That’s kind of him, I got tired of losing The Game years ago.

Yes, maths. It’s the alternative short form of mathematics.

Exactly. I’ve got to leave a deposit with my landlord in case I leave a mess when i move out, same should go for these oil companies.

There is a good chance…

Probabilistically, the early bird theory is unlikely. If development of life were to follow a normal distribution, it’d be highly improbable that we’d be in the tails as opposed to the main body.

I’m not quite sure what you’re suggesting, but I’m sure I don’t like it.

…w…would? ^w^

Yeah.

Technical users are laughing their way to the bank on it, though. It’s so easy to set up an old htpc for dirt cheap and just use it that way without “smart” functionality.

Exhibit 5: Falling Down

It appears to be a full length article. I don’t have a subscription or anything, and was able to see it, but archive.ph only pulled the 3 paragraph version.

Man who wrote self help book says his own advice really helped him.

The declining birth rate isn’t going to hurt anyone alive today.

Having a top heavy age demographic means less tax revenue will be split between more required services. There will also be fewer labourers with more labour requirements. The only ones it won’t hurt are the billionaires.

It’s probably a good thing in the long run that human population is stabilising, but it’s going to be problematic until we get to that stable state.

Religion today is voluntary, at least in most of the world.

You often don’t have the autonomy to not participate in religion as a child if your parents want you to.

there are plenty of video essays that I’ve watched for content that I never watched in the first place, because the analysis was highly entertaining and is much less time consuming

This makes me think of Angela Collier’s essay segment “that time I read and enjoyed Ayn Rand”, because nobody should ever have to sit through reading Atlas Shrugged.

It seems like people are so eagre to bash AI that they’re willing to invent their own narrative to shit on anyone who remotely sounds like they support it, even if that’s not the case.

I appreciate you actually taking the time and effort to read.

He specifically asked Copilot which percentage to set.

Ah, I see. That’s not at all clear from what the article says:

In the video, the influencer activates Copilot with the “Hey Copilot” voice activation and then asks it how they can increase the font size via Windows Settings.

Perhaps the original video has what you’re talking about.

Aura quickly manually sets the scale to 200%, which solves the problem but isn’t what Copilot actually suggested…

Isn’t that what almost anyone would do?

I’ve seen some pretty silly AI blunders before, but this one seems rather harmless. You’re still going to end up at the setting you need to change to solve the problem, which to me falls squarely in the “close enough” bin.

Them: you can’t just assume X.
You: you can’t assume ¬X.

They didn’t assert ¬X. You’re arguing with a strawman.

I’ll just send a picture:

This was before I added the netting. I use tomato clips to hold up the plants:

Then the netting just goes all the way around the outside hanging down from the top, and secured at the bottom with ground clips.
