It’s amusing how each generation seems to independently come across the “empty chip bag” meme and the actual explanation - the bag is intentionally oversized and slightly inflated to give the chips a buffer against being crushed. I remember seeing it come up about once a decade, including pre-(consumer)internet.

Ah yes, all 16-year-olds have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of Neo-colonialism, and a full understanding of Marxist theory to make sound judgment against the framework that they’ve known their entire lives!
That would be the hot tub and in a lot of places, they’re adults only (or often 16+)… the kids would get the shaft.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do people even mean by "If you don't use AI, you'll fall behind"?English
0·4 days agoAn LLM can only be derivative. It can come up with “unique” patterns, but only based off it’s training data. For something like your use case, it would have very little data to work on given that you claim the documentation is poor. Your best case would be to use a high reasoning model and feed the documentation into it’s context before asking anything - but it will only give you answers based on that input. If the documentation is wrong or outdated, you’ll get answers based on wrong and outdated data.
As far as “who could get left behind?”, I feel that is more people who’s job can be impacted by LLMs - programming is a big one, and the reason is largely in my first paragraph. The amount of “training data” on the internet for coding is absolutely massive and incredibly well organized because programmers are nothing if not incredibly pedantic. The result is that the task of writing code can be largely offloaded and with recent models, the quality of the code being produced is extremely good, especially in tasks that are well solved/documented.

People also often lived much closer to their work so commuting was just walking down the street a short ways. It wasn’t until cars became common that the sprawl and long commutes started.
We used to coat regular potatoes with a thick layer of mud and nestle them into the campfire to bake, they also came out much more rich and earthy compared to regular baked potatoes.

20·12 days agoGood example of outfits sending signals.
Slacks and a button-up probably made you look like management just out picking up slack, and people subconsciously left you alone - “oh, they’re probably really busy with management stuff and also had to go shelve books… I’ll leave them alone”
Casual clothes in contrast would have signalled “worker” - “I’ll just go ask that person, it’s not like they’re doing anything important, they’re just shelving books!”
The sermon is basically open-mic time for the priest. They generally offer commentary on the gospel, how it relates with the other readings/psalms of that mass, current events and so on.
With the sermon being what it is, it’s one of the big ways in which a priest can influence their congregation. The priest doesn’t select the gospel, readings, psalms, etc. it’s all published in a book called a Missal, and does not change very often, so they can’t cherry-pick certain passages etc. Given as well that priests are regarded as (in effect) the “messenger from God”, parishioners will often alter their thoughts and behaviours based on these sermons.
Now, that being said, the priest is that church’s “store manager” - hired and appointed by the diocese and is responsible for more than just saying mass, they run the church. Think of what a store manager would do - HR tasks, maintenance, advertising, and so on - is all the head priest’s responsibility. If there was no priest to make a sermon, that church would have been shut down.

0·14 days agoOne thing colony management games really don’t handle is rot… so your concept would be really good along with a progression system, so you start with a functioning but failing colony, and have to fix/rip out/rebuild/etc to keep it running, but doing any of that runs the risk of breaking something you might not have known about and so on…
