That’s some juicy drama

To make it more educational make it interact with the system and the user . For example I would have the program to show a list of real files from the os and prompt the hacker to delete it or not.

Stop transfering people from sales to engineering!

It is a social issue. People being incapable of taking care of themselves is inevitable. All civilizations had these issues. Families, churches and general generosity of neighbors have always been used to mitigate this.

Now with the wealth gap increasing and the individualistic philosophy in our society with not noticing and tending to these early on. We only notice once the person is a full blown junkie. Many needed help for a a short moment in life and could of become autonomous after, many are both permanently incapable of autonomy. Either way society have to deal with them. We have enough resources! For the price of just one of those opulent pick up we could probably shelter one person for 2-5 years.

I moved to the city so I don’t have to drive every day. The only way for me to not daydream while driving was to drive fast enough for it to be dangerous.

One of my friend, often a my passenger, admitted he felt safer when I was driving fast and when I was a low speed he would “copilot” for me.

That’s your experience.

I have worked in very reputable places and none of that tip would reach the cooks. If we were lucky they would pay us a beer at the club later. I think it’s regional though. I know in Quebec waiters won’t share because the government assume they get 15% tip from everything bill and taxes them accordingly.

Would you rather have them only use it outside of school work where no one will point out that it can be wrong? Teachers could also ask questions on the studied subject in class to teach student that by copy pasting the output they are not learning much.

ChatGPT exist, kid will use it. Should adults guide them?

So the homework is encouraging kids to explore a real life tool and the teacher can look at the result and corrects any issue with the result thus guiding the students towards a appropriate usage.

It’s a good thing.

That’s accurate. There’s always a few steps not included in the tutorial

I feel like Inflation is not hitting me as much as my suburban friends. They keep complaining about the big grocery store chain collusion (they got caught increasing bread prices a few years back).

Where I live there’s line 3 mom&pop produce/pastry/butcher between me and the big chain grocery store. My big chain grocery store is cheaper then other store of the same franchise.

We built huge expensive highway sso huge corps could build mega stores that killed all the locally owned stores. Now they so what they want.

Mini van?

Wouldn’t it be a pleonasm? Tautology is more about the logic realm, specifically about repeating an argument or a statement as it they were different. Here “inaccurate factoid” is merely inaccurate vocabulary.

Early this year forest fire fighters in Alberta were complaining that new houses have so much plastic in them that they were combusting and consumed in like 5 minutes making saving them impossible and slowing the fire’s spread harder.

I’m having a hard time finding the quote. I found this explaining houses burn faster now than before because of plastic https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/modern-homes-burn-8-times-faster-than-50-years-ago-1.1700063

Considering the ridiculous heat of those forest fires 5 minutes is believable

The entire game story is a reflexion on cast/class in society albeit set in a medieval feudal world where nobles wage a war that brings suffering to the peasents who thus starts a revolution

It’s “Final Fantasy Tactic”. I’m currently playing the android port and played the original PS1 one a lot. It’s in my top 5 favorite game for sure

I didn’t really follow up on it. Maybe it was just politician saying stuff or it’s banned but not enforced so nobody cares

A more useful guideline would be something like: how to steer a conversation to be constructive for both parties.

I couldn’t get chatgpt to make this into a spectrum like in the pyramid but if you invert the order of the negative impact section and concatenate it after the positive liste you get the text for that pyramid. It does make sense though

Positive Impact:

1. Collaborative problem-solving
2. Active listening and empathy
3. Finding common ground
4. Constructive feedback
5. Open-ended questions
6. Positive tone and inclusive language
7. Clarifying and paraphrasing
8. “I” statements
9. Avoiding defensiveness and judgment
10. Seeking solutions together

Negative Impact:

11. Interrupting or talking over the other person
12. Dismissing or invalidating the other person’s perspective
13. Using aggressive or confrontational language
14. Making personal attacks or insults
15. Ignoring or belittling the other person’s feelings
16. Dominating the conversation and not allowing equal participation
17. Stonewalling or refusing to engage in discussion
18. Manipulating or twisting the other person’s words
19. Engaging in passive-aggressive behavior
20. Refusing to consider alternative viewpoints

There’s also the more potent: “you are right”. Although it has many draw backs
