No, and I do not agree with the above poster, but we’re aided in that most of our forms are in both English and Spanish, the two most common native tongues of people who live here.

They got your IP Address, which just means they have the number that corresponds to your device when it accesses the internet (for most people in most situations, this number changes often) and it doesn’t really do much besides tell them the general location of the device based on the numbers themselves as they pertain to a location with how they’re assigned. But they’re general enough to be mostly useless. But enough to spook some folks.

But, was the thing about urine in your second to last sentence a mistype or did you mean that?

Man says “hamas aren’t good guys, but they are the only ones bargaining on behalf of Gazans”

And you say “he said hamas are good guys”

If you learned “everything after the But in a sentence is a lie” and still believe it that vehemently without nuance into your adult life, you should reevaluate who you’re taking your life advice from. Things can have nuance, and this war is fucking filled with it. Gazans who haven’t known a life outside of death and destruction of their home voting for people who claim they’ll fight for them (Hamas), radicalized by the violence enacted upon them by Israel. Israel insisting the death tolls are anyway near similar, riling up their citizens and voter bases about Hamas, an organization that, with it’s absolute best opportinity for a ‘surprise’ attack on October 7th, barely scratched the surface of the innocent deaths since this has begun. It was a travesty, a loss of innocent life, and it was met with another travesty, another loss of life, but in greater force than they could have ever attempted.

If you can’t sympathize with a people who have been starved, bombed, displaced, and then blamed for their existence, then history has failed you.

I just started diving into the space from a localized point yesterday. And I can say that there are definitely problems with garbage spewing, but some of these models are getting really really good at really specific things.

A biomedical model I saw seemed lauded for it’s consistency in pulling relevant data from medical notes for the sake of patient care instructions, important risk factors, fall risk level etc.

So although I agree they’re still giving well phrased garbage for big general cases (and GPT4 seems to be much more ‘savvy’), the specific use cases are getting much better and I’m stoked to see how that continues.

Actual traffic laws? This thing is safe as can be. It’s got just the right angles that if it hits a pedestrian they’ll bounce right into one of the designated Kill Corners, making their end painless. That sounds like regulation working to me

Yeah I don’t grasp the whole system, and no one’s ever shown me how to properly scan the two gallons of milk I keep beneath my regular items in the bottom row of the cart…guess they’re free then

Nah chief, it’s pretty groundbreaking. I mean we don’t know how to specifically target existing connections to strengthen the sheathe between existing brain cells, but connecting two brain cells at all, manually, is such a feat

I mean, it is annoying. But it’s security. Don’t want people having access to your device, remove all possibility someone CAN.

But it is annoying, we shouldn’t HAVE to do this. Privacy should be baked right into our daily lives and not clawed out with tired hands every chance we get.

“With an apple silicon architecture, 8gb is like 16gb” -some stupid apple flunkey

I dont consider the release of any government secrets that SHOULD be public to be ‘tattle tale’-ing.

Can you detail his agenda, so that I can know what you’re meaning?

I don’t think he would have done that if we didn’t pursue him like a dog and threaten to throw the book at him, as a whistleblower.

If we’d given him proper whistleblower protections, he wouldn’t have fled for his life or intentionally jumped in our enemies pockets

It’s weird how few “gangbangers” ever wind up being caught, pursued, litigated against and how many of them cops seem to kill or claim they’ve killed before any substantial evidence is ever obtained.

It’s almost like they’re justifying their increased budgets and surveillance even though crime has been on a steady decline (covid spike notwithstanding) for the last 50 years.

Those same gangbangers exist in countries that don’t have the same level of police shootings, and they haven’t overrun the government (even though bad guys don’t listen to gun laws and can buy them anywhere, as police tell me, so that can’t be the case)

No no, thank you for this.

I understand blockchain as a concept, and kind of hownit plays into cryptocurrency, but understanding a true example of blockchain use outside of finances is something I needed more info on, thank you

Can you detail for me how voting No Confidence (which would be a write in, at least for presidential elections) works in the US? Additionally, how does this vote impact decisions any way more or less than voting for any candidate?

You never responded to any of the points called out in the article you linked. You can’t post something, and be mad when no one “believes your truth”. If you do, you’re not asking to change people’s minds, you just want to shout into the void too.

My wife and I use the pinky promise as a sacred oath and sometimes an investigative tool.

If we’re not okay, or we’re worried the other is putting on a face to get through a moment without being honest, the pinky is used as a “I won’t ask again, just promise me you’re alright, or will be alright, and we’re good” and that kicks off a conversation or she confirms that she’s fine and the tone is residual from another frustration.

Pinky is sacred, if my wife lied on a pinky promise, it would breach our deepest marital trust.

Yeah it’s not exactly a major loss to me if countries that are only held back from atrocities by economic sanctions decide not to trade with us

For some, but it’s just that it’s diminishing returns as you go up. 60 going to 120 is about as visually distinct as going 120 to 240, and then 240 to 480.

I have had a 120hz, 144hz, and 165hz monitors in my house, and although the 120-144 jump was pretty much undetectable to me, thr 120-160 was smoother but not like when I first moved to 120.

I’m colorblind though, so color accuracy doesn’t always do much for me until my wife points out people’s skin looking weird if I’ve switched to a color palette that’s easier to track for me.

Every full moon, she transforms into a were-american, guns sprout from her hands, a dual 64-oz drinking hat bursts from her skull, complete with Big Glug Gator-aid (freedom flavored), and she howls the US constitution into the night while driving over protesters in her lifted somehow-dualie black escalade.

Man, my house needs sealed better, or maybe it’s just finally time to bite the bullet and move. My rent’s cheap, house is shit, landlords mostly forget we exist but there aren’t tons of problems normally…except when windchill hits and gets in the negatives, then my kitchen is a whole different climate than the rest of the house and I know it’s costing me in heating
