  • The instrument panel shows the shifter position. The park button has a light that illuminates when in park. The transmission automatically switches to park when the car is turned off. If the door is opened when the transmission is in anything other than park, the car sounds a continuous warning tone, turns on the large red master warning light on the instrument panel, and shows a clear warning message on the central display.

    The prius used the same shifter design for nearly 20 years from 2003 to 2022, without issue. It is a well designed system with measures to prevent leaving the car while in park.


  • Not like, estrogen literally is a steroid. If you’re taking HRT you’re doing steroids.

    Most laypeople mean anabolic steroids when they say steroids. Those are the masculine ones that build muscles, but steroids as a category includes much more.

    All sex hormones are steroids. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are all steroids. So is cortisol, and many others that regulate many bodily functions. Steroids are a biological communication protocol used to control many things.

    Maybe I’m just being pedantic, (probably) but far from steroids in reverse, estrogen is the best steroid of all.

    But that picture also has very different framings. The steroid picture is taken from much further away with a lot of zoom. His face looks flat and you can see both temples simultaneously. Faces change dramatically based on how you photograph them.










  • LLMs are predictive models. They scraped as much text as possible to create a model that predicts the next word accurately. To generate text, the LLM assembles a sequence of likely next words.

    That exact same sort of model can be turned around and asked, how closely did the actual next word match the predicted one? Good test for training the LLM. A better model will make more accurate predictions.

    AI checkers are usually doing that test. Does the real text match what the AI predicted? It sounds like a test of the text, but it really isn’t. In this case, yes. Of course an AI trained on Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein can accurately predict the next word of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. It has the whole book memorized, if it were accurate to anthropomorphize computer code.

    So the “checker” calls it AI generated. These checkers don’t work.
