They still run ads trying to push the narrative that it's for comedians and musicians. But at this point, OnlyFans is so synonymous with egirls that suggesting someone has an account is used as a way to insinuate they sell pictures of

It stands for "OnlyFans" a website originally for creators to engage directly with their audiences but quickly became a website where women sold explicit pictures of themselves to subscribers.

No, same. Reading the headline, I immediately thought "Aw shit, here we go again". It's like that xkcd comic about unifying standards, now we have n+1 addictive opioids.

This feels like a "no shit" moment. Because if LLMs are prediction machines, the original novel would be a valid organization of the tokens. So there should be a prompt that can cause that sequence to be output.

No. I don't want no waffles. No toast. No crumpets. No scones. No smegging heated bread products of any kind.

This is going to sound nit-picky, but I wouldn't classify this as the model being able to say no. They are trying to identify what they deem are "harmful" or "abusive" and not have their model respond to that. The m

I think it's an issue of "what matters". FLOSS software is often made people who are interested in the thing being done. The UI to do it is something that can be fixed "later". But later is always later. There'

That’s because eventually reality catches up to you. If the reality of a thing is in opposition to the regime’s wishes, you can’t just wish that away. However, the regime will favor those who say “yes” over those who accept reality.

Naming things is one of the hardest problems we have. In general. Taxonomy is incredibly difficult because it is essentially classification. And things never fit neatly into boxes. Giving us such bangers as: Tomatoes are fruit; Everything i

No, they went after tax cheats and it wound up that there were a lot more people cheating taxes hiding behind conservative-sounding fronts than there were hiding behind liberal-sounding fronts. This was spun as "targeting conservatives

I guess it's because they expect others to operate at the same level so they will expect to guess what others want. But I agree with you, it should switch to align from the perspective of the person wanting something.

The only way to win by a cent is to put your bid at that. If the current price is $5 and your max bid is $30 and I put a max bid of $100, it will make the current price $31 - $35, whatever the increment is. To get ebay to accept a bid of on

It gets into the nature of "Which grain of sand makes it a pile?" Knowing people bid snipe by bidding one cent over whole dollars, would you consistently bid two cents over if it meant you would win more of your auctions? One cent

What do you believe is not accurate about it? I believe that the people on his show are real and have the money issues they claim. But I also believe that his crew select for sensationalism. You aren't ever going to see someone who the

Because it shows that it’s just yet another ad delivery vehicle. Once you go ads, that’s pretty much it, you start focusing on how to deliver ads rather than what you claim your core competency is.

And that is fair. I was just explaining why people feel you shouldn't.

Outside of Scott Adams and all of that. And I think public figures, especially those whose major schtick was to engender reaction, are a different story. But it's basically getting the last word in because the other party is unable t

Eh. I don't think Notch can really self-destruct. Was made a billionaire with the sale of Mojang to Microsoft. People may not like him, but I don't think it can ever truly affect him.

It's mostly because the dead cannot defend themselves. You are attacking someone who you have no fear of reprisal from.

I feel like this goes back to the "trick" of getting your questions about Linux answered. Basically, if you just asked your question "How do I do X on Linux?", you'd get no response. But if you said "Windows is

There's a matrix, with each cell being weighted differently. Do free work. Do good work. Be liked by your superiors. And sadly "good work" is weighted the lowest. And if you are liked enough by your superiors, that's

That’s because they don’t know what creativity is . They believe the idea itself is the creative bit: that thinking of the idea of a dog riding a skateboard is in and of itself a creative act.

I think it's the "cascading" part that makes it laborious. If I have an element with a class on it, there are multiple selectors that can affect it. It can be because it is contained within another element, because it is an

I think it's more that the analogy is broken. If I have a sheet of paper and I color a section black. That's it. It's black. No going back. So I can see people thinking the same for PDFs. I drew the black box. It's black

I think it's part laziness here. Placing a black rectangle on a PDF is easier than modifying an image or removing text from that same PDF.

Wonder for reducing burnout risk? I don't know, maybe it's because my experience with Wonder was unique, to a degree. My autistic stepson has the game. Loves Mario. Will gladly get into any game, whether it is an RPG like the Pa

Social Security counts on there being a larger workforce every year. If there's ever a significant population crunch of working age people, it would be in trouble. In 2018, the cost of the Social Security program exceeded total revenue
