It's completely plausible and similar to the ancient meme of the KIDSEXCHANGE sign.

You probably want to go in several different directions.

I understand where he is coming from as well, but yes, I disagree with prohibition in general and it's not for political reasons.

The best way to get someone to do something is to tell them they can't do it or they shouldn't do it. It's human nature, especially during youth.

Yeah, and that is annoying. I specifically remember that quote as a test question from when I was in highschool.

I mean, I probably got the question right back then but as I get older, the more stuff I find that I need to relearn.

Learning is a journey and reviewing old assumptions is always a good thing albeit time consuming.

The toxicity level of caffeine is going to be much higher and cause some nasty cardiovascular issues at higher dosages. (I was hospitalized as a teen for a caffeine overdose, actually. It's not a fun time.)

This is a rough estimate, as I didn't send too much time looking, but 1.2g of pure caffeine is enough to cause seizures with an estimate I saw of 5-10 grams to be lethal.

The first result I saw for a lethal dose of THC was 1.2g/kg so for a 180lb (81.6kg) person that is about 100g. (That's a lot of pure THC, btw.)

I believe the risks of cannabis are significantly less than nearly every other recreational drug out there. Hell, I am a huge psychedelic proponent, which in many cases causes less physical damage than most other drugs but also comes with its own list of caveats.

But yeah, I see what you are saying and agree. It is important to understand the correct risks of just about anything in life.

Some dry alcoholics love their soapbox though. I'll occasionally bash alcohol, but I honestly try to keep my opinion to myself unless I am with other recovering alcoholics. (Repetitive negative reinforcement has a place, believe it or not.) What I am saying is that it is easy for someone in perpetual recovery to get a hair preachy. It's a thing. (Also guilty here, btw.)

It's usually only stocked in stores around the holidays and I am too lazy to make it on a whim.

So, because of that, yes. It is only a holiday drink for me. It's unfortunate, because I love the stuff. (Even when I drank, I didn't care for it with alcohol.)

Crimes do not need to be committed in anger and crimes can also be petty. Autism doesn't need to be a direct cause of a crime, but it will probably be a huge contributing factor.

I can't think of a specific case off top of my head, but I'll describe a scenario that I know I have been through hundreds of times. This could also apply to anti-social behavior or what would seem to be a disregard for "social rules" in general. (Excuse me while I try to explain a state of mind without a good example.)

Sometimes, an action seems the most logical in the moment. If someone was to exclaim in excitement, "Some one pinch me, because I must be dreaming!", my first reaction would be to take that statement literally and pinch the person. In my head, the action was justified, and I would expect a positive response when we know that likely would not be the case.

If we scale that up a hair, there have been cases, with me specifically, where an action that seems logical may absolutely not be appropriate or even legal. I absolutely have no intentions of breaking a law or causing trouble, but my brain immediately tries to solve a problem in the simplist way possible and I act on what I can only describe as reflex.

I think what I am trying to describe is very similar to my distinct lack of brain-to-mouth filter. If there is an obvious solution to something, but nobody actually says it out loud, I probably will. Unbeknownst to me, everyone already was thinking what I said, and it wasn't socially acceptable to actually say it.

Thankfully, the legal system is setup to determine actual intent. Intending to commit a crime can be much more serious than commiting a crime by accident. Even the most serious of crimes are structured this way, ie: manslaughter vs murder; intentional or accidental.

They tried. I can still see it through the cosplay.

Yes, CSAM is bad.

However, false positives from scans also have the possibility to destroy lives. While I wouldn't cry about Apple losing millions in false-postive related lawsuits, it's simply not a good thing in this case.

Steel core M855 rounds almost always have painted green tips, actually.

JMF loves a bit of gypsum. It'll delay sporulation quite a bit, otherwise, they are in a hurry to drop their babies and you get much smaller shroomies. (Still a comparable yield.) Gypsum slows down substrate colonization quite a bit as well.

 

This is more of personal project to learn more about how speech recognition (SR) works and how AI training works at a low level. (Functionally, it's pointless and is just a self-assigned "homework problem")

To do this, I need to record a bit of audio to to use as training data.

Recording and chopping up .wav files is easy, but it's time consuming. I am toying with my own teleprompter-like python app that will prompt for a word, record and tag, and save for later. However, is there a good app to automatically create utterances that is already built?

Ideally, unrecognized words in my own SR system would be automatically turned into tagged audio clips to be used for re-training or fine tuning.

I am shortcutting a bit of this work in python with Google SR for my first dataset. Unfortunately, calling external APIs is sidestepping my intent of this project so I'll move away from that soon.

People that work with AI typically work with lots of data, so I figured here was a good place to ask.

 
 
 

Temporarily turning off unicode filtering may work if the users display name is different. (Some users may not be aware of what is causing this problem, unfortunately.)

(Maybe putting brackets around [usernames] might allow the "blank" usernames to be clicked.)

 

When doing a search for community names, it would be cool to also see the instance name a community is located on. (The user count of the community is still useful.)

A nice-to-have: Show the date of the last post to a community in search. (Some communities have gone stale even after a few thousand users.)
