Weren’t people a bit more positive about monarchy back when Elizabeth II was alive? I feel like she had a sort of mystique that made her feel more legit for some reason.

What does debloating entail exactly?

What the hell. I’ve never seen such an issue. Microsoft is so considerate; they provide us with cool little surprises like that from time to time. ♥️

I like my pizza with lots of sauce, way more vegetables than crust, and cheese is actually optional.

I don’t care what the purists think. I like what I like and it’s valid.

I really don’t think their version was minimizing anything. Just less specific.

Assuming it’s just like a Steam Deck without the screen, how would that compare to popular controllers like consoles first-party ones or 8bitdo’s offerings?

It’s not just that the input data is crap. Mostly the issue is that an LLM is a glorified autocomplete. The core of the technology is making grammatically correct sentences. It has no concept of facts or logic. Any impression that it does is just an illusion borne of the word probabilities baked in.

LLMs are a remarkable example of brute-forcing a solution to a problem, but it’s this same brute force that makes me doubt it’ll ever reach the next level.

The US are just a bad parody of themselves at this point.

Everyone loves Bernie.

But dang it the man is 83. He should be enjoying the last years of his life in retirement. It makes me sad to think he still needs to be working in politics.

He’s as old as Trump, who is already too old for this shit, will be at the end of his term.

Maybe there should be a hard limit at 65 or something for politicians. Both to keep out people in whom dementia is clearly starting to appear and to let old people frickin’ rest.

Remembering that show frustrates me. How did they start with such a hilarious premise and end up with a show that’s okay and not one milligram more?

I’m a front-end developer. I sometimes need to solve algebra problems. I’m pretty bad at it because I , but my knowledge that a problem is solvable by math comes in handy maybe once or twice a month. It’s just that on the few occasions that there’s algebra that I can’t figure out how to solve (maybe once a year), I may ask for help from a colleague.

Examples of cases where math comes in handy:

• Pythagoras when I need to figure out the x/y components of a diagonal distance
• Width/height calculations from a variety of parameters

In summary, as long as you know what math is capable of, you probably won’t have major issues. There will pretty much always be someone around to help with the math part if necessary.

As for calculus… I forgot all about the one calculus class I’ve taken and I’ve never suffered for it.

Oh god. I was so focused on Trump I forgot this dimwit came with him as a package deal.

I didn’t say they were perfect. They just seem less bad. At things stand, lethal injections simply do no go well as a standard.

And on top of that.

If you must have the death penalty (and really I’d challenge that but for the sake of argument let’s say they must).

Then injections are one of the worst ways you can do it. Hanging and beheading are much more humane ways to end someone’s life.

I hope people don’t get pulled over for gaming a navigation app and a phone mount on their handlebars. That would suck.

The kind whose parents watch media that demonizes the Democrats.

Oh, I meant spermicide creams in place of condoms.

I didn’t know about the spermicide condoms at all.

For real? Amazing. I need to follow the local news more, sheesh.
