    I was beginning to think that I could go this day without any “joke” or remark that would exclude me from the group “men” because I’m not into women, but here it is. I was almost getting worried that it took so long today :/


  • Imo it’s more the other way around, but that’s not necessarily bad. Arch (and Linux in general) gives you a lot more control, while windows tries to block the user from touching the internals. In my experience Arch breaks more often though, but when it breaks I can usually fix it. In Windows things usually work, but when they don’t work you might be kinda screwed because the internals aren’t that easy to reach.




  • I think these models struggle with this because they don’t process text as individual characters, but rather as tokens that often contain parts of a word. So the model never sees the actual characters within a token, and can only infer the contents of a token from the training data itself if the training data contains more information about it. It can get it right, but this depends on how much it can infer from training data and context. It’s probably a bit like trying to infer what an English word sounds like when you’ve only heard 10% of the dictionary spoken aloud and knowing what it sounds like isn’t actually that important to you.

  • You’re trying to put words in my mouth that I didn’t say. I do think it’s a good idea to stay at home while ill, personally I even wore a mask the first day after having the flu when going to the store. But right now basically everyone I know is having something, whether it’s the flu, COVID, or the common cold. You can stay inside while ill, but you can’t just stay home the moment you have some minor cold symptoms. Life goes on, at some point you’ll need to work and get groceries etc. We should take precautions, but we shouldn’t panic for every minor cough.

    Once more, I don’t know the full context of the people in the image, so it’s very hard to say anything.


  • I mean, we have very little context here. But how I currently read it I’ll have to agree with the “No”. If you go to a party then you’ll obviously run the risk of getting ill with COVID or something else like the flu, but at the moment you run that risk pretty much everywhere. COVID, the flu, and the other viruses are no longer a threat to any functioning health system. They’re still a threat to many individuals, but that in and of itself is not reason to stop living your life. At some point we’ve concluded that the pandemic is over and the risk is no longer big enough to stop living our life. And that unfortunately means that some immunocompromised people run a big risk, but we can’t stop enjoying our lifes forever or protect a few people.
