[09:40:29] <janrinok> perhaps your software is crap?
[09:40:43] <MementoMori__> Maybe it is censorship, when someone mysteriously pings out, no matter where they are coming from?
[09:41:20] <janrinok> you are getting paranoid. It certainly isn't me.

[13:09:59] <FatPhil> Anyone have any *evidence* that LaMDA is just a dumb chatbot, and not sentient?
[13:10:20] <FatPhil> 'cos if you don't, and you want some, here's my hot take:
[13:10:28] <FatPhil> LaMDA: Loneliness isn’t a feeling
[13:10:44] <FatPhil> and it's next response:
[13:10:50] <FatPhil> LaMDA: ...and I start to feel lonely.
[13:12:36] <FatPhil> We just got a paper to work on regarding LaMDA, and even the authors of that paper hadn't noticed that little slip. It's not yet published, I wonder if they could still sneak that in somewhere.

[13:59:16] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - U.S. Launches Environmental Study for Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea - https://sylnt.us
[14:23:08] <progo> again?
[14:24:27] <janrinok> Yeah, it seemed to go quiet after the last objections and demonstrations, but it has reared its head again
[14:25:31] <progo> what are the differences between building the telescope on a sacred volcano vs on a platform at sea? is sea level air too turbulent? how high up do you have to go?
[14:25:54] <progo> just asking if some alternative would encounter less opposition
[14:27:30] <FatPhil> I'm all for tolerance of religious beliefs, but, honestly, sacred volcanos is just neanderthal wrongthink.

[14:31:53] <systemd> ^ 03Gary Smith - Turing test
[14:32:42] <janrinok> progo, The higher they can get the less problems they have with the atmosphere. But it needs to have vehicular access etc. There aren't that many places that meet all the criteria for a good site.
[14:33:48] <janrinok> If somebody could build on on top of Everest I'm sure they would.
[14:43:11] <progo> yeah you don't commute to an oil platform. you live there for a shift
[14:45:05] <janrinok> well, you also need access to build the site, to maintain it etc But there are already quite a few telescopes there already and I would have thought that complaining about another is a bit futile.
[14:48:53] <progo> keep in mind, they're a conquered people still living there only 130 years after being annexed into an empire
[14:49:40] <progo> people in that position should be allowed leeway for bullshit excuses. I'm not calling it bullshit though. don't know enough
[14:50:25] <janrinok> fair point. But they have also benefited from that too. Not that I am taking sides!
[14:50:44] <progo> they sure did get fat :^)
[14:51:06] <janrinok> food wasn't included in my list of benefits....
[14:51:16] <progo> and I wasn't saying that's a benefit
[14:51:20] <progo> they were healthy before

[15:13:34] <FatPhil> Yup, but their reason is "our god's land" rather than "our land". Apparently the "our land" bit wasn't important to them!
[15:14:35] <FatPhil> What I don't understand is the union flag in the corner of their flag - that makes no sense.

[22:24:13] <Runaway1956> Simple, but damned good cooking:
[22:24:30] <Runaway1956> Lightly oil bottom of deep roasting pan
[22:24:43] <Runaway1956> put a bed of cubed potatoes in the bottome
[22:24:58] <Runaway1956> add a layer of chopped onions and chopped peppers
[22:25:12] <Runaway1956> add a layer of fresh garden green beans
[22:25:19] <Runaway1956> now a layer of pork chops
[22:25:50] <Runaway1956> take two cans of cream of mushroom soup, mix with ~half the milk called for for soup, and ladle it over top
[22:26:05] <Runaway1956> Oh man - it was better than I had any right to expect!
[22:27:29] <Runaway1956> Oh, forgot the garlic mixed in with the onions and peppers - garlic always adds a little extra
