I never thought of it that way.

battle snare drum to a montage of buying Super Soakers, ending with a one-liner to camera…

…It’s time to get some pussies wet… and witches. But mainly the pussies because the aliens. Damn it, I ruined the one-liner.

I’ll remember to call the police every time it rains.

No, no. Let’s pat them on the back for drawing a line in the samd—all by their own initiative—and sticking to it. We all know how hard it is to develop a game with offline mode these days. I salute them for sticking to their promise.

I’m glad they’re testing too. It must be so hard to figure out how to overcome IP checks to launch a game and have it run. True heroes of the industry. No doubt we’ll see indie games follow with offline options too.

Episodes 1, 2, 3 I watched older and kinda had the same realisation.

On one side, you’ve got an Empire that brought peace, thriving economies, and a democratic government where everyone’s heard. But their morals are awful.

On the other side you’ve got people all for freedom, but take children, forbid them of family and sex, make them religious radicals, and support terrorists that have no real plans.

These options are shit and shittier, and people kill over them because they’ve drunk the kool-aid of one of them. It reminds me of current society. I like to think Luke’s inexplicable hermit life was because of that realisation.

Personally, I’d side with the Empire. But it’s not like I’d be happy about it. Just assume over generations it gets better, lest they lose control and that’s all they want.

But take the pros from both and you got Han. What a loveable character. Flaws are natural, not intentional. Vote Han.

Everyone here balancing the ethics of getting wet like it’s assault.

Water melts snowflakes and wicked witches, everyone else need not worry.

All living things should be used to being wet either all the time or somewhat regularly. To think beyond that, wow, society has its teeth in you and you are lost.

Oh, I will. I’m getting along in years and am about to pick up split boarding for backcountry. I could learn to just ski, but I’ve lived life surfing and skating, so I picked up snowboarding real fast and been doing that a while now.

Kinda always been into the idea of towing with a snow mobile too, so maybe I can afford that around then haha

Don’t act your age. Get to a point where you’re so dismissive of your age you have to think hard about what your age actually is.

If I stopped and started doing things based on what I’m meant to do at an age, I’d be a miserable piece of shit. I just do and think what I want. When I’m 60, I’ll still be learning and doing what I want because I rejected the idea that I’m too old or too young for something.

Rather than setting sights on what you want to achieve, set sights on what you never want to become. The rest just flows around that and happiness is always there because you’ve identified what unhappiness is and stayed clear of it.

Out of calories.

I just watched Buckaroo Bonzai having heard nothing about it. Fucking brilliant movie. I need to watch it again now that I know what I’m in for

We can, but it’s a lot of effort and time. Good AI requires a lot of patience and specificity.

I’ve sort of accepted the gimmick of LLMs being a bit of a plateau in training. It has always been that we teach AI to learn, but currently the public has been exposed to what they perceive to be magic and that’s “good enough”. Like, being wrong so often due to bad information, bad interpretation of information, and bias within information is acceptable now, apparently. So teaching to learn isn’t a high mainstream priority compared to throwing in mass information instead—it’s far less exciting working on infrastructure.

But here’s the cool thing about AI, it’s pretty fucking easy to learn. If you have patience and creativity to put toward training, you can do what you want. Give it a crack! But always be working on refining it. I’m sure out there right now someone’s been inspired enough to do what you’re talking about and in a few years of tears and insane electricity bills, there’ll be a viable model.

Yeah, get too far in or give it too much to start with, it can’t handle it. You can see this with visual generators. “Where’s the lollypop in its hand? Try again… Okay now you forgot about the top hat.”

Have to treat them like simple interns that will do anything to please rather than admit the task is too complex or they’ve forgotten what they were meant to do.

I use Claude for SQL and PowerQuery whenever I brain fart.

There’s more usefulness in reading its explanation than its code, though. It’s like bouncing ideas back off someone except you’re the one that can actually code them. Never bother copying it’s code unless it’s a really basic request that’s quicker to type than to code.

Bad quality and mass quantity in is obviously much quicker for LLMs and people that don’t understand the tech behind AI don’t understand this actually what’s going on, so it’s “magic”. A GPT is fundamentally quite simple and produces simple results full of potential issues, combine that with poor training quality and “gross”. There’s minimal check iterations it can do and how would it even do them when it’s knowledge base is more bullshit than it is quality?

Truth is it will be years before AI can reliably code. Training for that requires building a large knowledge base of refined working solutions covering many scenarios, with explanation, to train off. It’d take longer for AI to self-learn these too without significant input from the trainer.

Right now you can prompt the same thing six times and hope it manages a valid solution in one. Or just code it yourself.

I’ve realised it’s because as people grow older, they form deeper personalities and opinions. The chances of talking to someone you don’t want to are much higher than when you were young and peers were much less complex. It’s natural to not want to bother sifting through society as it diverges and scatters with age. Meeting someone you really connect with is much less likely.

-ar is a person that does a thing. -er is a person that does action of a thing. A winkar in practice is a winker, but a winker isn’t necessarily a winkar.

But a winkee is definitely someone subjected to a wink, whether by a winkar or a just a normal person winking.

Yeah, but Paul kind of ruined Greece via Thessaloniki and Korinthos. Granted, the social hierarchy around the old gods backed by “the one true God for all” Christian narrative sure made it easy to turn common Greeks against their ancient culture and religion.

And they’ve been doing great ever since! cough, cough

Jaba the titty fucking kek. Rolls well

Jesus titty fucking Christ can be any name you want.

On Reddit, I once bragged about having universal healthcare and got called a Nazi and a communist at the same time.

This is what happens when Xbox kids that use the n-word grow up. They learn new “bad” words and throw them around out of context and contradictingly. They don’t actually know what those things are, though, so it never makes sense.

I’ve been called a tankie here. I didn’t know what it was and looked it up, just to discover it was the literal opposite of the things I was saying. I was very confused and just put it down to frustrated self-projection. At some point they had been called that, it upset them, so now they use it to upset people too but they still don’t actually know what it is they’re saying.

If I see someone defaulting to Russian bot or tankie, I’ve found another Xbox kid and it’s in my best interests to just move on.

Right? “Winning” what exactly? Reid Hoffman’s trying to be the best at being the most miserable and unfulfilled. The most regrets on his death bed.

Yo, bro, stop being so very combative. That’s like, extremely subjective. You don’t have good intentions. I’m better than you- what? I didn’t say that.
