False. In many industries workers also drink before and during work.

How right, I should limit my neurotic nitpicking to appropriate spaces.

They seem like cheap plated metal, any alterations are going to wind up flaking and looking terrible

Eclipses do not have a semicircular phase. It’s wrong as lunar phases, and it’s wrong as an ecliptic transit.

Considering that semi-circles are not part of an eclipse, no.

Different colors? They’re all monochrome gold, if it looks like different colors that’s just reflections from light in the room

I’m not sure I understand. Like put them in the lathe and smooth the points out?

Coworker found him on the sex offender registry for messages with some woman trying to arrange a sexual meetup with her daughter. Not even a statutory teenager situation, an actual child. Apparently he had some connections with law enforcement which kept him out of jail.

Everyone already hated him for general creepiness and being terrible at his job, so there was a degree of vindication in confirming how horrible of a person he was. Still super fucked up.

This is correct. Oncw you get to the top you can use the stem as a little handle too.

4, at minimum

This is where I think capitalism might actually work by virtue of its own perversions. As the conscientious progressives abandon him, he’s going to have to shill even harder to conservatives to try to tap into that market. If some asshole can get MAGAs to buy into renewables, I’m just going to sit back and let it happen.

I’d rather be pissed off than pissed on

If you can’t do something about a problem, worrying just gives you another problem. If you can do something about it, don’t waste energy worrying about it, just do the thing

Is she, or her family, Muslim French-Caribbean? Many locales in the Caribbean were historically controlled by the French for some time. Many Caribbeans moved to the US, and many would have settled into, broadly, black communities. Many black people in the US converted to Islam.

If she fits this description, it’s perfectly reasonable that she has spent much of her life talking to people with American, French, Caribbean, and Arabic accents. It’s also possible that she consumes media where speakers have those accents. As elsewhere noted, we tend to mimic accents somewhat, especially with consistent exposure.

It’s perfectly reasonable that, shortly after spending some time around a certain accent, or while discussing a topic predominantly discussed with those of a certain accent, she may slip into one herself.

It was a giant hostage situation, to force papers to publish his manifesto so people would read it. That’s definitely a discernible purpose. Not a justified purpose, but certainly discernible.

You haven’t really looked into multi-agent setups at all, have you? Basically any system of multiple agents can double-check themselves.

Additionally, none of this conflicts with my original point. If you train a human on bad data, they’ll GIGO too. I know plenty of humans who have confidently told me objectively false things because they had bad training data.

LLMs are AI. They are not AGI. AGI is a particular subset of AI, that does not preclude non-general AI from being AI.

People keep talking about how it just regurgitates information, and says incorrect things sometimes, and hallucinates or misinterprets things, as if humans do not also do those things. Most people just regurgitate information they found online, true or false. People frequently hallucinate things they think are true and stubbornly refuse to change when called out. Many people cannot understand when and why they’re wrong.

Comic Sans is better than other sans serif options because letters like b, p, d, and q are more rotationally distinct

It’s apparently pretty dyslexic-friendly
