  • I remember feeling like such a badass when I got a CD player that could read MP3 files burned to a disc. I'd have an entire band's discography burned to a single disc and felt like some sort of musical library with my binder full of MP3 CDs.

  • Japan.

  • I think it's fascinating. I don't think it holds the same reverence as man-made art by any means, but I still find it impressive.

  • Ergorotic literature.

  • always give them a wide berth because there's no way to know if they see you and they'll often behave erratically and unpredictably in crosswalks

    All of this applies to dealing with human drivers, too.

  • That post is from 2021. Is there a more recent udpate?

  • Yeah, I was going to suggest a data export, as this will often give you a handful of files, most importantly would be a CSV containing all your posts. It would probably be relatively easy to automate the process with that file.

  • Erdogan is a dictator who has the power to block X altogether.

    Does it really make a difference whether it's Erdogan or Musk who silences these people?

  • People joke about stepping on Legos, but a stray D4 is an actual health hazard.

  • Reminds me of that dude whose argument was "Do you know how expensive a slave was back then?!" lmao

  • uwugula

  • Rick & Morty for me. I thought it's a funny show, at least the first couple seasons I watched of it. I stopped watching it because of how obnoxious the fans are, actually ruining the show for me. It got to a point where I'd watch an episode, hear a joke get repeated, and think to myself "Oh great, this will be the line that I hear everybody saying for the next six months", to the extent that I get distracted by my own annoyance. Now I have this mental association with the show and the fans and I just can't stand to watch it anymore.

    This was all before the shit with Roiland came out, for what it's worth. But that's another reason I struggle to enjoy the show anymore.

  • Half of my screenshots are in pairs, because I often have to re-take for getting the volume slider on the screen.

  • In some religions that subscribe to the belief of reincarnation, life is a roguelike.

  • A plane can't stop flying without hitting the ground

    Totally unrelated to the thread, but this reminded me of Special To Hollywood, a really interesting short radio play from the 40s, about a plane that mysteriously becomes suspended in the air while the passengers and crew freak out trying to comprehend what's happening. It's a sort of surrealist horror story that I think was actually pretty ahead of its time.

    Somehow, as a kid I ended up with a collection of cassette tapes of these Lights Out radio shows. They were all pretty basic, Twilight Zone-y stories, but this one always stood out to me. You made me remember that, so I just wanted to share this weird little story.

  • Dude, I don't even want to fly on a fully-manned flight with the way these planes are dropping out of the sky these days.

  • I assume that this is using a highly-curated, custom model, and not some off-the-shelf GPT that just anybody can use, so it probably won't be suggesting that patients eat glue or anything crazy.

    From what I can tell, it sounds like this is actually a fairly valid use for a chatbot, handling a lot of the tedious tasks that nurses are charged with. Most of what it seems to be doing, any untrained receptionist could also do (like scheduling appointments or reading dosage instructions), so this would free up nurses for actually important tasks like administering medications and triaging patients. It doesn't seem like it's going to be issuing prescriptions or anything where real judgement would be necessary.

    As long as hospital staff are realistic about what tasks the chatbot should handle, this actually seems like a pretty decent place to implement a (properly-tuned) LLM.

  • OP acting like he seriously doesn't own a shirt with a logo on it.

  • I think that's largely because he wants to make his channel as kid-friendly as possible. If you watch some of his real early videos, he has a much calmer, more lecture-like demeanor without all the goofy edits and other modern YouTube tropes.

    His other big business venture is a subscription box for kids, which I think it aimed for around 8-13 year olds, so I imagine he's adopted his current personality to try to appeal to that audience.

  • Mark Rober is what you get when you cross veritasium with Mr beast.

    I hate that this makes as much sense as it does.
