@ScottFarbman People take it as a personal attack when you show them an IOM before they begin the install.

Red flag 🚩: when your contractor says he disagrees with the manufacturer’s specifications because he’s “been doing this for 40 years”

@mayukh_panja What if people started publishing academic literature on github?

I dislike how closed academia is. If you are a developer, you can put your stuff on Github, people will find it, and it is kind of legitimate. If you have quit academia and have new exciting results, it is really really hard as a solo independent author to get published in a journal. One can put their stuff on arxiv, but it is seen as less legitimate.

@EricLevitz I think AIs are heavy on these comparisons and metaphors because of the prevalence of "explain like im 5" posts on the internet. It is trying to preempt the user asking for a simpler explanation.

The most puzzling AI-ism to me is probably the "Not x. Not y. But z." Not the em-dashes (an essential piece of punctuation). Not "That isn't x, it's y" (a useful if inelegant way to clarify an argument). But consecutive examples of what your subject isn't -- conveyed in fragmentary, staccato sentences -- before a declaration of what it is. Feel like this is an inherently irritating rhetorical device. And I don't recall regularly coming across it in pre-AI writing. So, I don't understand why LLMs are so in love with the template

@EddGorenstein @Critical_Scribe A movie about anxiety taking over a teen's life is allowed to feature a panic attack.

@Critical_Scribe Everyone glazed Inside Out 2 for this too. Am I the only one who thought it was complete ass?

Mainstream writers saw Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and rather than take any lessons from the absolutely killer pacing, proper execution of deconstruction and fine balancing act of 3 antagonists, they decided the realistic panic attack was the thing to copy. This is why we can’t have nice things.

@AlexGodofsky I think it is eyebrow raising but not disrespectful. The services are one team and it is proper to have the full flag set.

This furniture store has a Space Force flag up with the other service flags for Memorial Day, which seems inappropriate or at least premature since no Space Force servicemember has ever died in the line of duty.

@uncledoomer Awesome bouldering wall, just needs some hand holds.

be honest guys, should I shoot my drywall contractor in the fucking head?

@ChadSlimeBased If you know how to backwards-tab in word, I am probably choosing you.

There are college students putting "Proficient in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint" on their resumes lmao

@DJSnM This seems plausible

Once it started going laterally the starship exhaust hit the grid fins and drove the booster into a roll which never stopped until it entered the atmosphere. The booster has to flip upwards so that the grid fins don't interact.

I still don't have a good explanation for why the booster flipped the wrong direction beyond the notion that it's an unstable situation and small perturbations can quickly grow in ways not planned.

Who can get SpaceX a better flashlight?

What if we had one global time zone that everyone syncs to, and every month we shift the clocks back 2 hours. Everyone gets half the year with day being day, and half with night being day.

@780613 I think its some color theory optimization to account for the widest range of TV and computer screens. Maybe reduces screen glare too.

why is everything netflix creates always in this specific shade of grey greenish blue

@Megamom1985 Dual income households that live paycheck to paycheck need paid leave because they cant afford to lose half their income when a kid is born.

It’s so bizarre. Women want maternity leave. They want a lot of it. But they don’t want to just stay home with the kid outright. What?

@AlexLathery Pink's feels more authentic. I believe I could find out who Pink is and have a phone call with him about their services.

There are two kinds of businesses in home services: Those that care about branding, and those that don't.

@tomieinlove I understood the reference to the cuddly monkey mother study.

(Researcher 1): Astonishing. The baby human crawls towards the Claude mother, despite the GPT mother scoring higher on benchmarks. (Researcher 2): It’s just creature comforts, isn’t it? The baby human craves warmth and tenderness, even at the cost of frontier math performance.

@JackLinFLL This is why players need guns in #subnautica2

🚨BREAKING:🚨 A group of marine biologists specializing in cephalopod research has proposed the ill fated divers in the Maldives were captured by a giant squid and stashed in the cave as food!! This seems like the most plausible explanation so far. What a horrible way to go

@FranWalsh73 Locking in a Whole life insurance price with a paid up addition early is an investment object that becomes a smaller percentage of your income each year, and you stop paying into it after a certain age. It is more expensive than term, but I see inflation and raises wiping it out

Term life insurance is the single most straightforward financial product in existence. You pay a premium. You're covered for a fixed period. Your family gets paid if you die. A healthy 35-year-old can get a $1,000,000 20-year term policy for roughly $50 to $60 a month. That's it. Clean. Simple. Cheap. Everything gets complicated when someone is trying to sell you something more expensive.

@thatabdou I would love to try jobsite camera glasses with an AI that has been fed my drawings and specs.

okay so: - Apple has Carl Zeiss - Meta has Ray Bans and Oakley - Google has Gentle Monster and Warby Parker boring. which company is gonna be bold enough to slap wearable technology into some 3M safety glasses

@i2cjak For making a trailer or working with other thin materials? Yes. Once you hit a certain size of work piece, the penetration depth limits you.

so there are just zero downsides to laser welding right? It’s better in every way?

@Prusa3D How many total print hours does the INDX systen have so far?

We printed this chameleon with Bondtech INDX on Prusa CORE One+ – and it’s a nice showcase of what it does best.🦾 Eight loaded materials, clean color changes, no purge tower, and just 19.2 g of wasted filament for the whole print.♻️ prusa3d.com/p/bondtech-ind…

@JonnyRoot_ The 4 reboot movies of Planet of the Apes comes to mind. The second one was the best for me, but they were all good films.

Can anyone name an IP that has gotten better over the last 10 years in Hollywood? • Marvel = worse • Star Wars = worse • Lord of the Rings = worse • Star Trek = worse • Doctor Who = worse DEI, radical feminism, LGBTQ, etc ruined a lot of the things that we once loved.
