Some time ago: “I just hope the most evil people are so dumb that they get found out”

A lot of what he says is too obvious, but this one actually got me to think. Like oh yeah, sand dampens force and vibrations, it’s what sandbags are typically meant for; and yeah, a giant worm probably would have to move like a desert snake to get anywhere in sand.

Don’t misrepresent the situation, Elmo is a muppet not a puppet!

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out!

This is a good showcase on why, even if you win, gambling will still drain you. There’s plenty of stories of people who hit the jackpot immediately wasting it all hoping for a second jackpot.

I’m not sure what you mean, I don’t think I’ve seen a single isekai protag try to go back to Earth unless you count the “trapped in VR” ones.

I’m always a little disappointed by how quickly the regular world becomes irrelevant in the story. The intrigue is from how a person from a modern nonmagical culture interacts with a medieval magical culture.

But from the isekais I’ve seen, I’d say you could replace half of them with a person with amnesia and nothing would change.

Fundamentally due to it’s design, LLMs are digital duct tape.

The entire history of computer science has been making compromises between efficient machine code and human readable language. LLM’s solve this in a beautifully janky way, like duct tape.

But it’s ultimately still a compromise, you’ll never get machine accuracy from an LLM because it’s sole purpose is to fulfill the “human readable” part of that deal. So it’s applications are revolutionary in the same way as “how did you put together this car engine with only duct tape?” kind of way.

Multiple choice powerpoints but it’s competitive based on who submits the correct answer fastest typically played at school hosted by the teacher. Under a certain age basically all of us have done a Kahoot.

The yellow sticker usually correspond to what tote they belong in and the order they’re in for the delivery route, first thing you typically do is unpack a tote in the truck and sort them by number for ease of access.

My brain wants to trigger this sorting mode whenever I grab my packages, and it just reminds me of that terrible job.

Amazon has a system of desperate contractor companies that are absolutely reliant on amazon since they own the warehouses, trucks, and everything, but are also a moment away from having their contract ended, basically destroying the company. As a result you’re not really respected even if your employer tries hard to, they just can’t care for employees at risk of dissolving.

Used to be an Amazon delivery driver. Cursed with the knowledge of what all those stickers mean on my packages.

Also you’ll start noticing their massive delivery trucks everywhere.

Either they ran out of all those simultaneously or the wife has agreed this is an acceptable solution.

The spark is temporary, in my experience it comes and goes in waves. But a relationship requires work, even if your bored with/frustrated at/unfulfilled by your partner, some level of effort and perseverance is where true love begins.

There’s always a balance, don’t put effort into a sinking ship. But if you want a long term marriage your going to have to risk investing in someone who’s not currently satisfying you.

Also get checked for anything external that could make you lose interest, like depression that fosters apathy or ADHD that fosters boredom. If it’s bad enough to end 5 marriages it may be that your brain is chemically unsatisfied.

I don’t remember a time when including area codes weren’t standard, especially nowadays where it’s required for any digital services.

The country code is typically handwaved, which is +1 for America.

Constrain the design by strict fake rules and you get Monster Hunter.

It’s accessible for new users, easy for old users, but ironically the hardest if you know only just enough to be dangerous.

The official hosting of it has censorship applied after the answer is generated, but from what I heard the locally run version has no censorship even though they could have theoretically trained it to.

Not gonna lie, I thought this was gonna be a Saddam Hussein or Loss meme.

Thing I hate about exercise, it’s a fine line between “feel the burn!” and “you’ve done irreparable damage”.

Feels similar to the Plato quote “those who seek power are unworthy of that power”.

Probably just capitalism, but I wouldn’t be surprised if car batteries are reaping at least some of the benefits of the EV industry and their race for better batteries.
