my employer is “this is the one you use.”

I’ve tried it a few times, the only thing it seems remotely good for is when your recollection of a source is too fuzzy to form a traditional search query around. “What’s that book series I read in the early 2000s about kids who traveled to another world and the things they brought back from it just looked like junk.” Kind of questions.

Hey, you know that thing you use? What if it had a button on it that opened an AI prompt?

Well my mum says it’s a really smart idea from her special little innovator.

Unironically? Maybe not. But using something ironically is still using it.

You knew it was cursed knowledge when you clicked on it. Caveat Lemmor
