Among the tested models, GPT-4 Turbo ranked highest with 46% accuracy, while Llama-3.1-8B scored the lowest at 33.6%.

“The main takeaway from this study is that LLMs, while impressive, still lack the depth of understanding required for advanced history,” said del Rio-Chanona. “They’re great for basic facts, but when it comes to more nuanced, PhD-level historical inquiry, they’re not yet up to the task.”

I’m sorry, you fucking what? How about you test the world’s population in PhD level history and see if you get a 46%? Are you fucking kidding me? You’re telling me this machine is half accurate on PhD history and you’re tryna act like that doesn’t just make your entire history department fucking useless? At most, you have 5 years until it’s better at the job than actual humans trained for it, because it’s already better than the public at large.

I actually thought about this a while ago. Surely there are many hated people in the world, but some world leaders take the cake. I would pay to piss on Putin’s grave for example. So… Why isn’t there a business opportunity here? Buy the graveyard holding them, sell tickets to piss on Putin/Trump/Kimjong/Xi/whoever. You can make it into a holiday - 1000 euro for a weekend in a Moscow hotel, you visit the Kremlin, you piss on Putin’s grave, you go home with a shirt that says “I literally pissed on Putin and all I got was this lousy Polonium-engraved t-shirt”. I almost bought pissonputinsgrave.com when I thought about this, but I lack the funds to actually buy their graveyards.

Surely there’s something here for our society, right? We’re all tired of oppression at the hands of a few power-hungry old fucks and are just waiting for them to die so that we can finally release our common prostate. Or is it just me and you that would love the satisfaction of defiling the corpses of these cunt dictators?

If you hold the phone on your side of the bed, it should theoretically record your sleep pattern, not hers. So it should play the alarm when you’re in light sleep, not her. And since the alarm starts off with low volume, there’s a high chance you will be the first to hear it - she might not even notice it before you’re already up. Unless you’re a heavy sleeper and she isn’t, in which case - yeah, it might not work.

The only thing I’ve tried that actually works: apps like Sleep Cycle.

The app tracks your sleep, but that’s secondary for you. What you want out of it is the alarm part. You give it an interval of time when you want to wake up, and it’ll do it based on which sleep stage you’re in.

The idea is simple - you have different stages of sleep. Sometimes you’re in deep sleep, sometimes in REM (rapid eye movement), sometimes in light sleep - there may be others, idm. You want to wake up from light sleep, that’s when you feel the most fresh. Waking up from deep sleep you’re all groggy and still half asleep. So the app determines when you’re in the lightest sleep, and it plays an alarm gradually, so that you’re not just scared awake.

The thing is, this feature is actually not why I got the app. I wanted to track my sleep, I didn’t really care about how I woke up. But I honestly just found it easier to wake up with this, so now I recommend it.

Cameraman: we are doomed as a nation.

Soldier: agreed, death is the only way out of a slow descent into misery.

Cameraman: indeed. Unless we rise up and kill Putin, no other country will see us as anything more than a shithole infested with vermin. Death is the only way out. This is why we put some spikes in your cake.

Soldier: say no more, fam.

Me this morning on the phone with mage support: My carriage’s doors get stuck when messengers try to deliver me messages from the king.

Mage support: I’m gonna need you to bring the carriage in.

I go to the mage’s quarters.

Me: Here’s the carriage, mage. Is this gonna take long or should I wait around?

Mage: give me your crystal number and I’ll project astrally when we’re done.

Minutes later.

Mage, appearing on my crystal: have your doors ever opened for messengers from the king?

Me: nah, ever since I got the carriage it’s been closed doors. It works for other messengers though. Just not messengers from the king.

Mage: yeah, we’re gonna need to recreate the carriage from scratch for security reasons.

Motherfucker if your fix for the laptop’s inability to connect to wifi is to format the thing, you’re not IT, you’re a script kiddie. My bad - you’re not a mage, you’re a peasant selling counterfeit potions.

Cât and lion are different species, traffic cone and butt plug could very well be the same plastic.

Holy shit, if that’s how they wanna play this, God’s telling me to shoot some insurance fucks.

I just don’t go places

Shit inside his mouth, let’s see him say stuff then.

