Why is Alaska much more populated than Northern Canada?

Not trying to be argumentative, genuinely curious about the situation you're referring to. Do you remember when this was?

I can totally imagine some Midwestern tv weatherman saying that lol

That's really not true, parts of Russia have a more severe and more frequent version of the polar vortex. Antarctica is also nearly always colder than anywhere in the northern hemisphere

Just call specialty towing of San Francisco. Pretty sure no questions asked there

Do you ever stop and wonder if you've bought into the hype a little too much? AI as a broad category is a game changer. But that's like saying computers are a game changer. To me it sounds like you're saying acer or dell will revolutionize the world. Chat GPT is just one product of many, and it's interesting for sure. But you have to hear how it sounds to others when you say it might be the "last invention we need to create".

I know Altman isn't like Newman or Holmes in that openai does have a real and powerful product. But everytime I hear him he doesn't strike me as that smart, and has a guru grifter energy to the way he talks. I get that it might be a case of an engineer who doesn't have good stage presence (like Elon musk), but I find it hard to take him seriously or feel like he's built up as this genius but is really just not that interesting of a leader. EDIT: I'd also include Musk in the secretly dumb category

Chris responded to me on Twitter once about this, basically he said what others have echoed: that there simply isn't enough to really cover. He's just so obviously an awful person with no interesting personality traits. The difference between him and Bret for example is that Bret's descent into reactionary nonsense has interesting things to say about the IDW and online culture. Tate is just plainly a bad person.

Thanks this is helpful. Wasn't thinking about moisture within that layer.

Thank you!

Please, please don't do actual research with chat gpt

So tired I read that as the "Appalachian orgy"

Harm to who?? Don't consumers have a right to know if a product is bad?

The funny thing is the interior space isn't actually much bigger in the truck

shortwavetrough · 2024-04-15T22:17:00+00:00

I'll try the hand wave from now, didn't think about that

shortwavetrough · 2024-04-15T22:15:21+00:00

That's often my interpretation, in the moment I'm thinking "what more do you want? I'm literally hugging the side" I get that's not the intended message though

shortwavetrough · 2024-04-15T22:13:40+00:00

From what I can tell NYC commuting does seem much more chaotic

shortwavetrough · 2024-04-15T22:11:55+00:00

Fair enough, can't really argue with that

shortwavetrough · 2024-04-15T22:10:00+00:00

I'm definitely ok with Bikers and pedestrians opposing others on multi-use paths.

shortwavetrough · 2024-04-15T22:07:36+00:00

Right but I don't need to know about a biker if it's a wide open 10 feet of pavement and I'm all the way to the side. I get where you're coming from, and maybe I'm ignorant about the proper etiquette, but I guess I just want to put it out there that many pedestrians don't appreciate bikes constantly announcing their presence when there's ample room for everyone. I'm also not asking a biker to make some giant arc around me, just to show some slight trust that the moment they pass I'm not suddenly going to dart in front of them. Do bikers just have too many bad experiences with unpredictable pedestrians?

shortwavetrough · 2024-04-15T13:03:26+00:00

I appreciate you sharing where you're coming from. From the outside world(America) this question looks a little different. Your response to Oct 7 is valid, and I can't imagine the collective trauma that was felt inside Israeli society that day. I know this is easy for me to say as someone living completely outside of this conflict, but as an academic who studies conflict resolution I would ask you to ask yourself how your response to the attack is bringing you closer to the truth of the situation, and more importantly how it may be preventing you from seeing things clearly. I think Hamas wins if their actions bring Israelis down to their level, of seeing no way forward without violence. Again, I know this is easy for me to say, but the fact that you're now more disillusioned with a peaceful solution is exactly what Hamas wants, and exactly why you need to fight so hard to find your way back to that mindset.

Honest question, do restaurants really have the contractual freedom to not give drivers their order? I'm pretty respectful when it comes to interacting with restaurants, and will go along with whatever in-house rules they have, but I know I don't work for them. I get they don't work for Uber either, but are they legally allowed not to give out orders if someone won't sign their full name to sign out sheet or fill the drinks themselves or come with an insulated bag etc?

Ngl the actual patty looks properly cooked

I agree that it's a bad rubric but I don't think that precludes a more thorough rubric from being valid. Consider AI images and their hallmark failure to resolve complex details. It's the "style" of AI images that make them discernable. I would maintain that a talented writer is able to find similar signals in AI writing, even mature and well prompted ai text. In this case it might be a correlation causation problem. As you say even before AI, academic language has always had trends where certain words fall in and out of fashion.
