Is there still a radio 1 “essential mix”? I can still hear the intro and outro from 2008-2013, some real bangers came through that program.

Spotify discover weekly has introduced me to some bangers, and their app has some really great features with a pretty deep library.

I know they suck in some ways, but overall I am pretty happy with their service.

definitely some layers to this advice for sure, situation and relationship matters!

The three least heard words in the universe will serve you well, and often catch people off guard - don’t be afraid to use them.

“I was wrong.”

Admit your mistakes when they happen, then when something goes wrong no one will accuse you.

as long as the investment mortgages aren’t sub prime 🙃

Isn’t this what jeff Bezos is doing with fractional real estate investment, except evil?

Not pooping on the idea, I would totally toss money towards a fractional mortgage to help someone else get a home, just noting how the upside down universe version of this idea is already out there.

this hits it for me, thank you, I came to the understanding above that I had been painted this exact picture when I was younger, but learned better in college.

I think I was a bit blind to the fact that some people still paint the absurd picture of feminists shown above, I forget how far we still have to go as a species sometimes.

totally agree and this experience does make sense to me, people paint feminists very broadly and stupidly - personal anecdote I remember being blown away in college that being a feminist could simply mean supporting the right for women to vote, have equal pay, ect.

I had heard terms like “feminazi” growing up, so the picture in my mind was more similar to the comic than I think I initially realized when reading it.

Ok this makes sense and is the direction I was heading in at the end there (glad I wasn’t just blindly groping), thank you!!

Yeah I don’t understand that either, but thank you for the explanation!

Ok so further simplifying, Straw man fallacy is per wikipedia, the refuting of an argument by refuting a different argument that is not part of the original context, and failing to recognize the distinction.

So here, people refute feminists by using the stawman of them wanting to blow up the earth / being extremists? I feel like something has to come back to training bras, like societal expectations of underwear for women is the argument, but then the straw man is radical feminism?

Goddamn I really am not getting the humor in this one. I’m not trying to be obtuse or overly PC, I really enjoy comics and just want to understand the humor because it seems really abstract to me.

Right? we need the follow up strip where the dude is now addicted to opioids and is pan handling for “gas money” lol.

which part is the joke? I’m honestly missing the humor in this one, like I get it might be funny because the feminists want her to blow up the world maybe?

Petaaaaaahhh explain the joke?

Edit: is the joke the training portion? Like they are training her?

honestly this seems pretty genius, I always wondered how much compute was wasted to make the AI sound smart/flowery/friendly/whatever-eey when all I wanted was raw information.

idk maybe you’re right, we’ll see if we both live long enough to find out…

well now I have something to do this weekend if the weather is poor, thank you!

ah ok, I have some experience hosting Ollama and of course stable diffusion, but haven’t really messed with too many others, thanks for the insight!

Yeah in my experience the better your input (original writing) and prompt, the better it does, although I think it really depends on what you’re looking for.

I can be a bit… Verbose…? So when there is a character or text limit I will use an LLM to shorten or condense my thoughts, which has turned out fairly well, but I bet the quality degrades quickly as the inputs degrade in quality.

For context and to your knowledge of the field, is Qwen 3.5 supposed to be cutting edge?

The Expanse sheds one I believe to be a plausible picture of our future, although it seems optimistic on some fronts.
