  • Liveleak

  • Idk if this anatomy is accurate for terrestrial snails too, but to be fair for aquatic snails the turds float away immediately.

  • "I don't live on this property, I just use it for storing my RV."

    Tall shrubs/trees all around, get a PO box. Don't show your neighbors around.

    Exactly what is going to compel local police to get a warrant to enter the property and somehow confirm you live in that RV full time?

    These kinds of laws are crafted by elected legislators who are either truly inept, or only interested in performative gestures to boost their image. A law without realistic enforceability is mostly imaginary, and primarily serves just to tack extra charges onto some other sentence a person got for breaking a law local police actually enforce.

  • It is not expensive, assuming you don't mind giving someone else your microplastics. In fact, you can get paid about $100 to do it in most places. How? Apharesis is exactly what is performed when donating plasma.

  • Kerrygold

  • Kroger diet cola. It's better than diet coke. Always fucking out of stock though around me.

  • At least with social media, you can choose what content to engage with or scroll past. A lot of TV news is fear mongering non-news entertainment. I don't care that someone got arrested after a high speed chase. I don't care about someone's dog charity. What your local Sinclair is peddling, let alone Fox, is just about getting you to come back over and over for the ads, and it's a continuous feed of trash someone else is deciding to put in your face and dub important.

    Feeds also often let you mark content as "not interested" to better personalize for what you consider relevant and newsworthy. So, it's not necessarily a one-way street there either.

  • Summarization is one of the things LLMs are pretty good at. Same for the other thing where Wikipedia talked about auto-generating the "simple article" variants that are normally managed by hand to dumb down content.

    But if they're pushing these tools, they need to be pushed as handy tools for editors to consider leveraging, not forced behavior for end users.

  • If nonviolence gets you want you want, you don't resort to violence in the first place. Did the author account for this and consider whether resistance categorized as violent began as nonviolent?

  • Just donate plasma. Works great, gives some other schmuck your plastic.

  • Defense, foreign relations, cross-jurisdiction crime, the usual things. But civil law and local criminal policy overridden locally, if voters desire?

    I guess I'm thinking about a situation where let's say one region wants to trade with some other country, and another doesn't like that, then tough luck. Or same sex marriage, vehicle emissions rules, etc. That sort of thing. Seems like in places such as the US, voters from the other side of the country can override what your local citizens want if they get enough other external voters to side with them.

  • Humans apply judgment, because they have emotion. LLMs do not possess emotion. Mimicking emotion without ever actually having the capability of experiencing it is sociopathy. An LLM would at best apply patterns like a sociopath.

  • Frankly, it reads like the LLM's ability to contribute meaningful and correct code collapsed as the library continued to grow. That's pretty much my experience with LLMs as well.

  • Oh no, there are only three rebrandings of the same hot dogs from the same hot dog manufacturing plant instead of five 🪦

  • How do two people decide they like each other enough to form a long term relationship?

    Part of that has to do with cues that really do require physical interaction to gauge. Apps will never bridge that gap.

    Another element of it is the inundation of choice. Because there are so many options, and new options every day, it's tempting to hold out waiting for Mr./Ms. Perfect. (Frankly, women tend to fall more into this camp though. Desperate men often try to match as many women as possible, and the exact opposite is true of attractive women on algorithm based apps.)

    Finally, I think what people think they want, and what they actually settle for, are very different when it comes to relationships. Two people might become infatuated with one another because of regular contact (work, volunteering, hobby, etc) and end up in a successful relationship despite maybe not being an instant match. Apps will also never replicate this, and its sort of a distillation of the above two points.

  • Shot an invasive squirrel with a new mini crossbow someone gifted me instead of my usual compound bow. The squirrel's definitely dead now, but the mini bolt got stuck in it before it ran off onto the neighbor's bigass wisteria bramble. With the compound bow and a blunt head arrow, they die instantly on the spot and I can toss them. I did the math just now, the mini crossbow is an order of magnitude weaker. Oops.

    Anyway, gonna get stinky over there in a few days.

  • Move to an undisclosed remote location and start posting massive crypto bounties on the heads of the shittiest people in the world. Like, $100M a pop. Pay a digital sweatshop to spam social media with AI generated posts and memes about it until the whole world is aware. Then wait. See if anyone is able to collect.

  • The writer can work remotely from that little cabin. Most young people have to live close to work. Guess where the jobs aren't?

  • I've gone through Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Vim, Atom, Sublime, VSCode, probably others too, but frankly VSCode's simplicity out of the box coupled with great plugin support is hard to beat. Folks who complain about VSCode not having some feature like to ignore that being relatively simple by default is a good thing. You can always add or enable what extensions you need to tailor it to your language and workflow of choice. Even if you're used to Vim keyboard centric editing...guess what? There's a well supported OSS extension to give you that functionality.

    The power of being able to use one IDE on a diverse team across various languages is huge. You can even commit extension and settings defaults to a repo to immediately get new cloners up to speed with whatever workflow and tooling defaults are good starting points on a per project basis, but still leaving them the option to ignore/override as needed without dictating a team-wide workflow change.
