oh, no, no, no! booze and a goose should never go together!

they are very different in my mind. perhaps because i first came across them in their respective contexts through reading.

even when speaking, to me, lose rhymes with booze and loose rhymes with goose.

this has never been a problem for me, personally.

tag and categorize

that’s a whole other angle; one which i avoided altogether.

but i do converse in different contexts on different topics. i do like to recall things in an easier manner. i do like to do all the other things i listed in my OC.

im may have started as a conversational tool, but it’s pervaded every aspect of our lives now to such an extent that “whatsapp me” has become a generecised verb. in that process, as society, we’ve forgotten the benefits of email.

why people have moved from email to im is beyond me.

one gives up topical conversation threads with relevant aubject lines, easier search and retrieval, thread-specific groups and readers, more robust spam-filtration, the lack of necessity of a phone number, more flexible options for cross-platform access, downloadability of your messages, options to host your own server, and so on.

in return, you get perhaps a tad more convenience from an im – even that is debatable, though.

it’s high time we all returned to the friendly envelope instead of the intrusive chat bubble.

edit: another benefit: with email, you can still communicate with people who’ve chosen a different email platform. they don’t have to have the same domain as your email provider.

good erection discipline, though – what with the option to “pop out” being greyed out.

… someone using a GPT model for something like generating a list of words is a little like a climate activist yelling at someone for taking their car to the grocery store while standing across the street from a coal-burning power plant.

no, it’s like a billion people taking their respective cars to the grocery store multiple times a day each while standing across the street from one coal-burning power plant.

each person can say they are the only one and their individual contribution is negligible. but get all those drips together and you actually have a deluge of unnecessary wastage.

i dunno. i really like the idea of ma nature fighting back.

great value for all that energy it expends, indeed!

great value for all that energy it expends, indeed!

so, basically, even a broken clock is right twice a day?

“ISS! More like H-ISS! amirite?!”

someone should point out to them that a vpn is the technological equivalent of the burqa.

either ban both, or allow both.

while you may be right, one would think that the problem lies in the overestimated peception of the abilities of llms leading to misplaced investor confidence – which in turn leads to a bubble ready to burst.

… bunch of douchebag techbros thinking it’s going to solve all the world’s problems with no side effects…

one doesn’t imagine any of them even remotely thinks a technological panacaea is feasible.

… while they get super rich off it.

because they’re only focusing on this.

Some of us work our asses off because we’re passionate

i’m so sorry to hear that. hope you get something at home which can share in that abundant passion.

get well soon.

i am unable to understand how that works; please help.

if these are indeed references to assertions made in their paper, how can they be irrelevant?

oh no, linekar is leaving motd? first wrighty, now him?

i don’t think shearer and micah can pull it off themselves going forward. they’re both good but, let’s face it, neither has the gravitas needed to anchor the show.

i don’t like headline hyperbole.

the only people who want to put in longer hours at the office have absolutely nothing to go home to.

they should be pitied instead of being vilified. drop them a “get well soon” message in social media should you encounter them.

i’m not clicking on a reddit link so this assertion may be wrong, but i don’t think the case in the OP has anything to do with trump?
