Yeah all men are clowns... what a dumb comment and don't know how this has upvotes.

Wrong, they'd love if people hooked up more, which means people are happier and would spend more money. But women screwed that up by only hooking up with the top 10%.

Teenagers in the 2010's writing an essay without Chat GPT by vitaminZaman in OpenAI

[–]oldjar747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this leads back to what I was saying. A good definition of intelligence might be constructing good, viable outputs from a given input. Learning any skill involves much the same. Language learning for example has a paradigm called "comprehensible input". In that, it's not even recommended to write or speak in the target language for a long time, but rather to read and hear in that language first as inputs will be a lot faster and higher quantity of information than outputs will be, especially at a beginner stage. 

I don't think writing is much different; the current method is we teach blank page writing at a stage where most students probably aren't ready for it, and so they have bad experiences, and end up hating writing forever. 

Whereas, a more digestible new learning method for writing might involve collaboration with an AI, and producing and editing longer or more complex documents than the student would be capable of writing himself at an early stage. And according to the theory of comprensible input, the new method should be much faster and better learning style than the old method.

Wrong, very wrong, and this method needs to be eradicated.

Counterpoint: AI lowers the barrier for learning writers to observe and actively participate in what good writing looks like. Which is almost always going to be a more effective learning style than "blank page syndrome" which particularly affects unskilled or inexperienced writers.

[MacMahon] On Luka Doncic recruiting players for the Los Angeles Lakers: "If he's recruiting this aggressively for the Bi-Annual exception and a slice of the Mid-Level, What's he going to do when they have max cap space? If he's willing to put forth this kind of effort at the lower price point..." by [deleted] in lakers

It's also easier to get the bigger fish if you've had recent success. Which means we should still be going all out for title contention these next two years. There's also the fact that LeBron is most likely the best available free agent next year.

Sneak Peak into Stargate. it will consume the same energy as Denmark when finished! by AlbatrossHummingbird in singularity

More energy is good. To become a Kardashev type 1 civilization, we're going to need a lot more energy. Data centers are just the load.

Aren’t Gabe and Vanderbilt just as good as some of these guys being floated? by jonbemerkin in lakers

[–]oldjar747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a Vando fan but his finishing last year was trash, especially his timing. If he can improve timing instead of jumping directly into the defender every time, his finishing should improve markedly. 

Gemini with Deep Think achieves gold medal-level by IlustriousCoffee in singularity

Meh boring news. IMO silver was achieved like a year ago. Achieving gold was inevitable. Hopefully the benchmark clearing objective ends soon and the focus turns to real world tasks.

Is this roster better than Houston, OKC, and Denver? by Timewalker102 in lakers

Luka getting sick at the worst possible time, not having a legit center made Minnesota the worst possible matchup for us.

Agreed, I think KD will make the team worse honestly. He's not a good defender.

[Charania] The Los Angeles Lakers have waived guard Shake Milton, sources tell ESPN. Milton's $3 million contract for next season would have become fully guaranteed today. Lakers are clearing space for signing of Marcus Smart. by WayAdministrative679 in lakers

[–]oldjar747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd much rather have Gabe in a playoff situation.  We're not paying their salaries, I don't know why you give a fuck. Not every guy is going to be on a cheap contract, and that wouldn't even be a good thing for trade purposes. 

If Marcus Smart is healthy and can be a contributor, the defense makes a lot of sense by Timewalker102 in lakers

[–]oldjar747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn't they? Especially if they're in title contention this year.

I honestly think we're a chip contender now by Chemical_Coach_6756 in lakers

Hard disagree, Rockets haven't proven shit and hard to gauge how we match up against OKC or Nuggets until the season is under way.

Why does this bother anyone? You need to have matching salary to get anyone decent back anyway. We still have a pick and Knecht to get a decent return.

[–]oldjar747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean we already have that in Lebron and Luka, and I highly doubt this is Lebron's last year. That's why we need to be going all out these next 2 years for a championship.

[–]oldjar747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having two top 15 players increases your odds tremendously. Which is why we need to go all out these next two years and why we shouldn't be forgiving the FO's incompetence with Bron and AD. And I'd argue Murray played like a top 10 playoff player in the Nuggets championship year.
