lime!

no, star wars is political in the “old” sense.

i had no idea this was a thing in american courts. it just seems like an insane thing to include in a murder trial

i was responding to the questions posted in the comment i replied to.

also, doesn’t that make this entire thing worse?

it would hold the same meaning as now, which is nothing.

this is automatic writing with a computer. no matter what you train on, you’re using a machine built to produce things that match other things. the machine can’t hold opinions, can’t remember, can’t answer from the training data. all it can do is generate a plausible transcript of a conversation and steer it with input.

one person does not generate enough data during a lifetime so you’re necessarily using aggregated data from millions of people as a base. there’s also no meaning ascribed to anything in the training data. if you give it all a person’s memories, the output conforms to that data like water conforms to a shower nozzle. it’s just a filter on top.

in regards to the final paragraph, i want computers to exhibit as little personhood as possible because i’ve read the transcript of the ELISA experiments. it literally could only figure out subject-verb-object and respond with the same noun as it was fed, and people were saying it should replace psychologists.

i have never been asked this question and i actively remove positions that aren’t relevant to the job i send that particular resume to

yeah folk race! the winners are all put up for auction at the end.

you would also not want to enter a brand new rally car in a folk race… it’s full-contact racing on a track that’s basically all mud.

footjob tent

it’s uncomfortably close to “femoid”

that’s still a good 40-50 years of use!

i like how, by changing one letter, you’ve created a new compound verb that basically translates to “halfway into the action of falling asleep”

my family’s old farmhouse has communal outhouses. this was the norm until like 150-200 years ago, and was still common here into the early 1900s.

i learned from a friend that used to work in banking that some countries have laws that basically make contracts and invoices void if they are not correctly gendered.

i’ve seen atms running os/2 warp. they take what they are given.

it’s not, chernobyl doesn’t have cooling towers

sorry for tisming

yes. except for the first few months (usually the first half-a-year) when both parties can terminate the employment within one month.

i am a shareholder. buying shares is only open to people working in the company. you have to sell them back when you leave.

man you guys need unions

here it’s minimum two months notice by law, usually three by contract, increasing by one month per every five years. and you can basically only get fired for actively sabotaging business, doing illegal shit, or if there legitimately is nothing for you to do. and they still have to pay you for the entire time. like, i worked at a company that went bankrupt and after the estate or whatever it’s called ran out of cash, the state paid out the final month.

flipside: it goes the other way too.

x86 starts with the 8086, which is 16 bit. AMD64, IA-64 and x86-64 are all both 64-bit and x86.

when referring to specifically 32-bit x86 it’s common to use the terms i386 or IA-32, but i think just “32-bit x86” gets the point across more clearly. if you need more specificity, just mention which processor you have and people can figure it out from there.

oh is that why that brush is in there

oh, you want a 32-bit version. should probably specify that. x86 is a big umbrella.
