lol this guide has me doing nothing but tons of jumping jacks, a few crunches, squats, and way too many wall sit minutes. It might be ok for like… once in a while…? But I’d probably need to repeat several times to get any sort of workout from it, and it wouldn’t be a very effective workout.

Cool idea, but maybe needs more variety so that doesn’t happen. Lunges, planks, up-downs, jump rope, left-right glides, tai-bo punches, high-knee twists, etc. (skip jump rope if this is fully equipment-free) Or like maybe if the letters rotate on the daily or smth.

I find this wholly unsurprising.

All ai projects should be forced to show the entirety of their training data. I don’t give a flying fuck if they want to call it proprietary, they don’t own most of the data in the first place. Even if they bought it, it doesn’t belong to them, just like we don’t own digital movies we buy.

And if even a single piece of that training data doesn’t have proper licensing for that specific use for that specific model, or they are ever found to have withheld any of the data, the model as a whole should be immediately scrapped, along with everything even tangentially derived from it, and the company should be fined fully double whatever amount of money that model generated or one years revenue for the company as a whole, whichever is more (no I don’t care if this leads to bankruptcy, should have thought about that before you stole data), and like use if for affordable housing programs or public schools or something, whatever.

They can try again with clean data, also subject to review. One time. Second time they do the same shady shit, permanently banned from the entire sector.

But regardless, we need to stop rewarding them for this behavior. And we need the consequences to actually hurt or we can expect it to get worse, not better.

… which one is that?

:p

It depends when it launches and goes… viral (sorry…). If there’s a dem in office, it’s a real pandemic and we aren’t doing nearly enough and 10,000 people are dying every second, you lib monsters!! If it’s a repub in office it’s fake news poopvirus and why are you trampling on my poopeating freedums??

It’s often both because funneling! Yay!

I saw him speak the other day and he was totally with it. Like that super old person who lives to be 120 and is sharp as fuck right until their body gives up, but until then they are firy and physically fit.

Nah, send them adrift in international waters. Let them find a new home. Don’t ruin Antarctica.

These’s legitimately important science happening there, and that’s way too much hot air to add to such a fragile environment.

ETA: maybe send them to Cuba. They’d hate that.

Honestly same on both counts.

I’ve never heard of it, looks like the closest one is like 5 hours from me :(

But thanks for the option all the same!

I’m legitimately upset about this one. It’s one of the first “company does something bullshit” that’s actually been actionable for me… and the first that was something I’d done a lot of work to find the “best place” for.

I get compressed wood pellets (sold for horse bedding or pellet stove fuel) there to use as very cheap compostable cat litter, 40lbs is $6, and if you have a good system one bag will fill 4 cat boxes about 4-6 times, so really cost effective and environmentally friendly. It’s like feline pine but not ridiculous expensive.

Next best option is almost twice the price… which is still ok, but man it still hurts…

Considering the super shady practices involved with plasma “donation”, and the fact that it’s used to make very expensive cancer drugs, take your text and good vibes. That’s literally the better outcome.

Most of the world won’t even buy US plasma because of the really lax collection regulations and super sus conditions of most of the plasma centers (basically the fact that it’s paid and on such short turnaround causes a lot of people to game the system, it’s dangerous, and potentially unsanitary/risky.)

Yeah, I know. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, I just roll with it. But I do regret not taking up a lot of the opportunities that I didn’t realize were worthwhile opportunities. I have a tendency to screw myself over, it is what it is. :)

The thing about the tragedy of the commons is that it’s basically bullshit. It’s been debunked as long as it’s been around. It’s privatization propaganda, nothing more.

People have been equitably maintaining commons for literally all of human history, and they are good at doing so within their communities. Social structures to maintain commons without official regulation have been in place for generations without major issues.

An older couple who wanted to retire offered to let me take over their cidery, back when I was doing a lot more homebrew… I declined because I knew nothing about ciders, I’d have needed to relocate, and I was in my last year of college.

Big mistake turning it down, even if I would have needed to relocate. I haven’t been properly stable since.

Bar down the street has free WiFi and food. So probably there. The library is all the way across town, so not a great option for me.

Or there’s another bar close enough to my house that I could probably make an antenna and leech off that. I did that with on base housing back in the day cuz I didn’t want to pay for internet.

You’re the only one saying she would be the same.

Ah alright that makes sense, thanks :)

And here I was using windows in a VM to run rstudio 😪

Times have changed for sure. (Tho I haven’t used rstudio for many years and it may still be unsupported)

Zomg I totally missed this message, I’m sorry, so I guess this is ME checking in on YOU a couple days later ;)

Sorry to hear the glowing didn’t work but thrilled to hear you had a good sleep anyway. That’s hard to come by sometimes :)

Is this one of those things like the GPS trackers they just sort of be plant on your shit by trespassing, and if you find them they typically come to collect them because their cover is blown anyway and they are expensive?

Or is this one of those things that you need to like… actively do things with? From the pics it looks like an active-use device but idk shit about 2004 tech so… (I was an adult, but barely conscious of things)
