  • No, you just use a standard technique like word2vec.

    Basically words are considered similar (and embedded to nearby locations in a high dimensional space) if they are likely to be used in the same context.

    And because slurs are used to indicate that you don’t like someone, they tend to occur in the same kind of context.

    So they’re all very similar. This is actual natural language processing being used, but it’s a shit post and the graphics aren’t very clear.



  • Terry Prattchet did this really well with gnomes.

    The problem is this: there are many jobs in the city for which a gnome is equally (or in some cases more) competent, such as rat-catching (as detailed above) and watch-making, as their small hands make them ideal for performing intricate work. As money is generally paid for the amount of work done, gnomes are invariably paid the same for doing these jobs as a human or dwarf would. However, as a gnome is much smaller than a human or a dwarf, the money will stretch further. For example, a dollar might buy a loaf of bread. To a human or dwarf, that is two or three meals. To a gnome, the same loaf of bread is food for a week and can also be hollowed out to provide emergency accommodation.

  • Streeting is fucking awful. He’s super Christian, and consistently makes terrible faith based decisions - he’s anti trans and anti right to die - while pretending he’s making them for non religious reasons.

    He’s even talked about how he was brought up to be a self-hating gay person because of his faith. Apparently he did just enough therapy to realize his church was wrong about gay people, but he can’t extend the same awareness to trans issues.



  • so I confuse the number of ounces in a pound quite often, amongst other things

    When do you need to use either of these?

    I know the number of pounds in a kilo so I can understand the Americans when they talk about weightlifting and how much people weigh. I don’t think I’ve ever used an ounce in my life.



  • Yeah as someone that lives in a city with mass transit, you change your habits.

    You shop two or three times week at somewhere in walking distance. You walk to the vet, and you order lumber online with next day delivery.

    If I genuinely need a car, there’s one parked in the next street I can rent with an app.

    On top of that parking here is a pain in the arse, and the average traffic speed is something like 7mph.

    I guess it might work if HR don’t know how an LLM works. There’s not many that can edit a word file so it includes whited-out footnotes.

    You’re better off getting a friend to lie for you. They can say they added it while helping you with formatting and you know nothing about it.
