Is that more of a ‘big expensive city’ thing or is $65k generally considered low in the US? I’m not from there so I am trying to put that into perspective

Asking someone their country of residence is privacy intruding? Lol

I am from Germany

If you were really from Germany, you’d never have given that much personal information up voluntarily!

Walter Masterson makes similar content sometimes which I’ve been enjoying instead. His channel is a lot more opinionated overall though, and he makes better use of the political platform imo.

This isn’t about responsibility, it’s about preventing suffering. If you could prevent a genocidal leader from being born, which you knew would save hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, why wouldn’t you? Because it’s that person’s “responsibility” that all of those innocent people died after all?

Why couldn’t they just serve the comments to each client with the ad-adjusted timestamps already? The only thing the client has to request then is the comment page it wants to load, and some unique ID for which the backend remembers which ad version it’s associated with.

Ok, I like this description a lot actually, it’s a very quick and effective way to explain the effects of no backtracking. A lot of the answers here are either too reductive or too technical to actually make this behavior understandable to a layman. “It just predicts the next word” is easy to forget when the thing makes it so easy to be anthropomorphized subconsciously.

It’s great for racing games where you have gradual steering but also quicker response times than with a controller

TIL it’s entitled to ask that software you use is either compliant with the law or clearly lets you know that it isn’t, especially when the developers have no idea what the law is

I’ll throw in Griddle, where you have to find high-scoring words on a grid

This is what REAL analysis looks like, done by REAL undergrads

While I believe that nobody should be able to wield that much wealth in the first place, arguably being a world-famous artist is among the least unethical ways to become rich as long as the artistic work isn’t bought from ghostwriters. It takes $10 in net profit from 100m fans to make a billion, and I could easily imagine a sizable crowd of her followers genuinely wanting to give her money like that (whereas, for example, I never would have willingly agreed to give Nestlé’s leadership money, even when I used to buy their brands still).

I don’t care about her specifically, but from a “owning the fruits of your own labor” perspective, I think it makes sense for the art itself to be a big part of that.

I recently tried to find out whatever happened to it, couldn’t find anything beyond the announcement that it would happen.

Not this particular picture. The ad is for a funeral service in Berlin but the station depicted is Hamburg Messehallen. Though I think there are real pictures of ads like this from within Berlin.

Stadler (sic)

?

I did read the post (well done btw), but I guess I must have missed that. And here I thought I was a comedic genius

Actually the correct answer is clearly 0.2609 if you follow the order of operations correctly:

6/2(1+2)
= 6/23
= 0.26

Yeah, but even that is stretching it for a work email unless there is a concrete reason you’d be concerned, like you know they’re dealing with stuff. Otherwise – at least in my northern German circles – that’s already getting pretty personal

Yeah I mean you can translate it literally, but it means nothing. The English equivalent of what it communicates in German would be more like “I hope this email gets delivered to you.” which is just a weird thing to say.

As a native German speaker I agree that ChatGPT is very English-flavored. I think it’s just because the sheer amount of English training data is so much larger that the patterns it learned from that bleed over into other languages. Traditional machine translations are also often pretty obvious in German, but they are more fundamentally wrong in a way that ChatGPT isn’t.

It’s also somewhat cultural. The output you get from ChatGPT often sounds overly verbose and downright ass-kissing in German, even though I know I wouldn’t get that impression from the same output in English, simply because the way you communicate in professional environments is vastly different. (There is no German equivalent to “I hope this email finds you well”, for example.)

Well that’s also quite reductionist.
