  • Praying for winning sports events has always been the funniest to me. Just the idea that an omnipotent being a) cares about the outcome of a passtime, b) would use their power to affect the outcome while many suffer or die from random events they didn't deserve, and c) does so at the expense of all the players and supporters of the other team. It's just so audacious to pray for something so trivial.

  • I don't think that's a special feature these days. My Linux desktop has a suspend shut down mode and though I usually close down whatever I'm playing, I believe there have been a few times where I've forgotten that I had a game still running minimized but it resumed fine and the game was still running fine.

  • The funny thing is, those power bricks you plug into the AC outlet convert that back to DC and various voltages (including 12v).

    I've wondered for a while if we'll start seeing more DC input electronics designed for setups like yours because there's efficiency losses for both the DC -> AC step and the AC -> DC step.

  • Lol they haven't moved on to C+++ yet and probably have no idea what a super pointer is.

  • It was a NASCAR event, not a Toyota event.

  • No shit, eh?

    ;)

  • I think I'd prefer to clean iron fillings off a magnet than dog poop. Why not use an empty bag instead? Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to cast iron pans.

  • You'd think that would help but it probably means they just send more missiles and hit more random things around the target.

  • I hope you said something like, "oh, that looks cool, can I try?" And then go around easily killing some enemies you already know and then comment on how easy the games kids are playing these days are.

  • The title comes from the north literally fighting to keep the Union together, not that "the union" means "good guys". They were good in this case because the reason the south was trying to leave was to keep slavery going.

  • And in the middle of the pitched set of duels, most times an important character struggles, another one will show up just in time to save them, maybe exchange some words, and then split back up to wade back into the series of duels (to cover more ground).

    Also everyone knows what's going on, who is the enemy and who is an ally, and orders are clearly yelled out and quickly followed with minimal confusion. There's a good chance that some characters are carrying out a conversation.

  • Given who is in control of the "union" right now, I'm not sure that will be the good side.

  • Last I checked, they did have MT options on some vehicles still.

  • That log had a child!

  • Hell, even if it became more profilic than english without it, mandarin is very prolific but you don't see many LLMs throwing in random mandarin when you prompt it in english, unless it's a question about language (and the one time I did, the LLM was clearly breaking down entirely).

    And even if it did work and caused LLMs to insert undesired characters, it's trivial to do a text replace on the output and undo it.

  • Github copilot can do some impressive things, but it also ignores my instructions to not try to run anything and leave testing to me that I've stopped bothering saying it and just block the attempt when it asks permission. Just yesterday, it confidently said it had figured out an issue I was debugging with it and made a bunch of code changes that literally only affected comments. If I leave it in agent mode (which allows it to edit code) when asking a question to clarify something and not intending any code changes but wanting to think about the answer (and telling it that), sometimes it still runs ahead and tries to make changes anyways.

    When it does well, it's uncanny how effective it can be these days, but it's not reliable enough to be trusted to be in control of the whole system. Plus I don't trust Microsoft enough to put my data on onedrive, and believe that access to data is the real reason behind their AI push, no matter how much usefulness and reliability improves.

  • Ah classic mistake, building up defenses on a choke point only to realize it's not the only entrance to your base and now zerglings are eating your SCVs.

  • Should have picked up the Pure Blooded dynastic trait.

  • Not the best idea to plug it directly into the socket either, unless your home has surge protection built in. Dunno if that's even a thing.

    Ideally plug it in to a UPS with an isolated circuit so that it acts as a surge protector, filter, and battery backup.
