Apparently there’s some huge drama in data hoarding communities about manufacturers switching between different recording technologies, and how everybody is worried that they aren’t going to last for 5-10-100-1000 years.

Contact a gym, delete a lawyer, hit the Facebook.

Okay but sincere question: does the idiom translate?

I cannot for the life of me find it, but there was an article before the modern explosion of ML into the public consciousness where a guy found that one of the big search engines offered an API to “rate” nsfw images on a numeric scale. The idea was that site admins could use it to automatically filter content with a bit more granularity.

So naturally, he trained a naive image generating model with the nsfw score as the sole metric of success, and got results much like you describe. Results were pretty much “what if Dali and kronenberg had a baby with slaanesh?”

Couldn’t make it past one paragraph, article or comment 👍.

I know this is going to be a wildly unpopular opinion: regulations like these are written in blood. There was apparently no real effort to make the church properly habitable. People would be just as outraged (or more) if this headline was describing 18 charred bodies found in a burned down church that was REPEATEDLY told to do things the right way.

If this was anything other than performative or a malicious attempt to secure lawsuits and/or headlines, the church would have been updated, they would have secured an appropriate facility, or these people would be in the congregation’s homes.

Yeah, I want to get in on that racket. Red cross says it costs $3900 to run a blood drive.

And as others have said, plasma donation is much more effective.

Nobody has a problem censoring hateful and harmful content, so long as they’re the ones that get to decide what that means.

Capitalism is when bad stuff

The other side of this I’ve seen is vendors setting the price to really high levels when out of stock. I’ve heard this explained as “the algorithm will punish you” for going out of stock and “if someone places an order, you can always scalp one”

Yeah, the fucking idiot will probably all blow it on something stupid like an ER visit.

It’s either a big whoops or intentional.

Basic 9mm subs have about the same energy as standard loads. The most likely scenarios as I see:

1. Really dirty/dry gun.
2. They used a fixed mount instead of a booster. With tilting barrel pistols (most), you have to let the barrel float back a bit to unlock from the slide. You use a special mount called a booster to let this happen.
3. They used heavier recoil springs to prevent the gun from cycling - this would help keep the suppressed gun quiet. Alternatively, they may have used something with a locking bolt, but the hand motions look like your typical slide action.

A 600 kwh battery pack so… Rocks can roll down hill? Galaxy brain moment.

I really like the campfire analogy. It’s worse on purpose because that’s the experience they want.

Ambiguous should:

We “should” be able to rely on an immutable and reliable system to provide for us when we are old. Like a government that gives a fuck or something.

Without that, you “should” still make safe and sane financial investments, even if the system is rigged and corrupt, because no suitable alternative exists.

That’s a spoon…

What about round corners?

All humans and only one dog?

It’s more like if you show up with a baby photo… A reasonable person might say “that was my child, the way they were long ago. They were smaller then, and they’ve grown and learned since. They had many flaws, and they still haven’t grown out of many of them. It’s important to remember the way they were, just as it is important to know them as they are.”

Jets are in many ways expensive because they can’t be expendible. They also make an bunch of compromises to accommodate keeping a human alive.

For the cost of a single f22, you could put up 60 Valkyries. I think I know which side I would bet on.
