Whenever I try, I get Ravi Bhatia screaming “How can she slap?!”

I’m inclined to believe this, but what I see is laughably bad. I’ve agreed with the premise of Sandy Hook Promise since before the Sandy Hook Massacre, yet they’ve been pounding me with ads for years. Every once in a while, I get a halfhearted “But Trump is pretty cool, isn’t he?” Which will never be clicked. And, when I watched a reaction channel do Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I got a shit-ton of “God hates fagz!” And was pretty glad to see them wasting their money on me.

Did he make you manually allocate all the space for food in your stomach before you started to eat?

They named the bill wrong - it should be Kids’ Act for Online Safety- KAOS.

Three fiddy.

My Spanish is mediocre, but typically can get me from A to B without a lot of misunderstandings. I was driving back from the Mall in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and my very British GPS decided to route me via “Calle Ajore.” Now everybody uses abbreviations for the word “street” - and in Spanish uses “C.” For “Calle” just like English uses “St.”

So, I’m battling traffic, and Lady Winifred Windsor the GPS advises me to “Turn right to see a whore.”

I’d say there was a period before reddit hit its pinnacle where Quora was significantly better. Probably more than 10 years ago, though, and only for a few years. I remember when I started spending more time on Reddit than Quora.

Try to train a human comedian to make jokes without ever allowing him to hear another comedian’s jokes, never watching a movie, never reading a book or magazine, never watching a TV show. I expect the jokes would be pretty weak.

Finland: Greeting each other?!?

I didn’t get what you were asking until I started to answer. The parameter is the angle. The algorithm is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC . In (most?) compiled languages, this algorithm is performed on hardware. In (some?) interpreted languages, it’s done in hardware.

To paraphrase one of their most brilliant sons:

“That,” he said, “that… is really bad for the eyes.”

It was a roast of classic, simple design, like a flattened salmon, twenty yards long, very clean, very sleek. There was just one remarkable thing about it.

“It’s so… black!” said Ford Prefect. “You can hardly make out its shape… light just seems to fall into it!”

The blackness of it was so extreme that it was almost impossible to tell how close you were standing to it.

“Your eyes just slide off it…” said Ford in wonder.

It could be lifesaving in those rare occasions that you accidentally call the teacher ‘Mom.’

Jessica went nuclear when they did that. It was inspirational and the FCC’s website got the “hug of death” for at least hours.

A 420-pound, 5-foot-2 robocop

At least it’s the same dimensions as the regular cops.

Why is there a picture of Margaret Cho?

Why even get the app? Works fine in a browser.

Meet the multi-millionaire trying to…

Pass.

I suppose if AI writes better jokes, it should write the jokes. But, tax those who financially gain from it to fund Universal Basic Income.

I’ve had a nagging issue with ChatGPT that hasn’t been easy for me to explain. I think I’ve got it now.

We’re used to computers being great at remembering “state.” For example, if I say “let x=3”, barring a bug, x is damned well gonna stay 3 until I decide otherwise.

GPT has trouble remembering state. Here’s an analogy:

Let Fred be a dinosaur.
Ok, Fred is a dinosaur.
He’s wearing an AC/DC tshirt.
OK, he’s wearing an AC/DC tshirt.
And sunglasses.
OK, he’s wearing an AC/DC tshirt and sunglasses.
Describe Fred.
Fred is a kitten wearing an AC/DC tshirt and sunglasses.

When I work with GPT, I spend a lot of time reminding it that Fred was a dinosaur.
