This is a commonly repeated myth but it isn’t true. Nobody gets a tax write off in point-of-sale fundraising. Charities ask stores to do it because it’s one of the most efficient and effective ways for a charity to raise money. Chairty events are costly, and asking people on the street gets a lot of rejection. Stores agree to do it because they get to run ads saying they helped raise millions for charity and the charity will usually shout them out as well.

From the wiki page on the American Bar Association, they seem to mostly be involved in setting academic and ethical standards and don’t actually grant or revoke licences.

Young boy search histories are great. I remember when my little brother borrowed my laptop once and when I got it back there was searches on Youtube for “boobs”, “big boobs”, and “big boobs jumping”. Guess he’s a boob guy.

To be fair it’s not like he said he was going to be a dictator on day one…wait.

My understanding is that “China” is special because they’re a founding member of the UN and have special powers due to that. After the civil war, neither Taiwan or China wanted to lose that power, so neither side wanted to be recognized as anything other than “China”. I’ve heard that the younger generation in Taiwan are more open to being recognized as Taiwan but China has kind of made that impossible now by threatening any country that doesn’t respect the “one China” policy.

My brother had a kid and I always feel like some out of touch old man when we talk about it. Once he told me todlers can only have distilled water and I had to stop myself from going “Back in my day, my parents gave me tap water and I turned out fine!”

So many people want a Pam but I’m more of a Jan and Angela person.

No way I could be a cop. If I was standing in line with those guys and saw my coworker shoot a girl close range I’d punch him in the face. This is what people mean when they say ACAB. There’s no way a decent person can see a woman get shot like that and not want to help.

Lol I had no idea they gave money to “Clickolding”, a meme game about a guy who wants to watch you click a button.

I don’t think there’s any moment that truly blows your mind. It’s a very slow burn. I found every run I learned something new that made me want to revisit old rooms and search out new ones. It definitely helps to take notes which is also fun in its own way.

Sometimes solving a puzzle just gives you some lore but that was also neat too. There’s one note I found that stuck with me regarding following traditions. It doesn’t have anything to do with the game but it was great writing!

why don’t they program them

AI models aren’t programmed traditionally. They’re generated by machine learning. Essentially the model is given test prompts and then given a rating on its answer. The model’s calculations will be adjusted so that its answer to the test prompt will be closer to the expected answer. You repeat this a few billion times with a few billion prompts and you will have generated a model that scores very high on all test prompts.

Then someone asks it how many R’s are in strawberry and it gets the wrong answer. The only way to fix this is to add that as a test prompt and redo the machine learning process which takes an enormous amount of time and computational power each time it’s done, only for people to once again quickly find some kind of prompt it doesn’t answer well.

There are already AI models that play chess incredibly well. Using machine learning to solve a complexe problem isn’t the issue. It’s trying to get one model to be good at absolutely everything.

It’s the title of the post: Enantiomer an identical chemical structure but mirrored. Think of how your hands are left and right. They’re identical in their structure, but are mirrored. Molecules can have the same thing and were denoted by L and D (but now use + and -)

I work at a factory in Canada. We just got a huge contract from European customers and we’ve been told we’re running more machines on 24/7 shifts to meet demand and hiring 50 new staff to do it. The clients switched from producing in the US to avoid costs associated with the trade war.
