Training and deployment needs to be top of the line, and top of the line is always increasingly more and more expensive. And new and better chips do get more energy efficient, but only when they become better by size improvements at transistor level. Other improvements are done at design level...

I'm in the middle of one break. Not as a result of conscious choice, but rather I don't have the steady and stable schedule to support a social activity. I could go pay for a spot in an online table tomorrow or just DM an open game and have players in a minute, but without a predictable...

They could just do the change of lights? No need to do a dangerous maneuver to get me to move?

Not answering the poll as I'm not playing any game right now. I'd love to play OG 5e, 3.5, 2e, or 4e.

Still holding up for the 20 minutes workweek that the Fraggles promised.

You need Paris.

My puppy would turn down the sheets at night when he wanted to sleep. He didn't sleep under the sheets, but he associated the act of turning down the bed with the time to sleep.

To me the "Bond is a codename" works very well. I think I have some other examples, but can't remember them at the time.

Weeeell, I refuse to sign up for it. Maybe the paid version or at least the one keeoing track of personal data could do better. What I found it useful for was for desassembling machine language in data statements of Basic programs in old books for old microcomputers.

I don't really remember all of them. I however remember something else that is more recent. I asked it: Add x to this list It adds it with mistakes. Me: y is missing, add it back. It adds it except in one case. It also pollutes the list by marking every time it made a correction. Me: it is...

Monkeys and crows can count to four. Maybe cats too?

Commercial art isn't random. It is a process where every step is carefully crafted before proceeding into more time consuming parts of the process. The end result is never a surprise and corrections happen mostly at the early stages when they are easier to correct. The only bad surprises happen...

Not that good, for certain purposes I needed to use a certain long text which was impractical, but I needed to avoid synthetic text. I used Chatgpt to select key sentences. It wasn't that good at it. The selection was kind of random. I ended up removing some of the selection and reinstating a...

I'm faced with more and more "checking you aren't a bot" messages when loading websites. Many sites are implementing these, I asume to prevent crawling. Specially ones that don't particularly handle critical information. Sadly keeping AI scraping bots awaay will also prevent bots from the...

Why not just have wikipedia as a search engine on yout phone?

The thing is, they started firing people the moment they signed up for these services. Even if in the end everything rebounds and people get hired again, that doesn't change the human cost of lots of people losing their jobs in the middle of a huge hiring freeze and the high stress from an...

Ahh, see that yellow thing over the trompo?

Some interesting historical notes. Devas and Asuras started both as more neutral entities. We know this because in Iranian traditional religion/mythology the roles inverted. The devas are the equivalent to demons while the good deity is Ahura Masda.

IMO, minidolls are better than minifigs. Lego should retire them. Start over all themes with minidolls.

I wish there was a physical media collection with all of the "non canon" Simpsons episodes. With all "canon" framing devices removed whenever possible. Basically, this collection would highlight that at this point, these characters are more like a troupe without a set story. Heck, I wish they...
