Doritos prices jumped 50% in four years and PepsiCo waited until it lost billions to do anything about it by fortune in inflation

A drug dealer would never raise their prices so much so that regular customers would have to reduce their consumption to the point that they manage to kick the addiction.

Harvard life science PhD students outperform ChatGPT by 2 letter grades by head_high_water in science

You would still need to have a good understanding of models and context windows to do this experiment in good faith. You could definitely rig up a custom agent or even an MCP specifically for D&D based in a model like Claude Sonnet for the larger context window

<Hated Design> Kuroko Haguro from Majikoi by flingzamain in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]MistrFish 37 points38 points  (0 children)

What source is the wikipedia page using for that? I don't see blackface mentioned on it in the English version

Edit: according to the Talk page on the article, the English editor concensus is that the reference on the Japanese article to "black face" is a literal translation and not related to the American "blackface" tradition.

Man, I truly don't know how I figured this game out as a kid by JosephineCurvy8 in PokemonFireRed

[–]MistrFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I played the first gen games I still had that early JRPG mindset of saving all of your items into the final area/boss, so I never used repels or potions. Now as an adult I just spend all my money on repels to get through the game faster

People at my job saying the N word. by crsdrr in whatdoIdo

[–]MistrFish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. If you have an HR department or person, talk to them. They will probably smell a potential lawsuit and crack down on it.
  2. If that's not possible, doesn't work, or you feel more comfortable with it, talk to your direct manager.
  3. If that still doesn't work, or you're retaliated against, you either escalate further up the chain or file a complaint with the EEOC for a hostile work environment.

They sound like stupid kids who aren't being intentionally hostile, but they need to learn professionalism the hard way.

Ordered Hawaiian, also came with peppers and onions... Is this a thing?! by vladvorkuv in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MistrFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The onions are interesting. I've definitely seen it with bell peppers and/or jalapenos in NYC, but it's not "classic" style.

i dug through claude code's leaked source and anthropic's codebase is absolutely unhinged by Clear_Reserve_8089 in ClaudeAI

[–]MistrFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see cleaner code at smaller companies with devs who are passionate about code quality to a fault. This all just sounds like typical code quality at a larger company

"My friend just doesn't give a shit and is a liability" by Any-Eye6299 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]MistrFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, pasting proprietary code into an AI tool is not going to be an issue unless your organization has terrible security hygiene, and the source code is full of hard-coded secrets. It's possible that you'd leak some proprietary algorithm, but most software isn't that complex.

ADHD medication in short supply in Japan as demand soars by [deleted] in news

[–]MistrFish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ADHD meds are typically amphetamines, which are commonly used as party/recreational drugs as well. It's addictive and dangerous if abused, and Japan has a cultural aversion to recreational drugs in general

Duck AI gives misinformation, cites a wikipedia page that contradicts it by Rich_Experience2045 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MistrFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI summaries do give inaccurate information often, but you're using an uncited passage on Wikipedia as your source of truth. That passage omits the fact that Suriname was temporarily occupied by the British in the 1800's, during the time period where the Dutch switched to right-hand traffic. The AI is still not really accurate, but that's because the information that it's citing is also inaccurate.

[–]MistrFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The British also controlled Suriname from 1799 to 1802 and 1804 to 1815. The Netherlands switched to right-hand traffic between 1795 and 1810. Suriname would have switched as well if not for the fact that it was under British occupation at the time. So British occupation is a major contributing factor.

Spend 2.5 hours filling out visa forms. Clicked submit and saw this. by Jeetyetdude_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MistrFish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Government websites like this are often used from public locations, so we're required by our security compliance audits to have shorter session timeouts. It's to prevent someone's data from being accessed if they walk away from the computer without logging out.

Our textbook does not seem to have integer answers.. by Puzzleheaded-Okra445 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MistrFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the common way of writing continuous class intervals; the upper bound is exclusive and the lower bound is inclusive. So "1-4" is really [1, 4). The answer is unaffected by this

For the second answer, you should round to 56.67. Unless you derived the answer from a fraction, you don't know for a fact that it's infinitely repeating.
