Batman is a lunatic occasionally playing rich playboy to finance his crusade against crime, born from untreated trauma.
And most of his villains are just as insane as him.
Gotham is basically a vicious circle of maniacs driving each other further insane.
The only advantage of tape was, at the time, it’s smaller size and portability
And not being read-only.
Also, you could spool them with a pencil.
That’s a cyberman, from Star Trek.
CA: Brave New World (Order) is about how slavery is okay when the President General does it and loves his daughter or something
What? Ross ended up in jail, and was never portrayed as the good guy…
what Captain America is up to these days. Is he already the poster boy for ICE?
Well, yeah, he basically was, for a while.
(These fascist types tend to identify more with the Punisher, though, despite the fact that he’d be the first to shoot them full of bullets.)
They’ll never be able to learn, though.
A LLM is merely a statistical model of its training material. Very well indexed but extremely lossy compression.
It will always be outdated. It can never become familiar with your codebase and coding practices. And it’ll always be extremely unreliable, because it’s just a text generator without any semblance of comprehension about what the texts it generates actually mean.
All it’ll ever be able to do is reproduce the standards as they were when its training model was captured.
If we are to compare it to a junior developer, it’d be someone who suffered a traumatic brain injury just after leaving college, which prevents them from ever learning anything new, makes them unaware that they can’t learn, and incapable of realising when they don’t know something, makes them unable to reason or comprehend what they are saying, and causes them to suffer from verbal diarrhoea and excessive sycophancy.
Now, such a tragically brain damaged individual might look like the ideal worker to the average CEO, but I definitely wouldn’t want them anywhere near my code.
Lick my balls.
My favorite use is actually just to help me name stuff.
Reverse dictionary lookup, more or less.
Now, that is something LLMs should be actually good at, unlike practically any other thing they’re being sold as being good at.
The junior developer can (hopefully) learn and improve.
Dymaxion.
Waterman is nice and all, but I don’t like the way it splits Australia and New Zealand, or how it puts Antarctica in a separate bit like Alaska in USA maps.
Dymaxion offers a nice continuous view of all the continents, and can still be folded into a sufficiently spherical globe-like thingy.
It’d be nice to have an alternative version that made the oceans continuous, though, for people who like ships and stuff.
KSA is dead in the water, though.
Blowing up Jeb is fun for the whole family, including Jeb.
Blowing up kittens is not fun, in any way, shape, or form, unless you’re a deranged psychopath.
No one will play such a game.
Alzheimer’s
Neurosyphilis, probably.
Did she prove it?
Favourite of all time?
Wing Commander (2 if I have to pick one, otherwise 1, 2, and secret missions).
Monkey Island (3 if I have to pick one, 1 to 3 otherwise).
Third is difficult, but… Disco Elysium, I guess…?
(What games I’ve spent the most time playing, though…? Definitely Crusader Kings 2 and 3, followed by Stellaris.)
Good flash memory might last a decade, maybe a bit more.
Average flash memory probably won’t.
The standard (and tested for decades) answer is tape.
M-Disc might also be an alternative.
If I understand it correctly, they’re arguing that any unauthorized “modification of the computer program” (i.e. the web page) is a copyright violation.
This wouldn’t only affect adblockers… this would affect any browser feature, extension, or user script that modifies the page in any way, shape, or form… translators, easy reading modes, CSS modifiers (e.g., dark mode for pages that don’t have it, or anything that improves readability for people with vision problems), probably screen readers…
This would essentially turn web browsers into the HTML equivalent of PDF readers, without any of the customisability that’s been standard for decades…
