they don’t bring that up for people accused of drug dealing, assault, murder etc nearly as much. almost as if they don’t think rape is a serious crime

need for speed underground for obvious reasons

Stubbs the zombie got me into indie rock

yeah I was going off the driver mentioning there were other opportunities before the video starts. if that were not the case they’re just whining

I don’t identify as a cyclist cause I mostly cycle to get somewhere or touring around on holiday, not to go fast in my lycra suit. that said, I’m on a bicycle several times per week, and in the case where there isn’t enough space for me and a car I generally make way for them when I can.

for one thing it doesn’t cost me anything and I am genuinely the only thing stopping them from being on their way. It’s also just annoying for both parties involved, it’s not nice having a car in your back all the time.

so I get her frustration. it is weird for them not to just make way when the road widens a bit

Merriam Webster has a whole ass article about the broadening of the word couple and how it can mean more than 2

is the plan here to give an llm access to a running instance of the app and just… make changes? fantastic, can’t imagine what might go wrong

it helps relax the pelvic muscles, which helps to fully empty the bladder in general but especially for those with prostate issues. also apparently helps prevent kidney stones somehow

I wouldn’t be so sure, I can totally see trump pressuring officials into putting him on the ballot and just proceeding as if it were normal while the democrats shout its illegal and don’t so anything about it. turns out it doesn’t matter if it’s illegal of everyone in charge just goes along with it anyway

I wouldn’t try unpasteurised cheese from a big US brand, knowing what the hygiene standards and oversight for cattle are like. That said, I’ve regularly eaten unpasteurised cheese from Spain, France and the Netherlands and I don’t think those need to be banned (in the EU or their respective countries). I don’t think they’re comparable to unpasteurised cheese from the US though, especially since the budget cuts to the FDA.

the point is saying unpasteurised cheese is always horribly unsafe is to me wrong. it can be done relatively safely, but in the US currently it will not be done safely.

love typst, way easier to use than latex and fantastic output

why JavaScript? I’d figure CSS would be enough for text transforms

I’ve got to disagree about long pepper, I bought some for some specific recipes and tried some ground up just on steak, tastes great

sure both pagerank and llms can modelled as marlov chains, but the working and output of these models is very different. it’s disingenuous to state that google used llms and their precursors since the beginning. their precursors maybe but they are very different beasts.

as for the complaints, for me a big problem of their use in search engines is that they often hide the sources of the summary they provide and disincentivize people from clicking through to the source sites. This is very much a new problem that didn’t exist before google included output from generative models

given that by LLMs, people generally refer to the transformer architecture, it definitely wasn’t how google always did search. they famously started out by using pagerank. now, back then this was definitely seen as AI, but what gets called ai by the general public has changed over the last couple of decades. now people use it almost exclusively to refer to deep learning models or even just llms.

so yes, in a strict sense google has always used ai for search. but when the general public says AI now, they usually mean llms specifically and using that to replace actually going to the source websites is new

yep, wealth inequality is a big problem. more people should read piketty

I only knew Lunduke from his Linux sucks series and was surprised to see him on this list. so I did a quick search and found lunduke keeps his own ‘software politics tracker’ which of course does not track all politics, but just “woke”, “leftist” and “dei”.

Apparently Gnome just celebrating trans day of inclusion is a bad thing. Ugh. Wish I’d never given that guy my time and attention.

according to him, the Linux foundation also ‘pledged fealty to the UN’. wtf even is that supposed to mean? is this common conspiracy shit or is he completely off his rocker?

Linux can, but all streaming services refuse to serve higher quality on linux

they’re unlikely to lose significant weight simply because they use a bicycle. just like most people who start exercising without putting effort in their diet, any weight loss from exercise would likely be gained again by compensating by eating more. It’s a separate issue in any case, regardless of what life of transportation they use, many westerners should eat less and especially eat less meat

surprisingly, the e-bike has lower emissions in both cases

over an entire day, sure. needing to carry a 1.2l container around all day seems to me overkill. carry a smaller bottle, refill it when needed, drink a glass of water with your meals etc. remember, juice, tea, coffee, coke etc are mostly water and also count towards your water intake
