Hopefully it’s good (and makes plenty of money for her son). The review on that site is positive and other sources praise the cinematography.

It says it’s wireless, but I’m not sure what it’s using - I’m guessing something custom enough that the dongle is necessary.

I don’t know what the big deal is. Lady Justice also has scales.

That “staff pick” comment… chef kiss

My brain saw a NSFW thumbnail and it took a few seconds to see it correctly.

The caps lock makes sense! A key logger will get confused when you type your passwords in.

I think it will be, thank you very much.

It looks like @[email protected] isn’t around any more, so I guess it’s unmoderated around here (aside from the LW admins).

Can’t the/a bot post here where everyone’s already subbed? If you give me a bit of time, I could get one written.

I’m not understanding why that’s an appropriate name, but maybe I need to learn more about butterflies.

It feels like a long time since we’ve had fresh Taskmaster, I’m impatient for it to start again.

The article says that Jason Mantzoukas knows the series really well - I hope that includes knowing that the contestants who prioritise winning over being entertaining all seem to later regret it! To be fair, I think chaos is entertaining so all should be well.

Tbh, I don’t think you really understand how the non-rhotic accent works. In this case, the /r/ would be fully pronounced, as it would be at the start of a word. Say bread, elongate the r and skip the ed part and you have what it sounds like.

If you’re very used to hearing the bunched r, the British version still might sound softer, but even in the USA (where most people use bunched r) it’s still common to hear an r made with the tip of the tongue behind the teeth (upper or lower).

I’m ignoring the other r sounds, but you do find a lot of them across the various regional English accents.

This is a great example - it kinda makes sense if you skim read it but butterflies have nothing to do with butter, just like hotdogs have nothing to do with dogs.

FiveSixElevenSeventeen downvotes and counting…

LLMs are already being used for policy making, business decisions, software creation and the like. The issue is bigger than summarisers, and “hallucinations” are a real problem when they lead to real decisions and real consequences.

If you can’t imagine why this is bad, maybe read some Kafka or watch some Black Mirror.

My friends would probably say something like “I’ve never heard that one, but I guess it means something like …”

The problem is, these LLMs don’t give any indication when they’re making stuff up versus when repeating an incontrovertible truth. Lots of people don’t understand the limitations of things like Google’s AI summary* so they will trust these false answers. Harmless here, but often not.

* I’m not counting the little disclaimer because we’ve been taught to ignore smallprint from being faced with so much of it

I found that trying “some-nonsense-phrase meaning” won’t always trigger the idiom interpretation, but you can often change it to something more saying-like.

I also found that trying in incognito mode had better results, so perhaps it’s also affected by your settings. Maybe it’s regional as well, or based on your search result. And, as AI’s non-deterministic, you can’t expect it to always work.

And it’s can’t bear to (bear as in carry, not bare as in nude).

A lot of the discussion is about kinds of locking mechanisms. I think it’s posted in the right place.

“We think this feature is best used when talking with groups where you may not know everyone closely but are nevertheless sensitive in nature,”

Sounds like Meta wants to be used for the next Houti strike coordination group chat.
