Anyone who has watched Office Space knows the pain and suffering that can be brought by sharing the name with someone famous.

Just ask Michael Bolton.

Why are you using grams per pound?

In the US, protein on food labels is measured in grams. Body weight is measured in pounds.

Talking about grams per pound is the standard by all US fitness people talk about dietary macros.

It works out to easy math. 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight is the standard recommendation for people looking to build muscle in the gym.

You have the usual suspects like rsilverman and drinkypoo making wildly false statements (Putin, Nazi, etc), get voted up to +5 and any corrections downvoted to -1.

Over time the echo effect gives all mod points to the whackos and normal people move on from the echo chamber of crazies.

The Trump favorability RealClearPolitics Poll Average has him sitting at 45.9% today, which is just fine for summer when most people have tuned out of politics to go on their summer vacations.

The judge is an 80 year old who was appointed by Democrat Bill Clinton in 1995.

People of his demographic cherish the New York Times and don't understand the first thing about AI, cloud computing or really any kind of computing.

OpenAI is going to have a tough run at this. The judge's innate biases will certainly play a role in how he rules on the motions of the case.

Ironically, it is because of Disney's own actions that AI content generation is a legal minefield.

I don't feel sorry for them one bit.

Interesting that they have the kids write the answers for this exam using Java.

They have to pick something. You can't switch it every year or public school teachers won't keep up.

It is fairly trivial to jump from Java to C++, PHP, C#, Dart or any number of C-like languages.

Worst case, you flip the variable name before the type as the function parameter and you've instantly opened another few dozen common languages. (Kotlin, Golang, Swift, Rust, etc)

Java is a fine language to teach if statements, for loops and arrays.

Not to mention, in their example of the recent Los Angeles fires, they were caused by arson, not ambient temperature.

The last thing we would want is inaccuracies in wikipedia. lol

As much as I hate to give Microsoft credit, it's a smart move to bring in grok.

The cynical side of me thinks Microsoft doesn't care who's AI system they integrate as long as corporate customers pay for it.

Isn't it interesting that when investors have their own money on the line, the environmental virtue signaling goes out the window.

Suddenly the Green Energy initiatives of Exxon and BP should be given more credit.

I fall into the category of someone with hardware compatible with Win11 but refuse to update.

First, I don't want to make a windows account to sign in to anything. Sure there are hacks, but I'm going to postpone it as long as possible.

And second, I hate forced reboots of my laptop. It kills my private browser windows.

So for me, October can't come fast enough. I want the forced reboots to stop.

Reddit will never go after all of the bots. Bots boost reddit's advertising impression numbers and add to the stats reported to investors.

This is nothing more than a high profile PR campaign by reddit. The German researchers put a spotlight on how easily reddit users are influenced by propaganda. We all knew this, but having the cold hard proof is embarrassing for them.

Why would a normal person need an AI chip on their local computer to talk with an online chatbot?

These AI PCs are destined to flop. It's the hardware maker's marketing team preying on the AI-everything media frenzy.

Political Science, Climate Science, Gender Studies Science?

What does cite science even mean?

Are we supposed to forget the amount of junk and non-reproducible science?

"Nature", which most of us can agree holds a certain standard for science, has issued reports trusting science: https://www.nature.com/article...

Could I get 48/48 on a first year exam?

Possibly. But even if it's a 46/48 or 47/48, it's still a high passing score.

Could my classmates? I went to school with a lot of retards so probably not. And I'm 110% okay with the retards failing the test in any field of study.
