Nah, they’re resistant to that because their whole engine is fueled with hate. They have persecution and victim complexes. Calling them weird actually seems to affect them because their whole thing is parading around as if they’re the party for “average” aka “normal”(white) Americans.
Language for sounds doesnt work like that though. If I hear a pop song and say “dang that’s a great snare” it isn’t wrong if technically the sound is actually a synthesized snare. When you hear something you can name it without it having to be physically present. Plus plenty of things ring without being a bell.
Oof. I like how they always seem to ignore the insane amount of human created art that goes in to creating these models that is uncredited and uncompensated.
Look, I’m not saying any of them come close to the original, but imo it’s the second best of the series (including all the dogshit jurassic worlds) because it sticks to what made the first one great; small amount of people trapped on an island with dinos. The Lost World was like half that but then it turns in to some weird almost king kong-esq thing. Also i love me some Goldblum but he’s better as a foil imo and Chris Pratt has nowhere near the gravitas as Sam Neil. Like really besides the annoying parents what do you not like about the third one?
Unpopular opinion, I actually really like the third one
I think it’s like an old school Georgian (the US state) accent. I have family from that area that sound exactly like that. I don’t have a problem understanding it for that reason but i could totally see not knowing wtf he’s saying. Just wanted to say there are indeed people that sound like that in case people thought it was just a British person putting on a bad southern accent.
Liquid water under Mars’ surface could be a huge upside if we can confirm it’s there and figure out how to get to it
What do you mean by flashbangs?
Would love to know what kind of cool personal projects you’ve seen! I’m trying to get my first job in web dev and feel like i have a hard time coming up with stuff to do for my portfolio.
I’m not sure how you think this video is related to the comment I replied to ?
Also Starship Troopers
Out of curiosity, what did your consignment deals look like? Like were you consigning on behalf of the shop or customers looking to sell their stuff? And you did you split the net?
Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
That’s pretty common grammar for news headlines; yes it means ‘and’ and yes it’s annoying/silly. It probably harkens back to print media needing to condense as much as possible to save on space and ink and it just continues because institutional traditions.
The sense of obligation towards your coworkers is something companies absolutely abuse and exploit. I’m not saying don’t have empathy for your fellow human, but people aren’t typically incentivized to use best possible solutions if they take more work outside of this obligation so you have to be careful to not let yourself be exploited because of it.
The line wrap with fasci-nating is too good, that’s gotta be intentional
Not sure why you think there wouldn’t be any more need for labor, unless you’re thinking of some far future post-scarcity society where literally everything is automated. A UBI implemented now would give the working class even more power because they’d be able to actually use their labor as leverage instead of being forced to choose between working for shit pay or starvation.
See, I actually think the F&F franchise is the exception here. The first one is just about some folks who like cars stealing DVD players. If it had just been that movie, I think it would have been mostly forgotten. It’s not bad, but it’s not iconic on its own. With each subsequent one they continue to lean harder and harder in to ridiculousness to the point where suddenly we have Tyrese and Ludacris in SPACE. To me the franchise is an example of how to do the action movie right: with a huge amount of self awareness and never taking it too seriously. They know what kind of movies they’re making.
Don’t forget Oprah who amplified the idea more than they ever could have done on their own
For me it’s because I’m not convinced LLMs are really a stepping stone to any actual AI. They don’t have educational applications imo because there isn’t any way they can separate truth from fiction. They don’t understand the words that they output; they’re just predictive text generators on a huge scale. This isn’t something that can change with better tech either; it’s baked in to the very concept of an LLM. And worse, when they are wrong there’s no way to tell without already knowing the answer to the questions you’re asking. They’re literally just monkeys with typewriters. This is an extremely good article about the kinds of problems I’m taking about.
