Hi @MTA this UX is misleading. The turnstile didn’t take @OMNY_Info but *did* allow entry via regular MetroCard. “NO ENTRY” is wrong.
misleading info entry
The the words it uses that this site has seen
least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —
nothing here is a summary of this one.

The camera feature in the @Gemini_Notebook mobile app is so transformative for on-the-go research. I was up in the Sierras working on a new project, and I just took photos of everything, like this museum display. Then I asked for a detailed report of all the info in the image. The text below is what I got back. (I fact-checked it myself and it was 99% accurate -- and some of the text it transcribed is so blurry in the image that it was hard for me to read it.) Next step is to generate documents like this for all the photos I took, and then ask Notebook to highlight all the information that ad… Google Related

Keen observation from Michael Backes re: AI and mentoring: "routine, lower-stakes work — drafting, debugging, first-pass review, data entry — was never just throughput. It was the cheapest way a junior employee built pattern recognition before anyone trusted them with an ambiguous, high-stakes call." Related

Their words
Artificial intelligence has unleashed a torrent of cheating on campus and created chaos in the job application process, as both students and employers use large language models: the former, to write hundreds of AI-assisted applications; the latter, to screen those AI-written applications with AI-written filters, thus removing from the process of finding a first job those procedural frictions sometimes known as "people."

Bought a broken Grizzle-E duo charger on ebay, assuming I could probably figure out how to fix it. The problem was that it was missing the cable between the two boards. Asked @UnitedChargers support for info on how the pins on the two boards should be connected, or to buy a new cable to connect them. They wouldn't help, so a guy on Reddit took photos of his for me. Three wires later and it works perfectly and I can charge both EVs at once. Related

This is a worthy entry in the genre. It suffers a bit from extensive plot not about banking and characters who barely speak to dragons. But all of that irrelevant fluff makes it one of the most underrated fantasy series I’ve ever read.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
