Trick is to go southern with it. Merge the last two vowel sounds into almost-one. Dub-ee-eh

Sitting is boring, emails are boring, not owning capital is boring. Religion is not, plants are not, sunlight is not. Building things is cool when they're yours or your friends'. Kids are fun.
I feel like some guys tend to be wired to really enjoy the grind, but you have to get regular little indications towards progress, and kinda let yourself get 'addicted'.

Yep, lost 3 months of work yesterday because OneDrive erased it.

Only two types of people will still be a teacher with current pay expectations:
- those with a genuine passion for education, and get joy out of helping kids
- those with some other ulterior motive for having authority over children.
The amount of absurd power-tripping I suffered under in school makes me think there's way too much of the second group. We're definitely getting what we pay for here.

Dead smile of someone who had too many pictures taken of them as a child. I like to think I preserved my authenticity by being a little monster during pictures as a child.

Dopamine used to be considered the generic pleasure chemical, but I think it's not anymore. Has more to do with reward pathways and learning, maybe?

Well that's a fairly consistent pov. "God of the Gaps" is what it's called. Ostensibly, that sort of person accepts new evidence for things, so it's probably not one of the worst ways to think

I wonder how well that percentage matches up with the percent of Americans who believe those sites, too. Would an LLM trained on the raw internet have a fairly proportional spectrum of beliefs to the American public?

It's just weird that we get so much humanlike reasoning from them, anyways. The jury's still out whether our brains learn in an autoregressive manner like that, too. I'm finding a lot of really cool results in my research by tinkering with the idea that a developing brain might just be constantly trying to guess what's happening next.
Seems pretty plausible to me that passive learning in humans works similar to next-token prediction in transformers.

These are just people skills. Of course you're gonna have to make people like you if you want to work with people. Half the brain is dedicated to networking with other brains.
And it's not actually that hard to agreeably disagree with someone. You say your thing, and then you do your little song and dance to make sure they know you respect them, and you go on your way.
A little bit of humility goes a long way. Hard scientists aren't above a little compassion, a little bit of care for explaining themselves to the public and to money movers.

I just wonder how much budget my state has for something like that if they can't even keep the assessors office open.

Lol yeah I have only a few weeks to gamble so sounds like I'll be fine
Last week I bought a used car. I got a title. I moved to Missouri in January, and I'll be moving back out of Missouri in a month. I have insurance on it. I've been looking at the papers I still need online, and at reviews of the different office I need to go to. Apparently, I need info from the assessors office to show that I'm exempt from property tax on the vehicle or to pay it. It's gonna be an hours drive to get to the office. They dont have accurate info online on hours open, they don't answer the phone, and the voicemail says that they hope to open again on April 4th. It's April 15th. I figure it's gonna be another drive to get to DMV offices, and reviews on both offices show that there's 2 hours waits, and extremely unpredictable closing times. So I'm looking at having to take at least a day off of work, maybe more. I make like $300 on a good day. The max fines for late registration look like $200, and for the traffic violation it's $50.50, if I understand right from my Google search. If I were able to even get a hold of somebody at either office during business hours, I'd go ahead and register. Honestly though, I'm struggling to justify the opportunity cost. I could get caught and fined twice in a traffic stop before it would be worth doing it. Am I missing something? Is it financially worth registering my car? What if I just register when I move, in the new state?

It sorta depends on what you hope to achieve. It wouldn't be profitable to rely on the licensing in hopes of getting money from news companies or publishers, since you're unlikely to have unique, viral info.
As far as training material for ai, it's really not worth it. Legal precedent isn't established enough. They scrape fully copyrighted books and news sites, and we don't even know if those lawsuits are going anywhere. Other legal precedent for scraping for use in any data analysis or academic use, or even for commercial data analysis, pretty much allows us to scrape anything that's public-facing.

You're right, but only to the extent that the capital coming from your users is disproportionate. Some spaces have money coming from mostly those plebeian users.

I don't really see how it isn't antitrust stuff. Apple has used their market power to restrict competition at every possible opportunity.
