I feel bad for Indian people. India is one of the most populated countries in the world with an amazing history and culture and all you ever hear is that their men cannot stop themselves from sexually harassing and raping women and their government not only doesn’t do anything to stop that but actively encourages it.

The middle east has some of the most valuable natural resource stores in the world with a large and young population. If they got their shit together they’d be economic power houses. Iran has the world’s largest zinc deposits yet ranks 30th in the world in zinc production.

It’s a lot easier to accept when you absolutely know the people who made your favourite series are gone.

Google translating “aaaaaaaaaaaa” as “ah ah ah ah ah ah” always makes me laugh

Yes! My parents make more than average and I never realized it until I started hanging out with friends as a teenager. I once had a friend who would always come over to play games on my PlayStation/Xbox/Gamecube. I asked him why he didn’t ask his parents for a console and some games since he loved playing mine so much. He just responded “dude…my parents can’t afford it.”

I didn’t get it. How could two people working full time not be able to afford a few hundred dollars? His parents were nice enough to tell me their hourly wages. I then asked my parents for theirs. That’s when I realized the difference. My parents made 3 times what his parents made. When I mentioned this to my parents, they told me it was his parents’ fault for choosing bad jobs. They should have chose to make more money! Obviously! That’s when I learned my parents were rich jerks.

They disabled downvotes because they want to encourage people to post porn of themselves not just to repost stuff. Getting downvoted for posting your own work isn’t encouraging and essentially kills communities before they even start.

Because AI needs a lot of training data to reliably generate something appropriate. It’s easier to get millions of reddit posts than millions of research papers.

Even then, LLMs simply generate text but have no idea what the text means. It just knows those words have a high probability of matching the expected response. It doesn’t check that what was generated is factual.
