Duolingo isn’t just teaching vocabulary — it’s teaching real communication.
Wow, nice, even the article’s written by AI! /s
Come to think of it, why would I even bother learning a new language in the first place? I’ll just have my AI talk to my friend’s AI, and that way I won’t have to think or interact with another human at all!
Upgrade it to Cat6a.
In Texas, voters just passed a constitutional amendment giving parents the right “to exercise care, custody, and control of the parent’s child, including the right to make decisions concerning the child’s upbringing” specifically for cases like this. Almost everyone I spoke to was in full support of it and kept saying “obviously a parent should decide what’s best for their child”. But as someone who grew up in a toxic religious family, it makes me so sad to see that there’s no protection for kids in these situations. Parents can ensure they’re doomed to a life of ignorance and bigotry before they even have a chance. :(
I’m kinda with you tbh. At the rate he’s going, maybe, just maybe, the frog will realize it’s being boiled.
Ah, yep, that’s what it is. Thanks for the clarification. Found this in another article:
The state included identifiable information about voters, including dates of birth, driver’s license numbers and the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, Pierce said.
So does Texas actually. But the part that I finally found in this article which is noteworthy is this:
The state included identifiable information about voters, including dates of birth, driver’s license numbers and the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, Pierce said.
So what got sent to the federal government included additional PII not present in the public dataset.
My experience from community college was quite a mixed bag. Some of the professors were amazing and genuinely loved to teach, and I benefited so much from those classes. And then some professors just seemed bitter that they weren’t at a university and made their classes miserable. I even had a few classes “taught” by someone that didn’t even have a bachelor’s (through a technicality where the dean proctored the actual exams). Overall, I learned enough and got the degree, and I was able to break into software engineering with just an associate degree and no debt. So worth it in the end!
This reminds me of that old SCP where some photo of a mountain had like 4 pixels of the “anomaly” in it, which would trigger if you noticed the 4 pixels. SCP-096 I think. Haven’t been on that site in ages, lol.
They were not
Where are you getting that from? As I mentioned in another reply, you’ve been able to request voter records for years now, and they already include basically all the information the article is talking about: https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/forms/pi.pdf. There are several websites that submit these requests and then publish the results online for free. My voting history (including name, address, age, etc.) has been up on these sites for years. I do not like that at all, but I have no control over it. I’m not really sure what is different about what was handed over from Texas to the federal government…
Yeah, I’m kinda confused here as well.

Damn, that’s one painful way to get some extra protein (and chitin) on your commute…
Yeah. I opened the comments because I was genuinely interested in how communism tackles this and was kind of looking forward to a thought-provoking answer. The above just kind of dances around the question entirely. I especially loved this line:
No one knows that communism looks like yet.
Gives me major “trust me bro” energy. Kind of reminds me of the religion I was in as a kid where every difficult question was answered with “no one fully understands God, you just have to have faith”.
Sharing this from the article to hopefully save the post a few downvotes:
Coding was never the bottleneck. Not recently. Not in the last decade. Arguably not since we stopped feeding punchcards into machines.
Tbh, I don’t really want to be in a relationship with anyone whose standards are low enough to like me. Guess I’ll be alone forever. 🫡
I know this comes from a good place, but you are misunderstanding how LLMs work at a fundamental level. The LLMs “admitted” to those things in the same way that parrots speak English. LLMs aren’t self-aware and do not understand their own implementation or purpose. They just spit out a statistically reasonable series of words from their dataset. You could just as easily get LLMs to admit they are an alien, the flying spaghetti monster, or the second coming of Jesus.
Realistically, engaging with these LLMs directly in any way is not really a good idea. It wastes resources, shows engagement with the app, and gives it more training data.
I’m not even going to bother commenting on that train wreck of a post, but I just wanted to mention that I hate the writing style of programming-related LinkedIn posts. They’re just chock-full of sweeping generalizations presented as absolute truth in an extremely patronizing tone.
Why can’t people just say, “In my opinion, X technology is a better fit for Y situation for Z reason,” instead of “Every time you encounter X, you must do Y, otherwise you’re dead wrong.”
It’s just simultaneously so arrogant and also aggressively ignorant. If someone spoke to me like that in real life, I would never want to speak with them again. And these people are broadcasting this shit to their entire professional network.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launched with what some suspected to be AI-generated textures that, as it clarified to El País, were then replaced with custom assets in a swift patch five days after release.
Fuck using Gen AI to replace human-made art, and fair enough for pulling the award, but I do think it’s worth making it clear exactly how much of the art is/was AI. And the answer is, very little at launch and none currently.
Mainly just piano. I like playing chords with my left hand and the melody with my right hand. I’m not great at keeping steady rhythm. If I or anyone else starts singing along, I immediately lose focus. I mostly just play for myself for stress relief.
I’m trying to learn guitar, but it’s slow going for the time being.
