Jasmine rice. Makes a huge difference if you like white rice. Tastes like from a restaurant and pleasantly sticky.

Absolutely. It’s why asking it for facts is inherently bad. It can’t retain information, it is trained to give output shaped like an answer. It’s pretty good at things that don’t have a specific answer (I’ll never write another cover letter thank blob).

Now, if someone were to have the good sense to have some kind of lookup to inject correct information between the prompt and the output, we’d be cooking with gas. But that’s really human labor intensive and all the tech bros are trying to avoid that.

Gradient descent is a common algorithm in machine learning (AI* is a subset of machine learning algorithms). It refers to using math to determine how wrong an answer is in a particular direction and adjusting the algorithm to be less wrong using that information.

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

To pile on: They don’t filter anything, or search anything. They are clever parrots made up of huge streaks of linear algebra. It has no understanding of anything nor interest in doing more than generating sentences that look right given a prompt. Even saying that it has ‘no understanding’ or ‘interest’ is giving it too much credit, implying intelligence or decision making capability. It’s just ridiculously vast math.

Drove through those one time. Only been to Texas once. We ended up on the top one of like six stacked up (not exaggerating, maybe off by one). Got a chuckle from my husband when I dramatically declared “I stand atop the hubris of man!”

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.

I imagine the mental gymnastics are way easier if you’re uninformed about how things work.

Does it qualify as bad faith if I ask my previous questions knowing that he had nothing and/or complete unhinged nonsense?

Fair, I intended that more as an idiom really. I mean whether or not the punishment goes through. He’s so damned slippery I’m not taking anything as truth until the buildings have been seized/ he’s in jail.

But yeah, they did make up their minds there.

Is this not the point of a trial? To ascertain fact and adjudicate appropriately? Hell, this is explicitly the point of a grand jury, to determine if a trial is merited in the first place. And they’ve found, several times, that taking the charges to trial is justified. Not even that he’s guilty, but that it’s worth looking into.

Additionally, what facts am I missing? He wasn’t exactly subtle with seeking to commit crimes (“Only stupid people pay taxes” comes to mind as a softball, but the fact that he was never held to the emoluments clause also stands out. Plus all the fraud and rape). Where is the misunderstanding in all this? He was found to be a rapist by a judge. He was found to have committed fraud by a different judge.

Yes, holding a person accountable for their crimes (maybe, jury is still out) is attacking them…

Unless you’re talking media coverage. Cause we all know that the media is an arm of the government…

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.

I have a litany of different parasomniae. Sleep walking and talking. The occasional paralysis, regular night terrors, the very odd waking hallucination. And rarely remember my dreams. Here’s my experience:

Sleep talking: Never remember anything about the dream. I do respond incoherently apparently.

Sleep walking: Can remember the edges of the dream if woken up. Dream logic still holds for a good 10 seconds or so from waking up. I tend to hand my husband wads of clothes. He’s figured out if he just orders me back to sleep I’ll do it.

Night terrors: Never remember anything, and to my understanding occurs during nrem, so you shouldn’t be dreaming anyway. I startle my spouse often. My grandmother also had them all her life.

Hypnopompic (read: after waking up. Contrast hypnogogic) hallucination: Been a long time on this one. Kinda like a movie. You see and hear something then all the sudden it vanishes. Only ever happened a couple times ever.

Sleep paralysis: Terrifying. Keenly aware that I’m fully conscious and cannot compel anything to move. Not even my eyelids. Lasts for what feels like forever but is probably a few minutes. Worst one for me by far. Thankfully rare. Edit: It is my understanding that people hallucinate sometimes at the same time. Hence the origin of the sleep paralysis demon.

Well yeah, you have to pat dry. But you still get cleaner and use way less tp (this may vary on how much fiber you have in your diet).

I was also suspicious, but it looks ok.

It’s a metaphor for getting back up after you fall down, which is the kind of shit people who actually use LinkedIn as a social media eat up.

Looks at the 2016 US election…

Yeah, I thought that was Wayfair…
