  • What is your favorite kitchen gadget?

  • Two women had a business meeting. AI called it childcare

  • So true. But this was mostly an ad

  • While I agree this is just an 'ad for their "product" ' the systematic biasis in machine learning models including LLMs is a real problem that should be discussed more. There are gender and racial biasis that need to be accounted for and hopefully removed.

  • The Politics of Rural Hospital Closures (academic study)

  • I think at this point democrats needs move away from the ACA and push for single payer. I would love to see republicans do a 180 and support the ACA marketplaces (which were a conservative idea to begin with) instead of the larger single payer.

  • How to make sauces less potent so you can douse your food in them?

    Jump

  • So I know when I am makiing stir fries if I want lots of sauce I either add lots of different ingredients to build flavors. For example last night I had a sauce with Gochujang, Soy Sauce, Black Vinegar, Roasted sesame seeds oil, chili oil, chili garlic sauce. Each of which was in a smaller quantity but created a spicy and umami flavor that overall covered anything. So try to make multiple flavors together (which is traditional any way). I do love strong flavors so that might not work for you. If that doesn't work the water + corn starch slurry is a good method to make a sauce thick without adding much flavor.

    Tomatoes are the base for most mexican style sauces so add more tomatoes. You can make your own or just use the most mild salsa you can find as a base.

  • MAGA singles are looking for love in Washington. It’s a challenge.

  • The fact that conservative women are having a hard time finding men to date is kind of odd. It seems like they could clean up. But I guess alt-right guys are a real pain

  • Republicans are barreling toward an Obamacare subsidy cliff — with no unified plan

  • Don't worry the Republican better healthcare plan is about to unveilied. First we need to get through infrastruture week

  • How is the Minimal phone for using apps? Sometimes I feel like want a phone that does less and I like the price point. Just want to make sure I can keep using my phone plan and the few apps that I need. It says its fully andriod compatible so I assume they can run them but are they still usable

  • I am a data scientist and we use databricks which has copilot (I think) installed by default. So with this we have an autocomplete which I use the most because it can do some of the tedious steps for an analysis if I write good comments which I do anyhow. This is around 50% accurate with it being the most accurate for simple mindless things or getting the name of things correct.

    There is code generating block tool that I never use. There is also a something that troubleshoots and diagnosis any error. Those are mostly useless but has been good to finding missing commas and other simple things. Their suggestions sometimes are terrible enough that I mostly ignore this.

    We have a Copilot bot as part of our Github (I don't know is this standard now?) that I actually enjoy and has uses. It writes up great summarizes of what code was commited which has a great format and seems almost 100% accurate for me. Most importantly it has a great spellchecker as part of their suggestions. I am a terrible speller and never double check names so it can fix them both in the notes and in my code (It fixes it everywhere in the code which is nice). The rest of the suggestions are okay. There are some that are useful but some that are way off or overengineered for what I am doing. This I like because it just comes in at the end of my process and I can choose to accept or deny.

    Thoughts on Philips Hue Lights

  • Why is every person involved in a movie listed in the credits?

    Jump

  • Also to note here. The credits used to be at the start of a film. Since it was at the beginning there were typically less people credited becaue there was less time. (You obviously didn't want to make people wait too long to see the film but long enough they could get into the theater with their snacks). Once it moved to the end, there was no reason to not include everyone.

    This is also why we got the post credit teaser or scene which was a directors way to force the audience to see the whole credits

  • Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts

  • Well if people are leaving the state to avoid this 4% tax we just got to enact it everywhere. Problem solved

  • Pregnancy starts to count before conception

    Jump

  • There's a few days when it's likely a woman will be fertile. It's like 8 hours of fertility total. The few days allow sperm to be present during that window. It's a miracle anyone gets pregnant

    The spreading nature of clover is not overwhelming. I have it everywhere and doesn't pass even the smallest barrier to my more traditional gardens. It weedy status is more marketing than factual

  • AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds

    Jump

  • That what I thought. Each line of generated code even if deleted afterwards. Or have someone try to get as high as possible in a single trial

  • AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds

    Jump

  • I always wondered how they got those original productivity claims. I assume they are counting everytime a programmer uses a AI suggestion. Seems like the way to get the highest markable number for a sales team. I know that when I use those suggestions occasionally they will be 100% correct and I won't have to make any changes. More often than not it starts correct and then when it fills it adds things I don't need or is wrong or isn't fitting how I like to write my code. Then I have to delete and recreate it.

    The most annoying is when I think I am tabbing for autocomplete and then it just adds more code that I don't need
