We need a new Poe’s Law: Satire or AI?

Thanks for the explanation!

I don’t see a citation or any numbers in the removed comment. (I don’t see any misinformation in it either, tho.)

ISTR in the U.S. the ACLU has won at least some sex-discrimination cases and thus overturned some anti-female-nipple laws. For example, I believe in NY state, women can go topless anywhere men can.

Wikipedia doesn’t back me up. They say the playboy bunny outfits are stylized after the logo, and the logo was approved by Hef because: “The rabbit, the bunny, in America has a sexual meaning; and I chose it because it’s a fresh animal, shy, vivacious, jumping - sexy. First it smells you then it escapes, then it comes back, and you feel like caressing it, playing with it.”

I think the “sexual meaning” he’s referring to is the “breed like rabbits” idiom but … even in that case, there seems to be a little more to it.

Well, I think the general public probably is a bit confused about that. But, I think the disagreement is on the exposure of workers, and the practices around that.

IIRC, nuclear reactors for power have surprisingly high operating costs, even tho the fuel costs are quite low, and most of those costs are radiation controls. (And, no one is saying we need to eliminate controls, just dial them back a bit based on better science of how radiation affects humans.)

In the rare case I do watch a YT video with my phone, I’m using the official YouTube app from Google, because it has all my YT Premium features and can seamlessly Chromecast to many devices.

IIRC, the playboy “bunny” outfits weren’t to make people think about the look or practice of rabbits, but rather to have them think of the alleged promiscuity of rabbits.

There’s a current disagreement about radiation dosing policy right now, too. One side things the current approach is fine, the other believes that we are so overly conservative that we are wasting a lot of resources avoiding doses that are inconsequential. This is most relevant if we want to build and operate more nuclear reactors (e.g. for power), but it might also change some x-ray practices.

But, there are few things that are absolutely safe. You can slip, fall, and die in the shower; you can “poison” yourself by drinking too much water. When a medical professional requests an x-ray, they believe the risk is worth the reward.

The same states spent another 100 years successfully fighting against equal treatment. The war wasn’t about modes of production; it was about the definition of personhood.

(I’m from Arkansas. We’ve got some crazy Christian Identitarian sects that still openly racist, and don’t believe Jesus saved non-whites.)

‘Runaway’ by Sunstroke Project ?

I was expecting the “Rick and Morty” bit where Rick uses complex conditions to slow down and stutter the simulation they (Rick and Jerry) are stuck in.

My ears heard “Careless Whisper”; what do you think he’s playing?

Yep, while I don’t use them myself, I saw the output of the latest models at the beginning of May. While there are some “good” things in it, the vast majority of the output was unnecessary maintenance load or just wrong. And, while the person showing off the output claimed they couldn’t have written the code, I didn’t see anything particularly special.

On top of that, I don’t believe the output of Qwen (or any other coding model) can be distributed without violating a large number of copyrights, so it’s entirely inappropriate for FOSS projects.

Yep. Science says OP is wrong: https://www.acg.aaa.com/connect/blogs/4c/auto/zipper-merge-keeps-traffic-moving

ISTR there being some indication that as speeds increase, merging further away from the “final merge point” can help, but that’s for designing roads with permanent lane reductions, not for temporary lane closures due to construction, accident, etc. But, I also couldn’t find that science when I looked for it.

Well, she glossed over the worst parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwA1VeYpvaM

Yeah, even if they didn’t weight too much, you wouldn’t strap a CRT or 2 to your face due to the various emissions.

Let your kids sit as close to the 80" LED as they want, as long as they aren’t blocking your view. ;)

The live image requires more RAM than that. Try the installer-only media (not the netboot).

Responsible disclosure is a kindness; it is not required–especially if/when the vendor doesn’t act in good faith.

MS shouldn’t be able to silence researchers, but that’s what the industry gets by voluntarily clustering around a single, proprietary service.

I don’t think either party should be compelled to take (or reverse) any action.
