Tips = To Insure Prompt Service It’s a slavery term

Add to that, flying toasters

As a Chicago native who left for college, I can’t count the number of “where you from” “ohhhhh don’t you mean…Chi-raq???” 🤔

I’m like, "no… I mean the place with awesome public transportation, where I walked to school and back daily because it was easy to not get lost when your ‘blocks’ are actually block shaped, and where I wasn’t afraid to walk around at night because even in poor neighborhoods there’s so many lights it can feel brighter than the day. You know? The place where I’ve literally never heard a gun go off outside of New years eve?

I’m sure they’ve gone off, but I ain’t personally heard any. No I didn’t grow up in fucking chi-raq. I’m from Chicago."

“BUT are you ACTUALLY from chicago?!?”

“Yes? If you mailed me a letter, that’s the city you’d write on the envelope”

Wow, they got your generation good. I’m over here listening to flac files and mp3s I ripped in 2003.

Found the nutjob

This, you don’t have to even run a program. Every phone uses the host file all day all the time anyway, you’re just telling it to load nothing instead of usual behavior of “no it’s not hosted here, go get it online” you’re just saying “no, don’t go get it, it’s hosted here” except it’s not, so it isn’t retrieved at all.

It would give you access to the host file Before anything connects to the internet, it checks the host file to see if the address is already located there. (Why download it again if it’s already stored locally?) So one can use the host file to list all the ad networks you done like and POOF all those ads are gone (unless you’re actually hosting them from your phone, but you’re not so it will return null)

The problem is, the host file is a system file you can’t access without root access. Try it on your home pc 🖥 https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm

Make mine two big round scoops

Right, I’m on a third lemmy app, just saying my 2cents. What’s the problem exactly ?

The reason I’m on lemmy is I WANT to use weird apps and see different things programmers do. It’s like the post is telling me just get taco bell when there’s a dude selling Mexican grandma style enchiladas out of a food truck and I can go over that corner restaurant and get some fire chimmi-chanagas.

I like weird stuff. So what about it? God damned people pushing some vanilla boring shit.

Oh also, regarding compartmentalized language models in the brain, profanity and swearing is stored in muscle memory, not the front lobe. That’s why if u lose the power of speech due to stroke, you’d still be able to shout profanity of some kind.

I’m interested in this primarily as an English teacher. I need to be able to spot the linguistic tics and errors and recognize where it likely came from.

Right now, the best we have is like the opening scenes from Bladerunner.

Holden: One-one-eight-seven at Unterwasser. Leon: That’s the hotel. Holden: What? Leon: Where I live. Holden: Nice place? Leon: Yeah, sure I guess-- that part of the test? Holden: No, just warming you up, that’s all. Leon: Oh. It’s not fancy or anything. Holden: You’re in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of the sudden- Leon: Is this the test now? Holden: Yes. You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down- Leon: What one? Holden: What? Leon: What desert? Holden: It doesn’t make any difference what desert, it’s completely hypothetical. Leon: But how come I’d be there? Holden: Maybe you’re fed up, maybe you want to be by yourself, who knows? You look down and you see a tortoise, Leon, it’s crawling towards you- Leon: Tortoise, what’s that? Holden: Know what a turtle is? Leon: Of course. Holden: Same thing. Leon: I’ve never seen a turtle – But I understand what you mean. Holden: You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back Leon. Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden, or do they write them down for you? Holden: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can’t, not without your help, but you’re not helping. Leon: What do you mean I’m not helping? Holden: I mean, you’re not helping. Why is that Leon? – They’re just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they’re written down for me. It’s a test, designed to provoke an emotional response. – Shall we continue?

Except I can’t ask the paper on Maya Angelou any questions. Short of interrogating each student when they turn something in, it’s been a real struggle in the last few months to spot work that was not actually done by my students but was instead written by chat gpt.

How to proceed now that they all interact with TikTok’s chatbot, where not just the tech savvy kids will try this, idk.

But my first super fake was a well written paper about the personal growth of a girl named Fredericka who described feeling triumphant having just got her masters degree and overcoming adversity since she grew up as a young black boy in the south. “Hmmmm,” I thought. “Something tells me You didn’t write this.”

It’s like a blank space needs filled

The static point would be the sentence “Theres a ____ in the house” And from there it’s like a coin sorting machine filter filter filter okay noun filter filter filter cat the user doesn’t want a cat filter filter filter dog

Where the filtering = other similar static points or it’s looking for other sentences arranged like that with those words in that context.

That’s how it mistakes cat for dog It’s not thinking “I know what a cat is, dogs are like that” It’s just looking for word usage frequency in that specific or similar contexts and replacing it with a frequently used word. That’s how you end up getting a wrong answer “what’s more like a cat? Dog or kitten? Reply:Dog.”

Or if it screws up some math it’s to do with it not actually doing any math, instead it’s looking for answer frequency and enough people wrote 2+2=5

Maybe thinking about it in terms of a simple video game that’s complex enough to have floating point math involved. The significand would be like the skeletons of the sentences with article words (the, a, an) and the sentence structure as a base.

There’s a good pac man analogy in there some where…

I think Olympics some time

Leaving, on a jet plane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again!

Idk when else in history one can say “kids watching videos on endless scroll on their mobile phone while they listen to music and their parents will yell if you take away their $1,000 pacifier”

A+ on the rehydrate w booze. Try wine, it’s like watching a dead vampire get rejuvenated in a pool of… wine

I’m sorry. I can’t look at this woman and not think “ABUSER” https://theblast.com/30143/johnny-depp-amber-heard-audio-released-domestic-violence-hitting-punching-victim-recording/
