Lmao one of my friends had just gotten a DVD player in his room around when that movie came out. His mom walked in the room when he was watching it, right at that scene, late on a school night. He scrambled to turn off the TV, but that made her think it was porn… Barbie doll/action figure porn.
She just slowly backed out of the room and wouldn’t let him explain
Does it not make tons of noise?
We have an ice machine in the freezer and often it is the loudest thing in the entire house. I also have a mini fridge in the office and the compressor on it runs every few minutes. It would be awful to try to sleep in there
The title for the sequel could be some kind of pun on how the film is faster and/or more furious than what would be reasonable under normal circumstances
When I got LASIK I wasn’t allowed to wear contacts for a few weeks before the surgery. I bought the cheapest pair of glasses from Zenni. I had new glasses for $17 + $10 shipping.
If I had to do it again I would have my IPD measured by a proper optometrist first. I just guessed at it and got ones a little too small, so they had a kind of fisheye effect.
Still, for <$30 it was a great bargain
I did something like that once. I noticed my sister’s wireless keyboard was still paired to her laptop, so every once in a while I’d hit the CAPS LOCK key.
I was suppressing laughter for about an hour until her temper boiled over and I had to come clean, as she was about to smash the laptop to bits!
Haha that reminds me of the time I helped my upstairs neighbors move. They were super annoying, always shouting over each other and leaving trash bags in the hot sun on their balcony, where the stink could waft into my open window.
I was very excited when I saw them packing their furniture, so I offed to help and we managed to finish it all in only one day. They didn’t catch on and just thought I was being nice! They even tried to pay me but I refused - being rid of them was payment enough
It’s the Swiss Army CHAINSAW!
Is it Dominic Turetto’s car from the first Fast and the Furious movie?
I think that’s either for fresh fruit or if it’s near a door it’s for holding your keys
Edit: nevermind. It’s definitely a weird sink
It’s also about making sure you can’t sue them, even if they did something wrong, even if they did it on purpose, even if they knew it was wrong when they did it.
Instead you must agree to “binding arbitration”, so that if you lose they get to learn what strategy works against customers, and if you win they get to learn what strategy doesn’t work against customers (but in any case the details cannot be shared with other customers).
Also, you can never participate in a class action suit, so even if they did do something wrong, on purpose, and you convinced a -judge- arbiter, you just get the $12 judgment, or whatever the value is of your actual damages. The corporation can keep the $12 they stole from each of their millions of other customers, who didn’t also start arbitration.
It is shocking that it is even legal
Also “Does the ToS have a binding arbitration agreement”
I imagine there’s code to do something like currency conversion or maybe rewards points calculation so the displayed amount is not actually the number used for the final total
I set mine up in 2009 and it is shocking to me how this is not the standard
Your sweet aunt René well deck you in the fuckin’ face!
Few things will get an adult to hit a kid as quickly as that kid questioning their religion. This, from people who insist “God is love”
I think I understand how it works.
Remember that LLMs are glorified auto-complete. They just spit out the most likely word that follows the previous words (literally just like how your phone keyboard suggestions work, just with a lot more computation).
They have a limit to how far back they can remember. For ChatGPT 3.5 I believe it’s 24,000 tokens.
So it tries to follow instruction and spits out “poem poem poem” until all the data is just the word “poem”, then it doesn’t have enough memory to remember its instructions.
“Poem poem poem” is useless data so it doesn’t have anything to go off of, so it just outputs words that go together.
LLMs don’t record data in the same way a computer file is stored, but absent other information may “remember” that the most likely word to follow the previous word is something that it has seen before, i.e. its training data. It is somewhat surprising that it is not just junk. It seems to be real text (such as bible verses).
If I am correct then I’m surprised OpenAI didn’t fix if. I would think they could make it so in the event the LLM is running out of memory it would keep the input and simply abort operation, or at least drop the beginning of its output.
Is this post a paradox?

Huh, I can hear this meme
Also, I have never, ever actually received a so-called participation trophy. As far as I know they made it up just to be dicks
I think I read once that was due to outdated standards related to low resolution television sets. If too much text was on screen at once you couldn’t make it out on a standard definition TV. They kept doing it that way for a while after HD became ubiquitous just because that’s how they always did it.
I share your frustration though
