I get the humor in the irony, and it's a meme place, but never give an inch. A private school can do what they want, but public is owned by the people, and there cannot be discrimination with religious stances. So therefore, no side can be chosen, even in jest.

Not a fan of the theocracy that's been allowed to seep in over many decades being wrapped in falsities.

Understanding the variety of speech over a drive-thru speaker can be difficult for a human with experience in the job. I can't see the current level of voice recognition matching it, especially if it's using LLMs for processing of what it managed to detect. If I'm placing a food order I don't need a LLM hallucination to try and fill in blanks of what it didn't convert correctly to tokens or wasn't trained on.

Yes.

Don't worry, she won't bother taking that piece of shit.

If someone is taking a spot I'm going to default with the assumption that they need it for some reason. It's an honor code and you hope most using the spaces aren't abusing the privilege.

Thank goodness they put the sticker on the window. It would have damaged the door.

"Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman accused President Biden of being “willing to sacrifice the American auto industry and its workers in service of its radical green agenda."

I mean we could try and transition workers from a more negative industry type to a positive one...but that seems like a lot of work and less profitable, so never mind.

If I didn't call or show up a few times to my job I'd be fired. Different rules.

LLMs are just very complex and intricate mirrors of ourselves because they use our past ramblings to pull from for the best responses to a prompt. They only feel like they are intelligent because we can't see the inner workings like the IF/THEN statements of ELIZA, and yet many people still were convinced that was talking to them. Humans are wired to anthropomorphize, often to a fault.

I say that while also believing we may yet develop actual AGI of some sort, which will probably use LLMs as a database to pull from. And what is concerning is that even though LLMs are not "thinking" themselves, how we've dived head first ignoring the dangers of misuse and many flaws they have is telling on how we'll ignore avoiding problems in AI development, such as the misalignment problem that is basically been shelved by AI companies replaced by profits and being first.

HAL from 2001/2010 was a great lesson - it's not the AI...the humans were the monsters all along.

My uneducated gut feeling is that it's due to the ratio of water and how the water molecules interact with the acid. Other acids have similar curves (in that they aren't a smooth curve).

It's uncanny how any post about problems with HP always has the same solution in the comments. Brother.

In related news, learning what Audi is doing with their new model and subscriptions makes me think the world has gone mad.

Not just Millennials. That title set me off as a Gen-X.

Before the internet the most common quote bomb was any Monty Python line...and to their credit, that is still active and effective.
