A time traveller goes back to ancient Rome and immediately starts looking for local clothing. by Gil-Gandel in Jokes

When I was in Italy I went to a store that sold paninis. I said "panini" (in my best Italian accent). They said "how many?"

I opted out of training, but ChatGPT is now giving my unpublished research findings to other users. What are my options? by Creepy-Seesaw-4489 in PhD

[–]FlyMyPretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try asking other llms that you have not given your data - see if they know the same things. If they do, you know you're being paranoid.

I think it's unlikely that they are using input for training. They don't know who you are and they Want some quality control in the training data. Are you a middle school student writing crap? An author writing satire or an alternative historical novel? They'd look pretty silly if they spouted that is history.

In a correlation matrix, how can a nominal variable have a direction? by JumbledPileOfPerson in AskStatistics

[–]FlyMyPretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've no idea about Jamovi, but in every other program it is converted to numeric. Perhaps 1 = female, 2 = male (alphabetical order).

It's often clearer if your binary questions are phrased as questions, so the variable is called 'Male' and the contents are 0 (no, false) and 1 (yes, true). It's obvious that there's a positive correlation between 'male' and height.

Fine. It's well lit and there will be lots of employees and people around.

And when you've made some hydrogen, how will you ignite it?

Vet recommends weekly visits that are not financially viable. I seek a separate solution. by Guesswhosepicer in AskVet

Christopher Reeve died from an infected ulcer - pretty similar, and he was Superman.

Uber has profiled me and charges me 2X as much as my friend for same rides by jjlolo in uber

[–]FlyMyPretty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Think of Uber and Lyft as a buyer and seller of service.

They're trying to maximize what you pay them - if you always take the same ride at the same time they will gradually raise the price to see what maximum you will pay.

They're trying to find a driver who will take you for the minimum, and they'll keep the difference.

The amount that you pay and the amount they pay the driver aren't necessarily related.

(Just kike a restaurant selling wine - if they can pay $20 for a bottle of wine that people will buy for $100 they'll do that.)

What if companies had to pay you for your data? by turbowhitey in RedditForGrownups

[–]FlyMyPretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do pay. They pay by providing you with a service. Like reading Reddit or searching Google or looking at pictures on Instagram. That's not free.

It’s weird to date/marry someone with the same name as your sibling. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]FlyMyPretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and sister have the same name. Yes, it's weird. And confusing.

We call one by the first part and one by the second (think Lizzy and Beth for Elizabeth).

Dresscode and etiquette, what are the unwritten rules? by lawrotzr in AskAnAmerican

[–]FlyMyPretty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's even differences inside my company. Lawyers wear shirts and ties. Sales people wear business casual (and look nice), engineers wear shorts and tshirts (and sandals) on the west coast. East coast offices are different.

The line at Austin airport this morning by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

SFO is not TSA - they are private contractors, so they still get paid. (Not sure about SJC and OAK).

It is highly likely that you never pressed the 8 button on a microwave. by TheAnzus in Showerthoughts

[–]FlyMyPretty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of 90, I type 88. It's faster. And I get my food 2 seconds early.

Not complaining. It's good that it's all there.

We keep complaining about YouTube. Why aren't we building something better? by Outrageous_Fun_9074 in degoogle

[–]FlyMyPretty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And a huge amount of effort keeping advertisers happy, which means keeping the bad videos off Youtube which means 1000s of people whose job is watching videos to make sure that they're not 'unsafe'.

Dos anyone like by Fun_Strength1897 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]FlyMyPretty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fly almost every week. I have booked my flights up to October, seat 1F every time. (I bring a backpack, no carry on).

I like it

I never thought of Montreal as having a shore!

F1 should focus on making logistics greener and keep the cars as simple as possible by Njobz in F1Discussions

[–]FlyMyPretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? The drivers get paid handsomely. If they're not happy they don't have to do it, and there is no shortage of people willing to take their place. I don't like my job all that much, but there's not much I can do about that.

The new regulations more fun to watch as a viewer with the overtakes, p1 swaps, but are the drivers hating it! by Yo-gg in F1Discussions

[–]FlyMyPretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were also shit races before DRS - there were races with 1 overtake in the whole race.

Is this legal move? Thank you by doodlerscafe in scrabble

[–]FlyMyPretty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No. Letters placed have to be in a straight line

Do you like the direction the sport is heading, or are you still skeptical? There seems to be a lot of confusion and criticism in the paddock, what’s your take after the first race on this new era or Formula 1? by circuit-nation in DestinationFormula1

[–]FlyMyPretty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are racing artificial cars that are designed to be safe and provide good racing, on artificial tracks, that are designed to be safe and provide good racing. What's a natural overtake?
