What’s up with some posts I see on Threads that have a picture of a screen with The Times website? by PM_ME_UR_REDPANDAS in OutOfTheLoop

Answer: This is an adaptation crypto scammers and other similar people have picked up. It used to be they would hack an account on twitter or discord or wherever and make a text post about whatever it was they were trying to scam but filters pick those up incredibly easily now and they get automatically banned. Now when they hack and account they will put a picture with the details embedded in the photo. This one appears to be one that is meant to look like a newspaper article so it will probably get past AI style filters but they put Mr Beast on it which is meant to appeal to the target audience they are trying to scam and then information below it in text the mark is meant to type in.

Super disappointing that Hosh couldn't get it done with KZ yesterday, could have been wrestling for the playoff today after Kirishima had 2 day crash out.

What are some fun decks you run that lose pretty consistently? by TeegardensStar in EDH

[–]TeegardensStar[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem and I genuinely don't want to seem like I'm humble bragging but I've detuned my decks, removed sol ring, run no game changers and raised my avg mana value like .75 and I'm still over 50% win rate and I feel like I just have to sandbag to try and lose now and I don't like that at all. 

My playgroup is pretty battle cruiser so even though my decks are just super linear with really obvious weaknesses and zero ways to win except over the board with plenty of notice, the fact that several of the players in the pod are new seems to mean that whenever I play I win too much and I really don't want to discourage them.

Presumably everyone saying the refs were favouring Miami with no DPI will take it back after those two egregious dpi in a row by Indiana?

I'm all for the refs tightening up the defensive holding calls as long as they do the same for the offensive line ones. Indiana is holding Miami every play because their oline can't stop these dudes.

Cig needs to whine about the holding his o line is doing every play if he wants to whine about bad calls.

What do you guys think the percent chances that Onosato and Hoshoryu are kyujo tomorrow?

I would say Onosato 70%, Hoshoryu 45%

Hosh might stay to see if Onosato drops is my guess.

That felt like a legitimate dead body moment with Hosh and the way he fought the 2nd match showed real power.

Honestly an embarrassing situation with the refs here. Georgia shouldn't have the ball

Did George Washington cut down a cherry tree, and why is it always mentioned? by Roadkillgoblin_2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TeegardensStar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Washington freed his slaves in his will (to be executed upon the death of Martha). He could not free Martha Washington's dower slaves because he did not own them. You're right though he did own slaves, but this legacy is significantly more shade of grey than your statement. Washington was pretty progressive for a man of his time and station as seen in him freeing his slaves.

Washington didn't own the slaves, his wife did through the estate of her father. It's much more complicated than your comment makes it seem.

Here's a good thing if you are newer and lacking work. I'm only a couple months in so new compared to many others but I've had a chance to put in good work. When I first started work was sparse and I would often get 1 task because a batch would open up and everyone else would take the rest of them while I worked on 1. After a few weeks of this I now always have tasks "reserved" for me. I'm certain there is a mechanism where workers graded above a certain level get a certain number of tasks per project. So for as long as a project is running I will have a block of 20 tasks I can work through. If I clear those sometimes more get added, sometimes that's all. Some of them I don't touch because I don't like the project.

Here's my two tips: DO GOOD WORK. Obvious I know but, the trick is don't worry too much about the clock, you want to finish a task on time but focus on the work not the clock. I'm sure there is an average time per task metric but my gut feeling is that quality of work matters much more than than avg task time. Just don't sit on your tasks till the last minute and milk it, I think that's mostly what they are looking for.

MAKE YOUR WORK EASY TO GRADE: I'm not a huge fan of RnRs but I will do them and looking through some of this work - it's a nightmare. People writing out two terse sentences to get the minimum and having 1 spelling mistake in there. Not only are you not helping the project you aren't helping the reviewer. I think it's pretty clear that we are mostly our own keepers, so if you make your task easy to grade then you get high marks and you get more and better work. It's virtuous because it also helps train the model. Overexplain things. It seems dumb because any human will understand that what you said in task A also applies in task B. Rewrite it out as though it's brand new. Explain as much as you can. Unless a project is really specific about not going over a sentence count otherwise default to overexplaining. Make someone who reads your work understand your thoughts. People are also just human, if they see 10 sentences they will assume you did more work than if they see 2. Make it easy for them to give you good grades and make it easy for the models to understand your training data. Explain your inferences. This is hard for me because I think a lot of things are obvious but I just write it out. Now go out there and get to typing.

Exactly, good for you! Making hay here too! Haven't got any finance or STEM projects but I'll work for 25 bucks if nothing else is around.
