I have not seen the Super Mario Bros movie in many years but I mostly remember being very confused by it.
I remember Bowser being oddly rapey
true to the source material tbh
Eh
I think Mario and Peach are both into it
When I think about what a random day in the life of Mario, Peach, and Bowser is, Peach and Bowser are fucking on the kitchen table while Mario watches through slits in the linen closet door.
I don’t know if this is true but Shiv is a famous historian...
I'm also a biologist dealing with kinky hard-shelled creatures
This is well within my bailiwick

It constantly made references to every aspect of the games except their tone. This lead to a feeling of every moment being wrong, for me. John Leguizamo did his best to pull the movie in the right direction, but ended up feeling totally out of place with the movie he was in, even if he would have worked in the movie he should have been in.
The Super Mario Bros. movie is still vastly better than every other videogame movie by doing something interesting with the source material

I just looked at the training time that the original paper used on the style transfer method I'm using and, um, it turns out it'd take me like a hundred days. So I'm gonna.. run tests to make sure it'd work and look for ways to accelerate the training..

Shiv how many 3080s do you need to print a million dollars on Etsy?
Simmons watched Lazare complete more assignments. She looked at the correct answers, which Edgenuity revealed at the end. She surmised that Edgenuity’s AI was scanning for specific keywords that it expected to see in students’ answers. And she decided to game it.
Now, for every short-answer question, Lazare writes two long sentences followed by a disjointed list of keywords — anything that seems relevant to the question. “The questions are things like... ‘What was the advantage of Constantinople’s location for the power of the Byzantine empire,’” Simmons says. “So you go through, okay, what are the possible keywords that are associated with this? Wealth, caravan, ship, India, China, Middle East, he just threw all of those words in.”
“I wanted to game it because I felt like it was an easy way to get a good grade,” Lazare told The Verge. He usually digs the keywords out of the article or video the question is based on.
Apparently, that “word salad” is enough to get a perfect grade on any short-answer question in an Edgenuity test.
Edgenuity didn’t respond to repeated requests for comment, but the company’s online help center suggests this may be by design. According to the website, answers to certain questions receive 0% if they include no keywords, and 100% if they include at least one. Other questions earn a certain percentage based on the number of keywords included.
Lazare isn’t the only one gaming the system. More than 20,000 schools currently use the platform, according to the company’s website, including 20 of the country’s 25 largest school districts, and two students from different high schools to Lazare told me they found a similar way to cheat. They often copy the text of their questions and paste it into the answer field, assuming it’s likely to contain the relevant keywords. One told me they used the trick all throughout last semester and received full credit “pretty much every time.”

Shiv how many 3080s do you need to print a million dollars on Etsy?
All of them
All of the 3080s
(probably none, I could download the pre-trained weights, but I want to do my own thing, plus I have some ideas for speeding up training involving progressively more difficult problems)

I am sort of amazed that edgenuity found a worse solution than letting a neural network figure out how to give black kids Cs.
There's a lot of posts on reddit /r relationships and r/am i the asshole that are clearly fictional or doctored retellings
And then there are the ones you desperately hope are fiction because were they true....
So, the thing is
1) people love making things up, especially to get others mad
2) people are, as a whole, fucking morons, and the dumbest stories on all the reddits probably involve a handful that are 100% truthful.

That seems like amazingly poor design.
This will only be stupid when the rest of our stupid fucking society also stops working this way.
to be fair, if you know enough about the subject to throw out all the relevant keywords, you deserve points
Yeah, devil's advocate, as long as it doesn't allow you to spam irrelevancies and still get full credit, you basically are demonstrating the knowledge.
(normal-people's-advocate: it absolutely allows you to spam irrelevances, I'm sure.)

Speaking as a frogrammer, I want to say how much I loathe how society has started using computers in this decade.

There's not a better time. Emotions are already high, why not pour on some more joy and overload everyone in the room?

As I was reading it, I kept expecting it to end up being a retelling of Star Wars or gremlins or something.
And they they all clapped for her

Stair sorting is far superior anyway.

I assume this will be the internet outrage of the day

I thought it was the dog the first, like, three times I scrolled past it. omg.
Which, to be fair,
Who?
At this point I figure stuff like this is posted by someone every day. I just don't know if this is a person I should know.
Hmm
*looks around*
I could probably fit a tiger in here?
