she has had European clients shocked to learn they can face serious consequences for briefly overstaying a visa.
Are people stupid? Visa says “GTFO before this date”. If you then don’t then there are consequences. It’s not that hard to understand, no?
I agree that it’s ridiculous how people treated in those jails, and that he should not have been held for 3 months, but come on…


And he was locked up before Trump took office.
So you’re saying this happened under Biden? Not sure whether this is the dunk-on-Trump that people think it is >_>


We live longer and longer, retirement age is something that needs to be adjusted with the human lifespan.
I think it has more to do with the baby boom right after 1945. If those older people retire, there isn’t enough younger generation to support them, so more people need to work longer, so we don’t get too many retired people all at once.
I think it’s more of a “can we support the retired” kind of issue - not just “muh money”. It’s a little more nuanced than that.

WHAT THE FUCK IS “POLLUTION”!?
including large volumes of unburned methane
Ooooh. Yeah, that’s bad. Methane is a pretty bad greenhouse gas.


I like LLMs. Instead of making a racket, I just use them, which may make it seem like everyone on Lemmy hates LLMs.


OK, and? A car doesn’t run like a horse either, yet they are still very useful.
I’m fine with the distinction between human reasoning and LLM “reasoning”.


hush money is okay.
Weird how I said “Musk is using his money to manipulate people and he’s an asshole for that”, and you completely ignored it…


When she didn’t sign the NDA, the payments were reportedly slashed, and eventually cut again to $20,000 a month.
Oh no! Only 20,000 dollahs!? That poor woman must now be living on water and bread for the rest of her life!
Listen, I get it - Musk is using his money to manipulate people and he’s an asshole for that, but the cry story is just bleh.


It already passed on 13 times…


Disney vs Musk when?
Put a few strands between your fingers and pull. If it squeaks, it’s been washed.


It’s what clocks are “supposed” to be set at
Even better for us Dutchies: CEST shifts us one hour, but our timezone is the same as the rest of the mainland, but technically we’re inside the UTC zone, so we’re actually shifted 2 hours from where we’re supposed to be!
Fuck the economy, I want our times fixed, so we can sleep better!


I wasn’t sure if you were joking, but nope: https://newsroom.heart.org/news/heres-your-wake-up-call-daylight-saving-time-may-impact-your-heart-health


That was clear from GPT-3, day 1.
I read a Reddit post about a woman who used GPT-3 to effectively replace her husband, who had passed on not too long before that. She used it as a way to grief, I suppose? She ended up noticing that she was getting too attach to it, and had to leave him behind a second time…


Andrej Karpathy (One of the founders of OpenAI, left OpenAI, worked for Tesla back in 2015-2017, worked for OpenAI a bit more, and is now working on his startup “Eureka Labs - we are building a new kind of school that is AI native”) make a tweet defining the term:
There’s a new kind of coding I call “vibe coding”, where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists. It’s possible because the LLMs (e.g. Cursor Composer w Sonnet) are getting too good. Also I just talk to Composer with SuperWhisper so I barely even touch the keyboard. I ask for the dumbest things like “decrease the padding on the sidebar by half” because I’m too lazy to find it. I “Accept All” always, I don’t read the diffs anymore. When I get error messages I just copy paste them in with no comment, usually that fixes it. The code grows beyond my usual comprehension, I’d have to really read through it for a while. Sometimes the LLMs can’t fix a bug so I just work around it or ask for random changes until it goes away. It’s not too bad for throwaway weekend projects, but still quite amusing. I’m building a project or webapp, but it’s not really coding - I just see stuff, say stuff, run stuff, and copy paste stuff, and it mostly works.
People ignore the “It’s not too bad for throwaway weekend projects”, and try to use this style of coding to create “production-grade” code… Lets just say it’s not going well.

I dont know… This Linux thing is pretty great, IMO.
I get their point, but it feels like it’s more about tech being abused by large corporations, trying to squeeze another cent out of you.
