Dang I didn’t know they got that cheap.
Thanks for the search advice.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 1 week ago:
Honestly I feel this was always the goal (one of several), but R&D is expensive. Shipping an odd phone that people still buy keeps the shareholders happy while the multi-year research process can eventually produce more usable results.
Single-flip phones were the awkward teenagers, now this phone can be the 18-20 age young adult, fully featured, but needing refinement. Next gen or the one after this will add a lot more robustness.

Translating the text, it seems correct. Some AI can get that, but it means it’s at least a lot more likely to be real.

- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 3 months ago:
Thats part of correctness to me, delivering an order that taco bell actually would make is important.
Semantics aside, though, we agree. That’s very important.

They do, my concern is more about if that JSON is correct, not just well-formed.
Also, 18000 waters might be correct JSON, but makes an AI a bad cashier.
- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 3 months ago:
Its just an API.
There’s a few ways they could go about it. They could have part of the prompt be something like “when the customer is done taking their order, create a JSON file with the order contents” and set up a dumb register essentially that looks for those files and adds that order like a standard POS would.
They could spell out a tutorial in the prompt, "to order a number 6 meal, type “system.order.meal(6)” calling the same functions that a POS system would, and have that output right to a terminal.
They could have their POS system be open on an internal screen, and have a model that can process images, and have it specify a coordinate pair, to simulate a touch screen, and make it manually enter an order that way as an employee would.
There’s lots of ways to hook up the AI, and it’s not actually that different from hooking up a normal POS system in the first place, although just because one method does allow an AI to interact doesn’t mean it’ll go about it correctly.

- Comment on The people developing vegan meat alternatives must have eaten a lot of meat beforehand so they can replicate the taste and texture. 3 months ago:
Honey is questionably vegan because the book that establishes the basic principles of veganism specifically said its people’s choice whether to consider it as acceptable or not because of the lack of harm. If I recall correctly he said something like the debate is worth having but not worth fighting over, because everyone who is even having the debate is trying to do the right thing.
- Comment on The people developing vegan meat alternatives must have eaten a lot of meat beforehand so they can replicate the taste and texture. 3 months ago:
I’d advocate for long-term harm reduction, myself.
While obviously it would be better for the cow to have been able to live a full life, but in (I think) 15 years or so that cow would be dead either way.
Something that can be helping new cows regularly, like a Beyond Burger that can appeal to those that would otherwise just pick a normal burger, I basically consider it to be harm-neutral after the lifespan of the animals they’re using for those taste tests is up.
Honestly, this is the trolley problem. On the main lane, we have a bunch of cows about to be run over by our “Meat Industry” trolley. Pull the lever to redirect the trolley and butcher some cows for beyond burger development. I would pull the lever, but it’s not a clear moral win.

I’m not sure, so if I were you I’d test the waters before committing to moving in.
Have your girlfriend over more often, stay for dinner, those things. If she’s already doing those things or it goes well, have her stay the night a few times. After that, have her stay for a week. Pay attention to how the kids and your ex react, not just what they say about it. Do they avoid going into rooms where your girlfriend is? Do they seem more annoyed than usual at signs of her presence, like a left-out plate?
When you do all this, treat her like a resident, not a guest.
If all that goes smoothly, I’d give the move-in a shot. If it doesn’t, then you haven’t committed your girlfriend to giving up her current living arrangements, she can go back to them.

Wouldn’t the square root just give plus/minus i? Seems correct enough.
- Comment on What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops? 4 months ago:
Eat enough that your body gets used to it?
If I had to guess I’d say its based on the amount of water I drink, and maybe coffee poops keeping me regular, less about the diet itself.
Dunno for sure, but I do know I have been so regular it was a surprise when someone told me a bidet reduces toilet paper usage, because I just didn’t believe it could do so. That’s because it can’t in my case. Takes me about as long to poop as it does to pee. Wish I could tell you what exactly I’m doing right but something is right.

- Comment on What is the magic diet for no-wipe poops? 4 months ago:
Always gotta wipe, just in case, but I rarely actually need to. No idea what I’m doing right so here’s some facts about my diet
-
I drink a gallon+ between straight water, coffee, and flavored sparkling water (no calorie, aspartame-sweetened)
-
My breakfast is usually cereal with 1% milk or bacon and eggs once a week.
Ramen for lunch
Pizza or pasta for dinner, with a vegetable side
Fruits and whatnot are eaten intermittently as snacks.
Hope this helps I guess its not the best diet but I’m always regular.

- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 4 months ago:
That’s true but anyone agaimt its inclusion would just say it doesn’t add to the story. “Clearly it detracts from the story, as the player would be distracted by the horrific event instead of enjoying the game” -some hypothetical mastercard Exec, right before fining Valve.
It’s not a court, so there’s no appeal from that, unless there’s an appeal granted by the contract itself.

- Comment on Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison' 5 months ago:
A lot of our neurons are with us for our whole life. Early neuron degeneration is what causes Alzheimer’s, Parkinsons, and similar disorders.
Not all neurons last a lifetime, and there are kinds that die off and are replaced, but a good chunk of them aren’t meant to replicate anymore and so won’t be freed of microplastics by bloodletting, and would cause serious problems if microplastics harm their normal processes.
- Comment on Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison' 5 months ago:
Regular cells die or split regularly. When they die, white blood cells eat them, and they’ll be part of filtering the blood.
Neurons don’t though. There’s still some concerns.

Well the IRS says it is accurate.
It doesn’t say accurate to what standard but I think its pretty clear that “tax law” is the default here.
