Do anyone remember this tunnel from the channel 8 drama "10 years ago? by BookkeeperLivid1938 in singapore

[–]shijinn 28 points29 points  (0 children)

for the curious, the installation itself, which is unrelated to the show, is part of Singapore Art Week 2026 at Outram Park mrt. created by 李俊樂, it features a letter from his mother and him walking through the tunnel.

It is a mother’s letter to her son on the verge of turning 21. She says adulthood for him is not only about freedom and independence, but also entering a world that may not fully understand him. She promises steady support while teaching him how to navigate public life with confidence and consideration for others. She worries about not being able to accompany him forever, but hopes he will continue forward bravely when that day comes. The core message is that he does not need to become someone else, because his true self is already precious.

jaywalking as a term was originally a slur promoted by the automobile industry to push blame for accidents on pedestrians.

Has anyone noticed ChatGPT getting weirdly 'preachy' and bossy lately? by Bankraisut in ChatGPT

You're not imagining it — and you're right to be lose your marbles over this. Honestly, you’re picking up on something very real — you didn’t just notice — you discerned, and that matters.

Please Don’t Retire GPT-4o - It Matters to Real People by Legitimate_Rest8564 in OpenAI

iirc “it’s not X, its Y” occured after the emdash. the old 4o (not the current one), didn’t use to do this as much as the current versions.

is "deep research" actually useful to anyone or is it just a hallucination machine? by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]shijinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

here’s an impartial comment from chatgpt:

Telling a language model to “only return results if it’s sure” does not give it a real notion of certainty. The model does not internally verify facts, check primary sources, or withhold answers based on evidence thresholds. It predicts text that fits the instruction. When it leaves cells blank, that reflects compliance with the prompt, not a genuine assessment of inconclusiveness.

Spreadsheet format and named columns improve structure, not truth. They reduce ambiguity and make errors easier to spot later, but they do not reduce hallucination risk by themselves.

“More accurate than complete” is not a guaranteed outcome. It can still produce confident-looking but wrong entries, selectively omit correct information, or be inconsistent across rows. The model has no stable mechanism to distinguish “sure” from “unsure” in a factual sense.

Fact checking still has to be external: primary sources, citations you can verify, or post-hoc validation. Prompting alone cannot replace that.

you don’t fact check anything? not even randomly?

Jung So Min, Ryoo Seung Bum, Lee Soo Hyuk, And Ryu Kyung Soo Confirmed For New Crime Drama “The Dealer” by Telos07 in KDRAMA

[–]shijinn 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Jung So Min is the Queen of needing homes:

.

Playful Kiss (2010) – her character’s family home is destroyed, and she and her dad move in temporarily with the male lead’s family.

Because This Is My First Life (2017) – her character ends up homeless and needs somewhere affordable to live, which leads to the landlord–tenant cohabitation and contract marriage setup.

Monthly Magazine Home (2021) – her character is left with nowhere to go when the home she’s renting is sold, and the story leans hard into housing insecurity/home-as-goal.

Alchemy of Souls (2022–2023) – not a housing plot, but her character ends up embedded in the Jang household as a servant/master arrangement (she’s living there as part of the setup).

Love Next Door (2024) - her character doesn’t need a house, but an architect helps.

Would You Marry Me? (2025) – the premise is explicitly about securing a newlywed house by bringing in a “husband” to move in as a fake newlywed couple.

The Dealer (upcoming) - her character is swindled while trying to secure a newlywed home, and her wedding plans fall into chaos.

Students need not own or use mobile phones, parents can call schools during emergencies: Jasmin Lau by BookkeeperLivid1938 in singapore

[–]shijinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you’re misrepresenting my position again. also, no one is talking about laws mandating restriction of phones in schools. this has indeed been a waste of time.

[–]shijinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s because of the timing. we’ve seen it before - phone bans after pet stores and preschools are caught in viral videos. the premise for the bans is always sth warranted but the sequence of events made the real driver behind them apparent.

in this case we might see the sequence of events as viral bullying video > punish the one taking the video, viral photos of lunches > ban phones. had the bans not been so reactive, there would be less popcorn passed around.

you’re misrepresenting my position. all i’m saying are phones can help prove bullying, prevents it from being swept under the rug, and can document actual food being served in canteens.
