By this logic, a lawnmower "thinks" my fingers are grass.

A local friend has the casein allergy. It sucks, cause there's a lot of baked goods and food in general she can't have. I struggle sometimes in baking becaus even butter contains it, and plant butters never quite perfectly match with real butter.

At least plant-based heavy cream works well enough. Lacks the dairy taste but it still works and whips nicely even in a cream whipper.

So when I make strawberry cake or strawberry cheesecake I take like a pound of strawberries and cook it down into a thick paste that then is folded into the batter.

I can't tell if OP made cubes out of that paste, which is already bitingly sour from the natural acids in strawberries being so concentrated, or just made jello with strawberry mush and lime juice.

I find myself having to use my Switch pro controller when playing Wii U games on PC, because if I use my Xbox controller I get fucked up on button locations. But somehow holding the slightly different controller shape and button size makes my muscle memory switch for it cleanly.

I liked the series until the point OP is at. The third book was okay but I just could not like Raul Endymion no matter what.

The ending fourth of Rise felt like Disney wrote it. "Oh but you see it's bittersweet and--" okay but

plot spoilageAnea fucking died and now she's back in Disney "everything's okay!" fashion for like 2 years or whatever, yeah she'll be gone but the book doesn't bother making even an ounce of progress towards that happening. "And Earth is back, and no one is allowed to visit it while it's just you and I and then and then and then". It's like a fucking 8 year old wrote the ending.

But that still requires intent, because "knowing" in the way that you or I "know" things is fundamentally different from it only having a pattern matching vector that includes truthful arrangements of words. It doesn't know "sky is blue". It simply contains indices that frequently arrange the words "sky is blue".

Research papers that overlook this are still personifying a series of mathematical matrices as if it actually knows any concepts.

That's what the person you're replying to means. These machines don't know goddamn anything.

"Without user consent" is a load of crap.

Honestly the scale makes me wonder how much is because it's fucking AI bots.

Try going to an Aldi checkout line.

I'm far happier waiting in line with how absurdly fast they train and empower their cashiers to be then I ever have been at Kroger or Walmart. By now all the cashiers recognize me too because they're paid well enough to reduce churn like that, and I don't even get ID checked for alcohol most of the time.

It's a breath of fresh air after being forced to wait in line for self checkout at any store where everyone is slow. Even myself, and even you, because the machines don't let you go fast because they don't trust you or I. It just feels faster because you're doing something the whole time.

I thought that'd been done already, but if I recall, the vast majority of their funding has come from members for a long time? I'm more concerned about the impact on foreign aid than on them.

Generally, finding the article on the exact same thing at NPR.

More specifically I'd say is go over events and be consistent in recalling then repeatedly. Dreams at least are too shuffled for that unless you're like, super lucid, and even then it seems to only maintain for so long.

I thought the intent was obvious I guess; the comic artist seems to be saying "being a pretentious dick puts people off you, be kind instead."

Which like...yeah agreed 1000%.
