You poor TDS sufferer. A post about how science advanced by admitting new information and you go off ranting about Trump and Christians. Have you considered that America isn't the country for you? We are a Christian nation and our constitution s fit for no other. Leave us. You do not belong here. We desire neither your arms nor your counsel. Go now and lick the hand that feeds ye, and may history forget ye were our countrymen.

What happened to slashdot? At one time this racist alt right trash world have been modded down to -1. But instead it's at +5 and This post is at -1. Trump voters are just plain stupid.

I found GP2.5 to be great at academic-style research and writing; it was absolutely awful at writing code. So; I would tell it to plan some thing for me and write it in a way that could be used by another agent (Claude Code) to build the code to do the thing. In this way, it has been great! I haven't yet attempted it with 3.

That said, I found GP3.0's page to be hilarious:

It demonstrates PhD-level reasoning with top scores on Humanityâ(TM)s Last Exam (37.5% without the usage of any tools) and GPQA Diamond (91.9%). It also sets a new standard for frontier models in mathematics, achieving a new state-of-the-art of 23.4% on MathArena Apex.

It then proceeds to show, lower down on the page, an example of what it can do, by showing off 'Our Family Recipes". If there's anything that touts PhD-level reasoning and writing, it's a recipe book.

The entire EU is a protectionist bloc Canada is protectionist coffee. Tariffs are wonderful, useful tools when other countries use them. But when Trump does them they're bad. As are so many other policies like deporting illegal aliens. Obama and Biden did more and entire states and cities did not rebelv and nullify federal authority like it was fort Sumter 1865. Pure TDS.

I've noticed this kind of thing a LOT lately. Evidently this book is out called Nudge that tells its readers to annoy the shit out of their customers until they 'install the app". Because evidently running in the background and draining your battery constantly harvesting your data and monitoring your location is more profitable than actually selling the service.

I booked air tickets on a website and it was deliberately irritating, pausing for a long time between screens, showing a QR code and saying, 'tired of waiting? our app is much faster!" Hell, even Youtube is unwatchable without a Google account and giving them your real name, address, phone number for 2FA, email, backup email to cross-check databases. And once you've done all that. the jack-in-the-box pops open and it's like, let's get your social, your tax return info for last year, last three places of employment, and then upload a photo of yourself holding your ID. And your selfie cam photo wasn't clear, our facial recognition can't read it. Nice try scammer, your application has been denied. We'll be keeping the info you already entered, though.

China is like this, an entirely real-name internet. You can't so much as order food delivery without all of this. Simply entering the country requires facial scan and fingerprints.

1984 was a warning, not a role model.

Savages? What? Excuse me? Racist much? Hey, could you give us your opinion on people from India? Or tasmanian aboriginies? Or the Jews? Enlighten us! Once upon a time you'd be at -1 flamebait. But I guess it's true if you don't kick out the natzees your bar becomes a natzee bar, too. And while you're at it tell us about slt right hero and Googler James Damore, too. Go read his famous anti diversity screed again, you'd love it.

Adsense payments dropped off a cliff. This is why so many websites are laying off staff. Google wants all traffic to stay on its site. Gemini AI (yes, the one that, when asked to draw Scottish people, drew only Blacks and then asked to draw a group of diverse people also drew only Blacks.

What do you need to click through to a website for? Those can contain dangerous information like warning people not to take the COVID-19 vaccine. That disease is still out there and still dangerous. Get your boosters, everyone!

No; it's absolutely a terrible idea. It may be great for the businesses; but, it's absolutely fucking terrible for the consumer.

This is absolutely fucking insanity. Imagine having to carry 6 different cards and wondering which one a particular store is going to take.

SAS has been dead for 15y; it started with R and then Python absolutely destroyed it. No one teaches SAS in universities any longer, why would they? It's terribly expensive and absolutely fucking dead.

We migrated away from SAS back in 2017 and never looked back. The only verticals still using it are heavily regulated and running long-standing legacy code that they're slowly migrating to Python.

I remember absolutely dying when they tried to renegotiate our contract UP back in 2015. I flat out told them they were dead and we were moving away from them and they told me, "good luck managing your data without us!"

Two companies and 10 years later, we're doing just fine and they are not.

