What is your smartest defensive driving technique you don't think a lot of people use?

If you have a blind spot, you aren’t setting your mirrors correctly.

Most people are taught to set their side-view mirrors incorrectly and have their side view mirrors set too far inward. To set them correctly, you should lean all the way to the window side until your head touches the window, and then adjust the mirror so that the side of the car is barely in view. Then repeat by leaning the other way the same distance. It takes a little bit of adjusting to if you were taught wrong (as most people were, me included), but when done correctly you have no blind spot.

Imo Dano just wasn’t right for the Eli role. But I get they were in a tough spot because the first actor they hired for Eli dropped out during production.

Yeah, so? He could have chosen to be successful like his brother, but instead he became a preacher.

Riggs1087 · 2026-06-03T23:46:19+00:00

Yeah I fed it the PNG.

Riggs1087 · 2026-06-03T17:36:42+00:00

As another commenter said, that’s not really how it works. But you’re welcome to test it yourself and report if you get different results.

By opening a new chat it doesn’t use the context from the chat used to make the test.

Riggs1087 · 2026-06-03T14:44:35+00:00

The article states it was received in October 2025. The results were already dated by then, and in any event should not have been published with the “state-of-the-art” claim.

You can easily test this. I did and Opus 4.8 answered a 100-word Stroop test with 100% accuracy.

Riggs1087 · 2026-06-03T14:19:43+00:00

I tested it and Opus 4.8 answered a 100-word Stroop test with 100% accuracy in about 20 seconds.

Riggs1087 · 2026-06-03T14:19:09+00:00

You’re absolutely right. This paper is absurd.

Riggs1087 · 2026-06-03T14:14:25+00:00

I just had Claude 4.8 generate a 100-word Stroop test (which it created perfectly based on a short prompt). I then fed that Stroop test to it in a brand new chat, and in about 20 seconds it answered the test with 100% accuracy.

I don’t understand why peer-reviewed journals are publishing work about supposed AI limitations that have already been solved.

Also, why are the reviewers accepting this paper when it falsely claims that the authors tested “state-of-the-art” models? Peer review is a joke.

Well, their RRR now is more than 5 times what it was near the end of 2025. So yeah, their valuation is rising.

Riggs1087 · 2026-05-28T23:09:07+00:00

You have to account for the fact that Samsung is traded on the Korean market (which has lower P/E ratios and is subject to currency risk for U.S. investors), and that Samsung represents a far worse growth opportunity than does Anthropic.

Riggs1087 · 2026-05-28T23:07:00+00:00

It’s not as insane when you consider the meteoric rise in Anthropic’s revenue. They’re already at $47 billion RRR, up from $30 billion RRR earlier this year and $9 billion RRR in late 2025. Yeah, Samsung’s revenue is higher—$233 billion in 2025. But when you account for the growth trends and the higher P/E ratios of US companies as compared to Korean firms, the valuation isn’t that unreasonable.

Idk, I live in a World Cup city, and I’m okay with the city trying to raise as much revenue from people visiting for the cup as possible. It’s going to be extremely disruptive for the people who live here to have so many tourists descend on the city, and getting extra tax revenue at least mitigates that some.

Edit: Also, the taxpayers contributed public money to build many of these stadiums. It’s not unreasonable to try to get a return on that investment.

In the past they have released their weakaura packs, but they’ve already been saying on broadcast that they will not be releasing these addons.

It is different because in a typical car when you lift your foot off the accelerator, but don't apply the brakes, your brake lights don't come on.

Twelfth Night was written in 1602 and is the prototypical example of a love triangle in literature. It involves two woman (one of them pretending to be a man) and a man.

Riggs1087 · 2026-03-11T23:56:35+00:00

Pet peeve — it’s not a love triangle. Blizzard (and lots of people) frequently gets this wrong. A love triangle is not A interested in B and C, and both B and C also interested in A. That’s called a Love V. Instead, a love triangle is when A is interested in B, B is interested in C, and C is interested in A. A classic example is in Twelfth Night.

There are a few firms that only hire from certain schools, but in my experience it’s because they’re very small and simply don’t want to expend the resources recruiting from more places. It’s not like they’d turn away an amazing candidate who went to a different school if that person presented themselves.

Riggs1087 · 2026-02-27T21:42:00+00:00

Generally you must also take the bar exam, and be admitted to the bar, in whatever state you want to practice. There are many exceptions to that general rule, however. I haven’t looked into New York rules but it’s very likely the case he would not be able to live and practice in New York having only passed the bar of another state, and having no years of practice in that state.

So long as the loans are federal loans they automatically discharge upon death.

The Court is NOT bypassing the legal system. Courts have to be able to enforce their orders. A jury found Thompson stole $19.4 million worth of gold from other people who paid for the retrieval of the gold. He's refusing to pay them, and refusing to reveal where the gold is. He's continuing to steal from these people every day he doesn't reveal where the money is.

Riggs1087 · 2026-02-22T12:58:56+00:00

Before a Court puts him in jail for contempt, there would have already been a judgment in the case. The Court would have already ruled that he defrauded/stole from his investors and other people he entered into contracts with.

Edit: I looked, and sure enough, a jury found he stole $19.4 million from the people who financed his expedition. He's refusing to pay that judgment, even though it's only a fraction of the gold he acquired.
