So, NYC gets about $100B in federal funds annually. I wonder how much they pay in taxes to the federal government. I’d bet they pay more than they get.

I’m 90% sure that when they said “you yourself”, they actually were referring to Newsom, not to the commenter. I can see how the comment could be taken either way though.

Okay, I didn’t look at the image closely enough. Yes, definitely AI. The knobs look like they’re melting. The buttons are all off-kilter. Non of the text is actual text, just AI blurs.

Everyone is saying it’s a washer. Couldn’t it be a gas dryer? The combination makes a little sense if they’re both gas appliances. Maybe many apartments only have one gas line and this is the easiest and cheapest way to install a dryer. Add it where there is already gas for the stove.

Thank you for providing the extra context. That’s very helpful.

Google and Meta have absolutely had this capability for ages.

Everything about this seems dystopian… That banner, though is icing on the cake…

I used fakespot a lot. It used huristics to attempt to determine how authentic a product’s reviews are. It analyzed the reviews for things like repeated phrases, odd review activity like bragading, and other things. It then gave a letter grade to the veracity of the reviews and an “adjusted” aggregate review score after removing any reviews that it considered to be suspicious.

I’m going to miss fakespot. I don’t know how accurate it was but it definitely informed my decisions.

Ah, I guess I missed that part when reading. So, they’re likely cooperating with investigations of other cartels.

I have a few questions:

• Why?
• How long will they be here?
• How big was the bribe?

I got back in touch with a friend of mine who who graduated in the same class as me with a B.S. in Physics. When they learned that I’m an atmospheric scientist, their first question was “What’s the deal with Chem trails?”

Point being, conspiracy theories also infect the educated sometimes.

That just seems like good advice for any law enforcement interaction. If that is grounds for arrest, we’ve fallen even farther than I thought already and I thought we’d fallen pretty far.

I think the disagreement here is semantics around the meaning of the word “lie”. The word “lie” commonly has an element of intent behind it. An LLM can’t be said to have intent. It isn’t conscious and, therefor, cannot have intent. The developers may have intent and may have adjusted the LLM to output false information on certain topics, but the LLM isn’t making any decision and has no intent.

I don’t really disagree with you. It’s dumb to go out of your way to block an OS that probably works just fine.

That said, the answer is probably “lawyers” and an attempt to limit liability. People rely on the course materials to work. If they don’t want to out the effort into testing to ensure that their software works on Linux, even if it would probably be fine, they may want to limit the possibility of being sued by someone when it somehow screws up their semester.

So, they out up a soft barrier that says “this may not work right” but let you use it anyway. They have deniability if something goes wrong while the savvy Linux user probably just laughs and changes their user agent.

Essentially, no one is hurt and the lawyers are happy.

Be Shapiro is a shit head and deserves all the flack that can be hurled at him. Where does the no chin thing come from, though? He seems to have a pretty normal chin.

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted. You are 100% right. Abrego Garcia is an El Salvadorian national who is here under a legally protected status and who is married to a citizen.

He shouldn’t have been deported without due process, but he also isn’t a US citizen.

Marriage does not grant citizenship. It is an expensive and complicated process to get citizenship for a foreign spouse.

Ummm, no, he is not a citizen. He was here under a legal protected status because a judge recognized that he was in danger if he returned to El Salvador.

Garcia is still a citizen of El Salvador.

He shouldn’t have been deported without due process, but marriage to a citizen does not automatically grant citizenship.

Thank you, that was very helpful.

Can someone explain this for me? I’m tired and the article is both missing context and full of double negative legal filings and rulings. I’m not sure what actually happened and who is on the side of ending qualified immunity.
