Guess the “Free Speech Absolutist” in charge of Twitter was too busy heiling hitler to step in huh.

This is what I have been hoping LLMs would provoke since the beginning.

Testing understanding via asking students to parrot textbooks with changed wording was always a shitty method, and one that de-incentivizes deep learning:

It allows for teachers that do not understand their field beyond a superficial level to teach, and to evaluate. What happens when a student given the test question “Give an intuitive description of an orbit in your own words” answers by describing orbital mechanics in a relative frame instead of a global frame, when the textbook only mentions global frame? They demonstrate understanding beyond the material which is excellent but all they do is risk being marked down by a teacher who can’t see the connection.

A student who only memorized the words and has the ability to rearrange them a bit, gets full marks no risk.

This comment is uninformed and I appreciate any corrections or education:

I thought Iran already had nukes, so the attack made no sense: Attacks on nuclear weapons facilities are prettly much “launch nukes” in any nuclear doctrine in any nuclear country.

But apparently they have just been working on them, and are allegedly a few weeks off from making their first?

It still seems like a suicidal move. Attacks on production typically slows or delays, but won’t delete or reverse anything. Iran hurrying up the programme and going on full nuke alert ready to fire if a bird in the sky twitches wrong seems like a very possible outcome.

No idea what you based those claims on, but the spec itself (I have the pdf) and Wikipedia’s summary disagree. ISO8601 allows for YYY-MM-DD yes but it allows for a bunch of silly stuff.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

Both “2025-W24-4” and “2025‐163” are valid representations of today’s date in ISO8601.

(Also the optional timezone makes it utterly useless.)

While a fucking stupid concept, it’s nice that this particular format has a monetary deterrent.

MM/YY for me. People can figure out the day of month themselves.

Microsecond precision is fine for most use cases, but I teach my kids to use nanoseconds.

After all the self-important blowhards in the committe were satisified that they had put their fingerprint on the ISO8601 document with bullshit like “year-month-week” format support and signed off, they went home.

The rest stayed behind, waited a few minutes to be safe, and then quickly made RFC3339 like a proper standard.

This is what RFC3339 vs ISO8601 feels like.

Remember media bubbles are different in different countries.

The nordic media are pretty intensely hostile to Israel already and have been for years.

Harming a famous swede on a clear peaceful mission would go nuclear.

I wish we’d stop allowing them to be referred to as “rubber bullets”, which sounds sorta safe.

These things are metal slugs that break bones and rupture organs. They can crush your skull and kill you outright:

I’ve partied all day since sunrise leave me alone

• Ok, so is it correct to say it has some rotation properties?
• Hahaha, oh no. Nonononono. No. Not at all correct no. However, it’s the best we’ve got so yeah that’s what we’re going with.

Not much but people will look at you funny.

He will forget by tomorrow.

Lack of official support for a lot of devices does not make it “not released”.

I can get it right now and install it on an AMD 'puter. I expect to manually install some drivers at least to get it fully working, but since the base OS is Arch, that’s pretty explored territory.

They are “fucking with” NATO, historically, but not attack. Lots of “im not touching you im not touching you” on the borders and north sea. Military submarines where they are not supposed to be. Sudden declarations of artillery practice in international waters causing ship travel to reroute, then not actually doing practice…

Ah, they found it. Was wondering who went in to downvote all the discussion.

Anyhoo “haters gonna hate” is supposed to mean that you are succeeding despite the criticism.

It doesn’t really have the same bite while still begging.

Their admin tried to advertise it to !gaming yesterday, by linking to his community for downloading malware posing as pirated AAA games.

I kept an unreasonably open mind and went to look though the site, and it seemed hopeless as a concept. Especially their statement that they could not reconcile moderation with free speech, shows that they aren’t mentally equipped to run a site.

“Q: Will this site be overrun with racists?”, “A: If people offend you, block them. If a community is dominated by people you don’t get along with, leave it.”

Yeah buddy that’s exactly the decision we make for your entire site.

The phrase “migrate to web3” is an absurdist joke. It’s something I would say to prank a colleague.

Nuclear is less expensive and more scalable than solar, wind, hydro.

It does not boil the planet like fossil fuels.

Yes it takes time and money to set up, but that’s a short term cost.

This is assumed to be widely known, so critical questions that don’t take that into account are assumed to be either in bad faith or laziness.
