Nah, I got that, you're all Gucci

You think there are curves on this abomination?

The Sharrans' Shadow Ambush ability will now only trigger on weapon attacks.

Son of a... I just did this stupid fight YESTERDAY and they nerfed it the very next day! The mages causing 10-20 AOE necrotic damage every time they cast Darkness was easily the single most BS part of the fight, I had to look up a cheese blade barrier/wall of fire strategy to eventually beat it.

In what world did Democrats owe McCarthy anything? He backtracked on the debt limit deal he personally negotiated in the summer to try and appease the nutjobs, and on his commitment to require a vote by the full House of Representatives before launching an impeachment inquiry into Biden, proving himself unreliable, untrustworthy, and a slave to the whims of the extremist fringe in his caucus. He publicly stated that he did not want house Democrats to help him keep the speakership, never reached out to them once in the leadup to his ouster, and offered zero concessions to entice Democrats to vote for him. So why in the world is it Democrats' fault that they didn't vote for a backstabbing, untrustworthy, extremist lunatic that spit on them publicly and gave them nothing to entice their vote?

I'm sick and tired of the rhetoric that since Democrats are the responsible adults in the room, they have to bear responsibility for not bailing the GOP out of their own messes. How about we hold McCarthy responsible for not keeping his caucus under control, or the right wing nutjobs for voting like they have full control of the government instead of being the fringe of the fringe in a party that controls a single chamber in Congress?

Who even knows? For whatever reason the board decided to keep quiet, didn't elaborate on its reasoning, let Altman and his allies control the narrative, and rolled over when the employees inevitably revolted. All we have is speculation and unnamed "sources close to the matter," which you may or may not find credible.

Even if the actual reasoning was absolutely justified--and knowing how much of a techbro Altman is (especially with his insanely creepy project to combine cryptocurrency with retina scans), I absolutely believe the speculation that the board felt Altman wasn't trustworthy--they didn't bother to actually tell anyone that reasoning, and clearly felt they could just weather the firestorm up until they realized it was too late and they'd already shot themselves in the foot.

...So your metric of "too much AI safety" is that it won't let you fuck the fish...?

The speculation I heard in the Ars Technica article is that the board was unhappy with how quickly he was pushing to commercialize OpenAI, and they were wary about all the AI side hustles he was starting, including an AI chip company to compete with nvidia.

Iirc There's a remaster floating around that revamps the super dated CGI. It's no SNW but if you can stand TNG & DS9 you'll be OK.

I've had an AI bot trained on our company's knowledge base literally make up links to nonexistent articles out of whole cloth. It's so useless I just stopped bothering to ask it anything, I save more time looking it up myself.

Isn't the entire concept behind Lower Decks is that the Cerritos isn't a big, important ship? The California class only has 13 decks, which is the third smallest ship in the entire series--the only ships smaller than the Cerritos were the Defiant (which was an "escort ship" not intended for long missions) and the NX-01 Enterprise. It's also slower than everything else in the 24th century--while most other ships can handle warp 9 without problems, the Cerritos flies itself apart if it goes above warp 8 for too long. It's not all that strong either, practically every time it gets in a fight it gets its ass kicked.

Yeah, even with a heatsink and blasting my case fans at max my m.2 SSD hovers around 50 degrees idle. It's getting to the point I'm seriously considering taking off the side panel and pointing a fan straight at the motherboard to keep it cool.

My bachelor chow is a cup of cooked rice, a pound of ground meat, a bag of mixed frozen veggies, and a bag of mukimame (shelled edamame). Put the rice in the cooker, cook the ground beef in a pot, mix in the veggies, mix in the mukimame, add whatever seasonings I feel like, add in the cooked rice, serve. Cheap (or at least it was until meat prices went crazy, I may have to try it with spam instead), fast, only dirties three dishes.
