That’s true, ‘tape’ is certainly more rare than it used to be, I do agree that it’s fading but I still think ‘the kids’ would have likely heard it from a parent (or grandparent at this point) and asked or gotten the jist from context.

I’d guess they know the word even if they don’t think about the etymology. Just like the only phone I ever used with a physical dial belonged to my grandmother but I still knew what dialling a phone was (and didn’t make the connection until decades later when I saw it mentioned as a linguistic artifact like I’m doing now.)


Someone make a ymmeL version instead of tiddeR.


I believe that applies to literally every language other than English.
Even French.


I haven’t watched it yet but given the context I’m going to assume they mean ‘traditional’ machine learning and not specifically the LLMs or diffusion models which are now usually called “AI”. I feel like domain specific ML models are not a problem - they don’t scrape the web or require new power plants to operate.
But yeah LLMs are evil.
And I’ll see if I’m wrong after watching it.
Update:
Yeah, I cringed a bit every time he said AI for a regular machine learning system, but that’s what he meant. And unfortunately given the general public I kinda understand why he used the term. (And he does actually explain it as ML also)


There’s [serious] - it started on Reddit (I think) but doesn’t need to stay there.
I generally like music, some kinds more than other kinds. I’m especially fond of novelty music such as Weird Al.
But I don’t usually go out of my way to listen to music. Not even when driving. (But my wife sometimes does which I enjoy.)
But really it’s just not a big part of my life.
Stayed home. (Except a regular walk around the neighborhood.)


It’s even worse than that and I’m going to ruin the illusion: it’s liquid in a can shaped glass.


So now we are using that silly abbreviation thing for people’s names?
You mean you passed last Christmas?


Human suffering.


I think it’s because the studios/cable/etc tried to charge extra for 3D content compared to 2D. Ensured that demand for 3D was insufficient to make more content available for it.
Rice is great when you’re hungry and want 2000 of something.


True. Unfortunately any images that had been hosted on the instance go poof. RIP lemm.ee


I had a vasectomy. Only paid a copay or something that was like $50. (Don’t remember exactly)
Best purchase ever.
This was in the US with normal work-provided insurance.
I think that’s probably it, thanks!
That’s a good one, I actually had to look it up because I got stuck at thinking of turning a knob to turn on a radio, but those were after light bulbs.
Gaslights had knobs to control the flow before electricity.
