Reaching across the aisle for a compromise position where you are only required to equivocate on being white.

especially in the dark hours we need to remember that we are going to win

Jake Paul is a stupid evil. Mr Beast is more disturbing.

Remind boss of time difference. Don’t pay attention to spelling, autocorrect kicks in. Told employer I am on yeast coast time.

bro I am only halfway watching the football game and only halfway follow the sport at all but dude what the fuck

Does he have an editor for these pieces? Really want to know if he got any feedback on the bamboo metaphor. “Ryan, I get it, but sometimes less is more”

much of the dispute about whether AI is useful is academia is because there are different values of 'right answer' to the questions that different fields ask. The 'right answer' to 'what does midsummer's night dream say about gender?' is different from 'does this method of making tungsten work?'

here's a dumb question that reveals my ignorance: when you're using both terms in their technical computer science sense, what's the difference between 'machine learning' and 'AI'? is there one?

the kind of boring and banal truth about AI tools is that they are basically like every other tool in that they work best to complement your existing areas of expertise, have limitations, and do require an investment of time to learn their capabilities and limitations.

I’m not telling anyone how to post, do whatever you want, but I do see people (not OP) who express this sentiment who also gleefully boast about having ‘driven off’ people they dislike and at a certain point you do in fact have to chose between these two things.

I’m not a huge bleeding heart or anything, but “waterboard the rat in soap filled water until it is swept away and drowns” seems a bit much. Just toss the lil’ guy outside. Wash your hands afterwards, wear gloves.

I consider myself generally relatively pro-Waymo (the general technology as implemented by them, not necessarily the company), but yeah definitely pretty bad today and want an explanation for what happened.

Don’t listen to the haters. You deserve REI.

There is culture now? In el Sobrante?

Clear evidence that at universities conservatives don't face higher obstacles than liberals to establish student groups + invite outside speakers. "These results fail to offer support for the view that conservative students encounter more difficulty in efforts to access campus resources."

Fuck dude I gotta move back to the bay. Think that more every time I return.

Unfortunately what happens is you get a new cartel because whoops turns out that when you empower paramilitaries with the ability to Go After Bad Guys with little oversight it turns out being around lots of untraceable money you can take with violence leads to exactly what you think

It’s so cool that you can get 73-hr. flights from MTL to Beunos Aires, Mexico City, and/or Cleveland now.

Bill chose her. I know it hurts, but you need to move on.

Uhhhhhh this is way worse than you think it is

Ike’s Love and Sandwiches, Mike’s Hatred and Calzones

NY transit workers union demanding double the level of staffing on trains that other cities have is what I mean by unions interest’s not always being the public’s interests. Totally legitimate and appropriate thing for union to push for, would make transit system worse overall.

Is the thumb ontologically a finger?

I hope the Palestinian kid at brown sues every single one of these ghoul motherfuckers into the ground. This has got to be an open and shut defamation case.

The Who’s probably would have been justified in executing the grinch. The fact that they chose a restorative justice is heartening but it doesn’t mean their retribution would have been unjust.

*after reading 20+ replies and quotes to understand what the issue is* lmao what a dumbass

I don’t understand the “oh, you have a LINE on a GRAPH, you think that MEANS anything?!” people who also self-id as some kind of socialist/communist. how exactly are you going to run the command economy, dude? macroeconomic policy made on vibes?

All of these fucking guys have two modes: I DON’T WANT TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT, I WANT SOMETHING FAR MORE RADICAL whoa whoa heeeeyyyyy I never said that I *actually* wanted to…I’m just throwing’ ideas around here man, I’m just a lil’ guy

*pretending to not be angry* “More like Error Canada”

Will, for literally the first time in flying with them, my Air Canada flight be on time? Watch this space for updates.

I would love a Rainbow-6/Ready or not type game in which your SWAT team has meticulously plan how to take out one vampire that’s orders of magnitude more powerful than you.

Vampire game has little replayability. Definitely not worth full price. Some mildly different lines of dialogue. Also, Toreador abilities suck compared to the management Vampires. Playing Ventrue you feel like The Man, Torreador you're getting your ass beat all the time.

this is just a hypothesis on my part, but I also think this would change the nature of the interaction in a way that would dissuade (not make impossible) AI psychosis a little. the guy who compliments you for free is different than the guy you have to pay a dime to compliment you.

I think there’s some unproductive AI-Luddism (colloquial usage, you know what I mean, don’t be annoying), but also it’s extremely obvious where it came from and AI companies share a large portion of the blame with how they’ve framed things.

Yeah (HYPOTHETICAL, DO NOT DO THIS) bioterrorism is the other avenue through which I could see it being effective. CRISPR up a bovine-borne pathogen that can easily spread, something like that. You’d need it to have sufficient velocity to keep spreading after they blacksite you though.

I have been shown enough arguments in opposition that I’m not sure that section 230 is the mechanism through which to do it, but I’m still firmly of the belief that liability exposure for algorithmic content should be far higher for platforms. You put it in front of people, you’re a publisher.

one thing where some of the worst possible people in sf politics are kinda right is I do think Gary tan would be a open republican basically anywhere else

the thing about 'radical action' on climate that people talk about is that they'll just repair the pipeline and hire new executives and you'll be in jail or dead. you'd have to do something like Nordstream where the conditions that made it's construction possible don't exist anymore.

I'm very much talking my book here, but one way in which you get less crab in bucket bitterness over who gets things like academic jobs is simply by having more of them.

I don't think they're necessarily wrong, in that they presumably would say Trump is even more unpopular in the world where the issue wasn't high salience, but you are at that point making an unfalsifiable claim.

movie I'd like to see is guy caught in a Groundhog Day style loop, starts going crazy, acquires all kinds of insane skills, lives nihilistically, and then one 'day' it just ends. and he has to suddenly deal with the aftermath of all the insane shit that he did that 'day'.

This is why the angst over the decline of text-based media is a little overstated imo. Influential people read.

‘Slow gods’ by Claire North is very good.

Mr. President unless you really deliver for white male (discriminated against!) postdocs (educated, smart) who are in Canada (woke, victimized hourly!) in political science (STEM, not woke), your support will continue to erode.

Incoherent moderate voter who wants transgender only for those who don’t want it

Are we going to war with Venezuela?

Team of clandestine woke paramilitaries to enact the attempted operation from Sicario 2 and incite a groypher war. Kidnapping Fuentes and dropping him in the middle of the Heritage foundation.

Reminds me of the whole work from home/return to office thing, where people wanted services they paid for to return to in person, and services they got paid for to stay remote.

I guess “cofounders are a thing that exist” and “no they aren’t” is technically a debate, yeah.

Trying to get variables named consistently on my current project has brought out levels of latent authoritarianism in me that I did not know existed.
