Today I learned that people don’t consider Jon Pertwee sexy

I’M SPARTICUS!

The most likely “next” supernova for a star that can be seen from Earth is VY Canis Majoris. Even then, stars are unpredictable and hard to precisely measure, and so that supernova could be really anytime in the next 100,000 years. That’s a weekend in stellar time, but from a human perspective, that’s ~20x the entirety…

Agreed. I would never travel the high seas without a Wavebird.

Yeah, this is the whole idea of the modern microservice model is that you treat web services more or less like classes with their own methods, and each URL is calling a method with a different function.

It’s great for software scalability, since if any single microservice gets too complicated or starts being…

Yes, but the point is that it wouldn’t be tied to Steam anymore, so the fact that the Steam servers aren’t available wouldn’t make your game unplayable.

>PC is an open platform. If Valve ever goes out of business, people will work out a way of getting access to your Steam purchases.

Valve has openly said that if they go out of the business, they last thing they do before they hit the lights is hit a DRM kill switch

While this does suck, I cannot fucking wait for Alan Wake 2

Question: Is that statue history’s oldest “derp face”?

>How did surprise come into this?

The question I answered

Take a chill pill internet tough guy

My original post that you’ve been responding to:

“You’re surprised that a professor in an Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources doesn’t have more than a cursory flawed understand of advanced language models?”

Try reading, my guy.

And intellectual hubris from a professor *surprises* you?

Again, the question is - should it *surprise* you? If it surprises you, you clearly don’t know many professors, my guy.

Except you also don’t need to know what they can and can’t do to be a professor of Agriculture, which is the whole point, my guy.

Agreed. Prof shouldn’t be using it to make assessments on something serious as cheating.

> The problem is not that a professor doesn’t understand the theory behind LLMs. It’s that he assumed that he DID know that ChatGPT could do something that it can’t do (i.e. accurately tell you if it wrote a sample of text).

I completely agree with this. I never defended the prof.

I only said it’s not surprising professor was ignorant of the topic.

I never defended the professor. Nor would I.

You’re surprised that a professor in an Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources doesn’t have more than a cursory flawed understand of advanced language models?

Am I, as a computer science professor, expected to equally understand best cyclical farming practices in lieu of atmospheric change via greenhouse gas…

My guy, you have no idea what a company town is.

The history of company towns in the US relied on the company controlling:

1) Transportation
2) Goods and services flowing into the town

Okay, maybe you missed the point.

5 houses in a city of 87,000 a company town does not make.

Greenville is a major city of 87K people. Let’s say he’s at least 6 steps from turning it into a company town.
