I don’t want to dissuade you, because Split Fiction is just as fun, game-play-wise, as It Takes Two.
But the story is not as good. And the characters are even more teeth-grindingly frustrating sometimes.
But still play it, it’s a lot of fun.
Eh. Cold water is fine. I’ve been using cold water for years.
Warm water is nicer, but cold water is fine.
I never said that.
No, but the person I had replied to, hence the context for my post, did:
AIs will never be able to abstract away details correctly or design sensible workflows for boutique problems.
I’m not saying LLMs can, or will be able to, do these things. LLMs are likely a dead-end on the road to AGI. Dead-ends are part of progress. The crossbow eventually hits a dead-end in terms of propelling projectiles with ease faster and harder, but that isn’t the end of projectiles. We got cannons, then hand cannons, and then guns.
I’m saying if LLMs are cars, AI is “vehicles.” LLM is a subset of the broader category. We have helicopters and planes. They came later than horse carts and cars, but they’re still vehicles. And used some of what we learned building carts and cars, but also with new ideas and concepts.
And for all we know, someday someone will figure out how to harness the power of gravity like we did with electromagnetism, and we’ll have flying cars. We can’t know, but just because we don’t have the technology now doesn’t mean we never will.
Claiming it will never be able to do something is silly. We have no idea what advances will come in the future.
AIs will never be able to abstract away details correctly or design sensible workflows for boutique problems.
Not the current direction of AI, no. But the field is ever advancing. I won’t be shocked if we see AI capable of these things within my lifetime.
Vegemite is one of my most proud acquired tastes. My parents picked up a jar of it when they were down under, and when I was over and saw it I said, “Oh good, you got Vegemite!”
They started going on about how they think it’s a joke that the locals play on foreigners. I showed them that if you spread it thin enough, you can start to enjoy it. Then you build up that enjoyment.
I love that shit.
It’s okay as a spinoff. But it’s very much not the same show.
Now, if you decide you want to see more of the gang and their shenanigans, there is a single season of a spin-off show called “Scrubs: Med School.” It’s okay. Not great. It’s certainly not Scrubs though.
I feel compelled to say Scrubs s08e19, which is weird because they only ever made eight seasons of Scrubs.
I find it easier to just add/subtract 12, the problem is that I sometimes accidentally add/subtract 10.
Fortunately my wife is both gracious and adventurous in this regard, and is cool with having most of our stuff on Celsius. I switched before we were married, and she’s slowly learning by virtue of everything being on Celsius except her phone.
Edit: Also, this may be helpful, I came up with a heuristic early on to approximate Fahrenheit values to help me learn.
I memorized every 10 (and eventually every 5) and then approached from the nearest memorized point using 2°F per 1°C instead of 1.8.
For example, if something said 22°C, I’d start at 20°C=68°F and work my way up, adding 4, to get to 72°F. Since the actual value is 71.6°F, that’s close enough.
If you forget a 10 or a 5 it’s easy to recalculate them if you know another, because it’s 9°F per 5°C. So if 20 is 68, and 30 is 86, then 25 is 77.
(Obviously you could also do the full conversion but that takes me more time.)
My guess is I’d do better if every clock I owned was on 24-hour time. That’s how I did the Celsius switch, every device (except my car, which I haven’t been able to figure out how to change) I set to Celsius.
I was curious what they meant, too.
I have wondered if there is some mixing of non-stereotypical gender roles and gender identity. Like, if someone who grew up in the 90s and identified as a “tomboy” might consider themselves transmale or transmasculine if they grew up in the 2020s. But I don’t know enough to make any assumptions about this. Also it’s none of my business, really. It probably depends on the individual and how they see themselves.
(I do know JK Rowling has used a similar complaint in her TERFy ranting, which is why I tend to couch such curiosity in careful wording as best I am able.)
Why are all “modern” phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back.
Because different lenses are good at different things. On a three-lens setup, one is usually a telephoto lens for distance, another is a standard wide-angle lens for normal photography, and the third is an ultrawide angle for capturing more of a scene and for macro ultra-close-up photography.
Also you can film in 3D using two of the three.
Multiple lenses are a big part of why phone images are as high quality as they are these days.
And the one on the front is obvious, it enables things like video chat, selfies, and sometimes facial recognition (though that can also work by infrared and lidar).
I’m confused. Are you so vehemently opposed to the notion that all boobs are beautiful regardless of size that it merits a block?
Not sure about newer apple silicon though
Apple Silicon is impressive as hell. The power consumption per performance is remarkable. A buddy of mine said on his M2 MacBook Pro, Factorio ran better even through emulation than it had on his other laptop. And much better once recompiled for the ARM architecture.
(That said, I’m sticking with the x86_64 I know and love to hate, since while I like other Apple products I’ve never gotten the hang of OSX.)
I’ve been trying to move over to 24 hour time. I swear switching from Fahrenheit to Celsius was easier.
We have a very reactive pup and have had a couple sessions with a dog trainer to help us curb that reactivity. She taught us some neat methods to redirect his attention and eventually get him to a point where we treat him (with very high value treats) when he sees another dog and then lets us redirect him.
Over time he’s learning that the emotion he should feel when he sees another dog is excitement! It’s slowly working.
They’re just mad they don’t have any friends or a partner to play it with.
