Hawken was dope as hell when it was running. It was a bit faster than Mechwarrior, no anime stuff. It looks like Hawken Reborn is an early access game on Steam, but I can’t vouch for it.

ITT: people who didn’t read the article.

Excel is still doing the calculations, not the AI. The AI is helping to write functions. You can easily spot check a couple examples then apply that same formula down the column. I don’t really see the issue.

Of all the things to shove AI into, the first thing that came to my mind years back was Excel. It’s handy when I’m presented a spreadsheet of data at work and I just want to do something like “write a function to extract just the number from a column containing data formatted like LPF_PHASE_OF_CARE [PAF 304001]” because I just want to copy paste all the numbers somewhere. It’s trivial to verify it works correctly, I can examine the formula, and I don’t have to wade through numerous shitty Excel tutorial websites to try and teach myself something I’ll use once or twice a year.

Quick shitpost images I share with friends and Excel functions are where I get the most utility out of AI, which in general I think sucks and is massively overhyped.

That’s not how your immune system works. Your immune reserves are not “spent” nor do they need to replace ones “lost”. It’s not like a military battle. Most pathogens are either destroyed or they avoid destruction through some mechanism - they’re not often fighting back against the WBCs.

Your immune system produces chemicals that make you feel like shit / tired, because it’s evolutionarily advantageous to feel like shit. This keeps you resting and away from others. This is also how medicines like NSAIDS or steroids can make you feel better, by inhibiting the processes instigated by WBCs. It’s not the disease that makes you feel bad, it’s your immune system (unless you’re deathly ill, we’re talking common cold/flu/COVID type stuff here).

It would be impossible for me to go in depth in immunology but your explanation is not at all in line with the evidence we have currently.

It’s definitely the patterns. What I’m saying is the patterns are not any different for cannabis versus any other photoperiod plant. Cannabis isn’t the only thing you veg under 18/6 and flower under 12/12 light cycles. It’s not illegal to grow plants indoors and if I spend 5kW doing it every day that’s nobody’s business but my own. I’ll use my joules however I feel.

That said, it seems like the way to defeat this type of analysis would be to invest in batteries so you can always have a constant 24h drain rather than 5kW turning on every day at the same time for 18 or 12 hours.

Wanna know the difference between growing weed indoors and growing anything else indoors?

Nothing. Fuck off. I’m growing extremely hot peppers indoors with my kilowatts of LEDs.

I’m not sure how to feel about understanding this now. Good, because I understand, or bad, because I’ll perpetually be annoyed from holding back the urge to correct.

Thanks, I guess?

The absolute worst version of this is shit like a16z or a11y. Ironically a11y is very inaccessible.

I hit up that Wikipedia article every few years and I still don’t quite understand it. I also put nearly no effort into trying to understand it because I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything but the technically incorrect way.

They’re already doing it for apartments and other rentals, and have been for years. Nobody did anything.

It’s kind of interesting that you say elevator music is soulless, not real art, etc. There are some genres of music that are based on elevator music, hold music, weather channel music, “Muzak” in general. It’s just as real as anything else, and people do seek it out.

“They glow in the dark, but you can hit them with your car”

Pretty funny that the slang term “glowies” for feds was started by Terry Davis.

The post nut clarity of realizing that buying that porn game was not such a great idea

I’d argue that it’s very important, especially since more and more people are using it. Wikipedia is generally correct and people, myself included, edit incorrect things. ChatGPT is a black box and there’s no user feedback. It’s also stupid to waste resources to run an inefficient LLM that a regular search and a few minutes of time, along with like a bite of an apple worth of energy, could easily handle. After all that, you’re going to need to check all those sources chatGPT used anyways, so how much time is it really saving you? At least with Wikipedia I know other people have looked at the same things I’m looking at, and a small percentage of those people will actually correct errors.

Many people aren’t using it as a valid research aid like you point out, they’re just pasting directly out of it onto the internet. This is the use case I dislike the most.

At least some editor will usually make sure Wikipedia is correct. There’s nobody ensuring chatGPT is correct.

I’ve had my 16TB ironwolf pros spinning for 5 years in my NAS, no issues. People love to trash Seagate but I can’t say I’ve had any issues. I also have 6x10TB barracuda pros and they’re fine too, for about 10 years.

There’s more evidence indicating it was a deliberate or accidental action by one of the pilots than evidence pointing to a mechanical issue, and that’s what I’m going with. There’s not “a million other explanations”. You seem emotionally invested in the outcome, calling various real life pilots making videos “rags”, calling me racist when I made absolutely no claims of the sort, claiming I’d feel different about various nations…

Guess we’ll see in that final report. I know what I’d be putting my money on, if I gambled. The preponderance of evidence at this point suggest an accidental or deliberate manipulation of the switches by one of the pilots.

Well specifically related to this:

If it’s spring based, and one side failed, it’s possible that next to no force will flip it to one side, but it takes the expected amount of force to move it in the other direction.

It’s the same direction for the supposed accidental move to CUTOFF you propose and the move to CUTOFF that didn’t happen when the plane didn’t hit the ground. The switches were placed in RUN and stayed that way until they were recovered. I have a very hard time believing they went to CUTOFF from some relatively light force during climb out, yet did not move at all when experiencing high forces during the crash.
