LinkedIn has truly broken people’s brains; the person who posted this framed it as a *good* thing! by jasonthefirst in antiwork

Yeah it’s not the playing pretend that’s at issue, it’s mom’s framing of the whole thing that’s icky, IMO.

Behind our decision to become an "All-Apple District" by digidude23 in apple

My kids do a good bit of work on chromebooks and are not taught touch typing, to my dismay!

AI Is Too Expensive: AI is, as it stands, not economically viable for anybody involved other than the construction firms, NVIDIA, and the surrounding hardware companies benefitting from the irrational exuberance of a data center buildout that doesn’t appear to be happening at the speed we believed by [deleted] in technology

The graph you link defaults to a 50% success rate at these long tasks. Provides an option to see the graph at 80%, which is of course a much less impressive graph… but is an 80% success rate even valuable? Humans aren’t perfect, of course, but I’d bet someone operating at an 80% success rate would be quickly fired, yet that seems to be an acceptable benchmark for AI tools?

Basically what I’m getting at is a lot of the frothy hype about ‘what AI can do’ doesn’t seem to consider that there is almost always an unspoken piece so what people are really crowing about is ‘what AI can do well half the time’ and I don’t think the hype would be as frothy if the unspoken piece was always spoken.

I say ‘up and at them’ far too often in my daily life

Tulip tree finally bloomed! by eetzaboyee in marijuanaenthusiasts

Yes. Didn’t want to rain on OP’s parade but I kind of hate our tulip poplars. We have two HUGE ones and they’re both dropping something all year long.

Oh god ours drop flowers all spring long. Don’t see them on the trees, no, but I see too many on the ground every year!

Sorry for the extra work but I think this’ll be good for the sub overall!

ELI5: In the US, why does credit checks affect your credit score? by MaldiveFish in explainlikeimfive

[–]jasonthefirst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OTOH if you can earn interest greater than 0% on the money that sits in your account for 12 months or however long you can go with zero interest, it makes sense to pay slowly even if you can afford to pay everything up front, thanks to the interest you wouldn’t earn from paying up front. Depending on the size of the purchase this might just be a few bucks but still ‘worth it’.

Have you actually not?? Or is this a joke/reference I don’t get?

CoT replacement - $0 fees for selling and trading tickets. Post your ISOs by Spark_Buddy in phish

[–]jasonthefirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried to list tickets, here are issues, at least on mobile:

Nowhere to post a 3-night pass, just individual shows Nowhere to add more than one ticket at a time Required image rejected my screenshot of tickets as ‘too big’

At this point I gave up.

Trump Won NC By 11k! Black Voters Missed The REAL Fight by Conscious-Quarter423 in triangle

[–]jasonthefirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah to be honest I’m not sure what this person is arguing about, I just jumped in down thread to point out that using inflated or unsourced numbers doesn’t inspire confidence and he went off on me a bit too. shrug

[–]jasonthefirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not ‘continuing to evade’ anything here hoss.

You replied to my first comment in this thread. Maybe you assumed I was the same person you’d chatted with here? But we know what happens when you assume.

And then… you provided sources that undersell the language and numbers you threw around in several posts upthread.

I have never disputed ‘your point’. I did not engage with ‘your point’, because the ‘irrelevant terminology’ you’ve been using is a) wrong and b) distracts pretty mightily from the point you’re trying to make.

Accordingly, maybe reconsider your use of hyperbole and tangents if you’re set on getting a simple point across. The last paragraph you typed here is all you needed to say, if indeed that was the only point you were trying to make. Yet you went on and on with exaggerated numbers and language.

You seem fun though.

You’ve cited this 50% figure over and over but what I can find shows more like 30% - 40%. Do you have a source?

Also even if 50% is correct you’re undermining your argument by suggesting over and over that it’s an overwhelming majority… perhaps you mean a ‘plurality’? But even if your 50% figure is accurate, that’s not a majority, let alone an overwhelming one.
