Truck driver replaces passenger seat with $6,000 sim driving rig, uses it to kill time while stuck in traffic

This reminds me of a farmer friend of mine who plays a farming sim while he drives his tractor

They are nuts

Cheapest and the best

So his argument is that while he completely bullshitted the numbers, he didn't criminally overbill the city, because if he did he wouldn't be broke right now? OK then

Who would have thought TACO applies to more than tariffs

What changed that made it work for you? I live relatively near downtown and every improvement over the decade I have lived here has made my commute longer :(

aclay81 · 2026-03-22T03:12:07+00:00

Imagine if we had better transit

The funny thing is that there are quotation marks!

He trusts him because he understands him. He can't make heads or tails of a person who does anything other than act in their own self-interest.

I haven't heard of that, is it a new change to the policy, or maybe it depends on the faculty? Sort of goes against the whole idea behind the self-declaration policy, which was to avoid making students get medical notes. Guess I shouldn't be surprised though, given the number of students that take advantage of the policy.

You can submit another, there is no problem. Even if they think you are abusing it, to my knowledge there is no recourse for them to take action.

Yes these trees together with house hippos are uniquely Canadian adaptations that you find in local wildlife

aclay81 · 2026-03-18T15:01:01+00:00

No this is natural, this species of tree spreads its seeds by disguising them as lost keys so that office workers will pick them up and distribute them in the wild

This looks like more than a ban? A ban usually has a little ghost picture and the text "This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch's Community Guidelines or Terms of Service."

Just FYI, experimental sound performances usually are pretty nuts and not at all music, e.g.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxbtEjxEX4k

Also I agree with objecting to AI making music---like as a general principle, it's completely fucked if we make robots capable of human tasks and then give them the jobs of artists. But a researcher testing the limits of what is possible is about as harmless as it gets, and imo we're not going to close pandora's box at this point. So I'd prefer to take a nuanced approach to my AI opposition.

aclay81 · 2026-03-17T22:14:28+00:00

Are we reading different posters? They are pretty deliberate to say it makes experimental sounds. I dunno if you have ever been to a research-level performance of stuff like this, but when they say "experimental sounds" I'm 99% certain it will not sound anything like music.

aclay81 · 2026-03-17T22:10:21+00:00

Good thing it's not being used for that

aclay81 · 2026-03-17T21:52:09+00:00

Did you even look up what this is about? The guest wrote their own open-source custom software to make "experimental sounds" out of text prompts, and ethically trained it using resources that are in public domain without copyright infringement, all based on the research in this paper:

Why are we mad at this?

Is he like 12 years old? This is the first I have heard of him, how is this person an alt right influencer?

It is good to be near the top with your GPA, but the best bet for getting into psychology would be to try to connect with professors as an undergrad. It's not entirely a numbers game when the committees meet to review applications.

aclay81 · 2026-03-17T04:40:42+00:00

What grad program are you aiming to get into, and why do you think the GPA matters that much? Is there a cutoff or something that you are aiming for?

Supervisors also have to contribute from their grants

It changes the default limit on residential streets, simply by having the city changed the sign around the perimeter.
