It being at its lowest price in a decade is literally true. I don’t have a clue why you’re bringing the pandemic into this since this stock reached its peak in 2018. Ubisoft stock has been on a precipitous decline for 4 straight years now, wtf are you even trying to convey here?
- Comment on Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening 1 day ago:
Sure, a 20% drop on the same day is significant
Yes, and that’s literally all this post is trying to convey. This post is not a news report or a economist’s dissertation, this is a screenshot of the pre-bell stock price posted to Lemmy
- Comment on Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening 1 day ago:
You can see right there at the top of the graph it’s down 20% in the given timeframe. There’s nothing misleading at all about zooming in on the data in this chart

Geopolitics is “The study of the relationship among politics and geography, demography, and economics, especially with respect to the foreign policy of a nation,” and in that vein is also a science.
- Comment on i need it, soz 2 days ago:
Geography is definitely science.
From Wikipedia:
Geography is the study of the lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena of Earth. Geography is an all-encompassing discipline that seeks an understanding of Earth and its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but also how they have changed and come to be.

You might have heard of a branch of science called geography

Yes, you might have read my comment above clearly noting exceptions. The bulk of weapons going to Israel are purchased by Israel. Whenever you hear something like “the Biden Admin is sending a $50 billion arms package to Israel,” that’s Israel buying weapons, because Congress has to approve gifts/aid.
- Comment on 💸💸💸 3 days ago:
Another thing to consider is that the US typically sells weapons to Israel (with some exceptions), meaning that’s mostly not our tax dollars.

Gimme somma that black market DBT
In all seriousness, these aren’t rare in the US at all, and most insurances cover them no problem. The healthcare system as a whole is fucked tho

Ok
- Comment on Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help? 1 week ago:
regardless of country
social workers…are trained to be this way
No, they’re not, and laws and licensing standards actually vary widely by country. I’m talking about the US, where we have a national accrediting body for social work graduate schools. Nowhere in there is anything about “insistence,” quite opposite in fact.
OP’s experience that happened twice at the same doctor is in no way indicative of a pattern across the whole profession lol
Lastly, looking at your other comment, I have absolutely no idea what “voluntary reinforcement classes in a shantytown” are or how a social worker would be involved in them, or what they did that relates to this topic

In the US, medical records within a practice or facility are able to be accessed on a “need to know” basis by those working with the patient. If your doc refers you to another specialty, whoever comes to see you will have access to your medical record. Strict disclosure laws apply to releasing info to entities outside the facility
- Comment on Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help? 1 week ago:
At no point should you ever be so concerned about protecting a licensed professional’s feelings that you don’t ask for what you want, in this case to be left alone. If they get their feelings hurt, that’s totally on them, because they’re (supposed to be) the professional in this situation.
- Comment on Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help? 1 week ago:
Any social worker who violates your agency and consent is in breach of their legal obligations and should be reported to their state board. Any social worker who takes things a patient says personally, and responds from emotion based on that, is also a terrible social worker. I’ve been a social worker a long ass time and the people I know and work with do neither of these things.
- Comment on Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help? 1 week ago:
So far off base here lmao
- Comment on Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help? 1 week ago:
I blame this mostly on the doctor. The doctor should’ve asked you if you wanted to speak with someone about your situation, but lots of doctors prefer to just make decisions for people rather than ask.
The rest of the blame lies with the social worker, who sounds like a bad social worker. Active listening is Social Work 101, and it sounds like she didn’t do that.
Maybe your doctor’s office is full of people who are bad at their jobs. I recommend against extrapolating anything about these professions as a whole from your two experiences there.

Uhh…if your doctor refers you to someone else within their own practice, that’s in no way a violation
- Comment on Biden moves to crack down on Shein and Temu, slow shipments into US 1 week ago:
A shipment is eligible for the de minimis exemption if the aggregate fair retail value of the articles imported is $800 or less. De minimis shipments enter the United States with less information than other imports and are not subject to duties and taxes.
The growing volume of de minimis shipments makes it increasingly difficult to target and block illegal or unsafe shipments. Foreign corporate giants who exploit the de minimis exemption do so for a variety of reasons. Some companies exploit the de minimis to conceal shipments of illegal and dangerous products and avoid compliance with U.S. health and safety and consumer protection laws. Other foreign entities use it to circumvent U.S. trade enforcement actions intended to level the playing field for American workers, retailers, and manufacturers.
With today’s announcement, the Administration is using executive authority to stop the abuse of the de minimis exemption.
I have no problem with this. This exemption was designed for individuals and small businesses to avoid import taxes, we clearly shouldn’t let large corporations abuse it.
- Comment on Biden moves to crack down on Shein and Temu, slow shipments into US 1 week ago:
How braindead do you have to be to call Temu a “free market?” They exploit a loophole in the tax code to undercut competitors, and in so doing use way more packaging materials and expend significantly more energy per item in trans-oceanic transportation than typical bulk trade does

No, the output in a word processor is just explicitly user input, whereas the output in a LLM is based on user input and the training data OpenSI scraped.

Using your logic, the one making the copy in a word processor is the person typing, and the one making the copy in a LLM is OpenAI

He was arrested because he faked a ton of information related to his accounts to make it look like many people were going it. I love that he games the system, but also it sounds like he totally committed financial fraud while doing so
