It appears to be a full length article. I don’t have a subscription or anything, and was able to see it, but archive.ph only pulled the 3 paragraph version.

Man who wrote self help book says his own advice really helped him.

The declining birth rate isn’t going to hurt anyone alive today.

Having a top heavy age demographic means less tax revenue will be split between more required services. There will also be fewer labourers with more labour requirements. The only ones it won’t hurt are the billionaires.

It’s probably a good thing in the long run that human population is stabilising, but it’s going to be problematic until we get to that stable state.

there are plenty of video essays that I’ve watched for content that I never watched in the first place, because the analysis was highly entertaining and is much less time consuming

This makes me think of Angela Collier’s essay segment “that time I read and enjoyed Ayn Rand”, because nobody should ever have to sit through reading Atlas Shrugged.

It seems like people are so eagre to bash AI that they’re willing to invent their own narrative to shit on anyone who remotely sounds like they support it, even if that’s not the case.

I appreciate you actually taking the time and effort to read.

He specifically asked Copilot which percentage to set.

Ah, I see. That’s not at all clear from what the article says:

In the video, the influencer activates Copilot with the “Hey Copilot” voice activation and then asks it how they can increase the font size via Windows Settings.

Perhaps the original video has what you’re talking about.

Aura quickly manually sets the scale to 200%, which solves the problem but isn’t what Copilot actually suggested…

Isn’t that what almost anyone would do?

I’ve seen some pretty silly AI blunders before, but this one seems rather harmless. You’re still going to end up at the setting you need to change to solve the problem, which to me falls squarely in the “close enough” bin.

Them: you can’t just assume X.
You: you can’t assume ¬X.

They didn’t assert ¬X. You’re arguing with a strawman.

I’ll just send a picture:

This was before I added the netting. I use tomato clips to hold up the plants:

Then the netting just goes all the way around the outside hanging down from the top, and secured at the bottom with ground clips.

The netting isn’t big enough for squirrels to get through. It’s draped down from the trellising, and pinned down to the ground. There’s no way for the squirrels to get in unless they climb up and over, and they don’t seem to be able to figure that out.

Not sure what to do about the horn worms though.

I have a raised bed and just hang a loose net around the whole thing so the squirrels can’t get in. Otherwise those little buggers will take one bite out of each tomato and leave the rest for me to clean up.

You can get Teto plushies on amazon?! Naruhodo…

I just position mine so the end is how I want it, and sometimes that means the first bite is mostly bread.

Oh, lmao, I didn’t even realise it was a 1 time thing, but now that I re-read, it does say “dividend”. It’s basically a small bribe to placate him fleecing his angered masses.

Our premier did that as well, and it was quite effective at keeping him in office, IMO.

Trump suggesting any sort of UBI was not on my bingo card for this year. You just know there’s going to be some sort of catch.

I definitely get where you’re coming from. NieA_7 was my first thought, which is another yoshitoshi ABe work. There is something cozy about his work, even though it can be intensely emotional at times.

do you chew on them, or what?

Maybe… Is it that weird?

I always chewed on pens in school too. Hmm.

He added that, while waiting in the minivan for his citation, he caught a glimpse of the agents in the vehicle with him receiving text messages from a group chat called “Chiraq Team 2.”

This was the only bit of the article actually related to the headline, which feels a bit clickbaity.

That aside, it was a good window in to just how far things have gone in the US. Scary stuff.

I don’t normally get affected by celebrity deaths, but this is awful. Danya was one of the most kindhearted people in the chess community. As a commentator he made the game fun, accessible, and very entertaining. He was one of the very few people who both commentated regularly and still played at the highest level. He was a driven competitor, and was always a serious contender to win any speed chess event he was in.

What a huge blow to the chess community. :(
