They only care that the forms are filed. They don’t care if they are filed with correct information.

We lost power for 3 days back in 2006. The water heater still had hot water in it when power was restored. It wasn’t piping hot that last day, but was still good enough for a shower. I was quite impressed.

If you are wondering why your cookies come out different every time you bake, it isn’t due to variance of temperature and humidity – IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE USING WILDLY DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF FLOUR.

And yes you ducking can tell the difference between a batch of cookies where the flour is weighed vs scooped.

You can’t accurately measure flour by volume. The amount you get in a scoop will vary depending on how compressed it is. You weigh flour to remove that variance, which can be far greater than 5%. Don’t believe me? Put a cup of flour in a measuring cup, then start pressing on it to pack it (you won’t have anywhere near a cup anymore). Controlling for flour density (ie: consistently measure by volume) is nearly impossible.

Brown sugar is similar but easier to manage (most recipes tell you to use packed measures instead of scooping).

Things like white sugar, sure – scoop away.

The 22a says he can’t be elected. But that doesn’t make him ineligible to serve. The wording presents a loophole that our highly partisan Supreme Court could drive a truck through.

If this is how he felt the last year, he’s just as culpable as all of the other fucks who stayed home and didn’t vote. Fuck him and his Monday morning quarterbacking.

They’ll just blame illegal immigrants for spreading disease, and the liberal Hollywood elite for letting them come here.

There will still be elections – even Russia still holds elections. They just won’t be free or fair.

He’s just preparing for his eventual conviction and stint in prison.

More like you busted your ass for 75 years then got fucked when you had to sell your house.

Let me tell you something, folks. Scott Walker, he’s like a giant, stinking pile of shit. It’s unbelievable. Nobody’s seen anything like it before. You walk past it, and you know it’s bad right away. Everyone says it. People are talking about it. It’s huge, just sitting there, doing nothing, and it stinks—worse than anyone thought. And guess what? He thinks it’s good! Can you believe it? He’s out there, pretending like everything’s fine, while people can’t even stand to be around him. Total disaster, folks. Total mess. We’re going to clean it up, because that’s what we do. We clean up the mess left by people like Scott Walker, the human pile of shit. Believe me.

This is the correct way to manage a budget.

The budget software I use (“you need a budget”) follows a similar philosophy; based on the way you describe you financial circumstances, paying for that software is probably not in your budget, but I suspect you will find the “rules”/method/philosophy described on their website helpful.

They’re supposed to be good a transformation tasks. Language translation, create x in the style of y, replicate a pattern, etc. LLMs are outstandingly good at language transformer tasks.

Using an llm as a fact generating chatbot is actually a misuse. But they were trained on such a large dataset and have such a large number of parameters (175 billion!?) that they passably perform in that role… which is, at its core, to fill in a call+response pattern in a conversation.

At a fundamental level it will never ever generate factually correct answers 100% of the time. That it generates correct answers > 50% of the time is actually quite a marvel.

More likely it was a rocket that failed / went off course.

You already pay more taxes if you don’t have children… (child tax credits, dependents in household, etc)

This isn’t going to hurt Google’s antitrust cases at all… Noooo sir.

I’m originally from Missouri. There are a fuckton of racists there that will be cheering this on.

She was paranoid schizophrenic.

the fact that he’s saying “I’ve never even heard of these guys” is telling

He says, staring at the camera with a poo-eating grin, winking and transitioning to a speech about how he’s met so many “great” americans who are going to help “take our county back”…

The joke is that, regardless of how the type is declared in json, you are parsing a string. (your json blob is just a series of characters, not raw binary data)

It is irrelevant. However, the next guy can walk in and do the opposite and the victims will have no recourse.
