I was going to agree, but I haven’t had Brach’s candy corn in a while, every so often those large companies change the formula to make things cheaper* so it’s hard to be sure.

The youtube algorithm determined the following: people who watch the kind of videos in your history, are also interested in recording netflix shows. And it was right, because you are in fact interested in that (general) topic. This is another possible explanation.

Who’s the drummer? I don’t recognize him. _/jk

So whoever carries that anime figure is literally Luciferian.

Mr Auld-Thomas and his colleagues named the city Valeriana after a nearby lagoon.

…

It is “hidden in plain sight”, the archaeologists say, as it is just 15 minutes hike from a major road near Xpujil where mostly Maya people now live.

This archeologist just discovered a Maya city, and they decided to call it “Valeriana” (in the language of the conquistadors) insted of something like “Xpujil” (in the language of the people who still live there.)

They’re not thinking big enough. They should call it “openai.com” and go for corporate sponsorship!

The IRB rejects your experiment for not being unethical enough.

Gotta make that cheddar.

The response was that they couldn’t stay operating if they paid everyone for being on call instead of us “supporting the company”.

That’s the heart of the matter. They wanted you to support the company, without the company supporting you.

The last time I bought a Mac was like 10 years ago, at an independent computer shop that specialized in them. The person at the register insisted on getting my personal info “because Apple needed it” but I didn’t want to give it. The person at the register very slowly sauntered up to their manager, had a long discussion, and eventually they figured something out because I suddenly didn’t need to give my info. It was kind of nervewracking because I was paying cash and I was like: what if I hand it over, and they change their mind? It’s not like I could call the cops, I’m the wrong demographic.

Anyway, whenever I thought about getting an Apple system, I remembered that experience and went with something else.

You thought you had to restrain yourself, but you… supposed erroneously.

Hmm… there are a lot of references that a current CS student isn’t going to get. More like an oldschool hacker (in the traditional sense of the word) whose mind is going. But I hope you don’t go that route, because “it was all just a dream” is a cliche.

I didn’t; I made the chart almost a year ago, click on the link above it to see the 11-month-old comment.

Lemmy had around 1000 active users for the first half of 2023.

Kind of a clickbait headline but there are some interesting parts in the text… It’s worth keeping these in mind when doing election outreach in the US.

"… I feel like we, as Latinos, are traditionally conservative.”

“traditionally conservative” is a tautology, and this statement is a bit exaggerated, but Latinos do often have strong values associated with family, religion, work, and other things that conservatives try to “own”.

Paschall said that if there is racism, it comes from white liberals who tell her that, as a Latina, she should not support Trump. She describes that view as “so deep-rooted that they don’t even realise they’re being racist”.

I disagree with Paschall’s assertion. However, while white liberals call Republicans “weird”, those same white liberals often come across as weird to people who don’t share their ideas. DISCLAIMER: I think Republicans are weird and agree with white liberals more often than not. I’m just describing some of the attitudes I see here in my battleground state, so we can communicate better during voter outreach. END DISCLAIMER

There are other factors at play. The proportion of Mexicans crossing the border to work without visas has dropped sharply in recent years with much larger numbers of people now coming from Central and South America as refugees. They sometimes face hostility from more established Latino communities, about 60% of which are of Mexican ancestry.

There’s a tendency to think of Latinos as some monolithic people, but this paragraph describes one way that isn’t true. Even if you only consider those with the right to vote, there’s a tremendous difference between say a third-generation Cuban-American, a recent Central American naturalized citizen in Nevada, a second-generation Puerto Rican in Georgia, and a Tejano whose family has lived here for hundreds of years. Each of them have a wide variety of priorities and opinions, it’s not all about immigration. And if they vote for Trump it’s not just that they’re brainwashed or ignorant, a lot of times they’re holding their nose in the same way a lot of people on the left are holding their nose to vote for Kamala. (Not me! I think she’s all right! In fact I just recently signed up to help her campaign, I hope it’s not too late…)

Maybe we should consider replication studies to be “service to the community” when judging career accomplishments. Like, maybe you never chaired a conference but you published several replication studies instead. You could get your Masters students and/or undergrads to do the replications. We’d need journals that focus on replication studies, though.

Excel is the one good piece of software in MS Office.

Last time I used MS Office was 10 months ago, and it had a bunch of annoying “features” related to sharing, etc. But PowerPoint has always had some great authoring tools. Sometimes if I was writing an article in LaTeX, I’d still do the figures in PowerPoint.

LibreOffice is a solid substitute, though.

FWIW I only ever used those services if they accepted a prepaid credit card. OpenAI didn’t accept prepaid cards when I tried, not sure about Poe. Just something to think about.

Those Aztec weapons are awesome. We need more movies taking place in pre-Columbian times.
