You forgot that Hamas is run by people who spend most of their time living extravagantly in their sugar daddy countries.

I wholly agree with your overall point but that’s not why this exists. The ruling class is not so benevolent to give people jobs just to make sure they’re fed - they don’t care. This technology exists because it’s good for the shareholders. Data - and control of said data - is valuable and their bosses want it. It’s all about profits and consolidated power - this job would not exist if not for its benefit to the ruling class.

“Bullshit work” is stuff like paper pushing and those are the jobs that are disappearing with automation.

Most people that say they give a shit about surround sound don’t have it set up correctly anyway lol

They’re lucky if the speakers are even in the right place…let alone tuned properly. Good AVRs come with a microphone and most of the takeover projects I did when I was in home AV had it sitting unopened in the box.

Then I shall wait until 2025 to play it.

Supergiant Games is probably my favorite studio out there but I just can’t do early access anymore. If I play it now, I know I won’t go back when it’s released to see the stuff that changed…

glimse ,

Oh I’m sure the game will be great! I just don’t want to “burn out” on it in early access and never go back like I have a tendency to do.

glimse ,

It will definitely be great - I just won’t check back in if I play it now.

Supergiant has never made a game I didn’t like!

glimse ,

I know, I know. Supergiant can’t miss so I’m positive I would love it…it’s just that I don’t ever replay games like this and I’d rather wait a year for the polished version than get my fix now.

glimse ,

I’ll just say this…remember the username for later. She’s been around for awhile posting a ton of (perhaps fictional) personal information, though I think most of the posts were deleted.

Helicopter carrying Iran's President Raisi crashes, search under way (www.reuters.com)

DUBAI, May 19 (Reuters) - A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog, an Iranian official told Reuters, and rescuers were struggling to reach the site of the incident....

glimse ,

The Israeli government isn’t exactly known for their subtly… UNLESS… They’ve deliberately been shit at hiding it before so this time everyone would assume it couldn’t have been them…Netanyahu is a stable genius playing 4D chess…!

glimse ,

Recently?

Tech has always been about pushing boundaries. And that’s not a bad thing

glimse ,

I agree that 1000hz is ridiculous, I have a 165hz monitor and can’t tell the difference past 120 or so. But that’s not really the point…this will never be a mainstream product but the technology may lead to useful advancements in the future

glimse , (edited )

But there’s a big red arrow pointing to the obvious. Isn’t that enough to convince you it’s worth watching…?

glimse ,

But surely you’re aware how played out that joke is?

glimse ,

Twitter was great and I think anyone who thinks otherwise either curated it to be awful or didn’t really use it at all. Your Twitter experience was defined by who you followed. There was sports Twitter, political Twitter, science Twitter, weird Twitter…there were thousands of different spheres to put yourself in.

If you followed political accounts…yeah you set yourself up for a toxic experience. But I followed funny people so my experience was great. A seemingly endless series of one liners, comics, and weird observations.

glimse ,

Twitter was no worse in that regard than any social media site until the 2016 election.

glimse ,

It got worse but it didn’t become a truly toxic cesspool until Elmo bought it.

It’s not like the majority of the site was toxic, either. It was THE site for science, comedy, music, and a bunch of other interests until recently. It’s like picking a couple shitty instances/communities we have here and declaring the entirety of the fediverse a toxic cesspool.

glimse ,

I had such high hopes for that game and was perfectly ok with it being a straight L4D clone with updated graphics. Unfortunately, they did not copy the parts of L4D that made it really fun and replayable.

I don’t know what they were thinking with that pvp mode. We played a round or two after beating the campaign and that was the last night my group played. Really disappointing.

glimse ,

I actually kinda liked the deck system…the idea of it anyway. I didn’t love picking the cards while playing, though.

glimse ,

It’s easy. Do what the other commenter said and break them before opening. They suggest in half, I prefer in thirds. Then after you eat the solid pieces you dump the crumbs into your mouth. If they made them less crumbly, I don’t think they’d be as good.

glimse ,

I’m all for reduxcing packaging but…ewww I’m not eating these from an unsealed box. Bugs love the crumbs…I can imagine they’d love the full bars, too. Not to mention rodents.

The box would have to be fully resealable, too, or they’d be gross so they’d need to replace the cardboard with plastic

glimse ,

Too risky. I’d rather have bite size pieces than try to catch the crumbs in the tiny wrapper

glimse ,

To make them not turn to dust in transit, they’d need to be in a hard shell sleeve wrapped in plastic like Oreos…and they’d still likely get crushed a bit.

I’m not a packaging engineer but that seems like more plastic with little added benefit

This dumb fucker’s only skill is kicking a football

glimse ,

It’s not true for every player, of course, but I’m inclined to think he got into Georgia Tech through football recruitment, not academic qualifications.

glimse ,

Its not a bad school, my cousin went there and he’s a very successful engineer. But he didn’t go there for sports

Ever seen the game Vaudeville? It’s a fairly basic detective game but all the characters have their own LLM and AI voices. I bought it for the reason you described. I just had to see the technology in action and I can definitely see a future with generative text/voices in games.

