I would pay a lot of money to see a journalist ask JD Vance if he approves of his mother-in-law’s work in promoting DEI.
Why do we care what Randi’s think about their mother in law’s? It’s not like this Vance guy is important or anything.
Desperate attempt from Vance to appear relevant, with the vain hope that there were enough people in Greenland stupid enough to support their bullshit (or desperate enough to be bribed) that they could lie about how much support they have.
Reminder that anyone can get some handcuffs and claim to be the police.
If you see someone bring abducted it is your responsibility to interfere.
As someone who played Fallout 2 as a teen it’s not your age, the first 2 have a lot of little things that end up having a big effect, and they are difficult. They do not pull their punches and will happily smack you around.
I restarted Fallout 2 many times when I was first playing it trying to figure out a build I liked.
Trump calling this “Domestic Terrorism” and threatening Tariffs in response in 3… 2…
Like, I expected that behind closed doors they all call it nonsense
No, they are actually stupid enough to believe the shit they are saying.
Did the LLMs tell you that? It’s not hard to look up on your own:
Data centers, in particular, are responsible for an estimated 2% of electricity use in the U.S., consuming up to 50 times more energy than an average commercial building, and that number is only trending up as increasingly popular large language models (LLMs) become connected to data centers and eat up huge amounts of data. Based on current datacenter investment trends,LLMs could emit the equivalent of five billion U.S. cross-country flights in one year.
Far more than straightforward search engines that have the exact same information and don’t make shit up half the time.
Because we have better methods that are easier, cheaper, and less damaging to the environment. They are solving nothing and wasting a fuckton of resources to do so.
It’s like telling cavemen they don’t need fire because you can mount an expedition to the nearest valcanoe to cook food without the need for fuel then bring it back to them.
The best case scenario is the LLM tells you information that is already available on the internet, but 50% of the time it just makes shit up.
Because it’s not AI, it’s LLMs, and all LLMs do is guess what word most likely comes next in a sentence. That’s why they are terrible at answering questions and do things like suggest adding glue to the cheese on your pizza because somewhere in the training data some idiot said that.
The training data for LLMs come from the internet, and the internet is full of idiots.
I’m on the fence about which is better. Portal 2 is an improvement, but also has its flaws.
Part of the reason I would argue Portal 1 was better is because it was so unexpected. I went in expecting “interesting puzzle game” which it is, but I did not expect to also get “excellent humor with strange horror vibes and incredibly good personality.”
If someone didn’t know what a Glados was I think the first one is better. I also recognize that many people who have never played Portal are well aware of Glados.
Ender Lilies
It’s a mechanically strong Metroidvania with branching paths, hidden areas, and exploration, but what I love about it is the atmosphere and the juxtapositions is uses.
It is a crumbling decaying kingdom full of monstrosities, and the main character is an innocent little girl in a pure white dress. Lily does not attack, some of the monsters she is able to purify to restore their mind at which point they help her. So when you attack a monster appears to do the attack animation, while lily cowers a bit behind it.
One thing I love is when you are in a boss fight and shit is going down hard, the sound track is extremely chill piano music. The soft and beautiful contrasts against the harshness of the situation is a very compelling way.
The sequel Ender Magnolias is good as well. Mechanically there are some improvements, but I don’t feel like the atmosphere or world building is as good. That may be because I played Lilies and was used to it. If your haven’t played either I’d suggest starting with Lilies, and if you like Magnolias is worth your time.
The spokesperson did not answer questions about the frequency of ads or what cars were covered by the SiriusXM contract.
A spokesperson saying “we are looking into this” doesn’t actually mean it was never intended or that it has stopped.
This was most likely a bug and it probably has been fixed since
You have a source for any of your assumptions?
Nah, need to leave room to escalate in case Trump thinks he’s in a position to retaliate.
“These sky high Tariffs are part of Canada’s unfair, long-standing policy to shield domestic producers from foreign competition, especially in Agriculture,”
That’s exactly what tariffs are for, yes. What did you think they were for?
Okay, so start boycotting Amazon now and don’t stop.
No need. I’m seeding 24/7 raw dogging my connection and don’t hear a peep from my ISP.
It already basically is; Anti-piracy laws in Canada don’t have a lot of teeth. I leave my torrent computer running 24 hours a day to seed and I don’t even get emails anymore after switching to a smaller service provider.
Baby learned a new word and it’s eager to show it off.
And they might decide on a whim that the contract is no longer valid for reasons made up yesterday.
Doesn’t matter how much money the contract promises you if you can’t know if it’s going to be honoured.
