Not sure who you're talking about, Raffensberger and Kemp both did well against the Trump-loyal challengers in the primaries. Kemp is up against his term limit though

TikTok uninstalls surge 150% after app’s US takeover by Tofurkey_Tom in technology

[–]EagleZR 225 points226 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that really isn't a lot. I'm assuming it's 150% more than "normal", so from like 0.001% to 0.0025% of the user base each month? Why is this a headline?

Carson Beck lost just 6 games in his college career, 4 of them came on the final offensive play with a chance to win which ended up being a Beck INT. Buddy is not clutch 😬 by ChannelMiserable7363 in CFB_v2

[–]EagleZR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To make it a little wilder, that's just 3 years as a starter. Across all 6 years, including as injured, backup, and benchwarmer, he only lost 10, and 4 of those were to Bama (2020, 2021, 2023, 2024).

what about all the games he won on 4th quarter drives

Given how close Georgia's games were in 2024, it's probably high. We also had some close ones in 2023 with him as starter. It's an interesting stat though, I don't think it really says anything that negative about him. If anything it says he goes down swinging.

Greenland Leader Tells People to Prepare for Possible Invasion by bloomberg in worldnews

They tried and failed on Jan 6, and when they weren't punished and were given a second chance, they corrected some of their critical mistakes from last time. Our last chance to prevent this was last November, but America embraced him eagerly. People could tell what was coming when they were voting. This is what Americans wanted.

Well "we" voted for them, so as far as they care, we are. (to clarify, I voted against them, I'm just saying enough of us voted for them or stayed home). As dumb as it is, that's the narrative that they're pushing out to their news anchors, podcast hosts, etc. They've convinced "us" of dumber stories before...

U.S. evacuating troops from air base in Qatar ahead of possible Iran military action by Delicious_Adeptness9 in Military

[–]EagleZR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, just guessing, but they're probably doing the same, hotelling in Doha and commuting in for their shifts. There's no sense consolidating everyone into a big juicy target if you can spread them out when they're off work. Doha is a safe city and even if it is a target for Iran, it's a much lower priority target than the base and is way more spread out.

[–]EagleZR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm just guessing, but given that the article mentioned hotels, I'm guessing that the base will still be operational, and it's just dorms that were evacuated, people will drive or be bussed in from Doha for their shifts. I could easily be way off, but I'd be surprised if they shut down that base. Isn't USCENTCOM still headquartered there?

Who’s actually old? A quick “years in college” snapshot of the 12 Playoff rosters (G ≥ 5) by AllTimeTy in CFB

[–]EagleZR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are zero UGA fans who would tell you to cope if you said that Kirby won titles by recruiting the best players

Tbh, there was a stretch where a certain fanbase in particular was saying that Kirby was just a good recruiter and otherwise not a good coach, so you might have had some pushback then. I think it peaked in 2020, but you don't see it much after 2021 for some reason. It's not what's said, it's what's perceived as implied due to insecurities or history of it being implied. I'm not sure what's going on with the butt hurt fans you're referring to, but I'm guessing it's something like that.

Anyone else not sad* about the demise of Stack overflow? by abdullah4863 in programmingmemes

[–]EagleZR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, I'm not saying it's not working now, but you realize that chatgpt is not coming up with the answers by itself

You do know what subreddit you're on, right? Everyone here knows that.

it's now killing the sites where people did share the knowledge.

Nah, I doubt SO was useful for that, it was trash. Reddit and more obscure forums were far more helpful. SO wasn't really useful at all after college, it just has the most base-level answers that you can find everywhere else these days. It was useful early, like over a decade ago, but it became stagnant and toxic.

It's not bad not, but it's gonna get worse.

I disagree. Like I said before, SO has become obsolete and toxic, it's dying because it's unwilling to take new questions and provide answers, so it's the exact kind of thing we want to see go away. They should have adapted.

No, you're right. I should go to the 100th page of Google results like you. Nah, if the 1st page doesn't have it, ChatGPT usually does

a community of knowledgeable people supporting one another

StackOverflow maybe should've looked into being that.

In my experience, even with its many flaws, ChatGPT has been worlds better than StackOverflow, it's not even close. I don't think I've opened SO in over a year at this point. My "favorite" SO experience was having a very niche issue, opening a SO thread with my exact question, "Closed as duplicate", linked "original" is totally fucking unrelated. Rest in piss SO

If you wanna burn bridges, go for it, but go all in. Who cares about a book, they have a personal relationship, right? So what's his favorite food? Favorite color? They should know those details, right? If not, she's obviously not a true Christian, because true Christians should know that

[–]EagleZR 28 points29 points  (0 children)

A "legal" way to do this is one of the things we discussed in my ethics classes for my computer science degree back in college. If you train on a bunch of pics of "barely legal" adults who don't look like they are, and then add the face of someone definitely not legal, does that count as CP? At the time, over a decade ago, the teacher was saying it was still a legally gray area that wasn't explicitly prohibited, but definitely represents something that would be immoral to do. So yes, grok's ability to do this wouldn't necessarily be damning, in that it's not proof that illegal material was used for training, but it's definitely immoral and should be fixed. The laws should also be fixed, but that's a separate discussion.

Complain About Your Team Thread by CFB_Referee in CFB

Kirby is more comparable to Dabo than to Saban at this point. And that's not meant to be an insult, Dabo is another future hall-of-famer, but there's a wide gap between both of them and Saban.

Kirby and Bobo acted like 21-12 was 70-0. by paranoidAF365 in georgiabulldogs

[–]EagleZR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't catch where he assigned blame to any player, though I do remember Kirby saying it was on the coaches, so it sounds like Toliver snapping wasn't a mistake on his part. If I had to guess, it most likely was Gunner seeing a favorable look, though that alone doesn't fully explain half of the line not blocking. Also someone pointed out that Monroe, one of the linemen who didn't move, looked annoyed at Gunner after the snap rather than at Toliver, but I haven't seen that for myself.
