If people stop using WordPress, then presumably that will negatively impact WP Engine, which might be the whole point.

If AI makes some 'thing' look easy, then that 'thing' starts to look cheap.

Papyrus probably best captures that dichotomy >>

The Internet hates Comic Sans because the font is neither tribal nor futuristic.

It really depends on the task, some people are better at speaking a foreign language after they've had a few drinks.

Most first year classes for STEM courses at most universities are very large, highly impersonal, and from what I have seen, often taught by very poor communicators.

Students want to be engaged in their coursework, but the universities aren't there to encourage or support it.

As absurd as having them teach the same course year after year? Why not then just record their lectures and place them online.

Well, that is how AI works.

so, in conclusion, the training data containing 'math' that LLMs have access to is predominantly written as software code, and not as mathematical notation

They could have boosted morale by offering short cooking classes onsite after work hours. Better food and better interactions among coworkers.

Maybe they have a unique set of dietary restrictions.

And here I am wondering why Meta needs a 'government program' for it's employees

They're like Oracle in that they focus their sales activity on the untouchable managers of managers, but their focus is on data integration and data analytics.

I'd argue that legal immigration is changing the US more than illegal immigration because illegal immigration largely originates from other countries in the Americas and therefore more easily fits in with the USA's existing history and culture.

You can get a blood test for indicators of celiac and gluten sensitivity, among other things.

>> the person has symptoms provoked by gluten, but they don’t have evidence of celiac disease

Sigh, it would be useful to know what specific tests for celiac were performed that came back inconclusive or even just stating what doctors consider to be definitive evidence of celiac disease.

Luanti is easy to pronounce and distinct, but it's also vague enough that someone making a game using the Luanti platform will want to name their game something else.

>> in the average you’ll be fitter and live longer

That's sort of the point about low probability events though, it doesn't affect the average but it has a significant impact on the individual.

That is simply not true.

It's a low probability, high impact event in a country with limited public access to affordable health care and very limited access to therapists.

I'd prefer to be asked "loud music, or no loud music?"

karma is a bitch

It would be interesting to run an experiment where everyone in first world countries was able to (and had to) walk to the grocery store to buy their groceries. It seems like that would promote useful exercise while self regulating consumption.

Even among the highly educated, it's shocking how resistant some of them are to written communication.

I used to wonder if there was something wrong with my email, then I considered maybe they were likely busy, indifferent, or lazy, and now I wonder if they are just barely functionally literate so that drafting a response induces a significant mental burden.

So is this the proper form?

-> it's putting the lotion on its skin

I don't know that I have ever seen that in the wild, but probably only because I refuse to accept that it exists.

There is no minimum safe level for lead.

The voicing and delivery matches exactly to Natasha Legero and Moshe Kasher who have a podcast "Endless Honeymoon". Not sure how they feel about it but I'm sure a lot of their audience works at Google.

future podcast:

   "I mean, what's not to like about the new normal?"
   "Yeah! It's both new *and* better!"

"I thought we were stuck in a blender. Now we're saving lives? What?!"
