Ohhh I probably disabled it right away and then forgot about it.

Huh, I was using Ubuntu as my daily driver circa 2014 and I don’t remember this at all… maybe I stopped just prior to them implementing it… or maybe it just didn’t make enough of an impression for me to notice.

There seems to be something contradictory about the idea that letting people elect judges endangers democracy. If you don’t trust the people to elect judges, how can you trust them to elect the people who appoint judges?

This one isn’t even real. “Fewer” can only refer to countable things, but “less” can refer to both countable and uncountable things, and has been used that way for hundreds of years. It has never been wrong to say “less.”

This protects him from prosecution but doesn’t require other officials to help him break the law. States don’t need the president’s approval to run elections, and Congress doesn’t need his approval to certify the votes of electors in the presidential election specifically.

I really liked it. Bikes and cars go vroom, guns go bang, flamethrowers go woosh. 10/10. I’m contemplating going again next weekend.

My roommate was bored. Didn’t like the writing, didn’t like Taylor-Joy’s performance. He rated it “not good.” I didn’t really disagree with any of his specific complaints, I just didn’t care about them.

I suspect your mileage really depends on what kind of audience member you are.

Zero. I typically browse All/Top 6 Hours. Nothing bothers me enough to want to block it.

Well I suspect he thought that France might waive the ban because the Senate had invited him specifically. I imagine the police will be getting an angry phone call from a senator.

Wait this is a real product‽ I thought it was a meme!

So, uh, are we doing World War 3 now? Just asking because I need to know if I should be canceling my summer plans and investing in canned food.

The “asking for nothing” experiment is from later in the article, where they try with ChatGPT.

I don’t know much about image generators, but it’s not surprising to me at all that ChatGPT can’t fulfill the request to respond with nothing. Your prompt gets converted into tokens, tokens get processed by the model, it outputs a resulting set of tokens, and those get converted into text. Expecting the token-outputting-machine not to output any tokens is going to lead to disappointment.

I mean that sounds nice, but honestly I don’t “progress” nearly as much as I “faff about” so stuff like XP lets me have the illusion of progress while I spend 30 hours roaming around the starting area looking for collectibles. I’m not sure what a real-time effect on that would look like.

But… I like it when number go up!

Ahhh I see. That second-from-last comic image where he’s dodging lasers was the first one I found, and I was like “Wait it says this is from 2016 and he kinda looks like this Agustini guy already?”

So the controversy actually predates the casting, it just brought it back to the forefront.

I have seen the music video ad for this product and now I’m inflicting it on the rest of you.

Edit: Ah someone else already got it, I didn’t see their comment at first.

Thank you! And no, genetic heterochromia in dogs is harmless. :)

She’s SO floofy, I love her ^^

Like Descartes?

This always reminds me of the Perfectly Normal Beasts from Mostly Harmless.
