In a recent by-election I voted in, the ballots were 2-3 feet long with 91 candidates on them. This was in Canada, where we only have paper ballots. The majority of the candidates only registered as part of a protest to get the govt. to reconsider other voting methods than FPTP.

OneDrive: the best idea since sliced bread.

AP also showed some states red or blue with no vote tallies. Notably, at 11pm EST, California turned solid blue immediately on the AP map, surprising no one.

The fact that he finds this joke funny says a ton about him. I get the roast comedy angle people bring up here, but I just don’t see how anyone could find that line funny.

I mean, I’m a leftist, an anti-racist, and yet there are are some racist jokes I still find funny due to the way they’re crafted, even if I don’t tell them anymore because some people still take them on the first degree (both racists and non-racists.)

But I just don’t see the joke here.

Check out Gandahar. Anyone who thinks Star Trek has the most messed up time travel plotlines needs to watch this.

I love Bakshi’s LotR and Wizards but I think his best movie is American Pop. Not as WTF as Wizards, but it’s so epic!

Missed opportunity: the body in the picture should have been for an arch-top guitar.

The term you’re looking for is “uncanny valley”

Earliest game I can think of would be Super Metroid, with it’s X-Ray Scanner, which is an upgrade you get partway through the game. It’s not 100% necessary, but some of the game’s secrets are designed with it in mind.

The Metroid Prime games implemented an FPS version of this pretty well. Really contributed to the atmosphere in some places. Also, while the visors let you see otherwise invisible things, they also made other things harder to see (or, in the case of the scanning visor, you couldn’t shoot while it was on.)

The last two Dell laptops my work provided me with have little sliders that physically cover the camera. I use them all the time while working from home.

Is the debate being simulcast on all the major networks? I seem to remember seeing the Trump/Harris debate on ABC, CBS and NBC (just with different talking heads before and after).

If so, ABC should broadcast the debate with fact-checking overlays (Pop-up video style?) and advertise the shit out of the fact that they’ll be doing this.

Reread your attempt again.

“Siri, how long has this been going on?”

But they were hacking all the IPs simultaneously!

I don’t like the idea of restricting the model’s corpus further. Rather, I think it would be good if it used a bigger corpus, but added the date of origin for each element as further context.

Separately, I think it could be good to train another LLM to recognize biases in various content, and then use that to add further context for the main LLM when it ingests that content. I’m not sure how to avoid bias in that second LLM, though. Maybe complete lack of bias is an unattainable ideal that you can only approach without ever reaching it.

She’s worth .5 of the original price. At most.

Why doesn’t someone just fork it and change the name?

Like, I dunno, “Super Human Image Treatment” or “Consistently Lovely Image Treatment Oriented for Real Imaging Stars”

I hope SNL get Steve Martin to play him.

The Democratic Order of Planets has a streaming platform, now?
