Also anti note taking propaganda apparently

Get a Nintendo console. Nintendo Games are absolutely a gateway drug. They’re high quality and generally very easy to get into.

It’s not just that the input data is crap. Mostly the issue is that an LLM is a glorified autocomplete. The core of the technology is making grammatically correct sentences. It has no concept of facts or logic. Any impression that it does is just an illusion borne of the word probabilities baked in.

LLMs are a remarkable example of brute-forcing a solution to a problem, but it’s this same brute force that makes me doubt it’ll ever reach the next level.

I preferred metaverse talk. All of it was obviously useless nonsense that would never go anywhere. It could be safely ignored and laughed at. Simple times.

In contrast, not ALL of AI is useless nonsense. It takes more brain power to think about.

Honestly even Imperial would help at this point. Clothing sizes, in general, are based on basically clouds and dreams and vary wildly by brand or even by model.

I just wish the world standardized. I don’t care how. As long as it’s standard.

It’s wild to me that people just buy the same shoe over and over. I’m not a fashionista by any stretch of the imagination; I just have one, maximum two, pair(s) of footwear per temperature slice, and I don’t even have any formal ones.

But even I would want something new, even if my old pair had served me well.

Feels vaguely threatening lol

Wasn’t it originally a huge public undertaking? It was my understanding that the rails and CN began their lives in public ownership before being privatized.

Did I misunderstand things?

Ugh. Why did we ever privatize rail. People would riot if we privatized the highway network, and yet…

I’m a woman and I was born in the 1990s. I do live in North America though.

The US are just a bad parody of themselves at this point.

I wanted some foreign goods to get more expensive. To end slavery, not to escalate a trade war!

I should have checked my vicinity for any stray monkey’s paws when I made that wish.

Remembering that show frustrates me. How did they start with such a hilarious premise and end up with a show that’s okay and not one milligram more?

Upscale it to 4K for no reason

I’m a front-end developer. I sometimes need to solve algebra problems. I’m pretty bad at it because I , but my knowledge that a problem is solvable by math comes in handy maybe once or twice a month. It’s just that on the few occasions that there’s algebra that I can’t figure out how to solve (maybe once a year), I may ask for help from a colleague.

Examples of cases where math comes in handy:

• Pythagoras when I need to figure out the x/y components of a diagonal distance
• Width/height calculations from a variety of parameters

In summary, as long as you know what math is capable of, you probably won’t have major issues. There will pretty much always be someone around to help with the math part if necessary.

As for calculus… I forgot all about the one calculus class I’ve taken and I’ve never suffered for it.

When people use “different” with a preposition other than “from”. (Different to, different than)

I know it’s not technically wrong, but it just feels so wrong.

Also, when people add a phantom R between two words. “I’m a big fan of cinema ‘r’ and video games.”

Both stem from me not being a native English speaker, I think.

That’s a small thing?

I live in Canada, where eggs need to be refrigerated, and yet I’ve never seen a fridge with an egg holder. I already have an egg holder. The box they came in.

That’s being unfair to the poor nihilists.
