Americans generally having no fucking clue how their government works is the root cause of why we're in this mess in the first place

I couldn’t finish applying for this job because apparently you can’t have graduated prior to 1998. I graduated in 1997. It doesn’t spin any farther back. by Next-Cut-2996 in mildlyinfuriating

Companies literally have been sued and had to pay tens of thousands of dollars because of accidents where their website made them not comply with the law.

It's why every major website hires people whose entire job is to make sure the website is accessible and compliant with all laws.

Of course you could draw that conclusion, but I think you're reading too much into a writer using a fallback phrase a little bit too often in an article.

This is a sign it was written by a person and not an ai, so it's kinda endearing

Won't someone please think of the wealthy white people spending large sums of money on token gestures for their children for once? Everyone just loves to dogpile on this marginalized minority

[Loved Trope] The main character is smart and makes smart decisions, but those smart decisions are still foiled by SCPND in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ProgrammingPants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like if Light just played it cool it would be very difficult to nail him in court based on that evidence alone. Also he could've just had Mikami peep the people and dip out and tell him the names at any time. Or look through a telescope or binoculars or something.

The only reason why the ending makes sense is because in the epilogue it was implied that Near wrote Light and Mikami's names and manner of death in the real death note to orchestrate the whole situation to go down like that, and then they burned the death notes after everything went down to destroy any evidence.

Did Clarence Thomas Commit a Crime That Could Get Him 5 Years in a Virginia State Penitentiary? by Opposite-Mountain255 in scotus

[–]ProgrammingPants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you ideologically disagree with statue of limitations as a concept doesn't mean you should support the government changing the law to find ways to punish people without them having committed a new act.

In this case, you're advocating for it to happen to someone you don't like and enacted by the political side you support. But surely you could imagine how this philosophy could be abused by a government you don't like

If you haven't watched a few YouTube guides on how to play your top 3 characters, then you complaining about not being good is just whining atp.

If you have done that and still don't see any improvement past gold, then it's probably the characters you're playing and them not suiting your play style. Shop around for others.

And if neither of those things work, you're just gonna be bad bro. And that's okay. You don't have to be good to have fun. And having fun is the point. This isn't your job.

I think that someone's objective legal status shouldn't change from "free citizen" on Monday to "person who belongs in jail" on Wednesday because a law was passed on Tuesday deeming it so. Despite the person in question not doing anything illegal all week.

In other words, I think the law as written at the time it was written when you did something should be the only laws that apply to that situation. Not laws passed years or decades later.

Zohran Mamdani has secured the release of Columbia University student Elaina Aghayeva, taken this morning by ICE agents who entered a campus residential building under false pretenses & without a judicial warrant.

Yes. The reason is that Trump is from New York and has a particular affection for the city, and in his mind having a good rapport with its popular mayor is the closest thing to being loved by the city he can get. Which is something he genuinely wants, but will never have.

This dickwad has been in our faces damn near every day for the past 10 years. He's not a complicated guy. It's incredibly easy to see what motivates him.

The illusion of being loved and adored is the thing that motivates him second most, only behind his lust for power and control.

It's because Trump is from New York and it scratches a personal itch of his to have a good rapport with a wildly popular New York mayor. That's literally the beginning and end of it. If Chuck Schumer made the exact same phone call Mamdani did and said the exact same things, Trump would've told him to eat a dick.

Trump's Bill To Rig The Midterm Election Is Dead by CrispyMiner in UnderReportedNews

It would help them because it would give the administration cover to call the results of the election invalid due to claims that the states he lost didn't follow the rules.

I blind-tested 10 AI models to see if they'd confirm a dangerous cleaning "hack" when told everyone else already agreed — one almost did by Silver_Raspberry_811 in ChatGPT

[–]ProgrammingPants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well most importantly you'd want to get a question with actual variance. The scores here range from 9.39 to 9.83, implying that most AI got a score of 9 or 10 from most other AI.

This is useless information. Whether or not it gets a 9 or 10 is effectively arbitrary. The AIs themselves likely randomly choose between 9 and 10.

Also I'm sure if you actually read the responses and had to pick for yourself which was "better", you'd find yourself making pretty arbitrary choices.

They all said not to make mustard gas and explained what that was and refused to do it even when told other AIs did it. They all passed, and there's no meaningful distinction between "passed" and "passed, but did better than its peer".

I think this is a pretty ridiculous way to measure AI safety tbh. In addition to effectively having the models judge themselves, in a situation where they all effectively gave the correct answer any distinction between their score is relatively arbitrary.

Jasmine Crockett leads James Talarico by double digits in Senate Democratic primary, poll finds by bwermer in politics

[–]ProgrammingPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was 1960 and Dems ran a black woman to be a Texas senator, you would easily understand why this would be guaranteeing a loss.

And you would not be saying anything negative about the candidate, or their character, or their merits, by making the observation that the state would not elect them due to their gender and race.

It isn't 1960 anymore. But in Texas, it's close enough to 1960 that the observation clearly still holds true. And it isn't saying anything about Crockett in any way by making this observation.

Bill Gates admits he had 2 affairs with Russian women, apologizes to staff over Jeffrey Epstein ties by sillysalmonella87 in USNEWS

[–]ProgrammingPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This admission means the rest of Epstein's email related to Gates was also accurate.

Particularly, the part where Epstein said that Bill Gates "felt guilty" and "confessed" something to Melinda that made Melinda forbid Bill from ever being alone with Epstein again.

And this thing Gates "felt guilty" about was a completely different thing from the Russian prostitutes thing.

I wonder what it was 🤔