It’s not perfect by any means but I think it’s a very cool approach to a detective game. There have been updates to it since I played that address most of the problems I had with it like characters forgetting past conversations and giving conflicting info.

glimse ,

That’s pretty much Vaudeville. The only things you can do is click on locations and talk to people, each of whom has some bit of information you need to figure out.

It’s basically an experiment to see what works and what doesn’t with the idea. I appreciate that they kept the scope small (no quests, no WASD movement) and have been implementing changes as they discover the shortfalls (like the ones I’ve mentioned). If it ever does get released as a finished game, it’ll be more like a proof of concept for other games to build off of.

glimse ,

Unless you want to push back (clearly you don’t), I wouldn’t even acknowledge the topic or what about the topic makes you uncomfortable

“Hey man, this is a bar conversation. I don’t feel comfortable talking about stuff like this at work.”

I work in the same office as my best friend and I’ve told him similar - even though our politics are very closely aligned. Yes, I agree it would be funny if Trump shit his pants when he falls asleep in court. But I don’t want people to hear us talking about that

glimse ,

Nah because then you actually have to talk to them at lunch

Needs more Builder AI in the title

glimse ,

She’s very pretty and has a very “simple” face so I’m not surprised they picked her. And by simple I don’t mean stupid, I mean like that “you look easy to draw” meme. I’m not familiar enough with eastern Europe to identify people by their country but to me, she has a “racially ambiguous” face and generative AI seems to prefer those over faces with “unique” features which often get weird or distorted

I feel kinda gross commenting on the appearance of a stranger but hopefully that reads how I meant (not mysoginistic or creepy)

glimse ,

The biggest offense is the cut line on the GitHub sticker…what the fuck is going on there? Why cut out around the H?

This is a blog post from the guy who created the “study”

I read the study and it makes a hell of a lot of assumptions without really proving anything. I’m inclined to think the author worked backwards from his preconceived conclusion. It’s not very convincing.

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

glimse ,

At the risk of sounding like a shill…Wendy’s biggy bag is an incredible value. $5 for a sandwich, fries, 4 nugs, and a drink.

I eat there like once a month at most but it’s the only fast food I’ll eat besides McDonald’s breakfast when I convince myself I deserve a treat (also like once monthly)

glimse ,

It’s still fast food so don’t go in expecting a delicacy or anything but it’s pretty great for the money.

I like the crispy chicken BLT option the best. When I’m feeling crazy I get asiago cheese on it.

    Internet forum polls for stuff like this are useless

    Israel orders people in more areas of Gaza's Rafah to evacuate (www.reuters.com)

    Israel called on Saturday for Palestinians in more areas of Gaza’s southern city of Rafah to evacuate and head to what it calls an expanded humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi, in a further indication that the military is pressing ahead with its plans for a ground attack on Rafah....

    American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse?

    Hi there, I’m a registered nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and I’m seriously considering moving abroad because this country is driving me insane for a lot of reasons. I was considering moving to Israel since I’m Jewish and I’ve heard they have a better healthcare system there and pay nurses well but this war has made me not...

    glimse ,

    You guys also have a wayyyy better version of Taskmaster than the garbage we got in the US which is pretty cool

    glimse ,

    I think your first sentence is fragmented.

    glimse ,

    Does your fake son know you’re the type of loser who frequently leaves comments on porn posts?

    Nothing you can say hurt me lmao

    glimse ,

    It’s fun to make fun of trolls before they get banned

    glimse ,

    The American version failed miserably in so many ways.

    I like Reggie Watts but he was either the wrong choice for Taskmaster or he just didn’t understand the role. It didn’t help that Alex Horne reprised his role as an assistant and there was just…zero chemistry. The NZ and Aus versions have a different dynamic than Greg/Alex but they do seem to get along. Alex seemed very out of place with Reggie…almost like a British butler stereotype. I don’t know how to describe it.

    I thought the cast choice was bad, too. There was no one notable and their personalities weren’t quite as varied as other series. I won’t say who but there was also one who I consider to the worst contestant of any series ever by a wiiiide margin. Didn’t have an opinion on them before but now I can’t stand them.

    Lastly, the pacing felt so…off. The episodes were half as long and while you’d think that might make for tighter comedy, I remember being so bored watching it. There was basically no banter at all. You never “got to know” the contestants and I didn’t feel the desire to look them up like I did with a lot of the UK/NZ/AUS cast.

    It’s not even worth watching to understand what I mean. I strongly encourage you to just forget it exists.

    [Edit] I couldn’t remember the whole cast so I looked it up and of course found people shitting on it. A few other things I forgot: all of the tasks were repeats from the UK version and at least one contestant was straight up mean to Alex (who is a precious angel that no one should be mean to)

    glimse ,

    You’re not fucking with anyone if everyone is either laughing at you or pitying you

    glimse ,

    So what have you seen of this kid who has deliberate avoided media attention?

    All I’ve seen is him declining an RNC invitiation. And also tons of pictures of him looking miserable next to his family…

    glimse ,

    I wonder if progress will be slow and steady until we finally get there or if it will be a huge jump past the finish line like there was in the 80s. Either way, I don’t expect to see practical applications outside of the lab in my lifetime…but it’s really fun to watch the science advanced, even if it is all over my head
