  • Even if you’re not banned from hexbear can you really interact with it?

    I wouldn’t call someone going through the wikipedia article for informal fallacies like it’s a checklist then brigading all your past activities an interaction so much as an experience, and not a good one at that.


  • it’s also worth mentioning that JPEG was designed for photographs, where there’s a very high likelihood that each pixel of an image will be a different colour to those immediately next to it. Because of this, JPEG not only has higher file sizes for text and 2d graphics/pixel art than PNG and especially a compressed SVG (which would far and away be the best method of representing the mario image - it’s close to the same “tile” thing but transferrable and well supported), but it also results in artifacts and lower quality of the image.


  • LLMs have a very predictable and consistent approach to grammar, punctuation, style and general cadence which is easily identifiable when compared to human written content. It’s kind of a watermark but it’s one the creators are aware of and are seeking to remove. That means if you want to use LLMs as a writing aid of any sort and want it to read somewhat naturally, you’ll have to either get it to generate bullet points and expand on them yourself, or get it to generate the content then rewrite it word for word in a style you’d write it in.

    Water, unsweetened tea, unsweetened coffee, milk and countless other non-sweetened or minimally sweetened drinks are way better for you than any sweetened drink though.

    “0 calorie” sweetened drinks are bad for you not because of their content but because eating sweet things increases your appetite as a reaction to sweet things being comparatively rare in nature, even if it’s not sugar, so it’s been proven that you’re more likely to overeat and snack between meals (where the snacks are often also unhealthy) following consuming sweet drinks (I can’t remember how long the effects stick around for but it’s long enough that it’ll stretch to your next meal, or make you want a snack before it), regardless of whether that food is sweet or not. Eating more also makes you lethargic so you’re less likely to burn the extra calories.

    The issue is this can be palmed off by the manufacturer as the fault of the people eating more, when fast food restaurants have anecdotally known this since forever and so include a sweet drink in their meal so that you want a bigger meal that you’ll pay more for.

    Even if you actively ensure that you’re not letting it affect your appetite, for the majority of the general population that is not the case, so in practice they’re close enough to being just as bad that it doesn’t matter which you have


  • coke has a zero sugar …

    and yet they’re probably charging the same as full sugar, probably while adding sweeteners to the full sugar version?

    I hate to break it to you but sweetened drinks aren’t much better for you than sugary ones, but are way cheaper to produce, so this is just coke wanting to save money yet again




  • I mean if you go back 300 years, but then if you go back 1000-1300 then most of England & Scotland starts to look pretty German (Anglo-Saxons, Norse), with England getting significant French & Scandinavian (Norman = French Norse) influence after and tenuously Austrian (Celts) before that… The native British people were completely wiped out at least twice before that, so frankly all sorts of European nations *could* have a claim if Putin rules applied

    I’m only getting into semantics because you are - that statement is singular and definite, therefore it can only be taken to have one of two meanings:

    A) a given straight man is selected at the start, and once he is voted out it ends.

    B) it ends once the final straight man is voted out, as at that point he would be the straight man. This can never occur as he would win by being the only one remaining, so there would be no vote for him to vote himself out.

    If they’re all straight without a single selection at the start, then there is not a definite straight man, and even if there is one selected at the start there’s only a 1/12 chance he gets voted out first.

    There’s been loads of cases of stock photo companies selling on work they’ve never had any rights to, they just exist to get the buck passed to if someone gets sued for copyright infringement, it doesn’t matter if it’s in the public domain as that is still useful in case you would’ve otherwise accidentally used someone’s 2014 recreation of the painting or something
