Slashdot or not, Microsoft sucks. The underlying truth of the "meme" will keep it alive forever.

Yeah you're right.

Peanut oil is rarely the wrong answer. Canola oil is ok if you have plenty already.

Low moisture mozzarella, yep. Great for baking because it melts instead of turning into a puddle under heat.

That's the one.

bloody farking hells. On top of a securitry training here at the fort, we've got this. This is shaping up to be a really shiat week.

Go read the Fark thread from 9/11. Shit's crazy.

oh my farking god another plane!

Midwest US it's more like $10 for a single crappy fake crab roll, $20 for a good roll. But hey, we have, uh, corn.

Most of the crap itself isn't even political. Just dumb crap people from "political" communities.

Your broader point would be stronger if it weren't framed around what seems like a misunderstanding of modern AI. To be clear, you don't need to believe that AI is "just" a "coded algorithm" to believe it's wrong for humans to exploit other humans with it. But to say that modern AI is "just an advanced algorithm" is technically correct in exactly the same way that a blender is "just a deterministic shuffling algorithm." We understand that the blender chops up food by spinning a blade, and we understand that it turns solid food into liquid. The precise way in which it rearranges the matter of the food is both incomprehensible and irrelevant. In the same way, we understand the basic algorithms of model training and evaluation, and we understand the basic domain task that a model performs. The "rules" governing this behavior at a fine level are incomprehensible and irrelevant-- and certainly not dictated by humans. They are an emergent property of a simple algorithm applied to billions-to-trillions of numerical parameters, in which all the interesting behavior is encoded in some incomprehensible way.

in math, if you have a real and you round it, it's always a real not an integer.

No, that's made up. Outside of very specific niche contexts the concept of a number having a single well-defined type isn't relevant in math like it is in programming. The number 1 is almost always considered both an integer and a real number.

If we follow your mind with abs(-1) of an integer it should return a unsigned and that makes no sense.

How does that not make sense? abs is always a nonnegative integer value, why couldn't it be an unsigned int?

What a genuinely unhinged take.
