Xiaomi bootloaders used to work like that. You’d have to jump through some bullshit hoops to register your phone for bootloader unlocking, and then wait a few days to finally be able to unlock it. Then they made that worse and worse, and afaik it’s so insanely difficult and inconvenient right now that it’s practically impossible to unlock your Xiaomi phone’s bootloader. This applies to all the brands under that umbrella.

I am about 97.37% sure Google will do the same over time and at some point you just won’t be able to install any APKs.

Club penguin of course

They didn’t. They agreed to buy them. With the money that they don’t yet have, and probably can’t ever earn.

Which makes this whole thing so much more insane.

Also the guy’s last name is Poon.

Tbh there aren’t many modern cars that look like they will last 35 years, and unfortunately that includes the Japanese.

It is an evolution of the old “asdasdasd”, which popped into existence because it’s easier to type into game chat without lifting your left hand off the WASD keys.

I once heard a young man laugh asdasdasd out loud. As in he actually made the sound “asdasdasd” when laughing instead of the more natural haha sound. Bizarre experience it was.

They are used for that kind of applications already. You put one of those on, and some technician remotely guides you in doing some maintenance while looking through your eyes. They can mark things in your fov, show you diagrams, whatever. Pretty neat actually.

LLMs can’t learn. It’s one of their inherent properties that they are literally incapable of learning. You can train a new model, but you can’t teach new things to an already trained one. All you can do is adjust its behavior a little bit. That creates an extremely expensive cycle where you just have to spend insane amounts of energy to keep training better models over and over and over again. And the wall of diminishing returns on that has already been smashed into. That, and the fact that they simply don’t have concepts like logic and reasoning and knowing, puts a rather hard limit on their potential. It’s gonna take several sizeable breakthroughs to make LLMs noticeably better than they are now.

There might be another kind of AI that solves those problems inherent to LLMs, but at present that is pure sci-fi.

They don’t work well anymore though, that’s the whole point. Bethesda’s codebase is past “mature”, it’s just straight up old and outdated now. Has been for a decade at the very least. Their games have looked and performed noticeably worse than their contemporaries for a good while now.

On our German tests back in hs, there was a vocab section where we’d use words in sentences. I didn’t know one of the words in one of the tests, so I wrote “ich weiß nicht was <word> bedeutet”, which means “I don’t know what <word> means”. Our teacher accepted that one with a laugh, but said it was a one time thing and it would not be allowed again. People still tried their luck with similar tricks after that, but got nothing.

Me, I was just surprised she’d never seen that in her career before. I wasn’t expecting to get any points for that. Thought she for sure would have had other smartass students like me.

Can’t say I ever made a dramatic entrance into a hospital, but I did once jump into a cab and said “follow that car”. Let me tell you man, it felt great. Was amazing. The other car was a friend’s and we were going somewhere together as a large group, but still. I recommend everyone at least do that once in their lives. Such a thrill. 10/10.

An A-B repeat feature. Member when media players had that? I member. Back in my day you could listen to the ooga booga section of Freak on a Leash 162 times in a row with just two clicks.

Not here, but this is a screenshot from a video, likely from a platform where there is something to gain.

We need enamel that grows back. More robustly built eyes that don’t get bent out of shape and lose effectiveness. A user replaceable HEPA filter somewhere along the windpipe. An update to the liver firmware to get rid of hangovers. Most importantly, and I can’t stress this enough, we need certain kinds of body hair to be opt-in only.

That’s not funny. Radiation poisoning is not funny. The horse should have something you can laugh at. Like full blown aids. Contracted from an African prostitute. It should be riddled with it. Now that’s comedy.

No idea who that is

I’m sure there have been people who sold some catalytic converters that fell of a truck somewhere to buy RAM.

Because whitespace sensitivity makes it very easy to make a whole bunch of annoying mistakes when shuffling code around, or copying it from one source to another (from text in one application to the editor in your ide for example). I find it supremely unpleasant to work with. Looking kinda a little bit slightly messed up should not be a critical syntax error that breaks the whole code.

Well Tesla tried to fix that by making it a yoke instead of a wheel so your hands would never leave their designated positions. And then they went and fucked that up by making it a fixed steering ratio like a regular wheel, which defeated the entire purpose of a yoke. Then they just ditched the yoke entirely instead of developing a variable ratio steering mechanism for it, and that was it for the yoke. Oh also they went back on their bold and courageous and revolutionary and innovative move of removing the steering stalk in favor of shitty capacitive buttons on the wheel, because everyone hated that too. Very brave.

Never seen it. Is it good? Where is it streaming?
