The only thing I’m sad about, because I don’t really have much use for the deck or the machine. The Frame looked like a great VR device though, some really nice little considerate details in the design.

Oh yeah, I definitely know the difference between social anxiety and introversion. Social anxiety is when it’s intensely uncomfortable to even talk to my dad, or my partner. Introversion is being capable of having a nice day all on my own, but still being totally up for hanging out with friends, as long as I get time alone often enough in between.

Ironically I even like sporting events if me and my friends are actually there in the stadium. The feel of the crowd is magical. But that’s not really about the sport

There’s trees older than that.

It’s a similar experience being an introvert who isn’t into sports in Australia.

It’s fun when I just try to compile it again and it works fine. I’m sure that’s a good sign.

As in “Jesus, it’s costing how much??!!?”

Well, it’s a good thing China doesn’t make cheap LLMs that you can run on local hardware…

It can get worse.

You could watch them post the text into a notepad doc that they keep open, which has all the stuff they copied and pasted before, then copy the WRONG TEXT back into the target document.

Well, ok, what works better than targets? Gotta measure how you’re going somehow.

Edit: btw, all those factors I mentioned are indeed political reasons.

It’s not that it’s arbitrary, although it is. It’s more an admission that we could do far more, but choose not to spend the resources necessary, or the political capital to tackle the police and community culture (both interact to produce this situation even when the cops have the power).

He probably chose it for motivational reasons. It’s a nice round number and it sells well in print or on TV, and you can shorthand it easily for stakeholders who will largely be either hostile to the basic idea or suspicious of your motives.

Fair enough. I believe it’s ducks. Ducks with ambition.

Thx mate. Deleted the clone. Or did I??!?!?

The woman’s mind is broken. She’s a cult victim. If she’s not actively harming OP, why would being cruel help now? She’s already killed her husband, in her mind. She’s fucked already.

Shark repellent.

Technically correct! Just leaving out a few details.

I hate having a pint overflow error. It goes everywhere, and then you have no pint.

Yeah? Perfectly normal unit.

Perhaps this is why the world is like this now.

Second novel just came out, I read it last week.
