Have you seen the average griefer or troll in any multiplayer game?

I distinctly remember that being a selling point of his first campaign.

He was advertised as a Washington outsider, who had no connections and would drain the swamp.

A summary is useless if it’s not accurate.

The problem is that they get golden parachutes while the engineer and dozens or hundreds of his peers who has invested years into a “good, established company” gets shafted due to lay offs.

It’s YouTube, there is no line, just a vague squiggle that you can cross without any warning.

Obviously for the local petting zoo

Plus, mammoth burgers

We’re still trying to get people to quit smoking.

If phones killed you, we’d all just have to die

You mean: when an X user finds themselves unable to load the main page, they’ll get frustrated, uninstall the app and leave a review about how it’s broken.

You grossly overestimate the tech savvyness of your average internet user, and their willingness to spend any amount of time or money to fix a minor inconvenience.

Considering how thin the control arms are for such a heavy vehicle, I think we’re gonna see a lot of 3 wheeled cyber trucks in the next 6 months.

I love around Chicago.

Can’t wait to see what all the salt on the streets does to these things over the winter.

I’m just amazed it wasn’t a dancer in spandex again

Because companies have been promising tidal power for decades and it never works because the tide is really strong and full of animals, plants, and garbage that really shouldn’t be around large moving machinery.

So this is the alternative

His favorite food is McDonald’s and over cooked steaks.

Are there any Latin American countries with non extradition treaties that also have McDonald’s?

That’s where he’s gonna go.

GRRM gave the showrunners his notes on the last two books.

Now he famously doesn’t do traditional storyboards, he’s a very organic kind of author. He makes a character in his head, puts them in a situation, and just writes what they would do, and everything flows from there. But, every story does have to have a beginning, middle, and end. So the major plot points have to be written down somewhere.

You know how Jon turned into an NPC who just kept repeating that he didn’t want the throne, pretty sure that’s a major plot point that was in the notes. The note was probably “Jon doesn’t want the throne” so that’s all the dialogue the writers gave him.

There is a decent chance that season 8 was a beat for beat execution of George’s notes, white walkers invade, Jon unites the north and with Dani and they defeat them, march on kings landing, Dany descends into madness and burns down capitol, story over.

If that’s really how it’s ultimately going to pan out, I can see GRRM not wanting to release it after seeing how fans disliked the ending. I think fans disliked the execution of the ending more, but I can also see how disheartening it would be to get a glimpse of how people would react to the ending of a story you’ve been writing for almost 30 years, and finding out that it’s almost unanimously hated.

Yeah but his only advice is to harvest the blood of your children to prevent aging.

Stock market advice? Invest in blood transfusions

Dating advice? Blood transfusions make you look young and sexy

High cholesterol? More blood

Low potassium? More blood

Too much blood? Weirdly enough, also blood transfusion.

No

I don’t ask for articles about German politics to specifically say it’s about Germany, usually the German gives that away.

Your inability to pick up on context clues does not entitle you to compensation by everyone else.

Never been in a car with such a feature, as it seems inherently dangerous to me.

Every car I’ve been in, when you accidentally disengage the cruise, you just hit cruise again and it re-engages at whatever speed you slowed down to, then you adjust back to what you want.

Having the car suddenly accelerate without deliberate input just doesn’t seem wise.

According to the article there is a “resume” button for the cruise control.

No idea because I don’t own one of these, but if it’s true that’s insane.

I’ve driven a lot of cars from a lot of different manufacturers, and have never encountered a resume button that works how the article describes, where it will accelerate you to whatever the last cruise control speed was.

To add to this, we’re going to run into the problem of garbage in, garbage out.

LLMs are trained on text from the internet.

Currently, a massive amount of text on the internet is coming from LLMs.

This creates a cycle of models getting trained on data sets that increasingly contain large sets of data generated by older models.

The most likely outlook is that LLMs will get worse as the years go by, not better.

TFG = That Fucking Git?
