It's possible the idea that they ran a "not Trump" campaign is true enough, and that was part of the failure vs. being more to the left or vocal or any number of other things suggested. But the very fact that "not Trump" made people not show up and throw the election to him, or worse vote FOR him, says a lot about the state of the country.

I get it, people are hurting economically and somehow get blinded into promises that magic will happen. But Trump? Anyone voting this time around was around when he was in office the first time...are we that short memory? Yeah, we apparently are...repeating the same thing over and over expecting different results. And that can be applied to both sides, but one of them was the same guy.

They're called large language models for a reason, creating patterns of words is exactly what they do. And poetry would be "easier" to do better since a human reading it may try to find meaning where there isn't. Unlike writing a story or something factual where a mistake is more obvious.

Try Wiby

There's other types of "small web" out there too.

That was my guess, I can't get the page to load due to an error. Maybe AI's fault too?

I believe it means existing links, which many are already gone. Not the ability to link.

At some point this might become part of the software, but for now it has to be an external filter. Some apps as mentioned, and when Kbin was starting off some users got together to create addons for it, some that would actively filter with varying success. The idea is simple, making it work well is not. There also might be addons for browsers that can help filter things, but they would need to be set up to find certain properties of the message code that are around that keyword and remove them selectively to filter cleanly.

You didn't mention long or short hair. I've always had short hair and while the hair problem exists especially if you don't keep up with it, it's not terrible. Brushing them regularly will catch the problem at the source and maybe reduce the shedding amount overall.

I saw a discussion once about how difficult the idea of an accurate progress bar really is. Note how so many things now take the easier approach of a circular or other shape that shows activity without being tied to any particular time prediction. My preference is a combo progress bar with actual throughput numbers/graph, so you can tell if there's really progress or some bottleneck that will make it longer.

Instant gratification culture. Got to have things faster and faster.

Current AI/LLMs are just very complex probability matching with some frills to make it work. Our brains may be something like that too, as chemical and electrical signals can be reduced to math. It's all math.

What you described before is pathing, and that can be a simple routine or very complicated and breakable, depending on the needs of the game. The really sophisticated ones would even chart the player's behavior and react or plan a path based on past actions (even on some C-64 games, which is impressive). There was one karate game where (subjectively and not well tested) if you let it run the opening demo or played it a while, the game's character got better. And it wasn't just a higher level thing, you could tell (again, just a feeling) that it started to anticipate your usual moves.

“the term carbon pollution is outrageous” because all life depended on carbon dioxide.

All life depends on water too. Here, let me hold your head under water for five minutes and show you.

 

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