I’d argue it’s nowhere near chaotic evil, maybe true neutral (disregard law or morality as long as it benefits you), with arguments to be made for chaotic good (disobey the law to get rid of evil).

Hopefully also doesn’t need saying, but this is why you get rid of the bat in a dumpster across town.

Get twenty phone numbers. Whenever you meet someone you know, tell them you changed your number because of this stalker and to give you their phone so you can give them the new number. Give each person a different number every time, until you reach twenty. Make a note of who got each number. Wait a week. If you weren’t contacted yet, do the same thing with 20 other people.

When you ARE contacted again, you’ll at least have a list of people who knew the number, if not the exact person. Then you put on a hoodie in a color you don’t usually wear, take a baseball bat to their head from behind, get rid of hoodie and baseball bat in a dumpster on the other side of town and enjoy the rest of your life.

Nah, man. You can’t be responsible for the middle ages and denial of science and then turn around and say “oopsies, actually we’re good with some science now”. You can’t be the greatest threat to several civilizations and the reason wars were fought and crusades killed millions and then claim “nah bro, on God, we’re just finna heal some people, trust us np”. You can’t cover up pedophilia in your ranks and move offending priests from parish to parish, from abuse to abuse, and then say “yo, just let us take care of people when they’re at their weakest, trust us bro, we just need a bit more power over people in a position of weakness bro, just this one more time bro”. No, catholic hospitals are like saying Isis summer camps or CIA flower planting trips.

Your institution is evil. You don’t get to give yourself some good PR and wash the evil away. Everyone knows you’ll just use whatever power people give you to further your own agenda - like push for letting women die instead of performing abortions, or preaching abstinence instead of teaching teenagers how contraceptives work. You’re evil and will die evil. All society can do is not help you slow down your death.

You = catholicism, not you as a person. I’m sure you’re cool and all, and it’s a shame you haven’t yet gotten out of the indoctrination - though it’s not surprising, catholics have been indoctrinating people for literal millenia. They’ve gotten really good at sinking their teeth into people and guilting them into following along with the rest of the flock.

You can derive your morals from wherever you want, I honestly don’t care. And you can consider those morals when applying for a job, such that you don’t end up with a career in a field where you are forced to go against your morals. This “I’m in emergency care or obgyn but don’t do abortions” shit? That’s too late. You had your time to make a decision - when you’re already hired is not that time.

I’m sure plenty of catholic doctors make great physicians. But if you allow your morals to come before your job, but actually lack the morals to quit that job when it is apparent that it contradicts what you believe - at that point you’re not taking a moral stand, you’re just a cunt with a soapbox.

I too can write ‘roses’ on a sign and put it in my back yard next to the pile of manure.

they should not have to perform abortions and prescribe contraceptive treatment generally

Abortions are medical procedures and contraceptives are the medical professional advice to prevent unwanted children/disease. If the institution doesn’t allow for fucking medicine to be practiced, it’s not a hospital, it’s a church.

So yeah, let’s allow catholic hospitals to do whatever the hell they want with regards to religion, idgaf. But if their religion prevents them from offering medical care, they’re not allowed to practice medicine and they sure as shit aren’t allowed to call themselves a hospital.

Idk about ally hat, I just wanted to say that emoji always makes me think of two people high fiving first, and I need to mentally change it to “no, it’s probably praying”.

I know gender and sex aren’t the same thing. You could tell that because I provided two meanings for gender, only one of which was sex. Your problem seems to be I don’t accept your definition of gender.

But this isn’t really your problem, because it’s not your definition. Instead, it’s a newer definition that’s been tacked onto the word, that you have accepted and propagated, and now are jumping on others for not doing the same. I ‘d be lying if I said I don’t understand why you’d want to change the meaning, to make it something else. It’s a good word for you. It’s a word that is already known, so it’s in the collective mindset. A new word would be harder to get ‘out there’, while another (weaker - lesser used) word wouldn’t generate as much buzz and discussion when you misuse it. It’s a cunning thing to do. It’s also unacceptable and vile. If we’re changing words’ meanings, then you’re welcome to find out

That’s stupid.

Has in the meanwhile been changed to mean “I concede that I am in the wrong regarding this matter and will take myself out of the conversation for future replies”.

To reinforce this change in meaning, I’ll be blocking you now. Have a good rest of the day.
