Also insisting Ukrainians in occupied territory give up their language and culture or face torture and execution.

As the university presidents were trying to explain to Clown Shoes, sorry, I mean Elise Stefanik: Harassment is conduct that is severe or pervasive enough to create an environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. A one-time generalized statement calling for genocide not targeted at a specific individual would not usually rise to the level of harassment per se, but can certainly be part of a pattern of harassment. Similarly, actual bullying is a pattern of abusive behavior and cannot be defined by any single act as it is often used colloquially.

That’s the game Stefanik is playing: She knows these universities’ policies are bound by the actual, legal definitions of “harassment” and “bullying” but she’s counting on her ignorant audience not knowing those definitions and instead thinking the words are defined as what they use them for in their own lives: someone being mean.

ANNs like this will always just present our own biases and stereotypes back to us unless the data is scrubbed and curated in a way that no one is going to spend the resources to. Things like this are a good demonstration of why they need to be kept far, far away from decision making processes.

Even though Netanyahu is Jewish, he knows using (and in this case abusing) the Christian bible

He’s citing the Hebrew Bible.

It’s always sad how easy it is for the owner class to convince many workers to rally for their own exploitation.

John Amann told NBC News he bought $2,200 worth of Trump Bucks and other items over the past year only to discover they were worthless when he tried to cash them in at his local bank.

Oh man I want video of him trying to cash them in at a real bank so bad.

It’s neat from a research and proof-of-concept perspective but practically speaking I’d like to see the CPU cycles required for the LLM compression compared to PNG or FLAC compression. We’ve always known we can increase compression by throwing more computing power at the problem but we settle on a happy medium at the intersection of “good enough” for compression and performance.

On July 25, 2022 the lawsuit alleges, Lee asked her supervisor for three days off using her floating holidays to attend to her health. Her supervisor allegedly rejected the request saying it “would be a burden to the rest of the team” and that “there is a lot of work to be done.”

What the fuck? It’s 3 days; fix your staffing!

It’s actually only a few things. The vast majority of the goods we purchase are clearly priced. Most states (and some local jurisdictions like big cities) do have sales tax applied to purchases of non-essential goods, but those rates are generally much lower than the national sales taxes in most European countries.

20-mile-per-hour speed limit permitted for riders under 16

So, unmodified, slower than a bicycle where your average cyclist can sprint to over 30 mph without much trouble.

This is just media fear mongering about [new thing]. When I was a kid there were plenty of bicycle wrecks where kids got hurt, sometimes severely, and the media wasn’t pearl-clutching about the “danger” of pedal bikes.

The first sentence of the article:

With so many new, or newly sad, social media apps, how do you know if Threads, Bluesky or Mastodon are for you?

This is literally the last time Masodon is mentioned so I hope you found it enlightening.

It’s a stretch to blame NVIDIA for someone buying their hardware off of a shelf and using it for something shitty. It’d be like blaming Sony if it was found that child abuse rings prefer to use their cameras.
