And to trick them into banning ranked choice voting.

Edit: spelling

There’s an amendment on the ballot here in Missouri to ban non-citizens from voting this year. Also to ban ever adopting ranked choice voting, but it’s really about that non-citizen thing. Totally not ballot candy to do something undemocratic.

If you’re in Missouri, vote no on amendment 7 please.

Four wheels and a motor. How much more simple do you want?

It’s an issue with the machine learning technique, not the specific model. The hypothetical thesis would be how to use this knowledge in general.

Why are you so agitated by my off hand comment?

By measuring how it does with real images vs generated ones to start. The goal would be to show a method to reliably detect ai images. Gotta prove that it works.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone is working on that as a PhD thesis right now.

I mean, now that you say it. A little bit.

I’m in a doctor’s office and trying so hard not to disturb everyone around me and it’s not going well.

I feel compelled to ask, but don’t demand an answer: what rules did you break?

I presume you’re outside the US? When I got my license in the US (about 15 years ago now), you needed a pulse and a basic understanding of signage for the written part. One of the few things the US gets right is the ADA, which is why we have things like ‘reasonable accommodations’.

That last one was the biggie for me and you still get to have it if you’re subclinical.

That’s what I thought too, but it hit me harder than I expected. You might be surprised. Good luck.

YMMV but if you’re doing the thing where you think along the lines of “sure I’m weird but I get along fine” (borderline offensive paraphrase, sorry), you could be similar to myself in being subclinicly autistic. Just means you’re neurodivergent but not to an extent where you get any medical or legal benefit.

I’ve found that, after my therapist quasi-diagnosed me as such, I have an easier time being kind to myself and realizing what is bothering me and why.

Just food for thought.

This is a nice, optimal idea, but so many people don’t have access to that. As an adult, getting diagnosed is a pain in the ass at best, and that’s if you have decent insurance (USA here). Ultimately, everyone should get diagnosed by a doctor, but till we have the ability to do so, self-diagnosis has the ability to connect to a community that may be able to support someone who does have such a condition, but no ability to get the diagnosis.

I’m so ashamed I didn’t immediately think of that. That comic was the first thought any time someone used ‘adjective-ass noun’ for years.

Huh. I thought that was Sun Tzu, but google says Napoleon. Thank you.

Checks which community I’m in. Yeah that checks out.

Yeah, without that edit, I was immediately in “burn the bootlicker” mode. You make a valid consideration.

Quick guideline that’ll help you be more empathetic to the rest of humanity: other people’s experiences aren’t like yours. Their bodies behave differently, they have different socioeconomic statuses, their minds struggle with things yours finds easy and vice versa. So “skip a meal” is trivial for you and impossible for another. That’s why many different diets exist.

Stop painting humanity with one brush just because you can’t see outside your own world view.

Also: A chunk of human history where we skipped meals regularly also involved getting eaten by predators. Just because it was true in the past does not make it true now. Having access to calorie bombs 24/7 is normal now. And society hasn’t figured out how to deal with that. Some handle it fine, others handle it poorly.

Where did they assert that it was a substitute for water? I missed it. I also missed your justification for the same (approximately) beverage being twice the calories in America, thus contributing to that problem that you blame on individuals. Almost like you don’t have one. Weird.
