No, that’s also a measure of size used primarily for those big fords with the tiny beds.

Rhyming slang isn’t really supposed to be funny, rather obfuscatory. It’s almost like a cipher, so that anyone not in the know doesn’t understand. That’s a theory, anyway.

Yeah the UK government is largely pro vaping as a way to stop smoking, but thankfully very anti disposables and marketing to children. I don’t have much good to say about our government, but I’m with them on this.

I don’t think that making a selfish in game decision means the player is selfish. You might just be curious about how the story pans out. Maybe you want to do it both ways. I’ve played thieves and murderers in RPGs, I’ve lied and cheated my way out of situations, I’ve blown up Megaton… But these don’t really reflect my real self. I’ve often done the opposite, too.

It really seems like not only can’t they be touched, but everyone else is also so jaded by the situation that no one is even fucking trying.

This one was wild:

In an example they uncovered, a speaker said, “He, the boy, was going to, I’m not sure exactly, take the umbrella.”

But the transcription software added: “He took a big piece of a cross, a teeny, small piece … I’m sure he didn’t have a terror knife so he killed a number of people.”

From picking up and object to mass murder lmao. Not even close!

You get paid for four days what you used to get paid for five.

Yes I suppose that’s true.

Sure, if you live somewhere with parasitic worms you should take extra care. Still, you aren’t cleaning bacteria off anything with water.

Fair enough. Personally I find the motion sickness mostly down to the game rather than headset, I didn’t know that the frame rate had an effect!

This is not the gender euphoria I’m looking for

You don’t need anything like that much for a Quest 2/3. Quest 2 is obviously a bit outdated, but I still have fun with mine.

When you rinse salad with water you are not cleaning a significant amount of bacteria off it. You’re getting soil and bugs.

Unless your salad is contaminated with something, not washing it will at worst be gritty and unpleasant. It won’t make you ill. If it does, washing it will make no difference.

Oof, suggesting that the “absurdity” of the Bush administration would never be topped didn’t age well

Oh yeah, I’m talking about calling the LLM with code, not using the LLM to help write the code. They still suck at providing anything reliant on factual accuracy. What they are very good at is extracting meaning from text, e.g. taking a user’s natural language request and deciding what to do with it from a set of options.

This headline certainly seems sensational, but I’ve also started seeing some really nice uses of LLMs cropping up. Some of the newer API features make them a lot more practical for development of things other than simple chat bots. It remains to be seen if the value delivered is worth the energy/data costs long term, but LLMs in general seems to be finding their feet in some ways.

If we ever see AR or implants overtake touch screens (unlikely imo because typing in AR fucking sucks) then I hope flips come back just for the talking part.

Ah, I miss flip phones. If I wasn’t totally hooked on my little screen box I would go back.

I have a colour one, I think the white is pretty white tbh? Or, I mean, it looks like paper. Off-white like a book.

I made a robot which is delighted about the idea of overthrowing capitalism and will enthusiastically explain how to take down your government.
