You don’t accept it, because that’s bullshit. You also don’t accept that it’s somehow your fault that society (and your employer) is okay with that kind of injustice.

I think there are two sane choices, you named one that’s really a good idea cause you do not have to take that shit.

The other one would be sharing this situation with other nurses, forming a union or joining one, and going on strike. Letting the hospital see how well it functions when only those lazy doctors doing 1% of the necessary work and getting 2 thirds of the cake show up.

I think he said fuck

A year ago I would have said climate change for sure, but now WWIII is making a comeback so it’s up for debate.

The brain truly is a fucked up machine that wants itself to feel as terrible as possible. The way it does this is by giving large short term rewards to stuff that make you feel worse and worse long term.

Working out and living healthily is not about seducing people, it’s about making yourself feel better by engaging in stuff that yields long term rewards, even though they feel like fruitless efforts in the moment to moment gameplay of dopamine.

Having gone there and back my experience is that giving up feels really good, but in a much more real sense it feels terrible. And just reading your post I can see you feel terrible.

The good news is when you’re that low, any sustained effort can make you feel a bit better. Seeking professional help is one that’s a bit hard to start but a bit easier to ritualize into a habit.

It means your whining about some gay guys acting inappropriately towards you

1. doesn’t somehow justify saying absolutely vile homophobic shit like “normal straight people get the willies when gay guys hit on them”,

2. does not somehow justify homophobia in general nor its conservative apologists and therefore

3. is incredibly tone deaf in this precise context.

The sphynx comes with health concerns as well. And discrimination from other cats which is less the breeder’s fault but can’t be fun.

I was not. My point was just that this post has a sort of linguistic playing going on that that first tldr didn’t follow, but you didn’t also so… I don’t know why I try. I just found it fun.

What is this discussion? Did y’all not grasp what was going on with that first Bing talk? I was just trying to stop you guys and gals using that symbol willy nilly; nobody’s actually apologizing for Bing

How about “most famous and trustworthy virtual information vault”? Or is that too much?

Did you just ruin it to tldr an info that’s just a Bing away?

Oulipo is chock full of amazing linguistic training propositions isn’t it?

May I submit a formulation akin to “I got what you did thusly”?

How surprising! I thought that symbol most popular in “La disparition”'s original localism, but this wiki says this translation’s vocabulary has a similar proportion and thus - probably - a similar difficulty.

That’s absolutely true, generative AI is mostly a parlor trick with very few applications beyond placeholder art and faster replies to emails. But even for your kind of engineering problem, there’s still a big issue that’s often disregarded.

If we keep your example of an AI for a city grid, an important aspect of this type of engineering problem is guaranteeing that the system has as few catastrophic failures as possible (usually guaranteeing less than 1 for every 10⁹ hours of uptime for systems where catastrophic means a certain quantity of dead bodies or high monetary costs, like a city grid, train signalization, flight control…). AI models may very well end up being discarded in those problems because even if you observe a better accuracy in simulations and experiments, mathematically proving this 10⁹ figure is impossible because we don’t know how they work. Proving a threshold experimentally can happen, but a 10⁹ number would require something like centuries of concurrent testing in every city in the world… I’ve just had a class with this example for trains. They were testing a system that reads signalization with a camera in order to move towards a more autonomous train. Deep learning performed better that classical image processing, but image processing allows you to prove that the train won’t misread less than x% of the time with way higher certainty than a black box, so they had to go with that if they ever wanted to pass safety certifications.

So I guess deep learning explainability might be a more significant challenge even that finding a dataset that isn’t racially biased…

Ampersands. I thought it was just me but apparently not

Edit: works fine incomments, but I keep seeing them replaced with “&” in titles.

Being ashamed of our nakedness and wearing clothes to hide it is a punishment from God for eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. I guess clothes are part of the religious liturgy of all abrahamic religions…
