The people who live in Houston seem to think it’s as good as Chicago, I’d disagree with them but at least there are good restaurants. Also from a population standpoint, Houston is basically the same size as Chicago so it invites comparison in one regard.

Yes, “escaped containment” on a system with an internet connection. I wonder what Hugging Face thinks about a partner targeting them indiscriminately.

It would be a lot cheaper and easier to just stop burning fossil fuels. We could just take the money for this and invest in renewables.

I do like the idea of using a less expensive solution with less plastic. Maybe I’ll look into it again.

I manage to slice my face occasionally with cartridge razors, I fear what I’d do to myself with a safety razor.

I have two females, 14 and 4, and the older female tried to passive-aggressively groom the younger one into moving out of the spot she wanted but the younger one was like ‘jokes on you, I’m into this’ and now she constantly bugs the older one to groom her face. This has gone on so long they defaulted to being best friends, even if the old lady is a bit of a curmudgeon.

Have I been confused this when time? If I get invited to have tea am I being invited to a meal? I thought it was like getting coffee.

Seriously Pierre is only marginally better than the faceless mega corp trying to put him out of business.

Just to be clear a collapsing AMOC is projected to slow the gulf stream but not stop it.

It’s still very very bad though.

That’s why the increase in gathered telemetry correlates with a decrease in updates that break things.

I think ties have fallen out of fashion. At least in business dress. Button up shirt, nice slacks and a sport coat, all tailored. You have to specify black tie if you want people in fancy dress.

The resident Canada geese in my neighborhood are pretty chill. The only time I got lip was when I went out the back door and there was a goose, a gander and a gosling right there within a few feet. I received an angry honk as they shooed their gosling away from the stupid ape.

I like Fudge dice, but understand if people want higher variance than that. I do like that characters tend to succeed at things they are good at (but not always) and fail at things they are bad at (but not always). Some people liken this to diceless, but my experience is that it’s just enough variance to keep you on your toes and add drama.

The variance on a single d20 is miserable after playing games with better probability curves.

Thiel for sure thinks he’s John Galt.

Fruit loops.

I’ll see myself out.

They were originally developed as translation software, after all.

Ben’s heart is in the right place. But he is an idiot.

I know he doesn’t bill himself as a journalist, but I was taught to not make someone else’s story about yourself. Once he inserted himself into the mix and started doing antics he crossed a line, imo, and his legal troubles got magnified and he arguably made the legal issues for the Mansell’s worse.

The video where AFPD is fucking with him and he gets arrested and then talks to the detective instead of lawyering up immediately had me shouting at the screen. Don’t talk to the cops, people. Never talk to the cops, jfc.

I know lawyers are unpopular and expensive, but this is actually a case that needed them.

So they knew it was there and decided not to send it to the market where it would be possibly illegal. This is pretty brazen and I cannot imagine what they are thinking would come from this that would make the reputational impact worthwhile.

I love how all their proposed solutions are similarly disconnected from reality. Like “Let’s just give the poors a big break on income taxes”. Income taxes on lower-income families are already low, plus if nobody has a job in the AI dystopia then what do income taxes matter?
