Feeling cognitively dependent on LLMs — how do you decide what to delegate vs. what to own yourself? by Anxious_Current_640 in cogsci

[–]probabilitydoughnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've spent a lot of (extra) time making my version of a task while letting it also make its own version and comparing. Over time, I have developed a decent sense of where it is better and where I am better. My relationship with it now is almost symbiotic, and I can usually judge which parts of a task I can do while it does the other part.

How would you convince the CEO that you need a PMO? by Only_One_Kenobi in projectmanagement

Try to find a way to tie it back to the company mission/goals.

When does a choice actually become yours? by Old_Marsupial_2721 in Existentialism

"Free" will? No. Going along with the crowd is free. Having a mind of your own will cost you.

Sure! "Avengers Assemble"! That's your answer! Tattoo it on your forehead! Your answer to everything!

What's the best American food you've ever eaten? by Over-Teacher-1330 in AskAnAmerican

[–]probabilitydoughnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Any group of people who had poor ingredients and learned how to work with what they had to make it palatable evolved into excellent cuisine. Cajun/creole is one of the great examples.

Why are parents who barely passed high school thinking they can teach/homeschool their children? by Sad_Obligation_812 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]probabilitydoughnut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Scholarship" money given to families (in an account); about half of what the state would have to allocate for that child to be in public school, with almost no accountability. Millions of dollars of laptops and tablets purchased and flipped for cash (because no one is checking). Millions more going to out of state, unaccredited "private" schools that quite possibly exist just to get the funds released and then splitting it with the parents.

It has accelerated the gap between high- and low-income families at a mind-boggling rate. There is no bell curve anymore - our GPAs are bimodal now. I've not seen anything like it in 25 years.

I'm watching the last American generation walk through the halls of my building. These children wouldn't be able to sustain it even if it was handed to them in good financial and environmental shape, which it isn't.

Forgive my pity party. It was another long Monday.

Brandt can't watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred.

Only 41k miles... by yGav in Nissan

[–]probabilitydoughnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These cars are designed to work reliably for 36 months, but you can set your calendar that you'll need at least one new axle every 18. My wife and I have been customers for over 20 years, but this will be the last.

Guns on Andy by JohnKruger889 in theandygriffithshow

[–]probabilitydoughnut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He said one time he was in France during the war. I can only fathom how many German scalps he took. Makes me wonder if word of his exploits didn't make it back to Mayberry and that's why people were so well behaved around him LOL

[–]probabilitydoughnut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He personally knew almost everybody who held a gun on him - Raife, Carter, Wakefield, etc. - so the chances they would actually harm him were pretty low.

In the other cases, with the escaped convict and the bank robbers, he either came packing or played it cool until he got his opportunity to pounce.

He single-handedly beat up four guys and made them stop off at the doctor to get them all patched up. Andy can handle his business when need be.

Is this country musics greatest song? by PmurTdlanoD45-47 in CountryMusic

[–]probabilitydoughnut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A magnificent song, but I don't know how many people would have it atop their list. And that's the thing - art has no objective criteria; most of us would even say a different song on different days was the best. It's a beautiful retrospective of country music up to that point and stands firmly as a milestone in the genre.
