The relationship advice special is “leave him.” Without additional information I don’t think it’s responsible for anyone here to say that, but what you’ve described is clearly an untenable situation and relationship dynamic.

I think you owe it to yourself and your partner to sit them down, describe this situation as you see it, and how their behavior makes you feel, perhaps the way you have here. Their response to your feelings should, I think, tell you the next steps.

Whether that response is workable should, I think, be determined by its impact on trust in the relationship, because trust is ultimately the only fungible currency that differentiates a good relationship from a bad one.

Concretely:

1. If they disregard your emotions, disbelieve your experience, or disrespect your right to peace in your own home, this describes a dynamic in which there is no chance for compromise, and you have your answer.
2. If they still care about your comfort, realize something must change, and are willing to modify their behavior for your benefit, there remains hope to rebuild the trust that’s been lost.

In either case, what happens next is not something anyone here is equipped to prescribe, but I do hope you’re able to find a better relationship, with or without your current partner.

It’s semantics, but I think the person above is just pointing out that “AI” is an old umbrella term that refers to a lot of technologies that include previous current and future work, and shouldn’t necessarily be bound forever to one era’s misapprehension and misuse of a particular subset of those technologies.

Prior examples of AI included early work by Alan Turing. Current examples include tools that enable people with disabilities. Future examples might offer solutions to major problems we face as a society. It would be a shame if use of a term as a buzzword was all it took to kill a discipline.

That’s an apt example from English, especially given the visual similarity of the error.

It’s the kind of error we would expect AI to be especially resilient against, since the phrase “corner cube” probably appears many times in the training dataset.

Likewise scanning electron microscopes are common instruments in many schools and commercial labs, so an AI writing tool is likely to infer a correction needed given the close similarity.

Transcription errors by human authors, however, have been dutifully copied into future works since we began writing stuff down.

There was a comment yesterday that offered a simpler explanation than the headline’s conclusion.

The papers were published by Iranian researchers and in Farsi “scanning” (روبشی) and “vegetative” (رويشی) differ only by one character (ب and یـ) which also happen to be adjacent on the keyboard.

That is, there’s some evidence that this is a typo or mistranslation that has been reused among non-native speakers, as opposed to a hallucination. If so, it could still be a LM replicating the error, but I’ve definitely seen humans do the exact same thing, especially when there’s a strong language barrier.

Edit: brevity

That would seem badass until it invites a political sovereignty grievance. The US throws its weight around quite enough, and we absolutely meddle in other nations’ affairs for less justified reasons, but release of a citizen from the custody of a sovereign state is always negotiated, not forced, to ensure there’s always incentive to maintain the captive’s health the next time around.

The difficulty was drainage. Isolated steam systems in steam era construction were designed to use gravity for condensate collection. It’s one of the reasons boilers are always in the basement of old buildings.

Steam system engineering was a well-compensated profession. A well-designed system would accurately predict the rate of condensate flow for every part of the building, prior to construction, and reflect these predictions in the slope/grade and diameter of the steam pipes. Inaccurate predictions resulted in problems like pipe knock (aka steam hammer) which you can often hear when you or a nearby neighbor partially close the shut-off valve of a radiator.

Since construction in the city had many elevations and could not be predicted in advance, there was no equivalent solution to facilitate condensate collection. The system had to be one way. And yes, it’s inefficient compared to modern systems, but was innovative in its day.

Yeet the heat or beat the meat

Wtf? Bad form, Peter Pan.

That’s a good idea! My understanding is that the old steam network is slated for decommission and replacement by this program, basically a large distributed geothermal heat pump network that also harvests from major heat producers like data centers and provides both heating and cooling.

It will end the era of the steamy-street Sin City aesthetic but should be many, many times more efficient than the old steam system. Phase-change thermal transfer in HVAC systems is nearing 400% efficiency, so 4 times more efficient than the theoretical limit of direct heating, because it only uses the energy necessary to move heat from one place to another rather than produce it, and it works for both heating and cooling.

Right now I believe they’re piloting the system in NYCHA buildings (public housing) of neighborhoods outside the old steam network, like Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen, but supposedly the plan is to expand to the rest of Manhattan.

Edit: corrected coefficient of performance

Certainly not best practice. The reason I referred to the term is that “best” implies a spectrum of acceptability, where the “never OK” end of the spectrum includes stuff like storing user credentials in plaintext.

But also, if anything but best practice was truly never OK, there are many smaller programs that wouldn’t see the light of day, and there definitely wouldn’t be any junior developers.

I think “never OK” is overly proscriptive — we use the term best practice because there are less preferable solutions that are nonetheless viable — but your advice to use a proper logger is sound. Many developers don’t think to use them and they offer many benefits in terms of maintainability.

Great question.

There’s no universal rule against it and descriptive logs and errors are considered good practice, but one-off test statements in output are a common code smell, which isn’t a proper bug but suggests there might be one elsewhere.

Edit: use spoiler for info dump

Yeah it’s common enough I figured most knew, but a few years ago I went ice skating at the bryant park rink with someone who refused to walk anywhere near the steam. They thought it was toxic and didn’t accept my explanation, so we had to walk an extra few blocks to get around the steam work. Shrug

Old steam heating system. They vent it when they’re working on a section.

Side-note: surprised by all the fellow New Yorkers i’m seeing in this thread. I thought yous were still at the other place.

I delivered for two locations shortly after they fixed the pizza. In both locations, shift leads and managers came up with so many excuses for house pizza. More than any other chain I worked for. I didn’t connect the dots until later. The pizza must have been much worse before.

Edit: preemptive “no you”lol

To be understood, I’d probably just say projection, but if you need to emphasize a specific aspect of the behavior, we could break it down as:

1. an existing insecurity or shame that
2. prompts momentary social anxiety
3. evidenced by a defensive impulse
4. to preemptively introject

Explanation: introjection refers to a mirroring behavior, the kind often seen in children. In this case, the accuser anticipates an accusation from you which threatens or hurts them. To defend themselves, they hurl the accusation right back at you. But of course the first accusation only happened in their head, so all we witness is someone wildly accusing someone else of having their own flaw without any justification.

So to answer your question, while none of the Abrahamic religions officially worship a god with an exclusive female gender identity, their holy books technically do recognize at least one goddess, and that’s Asherah.

BONUS: her raisin cakes are still made in the Jewish tradition during Purim, though they are now triangular, contain various fillings, and are named after Haman, the villain of Esther’s story. They’re quite good.

Lol “please please tread on me”

Wasn’t the Gadsden flag anti-colonialist originally? Or is there a deeper history here I’m unaware of, like that it was only championed by wealthy slave-owners?

I assume you’re not referring to the fact that systemic oppression coexisted (which included slavery and genocide) since by that measure no liberationist symbol in history would survive.
