am i the only person who still hears plasma screen tv and thinks "this is as good as it gets" like they haven't been out of production for nearly a decade

@TrueSlazac when the next token predictor predicts the next token

this is actually a common issue with AI translators for some reason

@sporadica you get 7 more

i shit you not, the most ideal solution to this is probably keeping India and China as is, then make literally all the rest of the world apart of the United States of America

@Xaniken already I thing. install a CB radio

They should add proximity chat to traffic

@capybaroness it's obviously pumping out now that I look more closely but I've always thought it was pumping in

do you interpret this image as pepsi being pumped into or pumped out of the pig? secondarily, do you interpret the process as helping or harming the pig? poll in reply

@andyhatesyou THANK YOU! finally someone said something. gonna be sharing ts post with everyone

STOP SAYING “TS” AS A REPLACEMENT FOR “THIS” YOU SOUND FUCKING STUPID

@davepl1968 I'm gonna put a PC in our living room with free access for my kids with no gui and see what happens

I taught the elementary kids' computer lab at the local elementary school for about ten years. By about fourth grade, the kids vary widely in PC ability. You'll have one kid porting Doom and one kid crying because CAPS LOCK is on and he can't log in. One kid trying to eat toner while another fixes the projector. A lot of that is comfort - you can tell some kids use a PC at home a great deal while others have seemingly no exposure. Does it matter? No idea! I understand limiting screen time and so on, but sometimes kids who genuinely have a knack for it are being held back by good intentions! When I sold my company, we donated all the extra PCs and monitors to the school... a couple of dozen Dell Dimension 4200s and so on. Absolutely required for any mid-2000s computer lab!

@TerryCarlsonII @bryanrbeal def can see it dropping by 2k if that was the first and only damage it had. it loses the "accident free" badge if you have any damage reported

@bryanrbeal I call BS on a replaced windshield dropping the value by $2K. Everybody gets windshields replaced. Not reporting to Carfax is what scammers do.

If your car gets damaged, tell the repair shop you do not consent to the repair being disclosed to Carfax It’s not like Carfax is your FBI file that you have no control over. This is a private company collecting and selling data on YOUR car, and it always works against you. Tell them you don’t consent. I replaced my windshield from a rock that cracked it and they reported it to Carfax and then my trade in value dropped by $2000 because the car had “damage reported to Carfax” But I also learned you can demand they not report and if they refuse you can go elsewhere

@BlvckJxsus fr. like where do I sign???

$1,500 for a 2 bed 2 bath place lowkey kinda crazy dawg lol.

@JinJung @nikitabier you don't have to use gasoline to care about the cost of it, whether that be for the second-order effects or the impact on others

@nikitabier Well looks like Nikita doesn’t drive Tesla 😏

If gas goes up another ten cents, I’m going to a No Kings Protest.

@kareem_carr yes but 5% of my day has been coding before so 5% of my day is reviewing Claude output now

I keep hearing that software engineers don’t write much code anymore and it’s mostly AI now. Can any software engineers confirm how true this is? Do you just drink coffee and watch Claude code all day now?

@notmyoldname @wesaketchak kids don't even do that anymore around here

there ain't nothing to do in Canada like let's go to Walmart or hang out in a parking lot bro let's go crazy and go to pizza pizza we can stand around this sidewalk and smoke idk bro let's go to the plaza

@rationalhumanis @martyrdison fr. 1-2 trips is the travel a lot

@martyrdison "need to travel a lot vs. fine with 1-2 trips a year" tell me you're a spoiled rich kid without telling me you're a spoiled rich kid

gaps in relationships: - restaurant gap (going out vs. staying in) - museum gap (do you want wander vs. sprint) - travel gap (need to travel a lot vs. fine with 1-2 trips a year) - money gap (spending heavily vs. stingy) - living gap (city vs. suburb vs. middle of nowhere) - ambition gap (highly driven vs. ok with career not being focal POV) - texting gap (heavy communicator vs. sporadic) - friend gap (big social group vs. 1-2 friends max)

@Mileage_impo Chrysler Town and- oh...

Name a car that is unpopular but reliable. Besides the Chrysler Town & Country.

@novasoupONLINE yes. because the image wasn't taken from a spacecraft. it was taken by a satellite and the green screen behind the earth is there to hide the other satellites to hide that the image is taken from low earth orbit. we don't have the technology to escape earth. IT'S FLAT!!!

what would a Green Screen even suggest here. that they took a photo of the Earth in front of a green screen and then edited Space in after the fact

this is why it's so hard to de-sloppify LLMs. this isn't corporations forcing garbage down our throat. slop is the outcome of ruthless optimization on what people like! netflix reality tv, Mr beast, RLHF, Marvel, etc are created via extremely data driven content optimization

@ratlimit it's one. the answer is one

@BlisterPearl passport? I'm not sure..

If they end birthright citizenship, how will any of us prove we're citizens when our birth certificates don't matter?

i love the days (and the cutting irony) where i can’t remember if i took my ADHD meds or not counted pills twice and i’m… kinda? sure i didn’t, so we’re gonna roll the dice and take one now prepare for potential TURBO DINO mode

@jesusfrydchrist @OmUy456 @xdncolonthree I was just answering your question. not giving any statement on the location

@meta_syntactic @OmUy456 @xdncolonthree On occasion ≠ entire parking lot filled with Alberta plates Common sense

@LinkofSunshine personally a huge fan of all the lab rats working through them so I don't have to

Peptides are so funny. We have tens of thousands of proteins that make your body do random things and we gotta sift though them to figure out which are the fun ones
