I guess if it over-performs you could always return it as defective.

ELI5: "Up to 100" means "<=100". So 0% still falls in that range. Could even be negative (counter-productive).

It seems like at some point movie and tv motivations pivoted from "i've got an awesome idea/story/twist to try" to something more like... "we've got to do something and we haven't tried this in a while".

Sometimes i wonder if it's worthwhile to have an obscure os for your hypervisors just in case the worst exploit happens, maybe it will give the hackers a serious 'wtf' moment and impede there efforts soley on them not knowing how to use it, or not having binaries ready to go. Partly from professional experience as we had a server hack detected bc they used the wrong architecture in their foothold, which is a similar idea.

Maybe I miscommunicated, because I was not trying to imply that anything did not exist.

As long as it doesn't move, and i don't have to eat it... respect!

Cities grow, so I imagine the first few were actually gates from the old city wall, and the triumphal entry became a ceremonial simulacra of itself. Maybe on powerful/respected general was like: don't tear down that gate, the memories of that time i defeated...

Such a long counterweight!

So instead of keeping a phone roughly the size of a pocket in your pocket, they expect us to want to put "bricks" in our pockets that unfold into phones.

 

I know managers love that term, but I think I've come to hear it as an insult... Sorta like being called an unprofessional "jack of all trades" budget handyman that does everything mediocre...

 

without you ever knowing about it, as well as (perhaps) swapping in a cheaper-to-operate model some percentage of the time, perhaps as request loads peak, hoping you'll just roll the dice and try again.

 
 

This is my attempt to recreate an image from one of my friends who is an artist. After generating the image, I modified it in gimp to better capture the feel of the original artwork.

dall-e 3 prompt: A pale human figure abstraction sits atop one of the floating islands hugging his knees facing right. The islands have round tops, crumbling dirt below, green grass on the top, and they float in a spacial void of black, blue, and purple. Some of the other floating islands are also flat-topped with grass, but some are just lifeless asteroids. There are no planets and no sun.

 

dall-e 3; prompt: "The Linux computer system that every nerd can only dream of owning."

dall-e v3. Prompt: 'Photorealistic. Walking off the edge of the world.'

 

dall-e 3; prompt: "Photorealistic. A futuristic alien stands before you holding a spear-like weapon in a non-threatening manner."

 

Workflow: I asked gpt-3.5 to describe in meticulous visual detail a single panel from "BLAME!" where Killy is firing his gravitational beam emitter (GBE) in only one paragraph. I think I used the phrase "as if to a blind person" because it kept wanting to give me a narrative. I then handed that paragraph to dall-e-3 and got this image.

 

dall-e 2; prompt: A homeless cyberpunk is scavanging parts from his pile of broken robots. A futuristic male police officer walks past him disinterested.

 

dall-e 3; prompt: Inside a parking garage where many of the slots have been converted into permanent dwellings, even alongside the vehicle ramps.
