  • I've had a few bosses who were great at shielding the team from shit and sticking up for the department in front of everyone. I'd do absolutely anything for them and we all pitched in because it was us.

    I applied for my current role partly because I knew who my boss would be and I knew he'd be great. He has my back and I have his. Same is true for the whole team.

  • Chief Justice John Roberts says American public wrongly views the justices as ‘political actors’

    Jump

  • Lady Justice and the Constitution were your personal plaything, Roberts, but you prostituted them for Trump and now that you've made them completely subservient to his crazy stupid nastiness, you've realised he doesn't need your permission for anything anymore and just expects your compliance. You're his toy now and you want the American people, who you fucked over for decades, to supply the respect for the constitution and the law that you squandered so fully?

    Jump

  • They do, but he's realising now that he has made himself impotent and Trump correctly fully expects him to do whatever fucknonsense his whims lead him to.

  • Awww, did some nasty journalist say that you volunteer to wear a leash for Trump daily? Diddums. You used to think you were cleverly manipulating the constitution behind the scenes for your own political ends and were being subtle about it, but now everyone says you're his bitch and you know full well he's a moron who shouldn't be in charge of you, so you lost any self respect you ever had because you realised Trump has no less contempt for you than he has for any temporarily useful stupid idiot who swallowed his lies and was used by him to cement power and stroke his own ego.

  • More of a liar than an idiot in this case.

    But ruling that the supreme court can't intervene over Trump's official acts, that was stupid. That was stupid in the extreme.

    Jenna Ellis Says Religious Freedom Only Applies To Christians

    Jump

  • That's... not religious freedom, Jenna. That's the opposite of religious freedom, and the government policing religion is the opposite of what the founding fathers wanted.

  • Those in countries with universal healthcare, what's it like?

    Jump

  • Depends. My annual checkup needed to be booked weeks in advance, whereas when I rang them about a mole that started bleeding, they wanted a picture and when they saw it, they referred me urgently to the dermatology department. I had an appointment that Saturday and they froze it off, but the dermatologist didn't think it was skin cancer. Since I was there anyway and it was annoying, it was bye bye mole. The NHS can move fast when it needs to. My aunt waited quite a while for her hip replacement but when my other uncle fell and broke his they did it straight away.

    If you turn up at A&E (emergency room) at the weekend after pub closing time you'll be waiting hours and hours, but they deal with the most urgent stuff first.

    It used to be better before the conservatives underfunded it for a decade and a half, and having an anti-immigrant policy and restricting placed on UK training hasn't helped the recruitment crisis any, but it's still good and I didn't have to mortgage my house to pay for my relative's cancer treatment.

    Privatisation ruins everything for everyone except the CEOs and shareholders.

  • Do you know any songs about trains?

    Jump

  • What a superb question.

    I admit these may not be what you're looking for, but there's a tale of railway hubris here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmCA2yJHGfs

    And a cheery celebration of train travel here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yT4F8hzykY

    Just.... not quite what you might be expecting.

    I'm gently aspergic with a proper dose of ADD, so not really so firmly autistic, but I absolutely adore trains, travelling on trains, reading about trains and pretty much everything to do with them. The only reason I'm not a train spotter is that it requires a level of determination, organisation and effort that isn't really my strong suit.

  • Your 40% depends a lot on how you ask the questions and the field of these questions.

    Dude, they fail that exam with even worse error rates than I see!

    When you can verify it, it's OFTEN and REGULARLY wrong. It's stupid to trust if for anything you can't personally verify.

    The designed purpose of LLMs is to respond to human interaction, not to be correct. They are the showoff who pretends he can answer every question. They are the confident drunkard at the bar who will tell you anything that pops into their head. Intelligent, knowledgeable people say "I don't know" when they don't know. LLMs don't do that. Ever. Trouble is, they don't "know" anything. They're a chatbot from the bottom up. Chatbot through and through. It's their fundamental nature.

    Yes there was knowledge and deep understanding in their training data. Also, I ate chicken curry for tea. However, I am not a chicken, I do not cluck, I haven't started eating worms, I cannot produce any chicken, and my poop is not chicken either. My poop smells faintly of curry. So it is with LLMs and the knowledge and understanding in their training data.

  • Ah, Liz Truss, an awful, awful prime minister, who was a Thatcher wannabe (which shows how bad her motivations were), racist, stupid, crashed the economy, blamed the chancellor she talked into doing it, sacking him for implementing her plan rather than for the tax avoidance he should have been sacked for, weak but talked tough. I was thinking she was the worst prime minister we'd had in a while, but the Conservative Party really has done a number on the country with the awful prime ministers it has foist upon us.

    The country elected "stability and prosperity" with David Cameron instead of "chaos with Ed Milliband" and we got the Brexit referendum, endless turmoil, economic calamity, and frankly Ed Milliband would have been a far better prime minister than anyone we've had since.

    Next, having promised to see the result of the referendum through either was, Cameron promptly resigned, leaving us with Teresa May, and whilst she had a sense of duty and fairness, she considered it her duty to try to find a compromise position between remainers and brexiteers, but the brexiteers wanted nothing and chaos and disruption and no compromise, and trying to satisfy them by moving in their direction was not just a fool's errand, it was an idiot's cause. She also thought that it was fair to write "immigrants go home" on the side of vans to drive through London, so her sense of duty and fairness didn't get us anything good.

    After that we got Boris "moral compasses are for weak people" Johnson. It's not so much that he was a liar, it's that truth or falsehood were completely irrelevant to him. He partied while banning parties and while the Queen mourned in isolation 2 metres from her family, and that did for him in the end.

    Then we had useless car crash Liz Truss, and finally Rishi "tech bro" Sunak, who wasn't all that great either.

    Unfortunately they've now got Kemi Badenoch, who is as stupid as Truss, but is allowed to be more racist because she's from an ethnic minority, and of course she's allowed to be misogynistic because she's a woman, but actually all the racists and misogynists have deserted the Conservatives for the Nigel Farage Shit Show because she's a black woman and he's a white man. When will they ever learn?

    Unfortunately, Labour have Keir "personality free zone" Starmer as prime minister, and whilst they've done some good stuff for workers rights and tenants, they've done it painfully slowly and are being beastly to the immigrants, so no one likes them much any more.

    If they could replace him with someone with a bit of likeable personality and the common touch, who would actually make things better for ordinary people, build a vast amount of good-looking council housing, increase minimum wage, tax billionaires and multinationals, train, recruit and retain more doctors and nurses, bring social care under the nhs and fund it properly, invest in renewables to bring energy prices down, nationalise water again (leaving the debt firmly on the profiteering shareholders door - you leave with nothing, you vultures), then people can start to feel a bit more positive, and nobody needs to be deported for having the wrong colour skin.

  • How come it's inaccurate about 40% of the time when I know the answer then? It's a bullshit factory. A chatbot that's fundamentally designed to sound like a person and be able to respond to any prompt. But truth isn't any part of the fundamental architecture of an LLM.
