Turning off all reposts is fairly easy in Settings->Content and Media->Following Feed Preferences, but I would like to turn it off for just specific accounts which I'm not sure you can or at least I don't know how.

What happens when ChatGPT cites to a real case but misstates what the case stands for? That doesn't fly for Judge Behm in Michigan. The court says that while a litigant could make the same error based on faulty reasoning, LLMs can't, because they can't reason.

And while a litigant might get away with similar overstatements because they could, perhaps, reason their way to showing how a case's stated holding might extend to novel situations, an LLM does not reason in the way a litigant must. To put it in a slightly different way, LLMs do not perform the metacognitive processes that are necessary to comply with Rule 11. When an LLM overstates a holding of a case, it is just piecing together a plausible-looking sentence

h/t @robertfreundlaw.bsky.social

holy shit, an accurate legal critique of LLMs. LLMs don't reason because they're just stitching together plausible-looking sentences indifferent to the content

Maybe a bit old, but I'm reading and enjoying The Waste Lands, King's The Dark Tower with Odetta Susannah. Obviously I'd start with book 1, but she doesn't appear til book 2.

Someone posted that it is intentional parody.

Coyote Ugly

All pies are great. My main feeling about blueberry, and non-custard fruit pies in general, is how much have you really improved on just eating a handful of blueberries. They usually fall apart enough that you are barely even eating the crust and fruit together.

Still amazing that we are still getting new Scorigamis. 3rd of the season I think.

🏈 TB 32 - 44 BUF
FINAL

✅ That's Scorigami!! It's the 1095th unique final score in NFL history.

The joke in 2 where he takes off his old man makeup and looks exactly the same is great.

Beautiful book

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

“Babe it’s 1 am why aren’t you in bed the children are going to wake up so early tomorrow”
“Sorry hun, me and the 157 most brain damaged friends I’ve met online are watching two baseball teams we don’t care that much about and the bits have gone on so long we can’t turn back now”

The last gallup poll of the death penalty is only -10%[53-43]. Makes me skeptical of all these numbers.

I do think which specific games to have when is a different issue than having a general layout of game timeslots. Maybe a Sunderland game is more attractive to the broadcasters than it was at the beginning of the season. At a minimum, they could put all the Saturday blackout games on Boxing Day.

What day of the week Boxing falls isn't exactly a surprise. How bad are their lawyers that they didn't explicitly discuss this situation when they did the broadcast deals? They are only now 2 months out deciding how they want to do the festive period? Or is this just a bluff?

I'm just rooting for them to be better than Newcastle.

Wasn't even a majority of voters, just a plurality.

Even a lot of the advent calendars just have 25 days instead of the full 26 days.

Though that one the front door opened onto a slope which probably just subsided at some point. Here, maybe it was a row home and some of the neighboring homes were demolished for a parking lot at some point?

We had a house in my area[one town over] that had a front door like this, and I was annoyed when a new owner fixed it[built steps].

NYT xword isn't like British crosswords/cryptics, they don't do those word games generally. There have been previous clues for loo with in (british cue) that didn't include the letters. The crossword does like alliteration though. Oddly, 3 months ago the clue for LOO was Brit's "bog".

Fun fact, a Canadian team has to win it at least every 40 years for them to be allowed to call it the World Series.

In Vlad's defense, we have no idea how the Maple Leafs would do in this round of the playoffs

I liked Seranthony when he was a Phillie, but there is something comforting about seeing him implode with another team.

You can never have too much apple sauce.

Couterpoint: I'd like to see Slovenia qualify.

Alice Beck Dubow[Superior Court] and Michael Wojcik[Commonwealth Court] are both Democrats. I have three county judges up and they all won both sides of the primary 10 years ago and I can't even find campaign websites or any policies[and I forget if I voted for them a decade ago].

There were 2 US series, 1997 and the 2010 CW one.

Kindle Vella, launched by Amazon in 2021 and only shut down this year, and no one has heard of it. Once I see serialized fiction I instantly think why couldn't I just get the whole book at once and read it at my pace. And I have fond memories of Shadowmarch by Tad Williams serialized in 2001.
