“Eat this if you want to live.”

Hold my beer.

And throw in a side of pork belly.

Yes. If there’s any one thing that pisses me off about the latest “AI” bubble, it may be that… AI has been around for decades, and has been useful for decades while this “GenAI” scam BS is taking center stage.

I took a course in college named “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence” in like 2005. In that course, I learned about the A* algorithm which is used among other purposes by games to let NPC’s navigate from point A to point B potentially around obstacles or over terrain of different passability. That shit is genuinely useful and bears no resemblence to LLMs or Stable Diffusion. And yet it was called “AI” back in… like the 1960s and was still called “AI” in 2005. Probably still is in college courses around the world.

Now, I haven’t read the article, but I’d have to hope nobody put too much blind faith in the AI’s output here. But the right tools in the hands of sufficiently well-educated scientists, be they called “AI” or not, can certainly assist in things like drug development.

Oh, also, you can call just about anything that’s done with code “AI” even if it really has nothing to do with artificial intelligence. My employer was fairly recently sold an automated customer service tool by a big, well-known software vendor that another team I work distantly with had to configure/program, every step from soup to nuts. (There was absolutely no machine learning involved or anything like that. This other team had to decide all the flows the customers could go through.) But you can bet your ass you couldn’t read any three consecutive words in any of their marketing materials about it without at least one of the three being “AI”.

I’m sure there are microwave ovens no more sophisticated than the one I have (spoiler: it’s the dumbest microwave oven I could find) that are being marketed with the term “AI”.

…

maybe…

Wake me up when I can hack it.

So, the DOJ released a memo saying basically that there isn’t a list and Epstein killed himself. Why are the MAGAts changing their tune now? Is it because if the DOJ said it and Trump is currently at the helm, then (by their logic) Trump must approve of downplaying the whole “Epstein list” thing?

You’re not wrong.

Definitely one of the scarier creatures in D&D, at least accounting for hit dice.

I kinda want to put it in a D&D campaign. Maybe an evil druid makes a magical device that births an army of evil treants or redcaps or something.

Can you define your terms a bit? What do you mean by “range” and “angle-range?” Also, if you’re taking about angles, angles relative to what in particular? (Maybe relative to the line segment connecting the centers of the two circles? Relative to a tangent of one of the circles at the point of intersection?) Are you looking to solve this only for the case where the two circles have equal radii, or for the more general case where their radii may be unequal?

Also, I’ll assume Euclidian space here. Non-Euclidian isn’t my forte. I guess, though, to say I know nothing about it would be a bit hyperbolic.

Why isn’t that common to cover with a blanket other parts of our body when we feel cold, like the belly or lower back?

It… is?

There’s at least one other condition that’s commonly misdiagnosed as autism: schizoid personality disorder. I’d imagine at least some who don’t quite qualify for an autism diagnosis would be well described as schizoid. There may well be other conditions that also share a lot in common with autism that might be similarly good diagnoses for certain folks who don’t quite qualify for an autism spectrum diagnosis. But it’s also valid for some folks who don’t qualify as on the spectrum to just qualify as not having autism.

I guess if it splinters the GOP any, it’s a good thing, maybe?

Then again, look how the whole Tea Party thing worked out. (Spoilers: not good.)

Mine wasn’t really all that bad, but the time that occurs to me involves me at like 5 or 6 years old, snow, a sled, a metal fence post, and a big red bump on my forehead. I hit pretty hard, but I don’t think I was concussed or anything.

Your post is all over the place with like 3 different unrelated topics.

The 30k thing is great for you, and maybe a coincidence. (You didn’t make it clear.) But I assure you syncronicities aren’t unique to your faith.

And I have no idea what that has to do with the meeting or the bible verse you referenced.

What are the chances of two separate gender reveal parties happening simultaneously using the same exact means of displaying blue/pink in the same apartment building exactly one apartment directly above the other?

Also, it bothers me way more than it should that on the middle one, the arrow goes from the movie frame to the window and the other two are the other way around.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure my family was only the second owners of my house as well. All I know about the builder of my house is:

• The same guy was responsible for building basically all the houses on my street.
• He didn’t survey very carefully. All the property lines are off by like two feet. Lol. It’s caused me some heartache with the neighbors to my south with property disputes. (Well, to be fair, the neighbors to my south would have caused the property dispute had the property lines not been off.)

Oh, I think I know what’s going on. It’s interpreting the number with a period on the end as a numbered/ordered list. Putting a space before the dot should fix it.

123. This is an ordered list.

And fixed:

321 . And this is not.

Still weird that the number’s sticking off to the side and getting cut off. Probably depends what client you’re using. In Lemmy-UI, it’s not cut off, but the number is further left than it would otherwise be. Jerboa looks fine, but it’s clearer on Jerboa that it’s interpreting it as an ordered list.
