Please understand how small an elevator is, and how big fireball is. Your party is begging you.

Famous last words.

Which is great, honestly. Borogoves themselves are fine, but it’s not worth the risk letting them get all mimsy.

Your reference is ancient and dusty and it makes me feel old. Stop it.

Also the fact that the grain on the side of the shell is perpendicular to the grain on the top, and it changes where the cat ear comes up in front of it.

Very telltale sign of AI is a change of pattern in something when a foreground object splits it.

Not saying it’s always a guarantee, but it’s a common quirk and it’s pretty easy to identify.

NOW I CAN SEE THE WHALES

LOOMING OUT OF THE DARK

Thanks for confirming. I’m glad you mentioned it, cause it’s so important for teachers to create a learning environment that students want to learn from.

My schooling was made a lot worse by teachers that had the “punish cheaters” kind of mindset, and it’s a big part of why I dropped out of highschool.

Get a hormone blood panel done, it can check your cortisol.

I had one done a few weeks ago and (big surprise) my cortisol is basically non existent.

The implication I gathered from the comment was that if students are resorting to using chatgpt to cheat, then maybe the teacher should try a different approach to how they teach.

I’ve had plenty of awful teachers who try to railroad students as much as possible, and that made for an abysmal learning environment, so people would cheat to get through it easier. And instead of making fundamental changes to their teaching approach, teachers would just double down by trying to stop cheating rather than reflect on why it’s happening in the first place.

Dunno if this is the case for the teacher mentioned in the original post, but the response is the vibe I got from the comment you replied to, and for what it’s worth, I fully agree. Spending time and effort on catching cheaters doesn’t help there be less cheaters, nor does it help people like the class more or learn better. Focusing on getting students enjoyment and engagement does reduce cheating though.

When you hear a real knee slapper and your aim is slightly off.

Legit question: how is that different conceptually to the random individuals all running Prime95? Could that not also be referred to as a cloud supercomputer?

The part of the brain that goes “we’re doing reflexes now and you don’t get a say” is wild.

Monster Hunter is a great series. Not terribly stoked about the endgame in Rise though. I think my ideal game would be something like Generations Ultimate but with the overall clunk removal that world/rise did.

Funny, I have a stray cat that comes by who has that description. We call him Waggles.

Here he is, pondering what a tortured life he would live should he choose to be a house cat, forced to see life outside through the iron bars of the window frame, on account of being too inconvenienced by going through the cat door. He decided such a life was too much to bare, so he went to the front door and demanded I let him out.

He hates cat doors, but he’ll end up coming in the house on his own maybe once a month or so.

Newpipe is fucking great. Does what I want it to and doesn’t do what I don’t want it to. Favorite thing about it is the ability to easily download video or audio.

I’m so glad I decided to read this without skipping to the end first. What a great little journey, thanks for this.

My only suggestion is to spoiler the last bit for those with wandering eyes.

The term you’re looking for is doublethink.

On an unrelated note: 2+2=5

I hope they release more Smartypants soon. “When is the happiest birthday?” and “No thank you the ocean” are fucking incredible, but honestly it’s all gold.

Darkest dungeon does it well. Nothing is unbeatable, but the odds are stacked against you and the stress mechanic snowballs things pretty hard.

Last dungeon I ran, I had to decide whether to try to save an irrational team member and risk stressing everyone else out, or let him die of a heart attack to salvage the others.

Leads to a lot of “This is insane, I shouldn’t be here” moments.
