Oh thank China for this headline, finally, I have been waiting for it for years.

$$f(x) = 5$$

$a = b$

They have over a billion excess homes.

Which is good, because it keeps costs of living down, amiright?

I disagree. Especially on the internet, it can often be very difficult to say what is sarcasm and what is not. This is mostly because of the wildly diverse opinions that people have.

DINKs (double income no kids) would do wonders to the labour market, to keep the wages up.

Is this… an introductory course in relativity, disguised as a joke?

Am I accidentally learning something here?

Guys?

you are the barycenter of your own opinion

yo opinion so massive she needs a crane to get out of bed.

“compromise is when all sides are unhappy”

Easy reminder:

sun ~ 10^30 kg
jupiter ~ 10^27 kg
earth ~ 10^24 kg

so the ratio is always 1000:1

Not every observation has to result in a conclusion.

I swear that image seems appropriate at every second headline I read these days.

Yeah, I’m pretty proud of my people.

I agree, class war is coming and has to come, but it probably still got a few years to go. Can’t rush things.

Cannot confirm.

I use google maps regularly, and it mostly works fine.

However, google search engine (and youtube recommendations) have gone on a steeply downhill rollercoaster ride. Nowadays, I have difficulty researching even the most basic topics on Google, because it is so clustered with ads that I cannot tell anymore whether any website is genuine or trying to scam me.

We need a google that uses AI/ML to hunt and de-rank the 1800 word essay web pages that answer the question, “how long should you microwave a baked potato for?”

“In 1863, county cork in Ireland, Shamus O’Toole created the world first commercial potato farm. He’d go on to…”

Exactly what it feels like if I’m asked to “write an 700-word article” somehow. Most of it is just filler material, really.

Edgy comment here but:

In another thread we were discussing AI-generated CSAM. Thread:

You would probably agree, then, that such material is not problematic, because even if it looks like CSAM, and it quacks like CSAM, it is not CSAM, therefore we don’t have to take it seriously or regulate it in similar ways that we do regulate actual CSAM, if I continue your logic, no?

I believe that at a certain point, “agency” is an emergent feature. That means that, while all the single bits are well understood probability-wise, the total picture is still more than that.

It makes sense to me to accept that if it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, then it is a duck, for a lot (but not all) of important purposes.

I disagree. This is no meaningful talking point. It doesn’t help anyone in practice. Sure, it clears legal questions of responsibility (and I’m not even sure about that one in the future), but apart from that, making an artificial distinction between a human and a looks-and-acts-like-human, provides no real-world value.
