"Space opera's the same, but they call it le space opera."

It's been a long time since I lived in France, so my sense of what is idiomatic has no doubt grown rusty, but "Théâtre D'opéra" doesn't sound right. The word "Théâtre" doesn't belong in a reference to the place where operas are performed. It's "L'opéra Garnier" and "L'opéra Bastille" in Paris and "L'opéra Nouvel" in Lyon, for example. I'd read "théâtre d'opéra" as more like "operatic theatre" in the sense of a genre (contrasted with, e.g., spoken-word theatre). I could be completely wrong here, but the title feels like a naive machine translation.

Masto reply guy: "is it not better to train LLM on proper academic papers rather than random rants on Twitter and Reddit?"

well, actually, it's better to train them not at all, and if anyone advocates their use, to kick them in the nads repeatedly

The only use I've had for writing cursive in 30 years has been to copy out an anti-cheating pledge on a standardized test, because some fucker thought cursive magically makes a pledge 300% more honest.

I don't know of one that has definitively said that they won't.

Fuck it, we're going to have to found a publisher.

At some point, that just becomes unfair to the grass.

You guys aren’t gonna like to hear this, but being super wealthy and successful is always going to confer some degree of cool.

We trained a neural network on 29 years of Evangelion merchandise, and it screamed and dissolved into TANG.

Twitter — Elon Musk’s X — may be the most fruitful platform for this kind of search thanks to its sub-competent moderation services.

Zing.
