Fetterman wore the costume of a populist. Platner walks the walk of of a populist.

Fetterman won because he wasn’t doctor Oz.

It’s there any Nazi ideology you can quote? Or are we still talking about a covered up tattoo?

Not everything is about you.

I had that Crash Test Dummies game on the Game Boy. I don’t think I knew there was a Game Gear version. I need to check that out.

I traded in my Miata for a 2017 Bolt last year and I love the stupid little thing. By American standards it’s a small car, but it has a good deal of space inside. But I’ll also say that it’s small enough that it’s fun to take downtown where parking gets hairy.

So, if you haven’t tried one yet, I’d recommend at least giving the Bolt a shot.

If your average daily drive is 40 miles or less you can use a regular wall outlet to charge an EV.

Any more than that and you’ll need a bigger home charger, but you can still charge at home where it’s cheap unless you’re driving over 100 miles or so every day.

As sharp as a bowling ball.

People in Congress are so alien. Staying in office until they literally die of old age.

If I had months to live I wouldn’t be working.

I hate how these kinds of things are always framed. The implied message is always that “AI” can autonomously decide to go of the rails. Similar to the Moltbot craze. The agents have to be told to go do the things they do. They don’t have free will.

Using a combination of network science and large language models, the same underlying technology that powers systems like ChatGPT, the researchers created and monitored synthetic bot agent personas, their posts, and their interactions with one another, simulating what a coordinated AI-powered social media network might look like.

So yeah, LLMs can used nefariously to great effect. They’re essentially more sophisticated bots.

Well, and there’s this ideology in this country that if you’re wealthy, it’s because to deserve to be because you’re a good person.

The flip side of that is the cops see the poor as generally up to no good.

My wife and I yelled at the same time when that ad played. Insanely dystopian.

It doesn’t. The knife is actually really, really cool. I’d heard about it a few months ago and if I had the disposable cash, I’d by one.

Machine learning is not viable for anything other than simpler 2d games or small segments of more complex games. The training required to get good results on that is intense already.

Also, this isn’t possible with current or even next gen tech, unless they literally script the “AI” responses to all available situations which would be infeasible.

LLMs can’t reason or handle complex situations. They are text auto complete programs or image generation programs.

AI isn’t the only thing you can use a computer for now. If you ignore AI and corporate software, there’s loads of mind expanding activities in computing.

Take a look at what you can self host with commodity hardware (barring the insane RAM prices right now).

It was 12 days and the first time I’ve ever finished it.

This is one of the coolest things about Universal Blue OSs like Bazzite. You can very easily roll your own custom OS based off of one of their images. And it’s all automated.

I feel like that’s the best of both worlds. Extreme customizability and standardization.

Need For Speed: Modern Warfare?

Give me a new Mega Man X, please.

Steam has a lot more demos these days than it used to, and it’s great. I do not like buying, trying, and refunding games. But demos? Hell yeah. I’ll try those on a whim.
