Having a few drinks and getting stoned and then having sex used to make me sweat like a pig.
Just having sex without being drunk or stoned makes me sweat a normal amount.
Also, anti-depressants have 2 problematic side-effects: they can make you sweat more and make it more difficult to climax.
Thai politics are very strange from a Western perspective.
I know enough about it to know that I just don’t get it at all and trying to understand through the prism of Western politics is just confusing.
However, without knowing anything about this specific situation my strong suspicion is that this phone call was a convenient excuse to remove her.
It’s one thing to say someone is a terrible parent who ought not to have had children, it’s a whole other thing to prevent someone from having children either before or after birth.
So you’re just making things up based on the vibe.
where does our tax money go?
This is a pretty easy question to answer given that you’re talking about a public institution.
The only difficulty is that the answer is complex and requires reading and understanding many sets of financial reports and accompanying minutes et cetera.
a city near me just bought 32 benches at the cost of 70k€ EACH
That’s a pretty absurd claim, and simply not how budgets in public institutions work.
Sure there might have been some kind of fuckup so installation of one of 32 benches cost $70k, or any number of other plausible explanations, but large public institutions don’t just throw $2.25m EUR at the end of a quarter as a budget stuffing exercise.
How could this ever be a reasonable idea, regardless of this mother’s heritage.
Even if they’re only applied with good intentions, it’s still so obviously wrong.
I feel like people are somehow stupider.
In Australia in the 80s there was very strong opposition to the introduction of tax file numbers, similar to a social security number I guess - merely a unique identifier for tax paying citizens. It was considered an over reach by the government, and an unnecessary way to track and monitor citizens.
Now 45 years later those same people who were resistant to this type of identifier, like my parents, are nodding along with the conservatives who are trying to implement AI surveillance everywhere saying how necessary it is to protect us all from evil crime doers.
I don’t know the answer and I don’t know anything about how LLMs are tuned but I think the answer is probably partially yes.
My supposition is:
Instead of providing manual answers to specific questions, you modify the bot’s approach to answering different types of questions.
For example, if you ask “what color are bananas” the bot answers this by looking for discussions about the color of different fruits and selects the word that seems to be provided most often.
Alternatively, if you ask “what is two plus two”, when the bot parses the question it recognises that it’s a math question, so instead of looking for text discussions of math, it converts it to an equation and returns the solution.
Previously, I guess bots were answering the “how many r’s” question in the text based kind of way, and the fix made the bot interpret it in a more mechanical / mathematic kind of way.
It’s a pretty salient demonstration of a bot’s inability to reason. They’re good at making sentences, but they can only emulate reasoning.
Thai politicians doing Thai politics.
I’m certain it would be entertaining if I only know what the hell was going on. I’ve been a long time observer but I just don’t get it.
