Don't push this off, OP. Check this first. Immediately.

Oh yeah. That super high bar that Hungary and Romania cleared easily...

The funny thing is, if reddit's app wasn't such a raging piece of garbage, I might have considered staying. But because it's such a putrid waste of space I literally just cannot use the site any more.

When RIF goes, so does reddit for me. I primarily use the site on my phone, so a good app is vital. And if none exists, then, well... What to do?

Then again, if it wasn't this, then I am sure they have removed old.reddit instead. And for the few times I am on my PC to look at reddit, I would not have been able to stomach it.

TLDR; the reddit app is genuinely an affront to all things sacred in the world.

It's a bit hard to subscribe to different instances if you're on a separate server etc. I hope it gets easier. Once you're subscribed though, it feels like reddit pretty much. Just hope the saints that post content start using Lemmy.

I mean to be fair, I imagine when communities were in blackout things were looking dire. I haven't been to reddit since, but I imagine things are pretty much back to normal? So it's clear he can sort of spit on the reddit userbase how much he wants. People will still come back.

Depends on the university policy. To me, I don't see any difference between certain AI use and plagiarism. And plagiarism ought to result in expulsion.

As an instructor, however, it is increasingly difficult being 100% certain someone is using an LLM. While the easy spot is usually shorter paragraphs and a final hedging paragraph (the one paragraph that OpenAI included so they won't be liable if shit goes south), there is still no way to be sure.

So instead, I just have to begrudgingly nod along as my engineering students dump awful, boring AI texts on me.

Really makes you wonder what sort of operation they've been running at Williams.

Working in project management and even organizational communication, these feel like relatively simple issues to fix. Sure there is cost involved, but compared to producing a car, I feel like the costs would be relatively small.

It just seems like Williams neglected knowledge management. They wouldn't be the first company consisting of primarily engineers to completely ignore anything related to social science.

This season is a bit of a snoozer no doubt. Even 2020 was more fun because the rest of the field was so crazy tight that anyone could get a podium if one of the top 3 had a DNF.

This year the hierarchy is very obvious, so less chance for anything crazy or unexpected happening.

Dragon Age: Inquisition just didn't hit the spot for me. The combat somehow managed to get worse than DA2. At least the DA2 combat was visceral.

Yes. Calling it a garbage heap is giving it too much credit. It's unusable.

They are, but change is scary. And many will likely lose their jobs - especially those who refuse to learn how to use it.

It's not all sunshine and rainbows for creatives currently, but it isn't all dystopia either. A regular schmuck could never produce the same work as a professional, even with AI.

Sure, you can pump out a bunch of stuff, and some of it might look really good, but in the end, if you want precision, you're going to want an artist.

Peacemaker is easily my favorite superhero at this point. Totally revitalized the character.

I think your logic is slightly flawed. If your driver is aiming to be second best, then they're already spent. You can't have Perez out there looking to be just slightly worse than Max. You want him to think he can win, always hovering in the vicinity, but never offering a real threat (just like Bottas).

I think the reason why Gasly and Albon failed so spectacularly is because they were both told, "don't even try and beat Max, just get close" and they were too inexperienced and insecure to say "fuck that".

If Checo now believes he can't beat Max, that is probably the reason he isn't even close to P2 anymore. Because no matter what he does, he will ascribe his failures to "not being as good as Verstappen".

As a writer, please check out booksprouts or other arc review sites. Indie authors need a ton of help with reviews and you get free books in exchange.

It's a fair exchange, and as someone that only recently got into indie pub books, many of them are actually much better than the indie reputation implies.

3 places for fucking over a direct competitor? Alpine is closer to Ferrari than Ferrari is to Merc/AM.

Seems like he got a slap on the wrist...

It's shrödinger's authoritarian Amazon most of the time.

Self-pub authors are terrified of the great hand of Amazon, meanwhile shit like this happens.

It seems like they do have quite an extensive review process, it just takes a long time. Resulting in legitimate authors being punished and bot farmers thriving, I guess.

They're probably overpaying people that do not contribute a ton, eh? Makes me wonder how much the top brass in general earn.

I actually rank Stroll pretty highly compared to most, but this season in particular has been abysmal.

Looking back, I think his 2020 season sort of shows he could at least be on the level of Perez. But then, he really needs to start getting podiums this year for that to be even remotely true.

Alright, but functionally, for a reddit refuge, which one is "better"?

Edit: and what's Mastodon?

The trailer looks great, but I know better than to trust trailers at this stage.

Skyrim is popular because of its modding capabilities. I would have never touched it after the first 60 hours if it didn't have a great modding community.

If you want a similar cow to milk, you have to be prepared to invest into creating good modding tools.
