Yup! Didn’t expect a bit on whale monitoring tech in a video on Europa

Hmm, I wonder if Georgia has a history of having to ban wearing masks in public because of insane racists harassing voters? 🤔 I wonder if one of the current nominees has also encouraged supporters to go to polls to intimidate people?

Is this a response from the election fraud complaint hotline? If you haven’t already kicked it up to them (and to your representative) that might be worth pursuing. At bare minimum it shows whoever planned this (assuming this isn’t Good Ol’ Boys covering for each other) shouldn’t be in the position to be making these decisions, when they’re making ones that are so clearly terrible.

The word puberty doesn’t even appear in the Wikipedia page on bears. Absolutely weird shit to lie about.

Hey, if a bunch of queer people tell you that you ignored the obvious on its face reading of a tweet in order to make up something homophobic to get mad about instead, maybe you should listen to them.

You clearly have no understanding of the matter to begin with if you think twinks are children.

If you think you’re not going to have changes in weight and body hair as you get older just because you’ve already gone through puberty, you’re going to have a bad time.

Btw, equating twinks to children is pretty fucked up and homophobic.

Does Mastodon have the blocking features that Bluesky has (like lists, blocks stopping quote reply chains, etc)?

Other than on Blahaj, I’ve never found a place more chill to be queer online once you apply a couple of well maintained block lists.

For sure, and I’m sure a large part of it is less smoking and more sunscreen. That shit ages you.

The worst incel tech bros on the planet keep yammering on about how it’s going to be “over” for women once sexbots exist, like women wouldn’t be crowdfunding the damn things themselves if it kept these creeps from prowling around them.

It’s not going to keep them away of course, except maybe for the people so far gone they’re already falling in love with a text generator. When sexbots do exist for real they’ll just move on to crying about how it’s not good enough, just like they do now about jerking off and fleshlights.

On the positive side, at least some of them will also get ridiculously ripped off by vaporware startups that leave them with a sex doll shaped paperweight after they get bricked by an automatic update.

Wow what a blast from the past, I remember having to help my sister play this game when she was little.

You can’t go home again.

Unfortunately, that is also a decision.

I thought this was going to be about middle and high school students, not PhD students 😬

I wonder if a way to deal with this is to just accept that students are going to use LLMs and have them bring in both their prompts and what output they think looks good. That way you can at least bypass the lie that they’re not using ChatGPT, try to see what they’re going for and what they’re not confident about or don’t understand, and have some honest discussions about that. Trying to instill the idea that using an LLM should be close to the beginning of the process and not the end would be nice, but my hopes aren’t high on that front.

I don’t know about all of it, but a heavy watermelon is well watered and more likely to be sweet since it’s had the resources to put tons of energy into growing all season. The same principle works for finding good citrus, you want something that feels heavy for its size.

Bluesky has ruined me. And if you don’t know why, preserve your innocence.

“Not evacuating properly”? Plenty of the people who died had no idea the storm was going to be as bad as it was when they were hundreds of miles inland in an area that had never had significant flooding.

How many cheques would a pay cheque check if a pay cheque could check cheques?

I think in this instance it might be “from the article”

I’ve felt the latter at a huge, extremely crowded parade and it was the scariest shit I’ve ever felt. Waves is the right word, because it was like being in a wave pool made of people. Fortunately nothing serious happened, but I have never noped the fuck out of anywhere that fast as soon as we were able to.
