so... all those people who argued that trump getting indicted because is no big deal because an indictment is not a conviction, and it's all poltical... they feel the same way about this, right?

people really hate being warned about the consequences of their actions.

"you can do whatever you want, and we'll tell you it’ll be ok" will never not win votes.

password rotation is generally not considered a "best practice" but not doing something because it's not a best practice is only a good strategy if you're actually going to follow the best practices. password rotation is less effective than a good password manager and long randomly generated passwords that are unique to each site. requiring passwords be rotated can be an impediment to using strong unique passwords, which is why it's not a good practice.

but a freshly rotated "MyNewPassword15" is a million times better than your password being "password", or being the same thing you use on every sketchy website whose database has been breached a dozen times.

it seemed like a really weird decision for OpenAI to have an AI classifier in the first place. their whole business is to generate output that's good enough that it can't be distinguished from what a human might produce, and then they went and made a tool to try and point out where they failed.

I dunno, if I’m making chocolate pudding at 4am I’d probably feel pretty in control of my life.

I’m usually asleep at 4am because that’s what society and my job and whatnot says I should do

Does the G20 ever deliver results?

It’s good for leaders to get together and talk to each other. But expecting something concrete to come out of this seems silly. That’s not the point. The “declaration” will just be the usual “we agree to work together for the betterment of humanity” or some vague bullshit.

Raising… pay?

No. There’s no way those two words can go together in that order. Get out of here with your crazy talk.

the problem seems to be when people take "apartment life isn't for me" and then go to the conclusion of "they shouldn't build apartments for anybody"

you don't have to live in one. just let people build them. only allowing single family homes doesn't make single family homes more accessible for anybody, it just makes land more scarce and housing less affordable all around.
