There’s probably some interesting digestive side effects to a body used to a liquid diet.

Can imagine a plotline where the vampire is always disappearing after human-style “masking” meals to sit around with stomach cramps and the runs.

From each according to his ability, INTO each according to his need.

I do want to see where China goes with soft power.

I’m ashamed about the amount of my life I’ve wasted in Genshin and Where Winds Meet, but it still feels like the a lot of their cultural exports haven’t cracked the “just exotic enough for broad global appeal” that big-brand anime or K-pop have hit.

If nothing else, imagine they treat it with the same strategic importance they gave industrial dominance. There would be a room full of very stern and sincere Vice-Ministers for Waifu Development and Fanboy Accelerstion.

I’m thrilled SOMEONE is.

How many before they stop running those damnable Shen Yun adverts?

I’d like to see the drama series where someone comes in and says “this village of 600 people has had 31 murders in the last five years. All of which were solved by old grannies, visiting chefs, and cats walking on typewriters. It’s obvious that law enforcement is dropping the ball big time.” 24 episodes doing a complete teardown of the local police.

I think we should look to outside talent. The lettuce that outlasted Liz Truss is available and probably more personable despite several years of decomposition.

Manul.

Void with X11 (fvwm3). The fussier games tend to be online live-service titles; every new release Genshin Impact does a new weird.

I am disappointed it’s not a VLIW platform.

The more Chinese goods you buy, the more it tethers them to that outdated vision of selling products people actually want instead of a modern 21st century financial engineering economy!

I use gitlab because the company I work for had on-prem Gitlab and I figured it was a sensible business model (selling to firms who need private services for compliance reasons)

They usually come in containers a lot like the ones you get 250g of potato salad in from a supermarket deli counter.

But is the Frogurt cursed?

If you like that, try to make time for the Railway Museum in York. Worth the two-hours-each-way train ride.

I suspect it was an attempt to group by dome sort of income/PPP tiering.

They couldn’t sell DVDs to America for $20 if they also sold compatible ones for Ghana at $3.

See what you can find in junk shops.

You can find older AVRs for peanuts, and occasionally a nice vintage part, especially if you can do minor fixes. Speakers may need inspection, as they might have rotted surrounds or be torn.

The Internet boom didn’t have the weird you’re-holding-it-wrong vibe too. Legit “It doesn’t help with my use case concerns” seem to all too often get answered with choruses of “but have you tried this week’s model? Have you spent enough time trying to play with it and tweak it to get something more like you want?” Don’t admit limits to the tech, just keep hitting the gacha.

I’ve had people say I’m not approaching AI in “good faith”. I say that you didn’t need “good faith” to see that Lotus 1-2-3 was more flexible and faster than tallying up inventory on paper, or that AltaVista was faster than browsing a card catalog.

I have to think that most people won’t want to do local training.

It’s like Gentoo Linux. Yeah, you can compile everything with the exact optimal set of options for your kit, but at huge inefficiency when most use cases might be mostly served by two or three pre built options.

If you’re just running pre-made models, plenty of them will run on a 6900XT or whatever.

I’d suspect the low “density” of context makes it prone to hallucinations. You need to load in 3000 lines to express what Python does in 3, so there’s a lot of chances to guess the next token wtong.
