Sounds utterly weird, but I’m intrigued

Oh man, yes. Dream Scenario. It went so very awry when it became clear what it’s actually about.

Seriously cool piece of kit! I have no use for it whatsoever, but can’t help but wish I did.

Actually they misspelled ‘ware’, they’re talking about who the nation’s biggest hero is afraid of.

Ya my little bro is the same. He’ll announce some thing he’s learned and it collapses under the barest scrutiny… I only hope that the rest of us are able to teach him to apply that scrutiny himself. It’s pretty scary how kids just accept shit, if you take that into adulthood… Well, I think we see the results all around us in the world.

It’s an API call which emails a guy who just does it real fast by hand

Yeah it would be nice to see more of the methodology & the raw data tbh, kind of a shame they’ve left it a bit of a black box.

A sample of 8 million cars is more than enough to be representative.

Automation should be a good thing. If we can have things that need to happen be done more efficiently with less work we absolutely should. But we should distribute the results of those efficiency gains fairly, which is where the current system fails.

Then who’s coming up with all the bits that I copy/paste off the internet? The regex dragon?

Very much depends what kind of programming you’re doing. Graphics uses shittons of maths. Data analysis/data science is maths/stats heavy. Other types less so!

yhwh looking suspiciously like an LLM

Rhyming slang isn’t really supposed to be funny, rather obfuscatory. It’s almost like a cipher, so that anyone not in the know doesn’t understand. That’s a theory, anyway.

This one was wild:

In an example they uncovered, a speaker said, “He, the boy, was going to, I’m not sure exactly, take the umbrella.”

But the transcription software added: “He took a big piece of a cross, a teeny, small piece … I’m sure he didn’t have a terror knife so he killed a number of people.”

From picking up and object to mass murder lmao. Not even close!

Simplified view is great on mobile. I just wish you could enable it manually!

I have a colour one, I think the white is pretty white tbh? Or, I mean, it looks like paper. Off-white like a book.

I made a robot which is delighted about the idea of overthrowing capitalism and will enthusiastically explain how to take down your government.

Does it, though? If I lean a little bit left I’m going to vote left, whereas if I lean a lot left then… I’m still going to vote left (or vice versa). Granted, I might vote for a more fringe party then further I lean, but I don’t think a greater divide will reflect in the number of votes particularly.

Yeah I misread before I commented, I didn’t know robot taxis were a thing, Jesus…

Surely you can just take over? You can’t expect the car to run people over for you lol
