I think one sentence makes it hit less hard. It’s more surprising with two sentences, and the “sly eyes” and the paragraph break help with it.

There are so many services for formatting sources…why use an LLM for this?

They gave it a link to the paper, not the text of the paper. So it probably couldn’t actually access the URL and just pulled from its training.

It’s not a consumer decision. Women’s clothes are often created very cheaply. Adding pockets costs money. Therefore cheap (see slimmer clothes) are created without pockets, even if women would wear them with pockets. Your own explanation actually agrees with that by stating it’s tied to the looseness of the pants. You can’t get the look on baggy pants without actually putting the pockets there. If they could they would.

You’re right, it is basic economics. Just not in the way stated. Adding pockets costs money. Women’s clothes are often created incredibly cheaply. It has nothing to do with women not wanting pockets.

That just isn’t true. Answers in Progress on YouTube does a good video on the history of pockets in women’s clothes.

🎶Someone didn’t read the article 🎶
The attacks then exploit various weaknesses in the OS that allow the charger to autonomously inject “input events” that can enter text or click buttons presented in screen prompts as if the user had done so directly into the phone. In all three, the charger eventually gains two conceptual channels to the phone: (1) an input one allowing it to spoof user consent and (2) a file access connection that can steal files.
- Comment on The FTC cracks down on an AI content detector that promised 98% accuracy but was only right 53% of the time. 2 weeks ago:
That doesn’t really follow logically… a 15 year old can find the mistakes a 5 year old makes. The detection system might be something other than an LLM, while the LLM might be gpt2.
But yes humans write messily so trying to detect ai writing when it’s literally trained on humans is a losing battle and at this point completely pointless.

Kinda yes, but in actuality no. Unless we get rid of the nickel as well, the treasury is required by law to replace the pennies removed from circulation with nickels. Nickels cost even more to mint, as a percentage of their value, than pennies, so it’s actually going to cost the taxpayers even more money.
But yes we no longer have to deal with pennies. Turns out we should actually get rid of dimes and quarters too, but that ain’t gonna happen anytime soon.

Lots of times it is a real question, especially if the other person cares about you at all.

I told my wife about this thread and about how you said you pronounced it differently and she jokingly said “sen-CHWAR” in a funny voice. When I read your comment off to her she laughed incredibly hard. Her joke turned out to be spot on lol.

Transcription software has existed for decades and has no need for AI. It doesn’t need to interpret anything you’re saying, shoving AI into it is literally just making things worse.

- Comment on 3's grip looks the most comfy 1 month ago:
anyone voting G2 hasn’t used one recently, or hasn’t used literally any other pens in that time. I think the G2 is the absolute worst one on the list. At least the bic doesn’t pretend to be able to write very well.
- Comment on 3's grip looks the most comfy 1 month ago:
yeah I don’t know how anyone can be voting for #5. it has to be the worst pen on the list. uncomfortable, dries up easily, doesn’t write consistently. #4 is amazing, but they do have one better but it’s not in the picture.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 1 month ago:
I also haven’t read the hundreds of pages, but it was a simple search away (either a search engine or literally just typing ‘tariff’ into the PDF). You said something that wasn’t true and didn’t bother to check if it was accurate before hand, and it was kind of the base “fact” of your entire post.
I do appreciate that you’re willing to come in here and actually discuss your viewpoint, which is why I tried to react quite neutrally. I would appreciate continuing the conversation because I do wonder if that revelation has changed your view that trump has no ties to P25.
- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 1 month ago:
P25 literally does have stuff on tariffs and it’s exactly what is happening right now.
It starts on page 765. …project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.p… Like literally the entire section from page 765-783 are just about tariffs and how high to increase them.
And an article discussing it seekingalpha.com/…/4769053-what-project-2025-tell…

Just keep practicing. You’ll start to see the differences if you try lots out. Others have given good input, but a lot of it just comes from doing it over and over again.
