My bank still raised my mortgage by 20% because apparently they can't set up an escrow properly and apparently that's my problem now.

This just happened to me, it's because insurance for the year jumped 30%. 🤯 I don't like it, but it's difficult for the mortgage company to predict that kind of shit. You can change your insurance, and I went looking, but everything I found was even more expensive.

We need to just work on making our own. Then the Vulcans will find us.

Trump loves crypto now? Oh that will guarantee a win.

I know I don't have to say this in present company, but with these kinds of people, it's always projection. Like it can't not be projection. I actually just learned there is a term for it: reaction formation.

Put another way, we can be pretty sure these people are dangerous for children. Very dangerous.

Can't. Google shanked them all with anticompetitive behavior. So instead, I think I will do all I can to punish them for that.

Epicuro is a good example of why God doesn't exist: the universe doesn't make any sense if God exists. It's nonsensical if you try to place any intent on it. If it's simply the chaos of the physical order of matter, then it makes more sense. It's still bizarre that anything should exist at all, but at least you don't have to do the mental gymnastics required to justify its existence in the face of an all-powerful deity.

I think where it shines is in helping you write code you've never written before. I never touched Swift before and I made a fully functional iOS app in a week. Also, even with stuff I have done before, I can say "write me a function that does x" and it will and it usually works.

Like just yesterday I asked it to write me a function that would generate and serve up an .ics file based on a selected date and extrapolate the date of a recurring monthly meeting based on the day of the week picked and its position (1st week, 2nd week, etc) within the month and then make the .ics file reflect all that. I could have generated that code myself by hand but it would have probably taken me an hour or two. It did it in about five seconds and it worked perfectly.

Yeah, you have to know what you're doing in general and there's a lot of babysitting involved, but anyone who thinks it's just useless is plain wrong. It's fucking amazing.

Edit: lol the article is referring to a study that was using GPT 3.5, which is all but useless for coding. 4.0 has been out for a year blowing everybody's minds. Clickbait trash.

Wasn't this just a "hard landing" yesterday? Or is this a different event?

He's actually worse than a broken clock. Even twice a day when he manages to be right, he's wrong - because he's so phenomenally stupid.

What a coward. The country can go fuck itself, so just own up to it you pussy. But no no, he's all "my wife did it." So not only can we go fuck ourselves, we're also rock stupid.

You said the words I was thinking!

I'm not reading all that. I just need one answer from any suit at Mozilla: are you going to sell us out or not.

Uhhh... there's a million videos of normal people who aren't using Michael Myers masks and a creepy voice changer who can explain to you why Jehovah's Witnesses are shit.

So... they think it will... vaccinate them?

Ah yes, the old "do criminal shit and then when you're held to account for your criminal shit, scream loudly about how they're trying to 'silence' your voice" routine. We know it well.

I bet Kristi Noem wouldn't have stood for this.

Name one nasty lie you sack of shit.

Milkman Dan!

No, not really. The thing is, Johnson is exactly like MTG only not completely fucking stupid. He knows you cut deals now so that you can still be around when MAGA-world needs a sure bet to attempt to overturn the 2024 election results (only if Trump loses, of course).

If he believes that Zoom is generating a background for him (say... because its fuzzy around his head), without giving any thought to whether or not the background might represent the actual real room the guy currently sits in, then he does have a justified true belief. But he lacks the knowledge that it is actually the guy's room and that the background would be the same whether Zoom was acting as an intermediary or not.
