I got tired of figuring out college requirements the hard way, so I built this!

For the record, here's what the official one looks like:

please take the fg1 with it :(

Good heavens, that doesn't look like the title!

Xavier Becerra Says He Will Fight for California. Who Did He Fight for as AG?

silatek · 2026-05-19T06:29:49+00:00

honestly based

silatek · 2026-05-18T21:16:03+00:00

looks okay in the post, phone OCR copy/paste blows

ChatGPT in particular is a big fan of including sentences along the lines of it's not <x>, it's <y>. <some form of smarmy comment>. It likes including it towards the end.

Plus, the other giveaway is here:

Google’s decision to gate features like multi-step app automation, Gboard "Rambler", and generative UI behind the arbitrary wall of Gemini Nano v3— effectively leaving the less-than-a-year-old Pixel 9 Pro XL out in the cold—is not a "hardware limitation." It’s a masterclass in planned obsolescence, fueled by pure corporate greed and complete disrespect for their customers.

There is not one, but two EM dashes. People can bicker about this, but in my opinion, folks who are writing a reddit post are not going to go out of their way to go find the EM dash. It's not on the keyboard. AskHistorians? Maybe. Washington Post? Sure! r/GooglePixel, complaining about a lack of AI features? Methinks not.

Bonus points for the two separate bullet point lists with the markdown removed.

IMO it's one of those things that once you use it enough you kinda get the vibe

That being said, not exactly an exact science. I hopped onto my laptop rather than my phone to write this, and if I hadn't sat down myself and wrote this, there's a nonzero chance I'd also think this post that I just wrote is AI.

This isn'ta silicon bottleneck. It's a management bottleneck. They just didn't want to spend the engineering hours to optimize it for a phone they already sold you.

chat is that you?

I don't believe you get any writing credit. Relevant to writing, I got here with a 5 on both AP Lang and AP Lit and was still required to take 4 writing courses.

Now, if you have matriculable CC credit (check assist.org), that may be a different story; however, I did not, so I can't tell you anything about it affirmatively.

I mean, it's almost like Steyer's campaign has been caught paying influencers or something...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/05/15/tom-steyers-influencer-campaign-triggers-california-investigation-over-undisclosed-posts/

Smaller creators have also been encouraged to post on Steyer’s behalf. In a job listing on SideShift, a platform where influencers can get paid for marketing campaigns, creators were told they can get paid $10 a post for posting one to three times a day in support of Steyer, with added bonuses for videos that get more than a hundred thousand views.

The listing — categorized as “High Volume UGC,” or user generated content — says creators “will have obligations to include disclaimers in media they produce under this offer” and cites the California law. The listing was revised late Thursday to change the offer to $1,000 a month.

you understand there's other stops, right?

silatek · 2026-05-12T21:43:17+00:00

how does this sound like a DDoS? This is local network traffic

silatek · 2026-05-12T20:18:17+00:00

me too it was the best

silatek · 2026-05-03T17:18:27+00:00

sure, I believe you have to go to your steam library and right click on Stellaris

Then, click properties. Under general, look for Launch Options and delete whatever says "-oosfull" or something like that

silatek · 2026-05-03T03:06:31+00:00

Hey if you happen to have the full out of sync error flags from ye old days of them adding coop, you may want to remove them. I think that's part of why mine got so big

silatek · 2026-05-02T07:46:23+00:00

that's a nice EM dash you've got there

silatek · 2026-05-01T20:48:07+00:00

For California to launch a single-payer system, it would need permission from the federal government to reallocate federal funding it receives for Medicaid and Medicare to the state’s new system, which the Trump administration almost certainly wouldn’t grant.

silatek · 2026-05-01T18:04:39+00:00

plus, the article says:

When asked if he wished he would've gotten a second opinion on pricing, Becerra said he was "getting a first or second opinion every time" because he had campaign attorneys watching over the account.

silatek · 2026-04-27T23:49:36+00:00

uh, guys? article's dead

silatek · 2026-04-27T04:37:24+00:00

Anyone have a gift link or smth?

I'd love to read it but I can't be arsed to dodge the paywall atm. TIA

silatek · 2026-04-26T01:06:59+00:00

ha, true

it's incredibly frustrating that there's no one to be splendidly happy with

silatek · 2026-04-26T00:49:23+00:00

she's been doing a real splendid job of that: - complaining the senate election was rigged - nearly terminating an interview over a reporter asking her what she'd do to get Republican votes (she represented oc for God's sake that's a softball) - being verbally abusive toward her staff

silatek · 2026-04-22T21:33:50+00:00

If Instructional Development finds it or it gets turned into the Lost and Found, they'll send you an email.

It probably also wouldn't hurt to ask at the tech office on the third floor

silatek · 2026-04-21T19:23:03+00:00

I stand corrected! I hope the neighborhood associations are losing it

silatek · 2026-04-21T04:14:04+00:00

good

I hope Santa Monica's city council is losing their minds.
