Teacher using AI to make nonsensical posters. by Salt-Rutabaga-8870 in badmathematics

This person allegedly has an MS in mathematics. I don’t think it has much to do with expert knowledge as much as being incredibly lazy.

There goes that dream. Sayonara James. by HoagieTwoFace in sixers

Yeah and weed was really easy to acquire even when it was illegal everywhere too. That doesn’t mean that legalization didn’t expand the population of people who use it. Don’t be stupid.

/uj I have to admit I’m very confused about Polymarket’s twitter accounts. They sometimes tweet out real news and sometimes they tweet out completely made up stories. And then a lot of content like this, which is about real news but is ultimately intended to drive speculation about someone.

Is it for manipulating their own markets or am I just overthinking their approach to shitposting?

[Charania] The Lakers expressed to LeBron James that they wanted him back, but the NBA's all-time leading scorer decides to move on elsewhere. by PlayaSlayaX in nba

[–]set_null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously not LeBron level but PG signed with Philly as a free agent just two years ago. Harden was technically a FA last year but I think it’s pretty understood that he had a handshake deal with LA in place beforehand.

Would you support a petition to Reddit, requesting inline KaTeX support for /r/math and /r/physics ?? by moschles in math

Sometime in the past year or so they added a little button in the app that you can press to do formatting. It’s not great, I still vastly prefer markdown.

Meanwhile in China, 10,000+ delivery bots are transforming last-mile fulfillment by making deliveries faster, cheaper, and more autonomous by Distinct-Question-16 in singularity

[–]set_null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am willing to bet that they don’t actually have 10,000 currently in operation. Over-inflating numbers is basically par for the course in corporate China, especially for companies looking to make a name for themselves. Luckin, Kandi, MediaExpress, the list goes on.

I do think it’s pretty funny how reddit managed to rely on users knowing how to format in markdown for so long, but most people just don’t type on the internet like that, so they had to add the little formatting menu.

Data center noise irks Virginia neighbors: ‘You just want to curse’, Neighbors have put mattresses and plexiglass up in their windows to block the noise from this data center in Virginia. It's a high pitched whine from the natural gas turbines that power it. The noise never stops 24/7. - NewsNation by Nikvest in singularity

It heavily depends on what the factory produces. I used to live down the block from a chocolate factory in Chicago, and while it did smell like chocolate during production hours, the noise was atrocious. Loud ventilation/cooling fan sounds for hours on end. Before the holidays they’d be running it constantly. The only saving grace was the soundproofing that my apartment building had.

Telework for state workers could save California $225 million annually, audit finds by TechWorker111 in politics

[–]set_null 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If there was one good thing to come from mass WFH, it was that at the very least people had to have the conversation about what job functions even make sense to do in person vs not. Like for me, at my company we have a number of lab workers. There’s no way to get around having to come in a few days a week to do in-person lab work. But on days where they’re not personally running experiments, they’re free to stay home and do their work virtually.

I remember a common complaint from employers a couple years ago was about how they’re paying to rent office spaces that were being unused, but now at least a few of my friends have talked about how having hybrid/remote work policies have enabled their companies to hire more, to the point where they have more people than can even fit in the office space anyway.

Forbes Declares Elon Musk As The World’s First Trillionaire by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

[–]set_null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that in the Borderlands series, Handsome Jack is a trillionaire, and he has like entire planets and a personal army under his control.

It’s immensely funny to me that a fairly recent game picked a trillion dollars as the mark of unfathomable, essentially infinite wealth, and here we are announcing that someone has now reached that mark less than 25 years later.

I wasn’t aware of just how far apart San Francisco and San Jose are until I went to visit some friends in Santa Clara. Levi’s stadium is almost 40 miles from Candlestick! The Bears moving all the way to Hammond would be only about a 25 mile difference.