China IS bad! Tiananmen Square massacre. Enslavement of Tibet. Uighur genocide. Constantly threatening to invade Taiwan. One-party rule, just like in California. Check out the youtube channel Laowhy86, he gives constant updates of just how bad it is over there.

I knew the hard left would be along to take a gigantic diarrhea dump in the mouths of the AmeriKKKan working class, and the rsilvergun account does not disappoint.

It's not the book learnin', it's a class issue. University graduates want to work with other university graduates. Working with high schoolers weirds them out and makes them feel uncomfortable, especially when they make less.

. The wife in the story is a great example. Women are getting all the degrees, and a woman wants a husband with higher status than her. But women won't accept lowly men who spend their time bending over with buttcracks showing and come home dirty and hairy, demanding dinner made from scratch and then later sex, no matter if the woman consents or not. And if she refuses either, she gets a black eye. The highly educated have very low rates of DV, but for working class? We all saw the old TV show C.O.P.S. DV call after DV call, trailer park after trailer park, and it's always an uneducated man who attacked a defenselesss woman. This is why women won't marry them, or if they do the marriages won't last.

Here's a "joke" that I learned way back when I worked as a clerk at Sears Automotive, from the wrench-turners: "Whaddaya say to a woman with two black eyes? Nuthin'! You already done told the bitch twice!"

These low IQ men who can't run a business without the wife's business administration degree doing the heavy lifting are a danger to women, and educated women are fools to choose them. Wild bears are literally less dangerous. They kill fewer women every year than working class (or unemployed and on government benefits) men. This is why women choose the bear.

Hussein Obama himself blocked Chinese solar panel imports with prohibitive tariffs, "to protect AmeriKKKan jobs."

The planet is boiling, a huge hurricane just wrecked the Caribbean, gain, a wildfire burnt down LA, and "dey took our jerbs" is the watchword, even though the US never had any solar manufacturing capacity anyway. The bucktoothed hillbillies aren't going to work anyway. Most of them are on SNAP and have been since LBJ.

By the way, the whole "free Tibet" thing is bullshit. Tibet was never free. Tibet under the lamas was a literal medieval society complete with mandatory state religion and serfs, literal slaves. China's CPC marched in the Red Army, liberated the people, introduced athiesm, and most enraging of all taught women to read.

The lamas believed so much in their people they ran away to India where they still are today.

Ever wanted an atheist government of scientists? The CPC is for you. Xi Jinping is a chemical engineer. Stupids like Trump are locked out of government. Not a single war since 1972. Their cheap solar is powering the world that's smart enough to trade with them.

Good guy CPC.

1. There are a lot of empty seats; a lot.

2. The demo wasn't live, likely due to the huge failure of an event that the Meta one was.

3. They noted that you do all of this 'hands-free', likely an intentional knock at Meta's offering.

4. The examples were...odd. Who the fuck is going to be using this to shop for a fucking rug? Come on; give some real-life examples that are IMPORTANT. None of these were.

5. The entire presentation's style, across multiple different presenters, was...exhausting...halting...jarring...and...really undergraduate level. It was almost as if they were being fed what to say in their earpieces, not from memory and not in a fluid and practiced way.

Personally? I love the idea of AR glasses that work well. I want to have live subtitles for humans talking to me as I'm hard of hearing and hearing aids do not work well for me, particularly in public spaces.

I want it to give me important information, respond to my environment in ways that are useful (telling me where I am really isn't that; I know where the fuck I am--tell me what I should be doing or where I should be going next, perhaps?)

I know these are early adopter level devices, but they're just fucking ugly due to their bulk.

I strongly prefer this option to Meta's simply because I don't have to do stupid fucking mime-style hand gestures, but I want this technology to be useful, now, not in 5 years. We're going to see this largely flop just like so many other AR/VR toys out there unless they make this something more than a gimmicky piece of shit.

You clearly do not live in the US. The legal system does NOT do anything about anything (other than child support and alimony) as outlined in a divorce decree.

And, even if they MIGHT do something, you have to wait 12+ months to get on the court's docket, paying thousands of dollars to glorified expensive secretaries in the process while you wait.

The entire system is fucking broken.

Because shiftiness and dishonesty are built into the Chinese psyche. We have measured the Asiatic brainpan with calipers and found that it lacks the capacity of the white brain. Why is it the more socially progressive the account, the more viciously racist it is? Has anyone figured this out?
