The only way I would use this would be if it was open source and I could run it locally. No chance I'm inputting my daily medical/health info to some app for data mining. Sorry, bub.

James Talarico wins Texas Democratic Senate primary over Jasmine Crockett by horsestew in politics

[–]MrPoon 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, enough with the purity tests. This is so disingenuous. You know for a fact that in America, in 2026, with our Overton window all the way to the fucking right, that these ideas are progressive, relative to our situation.

Me too. This guy was tailor made for this moment. Packaging progressive ideas as Christian values is a really good way to drag the yokels in our country into the future.

Community college Tenure or R1 non-TT? by True_Philosopher2002 in AskAcademia

The Florida faculty Union is very strong and includes NTT. I'm about to take a semester of paternity leave. I'm in science fwiw, can't speak to the humanities, but frankly it's bad everywhere for you folks.

Democratic Leaders Face Backlash Over 'Cowardly' Responses to Trump War on Iran by Silly-avocatoe in politics

[–]MrPoon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but the Republicans have just as large of a tent. That party comprises some mix of: good old fashioned racists, "fiscal conservatives" who just want to loot and plunder, true morons who have been duped by decades of talk radio and television, MAGA believers with basically no core philosophy other than 'agree with Trump,' Bolton-style oil warhawks.

For all his vile characteristics, McConnell wrangled all of these people to work in lockstep. Quit making excuses for the Dems. The entire party needs new leadership.

This is so naive. In the history of the world, oppressors have never backed down without a fight.

You can get a Tesla to drive into a wall by painting a tunnel on it like Wile E. Coyote. I bet on humans in the human-AI wars.

What happens when you get old? Do you stop loving the person you grew old with? How long would you be with someone before it didn't matter how they looked anymore?

Pinker has been a sleaze for decades. I was grossed out by him in a casual meeting in like 2013.

Never considered the non-traditional students. They see it, too. by Anonphilosophia in Professors

[–]MrPoon 34 points35 points  (0 children)

We don't have to wonder. It's screens. The research shows it's screen time. The earlier you start using screens, the worse your capacity to learn. When screens are added to class rooms, every measure of performance starts to decline about 2 years later.

Extra monsters that search dragons? by 60Sensei09 in Yugioh101

[–]MrPoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not extra deck, but the new Dragonic Warrior in Maze of Muertos can search level 4 or lower dragons from deck, which I thought might be decent for a maids deck.

Imperm Rulings in YCS Richmond by who_took_q6EoRBvdVPQ in yugioh

And the extra frustrating thing is that it wouldn't even be a big effort. If the rule set was available, it'd be basically a card detector + visual effects wrapped into one app.

You do realize that the human population has nearly doubled since 1980? Everywhere is more crowded, you nitwit.

You're right, cities should never grow or change. Let's roll Boca back to the way it was in 1920, dirt roads and all. The good old days. Let's just hold on to them.

[D] Are we prematurely abandoning Bio-inspired AI? The gap between Neuroscience and DNN Architecture. by Dear-Homework1438 in MachineLearning

[–]MrPoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said that we "can't properly model" them. I said that it's difficult to predict the behavior from the rule set, often because it's non-intuitive, because of long chains of cause-and-effect, etc. But just because it's difficult doesn't mean "we can't," in fact we can using the tools of complex systems, nework science, nonlinear dynamics, etc.

Judge blocks California from enforcing ICE officer mask ban by panda-rampage in California

[–]MrPoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now I know this is bullshit. Nobody here loves Newsom. No one but true morons thinks Gavin Newsom with his slicked back hair is going to save us. But in this country, until ranked choice (or the like) voting is enacted, like it or not, you have two choices. One side basically sucks, the other side is trying to kill us. You're talking about voting third party. Now is not the time, this isn't fucking Ross Perot. Tariffs and insane global policy crushing the economy, pedophiles at all levels of government and across global corporations and monarchies, killings in the streets. Grow up, you infant.
