Ludus Latrunculorum was popular for a while.

You are right private relay itself isn't the problem. However apple still screwed up here,e because its their passkey implementation that is bypassing it.

I sort of have the opposite problem, a super agressive immune system. Sounds good right? Not fucking really. Flus have hospitalized me multiple times nearly drowning me in phglem. Vaccines tend to make me feel lousy because the reaction is so strong but dear lord is it an improvement over the disease itself.

Needless to say, covid scared the shit out of me. Still havent had it yet. I think.

It wasn't so much a vibe as that as court staff we'd see the evidence that gets excluded (which is mostly a strictly rules-of-evidence) thing, and once you've done enough trials you realise how misleading body language is.

For instance a Defendent who acts angrily on the dock is MORE likely to get convicted because the jury thinks 'Wow this angry dude sure seems like he's a mean person". However its actually the ones who act angrily on the dock who are more likely to be actually innocent because being falsely accused tends to enrage people. You also get phenomena like DNA evidence will often doom a defendent on a rape trial, but often all your actually proving is that the person had sex with them. Those DO tend to get excluded from the cases where the defence is that the sex was consentual, at least now days.

You also get awful stuff with psychiatric evidence. The "psychopathy" thing is really scientifically suspicious. Mainstream psychiatry doesnt really have that diagnosis, and its considered somewhat of a pop-sci thing Sociopathic personality disorder does exist. But you'll get forensic psychs say "I diagnose this person as a psychopath" and like, my dude that isnt a DSM diagnosis. He MIGHT be a sociopath. But so might your boss, and your boss probably doesnt have a vat of dead backpackers in his basement.

Sifting through this stuff really requires a lot of experience, and thats something most jurors dont have. I absolutely believe the 1 in 3 cases having a bad judgement thing. Its just a really hard thing to measure because you need an analytical way of working out which judgements where false, and if you had that, we'd probably be using it in appeals.

"the ones moving gain-of-function research on human viruses to Wuhan" ..... and other fever dream paranoid conspiracy theories.

Can we please stop it with the schizophrenic lab leak and "gain of function" conspiracies. Those where pretty much ruled out as possibilities as early as 2021.

Building data centers also does create some short-term work for the trade industry. More demand for electricity would actually be a good thing too, if the need was met by building new renewable generation capacity, rather than just jacking up prices.

Basically, it's the lack of regulation that's the problem - not the data centers.

Landfills sometimes do end up contaminating the groundwater.

Also, it's absolutely possible to cool data centers without using any water at all. You'll just use more electricity. The issue mostly that the water is cheaper than the electricity.

This.

Primaries are almost always a circle jerk. Where the rubber meets road will be the general election, and I don't even have to look on Kashi/Polymarket to tell you how that's going to turn out in a +16 Trump district.

This is my preferred way of dealing with quick service food/beverage establishments. I don't want the human experience of waiting in a queue behind other customers, or having to explain my order to someone who is just going to enter it into a computer anyway.

This happened to me, too. None of the online bill pay methods worked, so I took my e-scooter to the nearest T-Mobile store and paid it. It's absolutely astonishing that they don't have their billing system check if the bill is less than their payment processing costs and to just void the last bill if that's the case.

I was on an ultra cheap grandfathered plan, but the most recent price increase pushed the bill beyond what Visible costs, so I finally jumped ship.

> You likely replicated the sort of calculation they did. Demonstrated how to get oneself into trouble.

Yes, that was the entire point of my post, to give a specific example of what these LLMs are saying!

Not sure what you mean by that ?

I was just confirming the abysmal advice that AI, even something well regarded such as Sonnet 5, is dishing out.

Of course the teens would have been better off consulting a specialized hiking app and not AI, but there again adults have been following Google Maps and GPS directions and driving into lakes, so not so surprising.

The "add 30 mins" if you are doing it hopping one one leg is, well, interesting ...

Here is Sonnet 5's rather bad take on it:

> what would be a respectable time to walk 18 miles?

For an 18-mile walk, times generally break down like this:

        Casual/relaxed pace (~20 min/mile, 3 mph): around 6 hours
        Average brisk pace (~15â"17 min/mile, 3.5â"4 mph): around 4.5â"5 hours
        Fast/fit pace (~13â"14 min/mile, 4.3â"4.5 mph): around 4â"4.2 hours
        Competitive race-walking pace: could dip toward 3â"3.5 hours, but that's serious effort

For most reasonably fit people doing this as a single long walk (not a race), finishing in around 5 hours, including a few short breaks, would be a solid, respectable result. If you're doing it on hilly terrain, in heat, or with a loaded pack, add 30â"60+ minutes.

***

So .. 18 miles on the flat - nice brisk 5 hour walk.

Doing it on hilly terrain, with a loaded pack, on a hot day ... add 30 min.

Hmmm ...
