Yeah, I really have no particular interest in taking my birthday off.

So what they actually did was basically flawless from start to finish.

But give me 100 more episodes of the Good Place anyways.

I love his work and bought physical copies of all of Stormlight, Mistborn, and just a couple days ago the pretty “premium” hardcovers for the secret projects, just to have on my shelves.

My one thing is that his introductions are almost always slower than I’d like. Though ironically he did better in the Wax and Wayne Mistborn arc and I like the Vin arc more.

Right now I’m way down a Brandon Sanderson rabbit hole, so I guess the Cosmere? I’d say Stormlight Archive, but Mistborn is really cool because they’re set at the inflection points in the planet’s history. The first arc is excellent, and it changes the world. The second arc is set in the future, with mythologies based on the first arc and scientific progress based on secrets uncovered in the first. The changes in the use of magic are really cool. There’s a third arc planned to be set in the future from there.

But the Cosmere as a whole shares some core concepts and characters can move across it, and that comes into other standalone works like (3 of 4) secret projects and a bunch of other stuff.

The crazy part is the “stripped down” was still relatively modest. She was in underwear and bra, but they covered a hell of a lot more than most people wear to the beach in a lot of the world.

They could have always supported software for that long. They simply refused to.

There is no benefit to slowing the release cycle. All of the research gets done either way, all of the supply chain modifications get made either way, and as an individual you have no need to replace your phone every year. A multi-year release cycle does very little but screw over people who need a new phone during the wrong point in the release cycle, while also substantially complicating the supply chains by making demand much spikier.

Facial recognition works better on white people because, mathematically, they provide more information in real world camera use cases.

Darker skin reflects less light and dark contrast is much more difficult for cameras to capture unless you have significantly higher end equipment.

Teach them how to evaluate sources on the internet.

Seriously, all the hardware/OS whatever is cool, but if you want to really make a difference that will affect everyone, teach them how to find information, how to evaluate it, and how to use internet reference material.

They should be doing the exact opposite and making it incredibly difficult not to open source it. Major platforms open sourcing much of their systems is basically the only good part of the AI space.

But in a separate Fortune editorial from earlier this month, Stanford computer science professor and AI expert Fei-Fei Liargued that the “well-meaning” legislation will “have significant unintended consequences, not just for California but for the entire country.”

The bill’s imposition of liability for the original developer of any modified model will “force developers to pull back and act defensively,” Li argued. This will limit the open-source sharing of AI weights and models, which will have a significant impact on academic research, she wrote.

Holy shit this is a fucking terrible idea.

once you play for a while your brain stops thinking about the framerate.

Mine doesn’t. It feels like I’m fighting through sand the whole game.

I think OS is fine.

Making specs public is a privacy issue.

Humping someone’s face isn’t speech.

It’s sexual assault.

They’re doing the equivalent of buying twitter followers. The goal is simply to make more people make accounts so they can mislead developers into thinking their market has customers who will buy their game there.

“You can only buy this game in some big bundle you don’t want” is absolutely not “a good way”.

There is no market confusion. But if you want to play make believe that there is, rename the old one “2011 Sonic Generations” so it’s more obvious. (Obvious you won’t, because the goal is to pretend a slightly modified re-listing is a new game worth new game prices, but de-listing a game is almost always exploitive one way or another.)

I’d be interested in the form factor with like a raspberry pi in there.

Less powerful than that seems like a waste.

Gimp’s UX is a trainwreck. “Approachable tools” is the key bit there.

I don’t use photoshop. Fuck subscription horseshit. I use affinity. But Gimp having capability is fine, but it has a super high barrier to entry because the design is so bad.

Because your suggestions are all completely deluded.

They’re not better. For pretty much anyone.

He doesn’t want to leave that situation for a nightmare shitshow of a downgraded situation.
