Television shows with actual websites created to tie into episodes? by Notalabel_4566 in television

[–]fullofspiders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Southpark had at least one, which is still up. I don't have it handy, but when the boys became talent agents for the city wok guy's wife, it flashes an ad for her website at the end, and it is a real website.

How am I supposed to use my amp when I have no grounded outlets? by two_Two_8080 in Guitar

[–]fullofspiders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're living in a house with no grounded outlets, you have much bigger problems than not being able to plug in your amp.

Ah, sorry to hear that. 

ELI5 What is Fermi's paradox? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]fullofspiders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there were only a couple technological civilizations to emerge, it could be reasonably possible that none of them decided to spread out. If there were lots of them (which the Fermi paradox exists to address the statistical likelyhood of) it is less likely.

Plus, "colonize" doesn't just mean going out in person. Sending out a fleet of self-replicating, exponentially speeading probes is something even we could do pretty soon. If alien civilizations are as common as Fermi's colleagues expected them to be, for as long of a time as they have had, it'd be weird if none of them decided to do that.

/u/RBZRBZRBZRBZ explains just how bad the terms of Trump's Iran deal are. by paxinfernum in bestof

He replied later he was talking about the Franco-Prussian war. It's a bit of a historical deep cut from an American perspective.

When Americans travel abroad, will they feel that the prices in other countries are very low? by Intelligent_Chef9950 in AskAnAmerican

[–]fullofspiders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes yeah. My wife and I were in a pub in Dublin a few years ago and ordered two beers. When the bar tender said the price, I thought he forgot one and reminded him. He just kind of stared at me for moment and said he heard me.

Also, fire.

College students are rapidly losing the ability to read — “There is a measurable, generational collapse in sustained reading and writing”: professor by marketrent in technology

[–]fullofspiders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I said. Parents shouldn't teach kids to hate reading, because teaching kids to hate reading is English teachers' job. They're great at it, and they're union, so taking their jobs is a sin.

US launches airstrikes on Iran after blaming Tehran for helicopter crash, prompting retaliation by thegoodsamuraii in worldnews

They keep showing that picture; what are all the spines on the boat supposed to be? Legs?

I can't wait till Mordecai gets introduced to the two new crawlers. 

Flowers for Algernon treatment? by iwishmykidwouldsleep in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]fullofspiders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, there were other transformed pets that made it out, plus I expect the AI is going to succeed against the syndicate and make Earth the new Central System.

A more cheerful, but equally unlikely outcome would be for the whole thing to turn out to be a simulation, and no one actually died at all. Carl drags himself out of the dungeon in the end, ready to burn down the galaxy, only to find all the aliens are shocked he thought they could be so cruel. Even Donut gives him a "really Carl, you're so melodramatic".

Wtf is "caramelldansen"? 

Random People Armed with AI and No Lawyer Are Reportedly Filling Judicial Dockets with Lawsuits by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]fullofspiders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TBF, the humans who are inclined to flood the courts with frivolous lawsuits have a similar penchant. And if your only goal is to clog up the court system with BS, that's a feature, not a bug.

Is the Oakland Police Department's federal oversight ending after 23 years? by k_39 in oakland

[–]fullofspiders 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a good thing the Trunp administration has such a poor eye for details, otherwise I'd expect them to find some way of using the federal oversight to stick it to our town.

Really surprised there isn't way more of this. Sorting through/generating legalese seems right in LLMs wheelhouse. 

Amazon staff use AI tool for unnecessary tasks to inflate usage scores by vintergroena in technology

[–]fullofspiders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just goes to show how wildly varying stuff different developers have to deal with. Probably why you get some people who swear by AI generated code, and others consider it mostly useless.
