I'm sure once Flock notifies departments of these bad apples, they will take swift inaction.

Even when you paid for software in the Good Old Days it was guaranteed to be compatible with ONE version of your OS, e.g. Windows 95. When you upgraded Windows, you'd often need to buy a new edition.

> "I recognize that a year-long restructuring creates additional challenges," Sharma said in a passage of the message, according to CNBC. "Unfortunately, it is not possible to make all the necessary changes in a single day." He said the division will return to growth next year.

Whoever wrote this doesn't even know Asha Sharma is a woman.

If you have a ruler and it goes to 12 inches, you should normalize by the length L and not by 13, the number of points on the ruler.

Hot take: I think the em-dash is just lazy punctuation that can be replaced by the more nuanced pauses, i.e. the comma, semicolon, and colon. I think its popularity stems from people being confused on how to use a semicolon.

My Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller didn't work with my Mac, so I had Claude write me a driver. Amazing times we live in. (As long as I still have a job so I can buy controllers in ten years.)

I'm tired of this pseudointellectual reductionist response. It's not "literally by accident" when they're trained to do something, as if we are not also machines that generate next actions based on learned neural weights and abstract (embedded) representations. Your issue is with semantics rather than content.

Obviously "hallucinate" and "lie" are metaphors. Get over it. These are still emergent structures that we have a lot to learn from by studying. But I suppose any attempt by researchers to do so should be disregarded because Person On The Internet has watched the 3blue1brown series on Neural Nets and knows better. We know the basic laws of physics, but spend lifetimes studying their emergent behaviors. This is really no different.

This is a non-response.

I'm also losing my ability to tolerate prose without headings, but I think that's symptomatic of this bigger issue.
