I don’t intentionally consume caffeine. No coffee. Only herbal tea. No energy drinks. There might be some in chocolate, but I don’t eat much chocolate.
When I was a kid my whole family were like coffee fiends. Couldn’t get going without a cup. I never wanted to be like that.
NYC. $0. Walk and take transit. Sorry, I’m insufferable about this but it’s really nice.
Bad idea. Fertile ground for abuse, intentional or otherwise. As others have said, it’s hubris to think one or two untrained adults can do professional grade teaching.
All tools are not equally safe nor should they all be publicly available.
A chainsaw is a tool that you might cause harm with if you use it in stupid ways. We don’t give chainsaws out to children. We don’t use chainsaws for cutting dinner.
There are human elements to the problem but that’s not a big reveal.
I don’t think the conservatives really understand the meanings of words
Many of them know they are using words dishonestly. They don’t care. They will say whatever in the pursuit of power.
Some are just legitimately stupid and have no internal consistency beyond emotions.
Surely we’ve all seen the relevant XKCD https://xkcd.com/1217/
Hm maybe I’ll try that. Looks like there’s an android version
Firefox. It’s fine. The ai stuff is concerning , but nothing’s caused me enough pain to switch yet
Seems fair. Was a pretty big fuck up. Might deter others from making similar fuck ups.
That was always a bad idea and feeds my mild Cassandra complex.
No government should be relying on private platforms like that.
The suits at Microsoft are out of their fucking minds.
Yes. They are stupid and don’t deserve their huge paychecks.
They could’ve done basically nothing. Maybe security updates. And they would’ve had a decent brand that kept bringing in money. Their leadership is worse than doing nothing. A dog would make a better ceo.
There are many, many, people that could be granted good bus service without tearing down and rebuilding the world. The problem is political. Every day and every dollar we put into other lesser solutions comes with a large opportunity cost.
Imagine if we’d focused on buses for the past 22 years instead of waymo. How many people could be served by the $16 billion in funding waymo got?
I’d rather live somewhere with buses and trains. You can get places when old and/or drunk, you build a better world for everyone, and you don’t funnel money into shitty privately owned tech companies.
I would be more than willing to carry around my own spoon, fork, and more, if it meant less plastic crap everywhere
Richardson remembers that whenever Ceccanti would emerge from the basement for some air, he would start having “philosophical” talks about “how his work with the AI was telling him he was breaking math and basically reinventing physics”. As she’d listen to him, Richardson would think about the fact that Ceccanti did not have any college or university experience. He had never even taken calculus.
Tangent, but I think this is another facet of why education is important: so people know what they don’t know. I think it’s harder to think you’re reinventing physics when you’ve taken some classes and seen all the work people have already done.
On the other hand, delusions can just be whatever so education isn’t a panacea.
This experience helps users quickly understand content
They really think we’re stupid. Unfortunately, they may be mostly right.
Platforms could moderate their content. They choose not to.
I mean it’s horrible but the only way people change their mind is from social pressure.
I had a coworker that was very right wing and months of talking I got him to accept queer people can be filed under “live and let live”. That was a big improvement from where he started.
That’s the version I heard as a kid
Fare changes usually are slower to change than gas prices for customers at the gas station. Bus fare in NYC is $3, and they can’t just change that day by day. (Unless our new mayor makes the buses free to ride!)
It might be more expensive as energy costs go up, but services aren’t supposed to be run at a profit. The value in a mass transit system is very high.
But there is probably an impact. Now I’m curious about how they decide the fares
