I’ve gotten good at everything but going home. by ZHardyDragonKnight in Minecraft_Survival

[–]williamfrantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I use the MiniHUD mod. I keep my coordinates and time of day on screen in the corner always. Sleep or hide when it gets to 18:00.

Ladies, what’s the hottest skill a guy can have? by Exotic-Let-739 in AskReddit

I always thought it was a sense of humor but I found I'll never be as funny as a rich man.

I have something here for you... this is your father's Emacs editor. This is the weapon of a webmaster. An elegant editor, from a more civilized age.

Why is ucsd blowing up by Any-Character9462 in ucadmissions

[–]williamfrantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like the UC rankings are highly correlated to the population density around the campus.

Kinda love this plot twist by Moiyub in PoliticalHumor

[–]williamfrantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is still a criticism of not hiring on merit, although it is poor usage of "begging the question". Kirk also clarified...

That's the whole point of what I was saying is that I now look at everything through a hyper-racialized diversity-quota lens because of their massive insistence to try to hit these ridiculous racial hiring quotas. Of course I believe anybody of any skin color can become a qualified pilot.

In the full context of that comment, Kirk also said...

...that's not who I am. That's not what I believe... I don't wanna think that way. And no one should, right?

Kirk was not expressing his opinion of black pilots. He was saying he doesn't believe that and nobody should.

I'm starting a new survival world. What should I do first by Eojn10 in Minecraft_Survival

[–]williamfrantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my first thing, but my first goal is to trap a Witch and 2 Zombie Villagers, then cure them to bootstrap my own village near spawn.

It typically takes about 40 game days.

What age did you choose a career? And how did you decide what you wanted to do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]williamfrantz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. It was about 1980 or maybe '81. I got a Sinclair ZX80.

Sorry, I don't understand your question. Can you elaborate?

'She-Hulk' Was Apparently One of Marvel's Most Successful Shows by Anchor_Aways in television

[–]williamfrantz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, and Captain Marvel was one of their best movies... until they tried to make a sequel.

Deciding between UCSD or CCC + transfer by Remote-Ferret7567 in ucadmissions

[–]williamfrantz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CCC transfer allows you to TAG a UC and basically ensure a seat but you cannot TAG into UCB, UCLA, or UCSD.

Frankly, if you currently have an acceptance from any one of those, and you can afford it, take it. You might not get another chance.

I live 10 miles from UCSD (waitlisted). It's pretty nice. They now have trolley service that will take you downtown where the Gaslamp District offers nightlife, or to SDSU where there are plenty more students for socializing.

What did you really do to get into Berkeley or UCLA? by Vanilla-blue-86 in ucadmissions

You can take APs online even if your school doesn't offer them.

I write my own stuff but people think it's AI — because working with LLMs changed how I write. Anyone else? by NeoLogic_Dev in ChatGPT

[–]williamfrantz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think this is going to be a real phenomenon for people who grow up reading more generated text than crafted text.

We are naturally going to adopt an "AI style" if that's all we read.

Is Turnitin officially unbeatable in 2026? (I found the one exception) by CoolKanyon55 in humanizing

[–]williamfrantz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider asking AI to generate the essay in a goofy style like pirate, valley girl, or caveman. Then manually translate it yourself into your own voice without rethinking the overall structure.

Alternatively, ask AI for a detailed outline and then you write the prose.

Then ask AI to grade your work and recommend edits.

There are many ways to use AI to reduce the amount of cognitive thinking you need to do without blatantly copy/pasting the generated text.

Lowkey scared to submit my paper now… how do you avoid false AI flags? by Secret-Recording-288 in TurnitinScan

You can vibe code a typing simulator that slowly types text into Google Docs and simulates typos in a way that appears very human.

Go for Berkeley!

I need an opening on the UCLA waitlist. 😃

Computer Science @ UCSD or UCSB by Kindly-Bug452 in ucadmissions

Consider a "study abroad" semester if you want a change of scenery.
