  • Judging whether a person is sufficiently distant for it to be acceptable not to hold the door is a classic Eastern Canadian trial.

  • [Video] ICE Chief Bovido and his goons get yelled out of a store after using the bathroom

    Jump

  • It is bizarre to me in a way I find difficult to articulate that they felt the need to treat a bathroom visit in a Target as if it required full operational kit.

  • People can be busy or tired or anything else. You aren't owed 100% engagement all of the time, even from your friends.

  • Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them"

  • They are in general purpose PCs though. Intel has them taking up die space in a bunch of their recent core ultra processors.

  • what exactly is the steam frame?

    Jump

  • The frame's foveated streaming is a separate thing from foveated rendering. Foveated streaming does nothing to reduce the rendering load on the hardware running the game, it just reduces the network bandwidth required.

  • New York teachers stunned to learn some students can’t read time on old clocks after phone ban comes into play

  • Not sure what kind of sequestered live you lead but schools are definitely not the only place you encounter them. Analog wall clocks and watch faces are still reasonably common.

  • What drives me crazy about the use of water for datacenters is that it isn't necessary. Unlike growing crops where the water is a non-negotiable requirement of the endeavor just by its very nature, you can cool a datacentre without continuously consuming water.

    It just so happens that by a completely insane series of circumstances it's the cheapest way to do so. You could run the servers in the datacenters at a lower power limit. You could use non-evaporative cooling. You could build the datacentre in a colder or less arid climate. But no, all of those options either cost slightly more or generate slightly less money, so they aren't even considered. Couple that with the fact that a significant proportion of that consumption is in service of prompts that no end user ever actively asked for, like the LLMs responses being generated many thousands of times per second by Google searches. It's just this utterly pointless pissing away of resources.

  • The ‘doorman fallacy’: why careless adoption of AI backfires so easily

    Jump

  • Reads an article about people falling for the doorman fallacy, immediately falls for the doorman fallacy.

  • Oh, I haven't purchased any of the revised 2024 material but I still follow it and am playing in a campaign being run by a friend.

    I don't feel like it's worth giving up regularly seeing friends I've had for decades just to avoid WotC materials on principle.

  • They changed True Strike significantly in the 2024 rules making it no longer a waste of an action for regular attacks.

    New Strike lets you attack as part of the casting using your spellcasting stat in place of str/dex for the weapon, optionally changes the weapons damage type to radiant, and adds cantrip scaling to your weapon damage.

    The one use case for original True Strike to give advantage on leveled spell attack rolls and reduce the chance of wasting a spell slot (or other consumable) on a miss is gone though.

  • No, the initial versions of Edge used a new engine that was different from Internet Explorer's Trident engine.

  • There's another alternative, which is manually adding libraries to your project yourself instead of doing it all automatically through a package manager.

    Yes, it's less convenient to download and import a package manually, especially if you need to do the same with a litany of dependencies, but I don't feel like that's a bad thing. Raising the barrier of entry for arbitrarily adding thousands of lines of other people's code to your project would force people to think about how much of that they actually need.

  • Sure, that's not a problem. Calling a legitimate sensitivity an "allergy" for the sake of expediency isn't a problem. It's still a legitimate dietary concern that needs similar handling.
