I was about to ask the same. Surprising to whom? The nafo bots?

Moderately funded jajajaja

Those people are mostly just butthurt they aren't the beneficiaries of such "cronyism" and think themselves smarter than everyone else, just less well connected. It's the reason all the ancaps in that hbo documentary with an alias go by John Galt.

UNRWA is Hamas is a credible but unverifiable accusation? What's next? Bibi is Hamas?

This is just a gamer (who btw farms montages in low rated btb games) ranting about Trueskill2 based on an out of context paragraph that in context with the rest of the model of skill they are trying to approximate, your teammates' skill doesn't really affect your change to win/predicted stats in a given match.

If you want, they have talked about the actual algorithm that then attempts to match players based on their rating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FoG4Jtpebs

It biases towards matches it thinks will be a fair fight between both teams with bounds on the max skill diff between the best and worst players between both teams. And they adjust these bounds with player population throughout the day so you can get into matches quickly. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/truematch/

I know someone whose kid became really irritable and started having aggressive episodes after a head injury. Insurance doesn't think an MRI is medically relevant.

It makes me so mad when anglos try to gaslight the success of obamacare and how many millions of additional people are "covered" by it.

I was talking with a friend the other day how the SAT/ACT is just a stat check on your parents's income. Kids who were just grinding flashcards for hours to just barely pass a class were getting 1500s.

He has an abcs of authoritarianism children's book he coauthored too. Had to do a double take when I saw that one at the library.

We've come 4/5 of the circle jajajajajaja

Chinese interference is when you have unaddressed domestic issues you'd rather ignore and the more you have the more interference they are doing.

Unilateral sanctions hit different when someone is enforcing them on you.

The contradictions are sharpening but I think AI and generative AI in particular is this decade's vaporware. The vaporware of the previous decade was self driving cars.

As it stands, generative AIs are just expensive parakeets. Getting them to do anything other than spit up probabilistically correct information and sentences would require them to have comprehension, not just associations between strings of words. The path to comprehension, much like autonomous driving, is long, expensive, and unclear.

Both nascent technologies offer the ability to squeeze, displace, and replace labor and so they naturally attract investment from excited but stupid investors.

These investors are so dumb they gave Adam Neumann, disgraced former WeWork CEO, money for another real estate startup.

The prospective bourgeois buyers of AI are not any smarter. I've seen high level execs complain the chatgpt they bought doesn't know when some internal deadline for quarterly planning budget is due. How the fuck would it know? The damn thing read all of Wikipedia and a half dozen SharePoint pages, of course it doesn't know.

The number of people who saw squid game and then thought it would be a good idea irl for content is too high.

Your children yearn for the mines. Mine yearn for "uncoerced" contractual work obligations in the mines. We are not the same.

Afaik the SEC has eyed every exchange and the same Binance has basically

I will be citing Beavis and Butthead v The Commonwealth of Deez Nutz as I was told by the AI it applies.

Roblox is a game that ships with a game development kit and the way it's monetized beyond monthly membership is allowing people to use the built in kit to build minigames and cosmetics and charge for said items in an ingame currency that Roblox gets a cut off.

I don't understand enough to understand the first part of the changes but the second part seem positive...? You can't let people sample stuff that isn't actually for sale and try to get sales via kids swiping their parents' credit card for stuff that looked cool on their character but you're not selling.. I think.

Just guessing but I think the first part of the change is to psychologically prime people to buy stuff they try on? Like putting a self checkout in the dressing room of a department store.

Can't wait for the second round of papal nazi ratlines 🤡

BYD cars are unsafe unlike glorious Tesla autopilot jajajaja

Our society is entirely different today, and the continued use of the legal term "landlord" is slander against our members and all rental owners. Tenants have important civil protections against unfair practices, monopoly pricing, poor maintenance, etc.

*Laughs in rat infested rental home with a property management company in another state and 72h speedy eviction laws.*
