19 minutes agoWasn’t this the plot of South Park episode where Kyle’s dad was exposed to be a shitposter on an alt account. Life imitates art.

My assumption is the bias is unintentional, at least partially, and just the priorities of recommendations is weighed heavily to encourage engagement above all else, and stoking fear and anger drives engagement. Also the distribution of content could be a factor. On the right, it seems like everyone is trying to get in on the grift of advertising elk meat or trump coin to exploit their viewers, meanwhile high quality journalism and news is under funded. For every Climate Town or A More Perfect Union, there’s tens or hundreds of right wing fearmongering videos.
Maybe there was a PolyMarket for how many times he said China, and Don Jr. placed a bet for 0 to steal more from everyone.
2·3 days agoI think the lack of author attribution on this article is a hit of AI. Clicking on other articles, they do list the author and don’t have a fake interview tone Question and Answer tone to them.
What is up with the writing style of this article?? Seems like AI Slop, but it’s worse than usual. The Verge article has more details and isn’t written poorly. Check it out and not The Guardian.
1·3 days agoAssuming the laptop you’re looking to control has HDMI out and USB input for Keyboard and mouse, I think you’re right with the KVM switch idea, one that supports USB and HDMI input, and can switch between them between two devices. What I would do is get something which can record HDMI on your main PC. Some gamer devices have HDMI passthrough, which you’d plug into the KVM switch, but you could also use an HDMI splitter to have a feed from the laptop going into the KVM switch and to the recorder on your main computer. On your main computer, you could use OBS Studio to record the video from the laptop.
11·4 days agoThis is anecdotical but I moved into an apartment with a 30 year old ionizing smoke detector, and the failure was it was too sensitive, I assume because there were less electrons being emitted from the radioactive element, any faint smoke caused it to go off. Eventually it got into a state where it would always be in an alert state, and was beeping 100% of the time, which was when the landlord finally replaced it.
My assumption with the 10 year replacement recommendation for Americium based smoke detectors is to replace it before it becomes too sensitive and annoying, because they were worried some people would remove the battery and just live without an active smoke detector.
A lot of people use ads as another way to connect with a new person; meeting a other local to your area means you can mention a particularly overplayed ad from childhood and likely be able to find another person who saw it growing up too.
Do you think this is true for younger generations than millennials? Obviously ads with high production value like matt damon’s fortune favors the brave gets talked about, but I don’t know anyone who makes cultural references to a generic ad on TV or YouTube with average production value. I think for the average advertisement nowadays, there’s too much saturation of content and not everyone watching ads, that you couldn’t have a normal ad like this mundane Sears Air Conditioner commercial be ingrained in kids memories.
5·7 days ago3,000 people over the Brooklyn Bridge before the dedicated bike lane was installed in 2021 is higher than I would have thought. It was basically impossible to bike over the bridge on the shared pedestrian path. This was how it used to be:
38·7 days agoThis is exactly how George Bernard Dantzig proved two previously unproven statistical theorems, when he thought they were homework assignments.
This seems flipped, there’s no way a majority of people like ads.
Maybe it should be Low IQ are people who don’t know what an ad blocker is, and High IQ are people who say ad blocking is unethical.

Maybe the tablet is a physical representation of “AI”, and the plot is Artificial Toy Intelligence vs Artificial Machine Intelligence.
How are they going to have Woody back with the gang after Toy Story 4 when he stayed behind at the carnival while they were on the road trip? Seemed like a fitting ending for the character or to have new adventures with him being kid free.
13·8 days agoIf I were to use an LLM, it would not be to actually upload the PDF and generate the excel document, you’re guaranteed to have made up data if you ask it to do this. What I would do is ask an LLM to write a python script which uses OCR or some other programmatic way to extract the data from the PDF and put it into a CSV to be imported by Excel.
If the PDF has some sort of data aggregation, like a column for a sum of the data in a row, then do not include that in the CSV output, and have excel do the calculation based on the data the script imported. Then you just have to manually check that the values of that column match the PDF to know if there is any wrong data. Obviously if multiple fields are adjusted by bad OCR but negate each other, the sum column would look accurate while the bad data persists, so some more spot checking or additional aggregation would be needed to ensure confidence with the numbers.

Through interviews and videos I’ve seen, they spent a lot of time and effort to not have mechanics like a HUD arrow that guided you to the next objective, but rather had those in the landscape of the world simplifying the design, and creating a sense of curiosity. They also took care to put interesting side quests and hidden items along the way so that players felt like they discovered it on their own.
The boss and shrines being able to be completed out of order was a big departure from resent Zelda games proceeding it which were very linear, and they went back to the original Zelda for inspiration. This was controversial at the time, and not something new outside the series, but really forced the design of the open world to be inviting in some areas and terrifying in others.
