DRM to prevent copying games without official license has always been a waste of money. It is always just a matter of time until even the hardest DRM measure is broken. Always has been like this. I remember when Ubisoft was very proud of their new fancy DRM shitware that prevented running unlicensed copies of some Assassin’s Creed title, only for it to be cracked a month later and the crackers saying “thanks for this interesting challenge”.

After what Snowden has uncovered, Palantir plain in the open, companies like Meta/Facebook and Alphabet/Google shitting on your privacy , I am absolutely sure you will be subject to spying always and regardless of what you’re doing.

You guys are still using Google?

It’s nice how AI datacenters step by step swallow virtually all available hardware resources to provide digital services to users who won’t be able to use those services due to the lack of available hardware.

Shit, haven’t got much time left to finally play through Skyrim.

Ah here we go again, Nestle trying to kill babies again.

Fuck Nestle.

Different waters taste differently. Tap water taste differs from region to region. Bottled water tastes differently between brands and also compared to tap water. This is also caused by varying amounts of minerals.

If you think your sense of taste works fine, but can not tell taste differences in water, try making direct comparisons. Take some bottled water and some tap water (if it is safe for drinking whereever you live). Then take a sip, focus on the taste. Try making out differences. Repeat a couple of times.
If you still can’t make out any differences and you weren’t impatient, it might be worth training your sense of taste first, because water does have a flavour.

Depending on the application case and benchmark, being 0.1 to 0.3 % better than other SOTA approaches can still be statistically highly significant. Even though such a number does notmlook like much, it can mean a large leap forward in practise.

Anyway, I wouod add a machine learning paper type that was written by an LLM and nobody cared to call that out in the peer review.

Imagine having that much money. Then imagine how much good you could do with that in the world. And then be like: “nah”.

And today another finding in the series: “humans are stupid”.

Skyrim was released on the 11.11.2011. I still haven’t played through. It’s about time.

I have no fucking clue how to do small talk. I tend to get too serious too fast and feel very incompetent and overwhelmed with this kind of almost meaningless noise. So it either ends in awkward silence or in me saying something too heavy for that kind of conversation, which tends to make things awkward as well.

Example, option A:
“It’s so nice and warm today.”
“Yeah, but did you know that death rates of sensitive population groups like elderly have increased due to more and intense heatwaves caused by global warming?”

Option B:
“It’s so nice and warm today.”
“Yeah.”

Maybe I should get checked for autism, lol.
