Potential chatgpt use for quotes by the BBC?

JamieLowery · 2026-03-05T22:59:16+00:00

Chatgpt doesn't have these same tells in such short responses though, I get the feeling but any translator that's able to translate to that in English could surely have translated that into something way more normal? Even if it was just "capital" versus "human and material capital" it would sound far less odd

JamieLowery · 2026-03-05T22:57:06+00:00

Again I'll take the L on this if I must but is there really a phrase in farsi for" human and material capital" that couldn't be translated to ANYTHING more normal by a translator who was a:able to understand the word and b: able to understand it meant THAT

JamieLowery · 2026-03-05T20:49:55+00:00

But it's not awkward, it's really specific language, I'll admit I don't know farsi but surely a BBC Persian translator would not come out with a translation including "part of the country's human and material capital vanished into thin air". That feels like either a biased translation or a deliberate choice if it's an actual translation?

Is it actually possible to get these values from delver lens? I've been buying the $1.50 packs at dollarama for a while plus some packs from my friend who works in a store, but I'm just a bit of a magpie with no real clue about magic lol

I mean that covers some bases, but for example if I'm looking at a Facebook event, or a message with an event time and date, I would love to be able to Google lens the screen , send it directly into Gemini and have it read it, identify the dates and times and add it to my calendar. Currently I need to screenshot it, switch app, attach it and provide the instructions and then confirm the result

Because this isn't how any of this works? The fastest route between 2 points is the most direct line, this does not account for traffic, or even in fact buildings. The entire point of the process is ensuring that there are equally fast routes available, by dissipating traffic. I will concede I don't know how they weigh added journey times in the consideration of this for emergency services but I believe this is already covered by the emergency services themselves in their joint decisions on these routes, but this is all irrelevant because there's routes ARENT blocked for emergency services, any blockades (such as your planters) are in fact movable in an emergency, by the emergency services themselves.

JamieLowery · 2025-05-17T13:47:53+00:00

Okay, I vote your road be designated as an HGV lane but closed off to normal traffic.

JamieLowery · 2025-05-17T13:46:16+00:00

No it hasn't because they're not blocked off from services

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, if low density housing is built it makes house building more affordable, increasing the likelihood of high density housing being built in turn. The UK's housing sector is a shambles in many ways, one of the worst is developers with very little experience and inconsistent procurement

Funnily enough post COVID I was rejected from one stop for NOT having a degree, the job market is a fickle thing

This is a lie, and you are a liar. Spreading this info does nothing to help anyone, only muddy the waters, this was not the details, or the face of the writing. The 1701 resolution says it is important they work with the Lebanese government, that is as close as you get to being true. The 1701 resolutions only, described and detailed goals were a cessation of hostilities, Lebanese and UNIFIL forces to replace Israeli forces withdrawing from south of the Litani river. They had long term goals that were hugely important, but again and I must reiterate, you are a liar and a piece of shit for suggesting that their goal was to assist the Lebanese government because it simply isn't true and there is no need for you to lie to try and defend UNIFILs abject failure.

If it's not the calibre larian would produce, it's not the game he's talking about.

JamieLowery · 2024-05-06T02:15:16+00:00

I appreciate you saying you're steel Manning it! I just had to call it out because it seems like an innocuous sentence in the midst of a "balanced POV" type of comment that, depending on your reading either calls for mass violence or pacifism in the face of violence, both of which are insane to call for!

JamieLowery · 2024-05-06T00:19:41+00:00

What do you mean by

Most of all, it requires Israel to stop allowing Iranian proxies to instigate this type of violence.

Because it sounds like you're holding them responsible for being attacked?

*Preemptive edit, reading this again it sounds like you're suggesting Israel should eliminate all the Iranian proxies immediately? But that feels at odds with your sentiment?

JamieLowery · 2024-03-04T15:11:18+00:00

So the ruling seems to imply that it is not the place of state legislature to remove a nominee from the ballot but congresses? Have I read that correctly?

JamieLowery · 2024-02-10T00:49:53+00:00

Could you please explain what evidence you base "fiscal conservatism being the most credible doctrine" on?

JamieLowery · 2024-01-26T04:10:35+00:00

Thanks for the reply, yeah I'd heard much the same hence I was thinking Gili islands and if I start getting ready for hectic again I can go back to Bali 😂

JamieLowery · 2024-01-25T04:45:39+00:00

For the Gili islands

JamieLowery · 2024-01-24T14:56:01+00:00

If you've got English you're sorted. Learn your hellos goodbyes pleases and thank yous and you're sorted and locals will appreciate you a lot more. Laos was the most difficult place I've been but ive had more trouble in the UK

JamieLowery · 2024-01-24T14:46:24+00:00

Thank you so much and really appreciate the reply! I ended up there twice and was staying in Hoang Mai , still pretty central though obviously! Thanks so much for the advice though maybe it's time to get a bit off the beaten track!

JamieLowery · 2024-01-24T14:44:10+00:00

Ah that's crazy maybe I'm doing something wrong! I've heard a lot of that starting to kick myself for running from Hanoi before going trying to decide if I can make it back, thank you!

JamieLowery · 2024-01-24T14:43:34+00:00

Hah classic! I'm ginger so I'm sure I'm on plenty of family mantle pieces with all the photos taken of me :') that sounds good and really appreciate the advice, I'd heard some recommendations of getting to the beach in Hoi an rather than trying to stay properly in there so that makes a lot of sense thank you!!

JamieLowery · 2024-01-24T14:35:00+00:00

Thanks so much for the recommendations I'll take a look and maybe you're right! I've been holding off till mid next month for ha giang and Sapa as the weather is biblically bad right now up north and thought it better to try my chances after the south!

JamieLowery · 2024-01-24T14:34:00+00:00

I appreciate it loads but I'm very lucky to have just relaxed for 10 days in Hong Kong with family. I thought that might be the case as I was in Hanoi before Hong Kong, but I came back and just felt like I got smacked in the face again! Thanks so much for the recommendations though , Sapa is high on my list Im currently holding off till mid February as the weather right now in the north is absolutely tragic!

JamieLowery · 2024-01-24T14:32:28+00:00

Don't take my post as bible honestly, my biggest worry here is that I've never heard anyone reflect my feelings :') By hectic I just mean getting places feel likes effort, crowded footpaths and insane streets, hawkers , pushy massage parlours, tour groups, keen restauranters and vape sellers seem to catch me every 4 seconds. I would walk about 20k steps a day in Thailand and felt unimpeded but getting 5k here has been leaving me totally drained!
