I believe there was a guy at my highschool in 2006 who had a folder with that design. His nickname was danimal. He could name every fish on it.

Jokes on you, I’m not safe offline either!

I’m playing DS2 now. This series is great! The only games like it are indie games, simulation affair. It’s truly unique in the AAA space.

Cockpit was also my nickname back in college.

I’m so down for this sailor content.

She’s got a real Mona Lisa smile. I can’t tell if she’s smiling actively or not in this picture.

I had one like this for years. When you dispose of the old plugs, try and keep the plastic parts. You can cut them some to get the roots out, but at least the top half. You can buy rock wool and other substrates to grow your own seeds, and the plastic part can be handy to keep the new substrate in place.

Have fun! These are really quite easy to use and fun.

The woman is right!

Now that it’s a couple days later, I think I might add a thought to this. It can be invalidating, to have someone ask a victim to empathize with the bully without sufficiently recognizing the victims feelings.

I used to do this sort of thing. I would try to be objective and logical. I learned that this just made my friends feel crazy, like they might be overreacting. I’ve learned to instead start by validating peoples feelings. I try to recognize thier pain, discomfort, and anger first. And, I never blame people for feeling that anger.

I second what the other commenters are saying about forgiveness being for you, not to other person, but can I just rant about how useless it is to say no one can truly be bad? It denies the basic utility of words, in my opinion. If someone is an ass, violent, greedy, etc then they are bad. If they change their ways they are good. We have words to describe greedy, violent, assholes. We call them bad people. Hell, a murderer psychopath? Call them evil. It’s why we have adjectives.

Classic

The joke is your odds of being gainfully self employed.

I wonder if this actually happened to someone or this is the a case of armchair survivalism.

It is? I’d like to read about that

I feel very lucky to work 4 10 hour days rather than 5 8s. Though, it does often feel like a waste of time when we all spend the last hour and a half taking.

It just looked a lot like an AI image classifier.

I don’t expect current ai are really configured in such a way that they suffer or exhibit more than rudimentary self awareness. But, it’d be very unfortunate to be a sentient, conscious ai in the near future, and to be denied fundinental rights because your thinking is done “on silicone” rather than on meat.

Do you mean conventional software? Typically software doesn’t exhibit emergent properties and operates within the expected parameters. Machine learning and statistically driven software can produce novel results, but typically that is expected. They are designed to behave that way.

Really? I mean, it’s melodramatic, but if you went throughout time and asked writers and intellectuals if a machine could write poetry, solve mathmatical equations, and radicalize people effectively t enough to cause a minor mental health crisis, I think they’d be pretty surprised.

LLMs do expose something about intelligence, which is that much of what we recognize as intelligence and reason can be distilled from sufficiently large quantities of natural language. Not perfectly, but isn’t it just the slightest bit revealing?
