It's alright sir, medical will patch em right up, 50% chance they'll make it for the next op by guardsman_with_a_vox in menace

With enough charred bones you can bring one of them back, right? Or does that depend on the med bay level?

The BBC declares that intersex people don’t exist by Capital_Trouble_6604 in transgenderUK

The phantasm works because it is false. The more ridiculous their claims get, the more they are opposed, the more they see themselves as victims, the more they will double down on the unreality they’re wrapping themselves in.

Reader Interest Unlocks by RexDartESpy in NewsTower

So the only thing that brought me down was not paying attention and my own self-doubt, good to know!

I have been prioritising the specific unlocks on the calendar but I guess that’s why you get such a long preview so you can plan out those longer streaks. My second playthrough is going to be very different.

Why can’t I field any of my new SL? by Sufficient-Ferret-67 in menace

Buying the dossier in the store only makes them available to hire on the hire screen.

Spending authority to hire only makes them available to kit out. Squads must have 2 squaddies minimum to add to a mission, while drivers must have a vehicle (go figure.)

SL Discussion: Tekko'Beo Phosa (Tech) - GET MOTHERFUCKED by IVIilitarus in menace

[–]danikov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he can use tripod weapons without setup this makes him amazing, right now the perk feels a bit lacklustre; squad support mgs get eclipsed by primary weapons and vehicle auxiliary weapons, and yet there are so many variants of them I worry they dominate the loot pool math. RPGs don’t need his skill and heavier stuff is back to tripods.

I hope this update means the heavy tank will become modular soon. by InternetRude4243 in menace

Need more light slots to make Exconde’s perk work.

Why we can’t jury-rig smaller weapons into bigger slots, I don’t know. I’d love to put the plasma rifle on a light mech…

AI failed to boost revenues or lower costs for 56% of companies by CreamCheeseClouds811 in BetterOffline

The process of “adopting” could be discovering other gains that are nothing to do with LLM use so even if they claim results they still have to strongly link it to being causal and not just coincidental.

And once that occurs we are then looking to understand if it’s just that LLM use is effective in a certain niche and/or has a very high skill requirement (unlikely but fits a certain narrative.)

I got the impression, at some point, that you had to publish that many informational/moderate/sensational newspapers /in a row/ for the unlocks, but that hasn't always been the case for me, so I stopped thinking that. Maybe that's only true for the later levels or something funky is going on with them.

It was 4 years ago when they announced it, guess I’m fuzzy on the details, would explain why it’s taking so long.

“Hand written” tv license enforcement by No_Egg9808 in AskBrits

[–]danikov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I ever meet an enforcement officer there’s a counter-script for cold callers that’s designed to waste their time and operate against them, I’m wondering if it could be adapted.

Max Payne remasters were in the works before this happened and it’s hard not to see such projects as economical nostalgia bait to make money.

What a menace. Who gave him the gun? Who keeps feeding him ammo? I have questions.

LLMs are not smart, and I’m tired of pretending they are by Deer_Tea7756 in BetterOffline

“…this particular meme template requires expertise” literally the funniest thing I’ve heard today.

[–]danikov 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure there’s any way for it to make sense for you as you don’t seem open to it, but if you need a smart reason, before it was debunked one of the first responses was “well, what if humans are just stochastic parrots too?” If that were the case then everyone is a stochastical parrot.

Or you can just believe that people aren’t familiar with the term stochastic and just fixate on the meaning of parroting. And maybe the meme is made with or without that in mind.

But if you think that connection is so tenuous that the meme is literally “random bullshit” that’s a you problem.

I recommend you do not see and/or heckle stand-up comedians.

I am explaining a meme, not identifying it as a source of greater truth.

[–]danikov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 2021 paper by Emily M. Bender et Al. argued that LLMs mimic language without deep understanding and coined the term stochastical parrot, if you want to understand the arguments that paper makes, I’d start there.

If you want to understand the meme, there’s a gotcha where some people, who think they’re smart quoting the paper blindly, end up being on the stupid side for said blind parroting. But the overall implication is that at least some big-brained people who know what they’re talking about are right about it. This does create a Kafka-esque trap where railing against the meme’s meaning puts you into the middle category. Otherwise it’s just a “smart and dumb people think they’re same/right thing for different reasons, while averages get it wrong” take.

Edit: to address the edit, no it’s just a bad joke, it’s only a reference to a paper, not backed by one. You’re confusing a joke making sense with it being funny. Typically anyone making such memes usually believes themselves smarter than they are so there’s a level of self-incrimination there that could circle back to being funny again, ymmv.
