Imagine never experiencing something like The Godfather because you can read.

I highly recommend the audio book. I feel like it adds something extra over reading the text, which is unusual. No spoilers.

A million times this! I haven't re-read it once, and I started in the 90s. This book series hada big impact on me. I named my son after a character, in fact!

Now it's been like 20 years since the last three books came out I think I can read it almost fresh again. Obviously I know the major plot points, but I bet there's so much I've forgotten.

I know why you included both, but saying "1 adb command" and then posting two is funny to me.

How much does it cost if οne person imagines it, generates an image, shares that, and 10k people see the image, and avoid imagining it?

The company I worked at got acquired by a big tech company. We're switching from Google suite to Microsoft, Mac to Windows, Slack to Teams, etc. It's pretty painful as transitions go, and if not for golden handcuffs I'd be gone.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be happy with Visual Studio though, so I use Jetbrains Rider.

Sainz isn't even challenging Albon in the Williams...

I identify as a zebra crossing.

Innocent until some guy on Lemmy says otherwise?

Oh wait, no, it still has to be proven.

Unless you were present at the time, you've seen some videos. Perhaps it's not likely, but videos can be faked, more easily now than ever before.

Proof first.

When I deliver it as a response to a request I have to deliver the gzipped version if nothing else. To get to a point where I'm poisoning an AI I'm assuming it's going to require gigabytes of data transfer that I pay for.

At best I'm adding to the power consumption of AI.

I wonder, can I serve it ads and get paid?

This is surely trivial to detect. If the number of pages on the site is greater than some insanely high number then just drop all data from that site from the training data.

It's not like I can afford to compete with OpenAI on bandwidth, and they're burning through money with no cares already.

Perhaps because their app and its gamification of learning is addictive and quite fun.

 

In the task where they had to count the seats in the cinema Andy Zaltzman says "one" while he's talking. That should have been his accepted answer.

Welcome to the Eurogamer 100, a list of video games that aims to reflect their ever-changing nature. Rather than ranking games by their influence or significance, the below list is a suggestion of the very best things you can play at this moment, according to us.

It's a pretty good list, I think, although there are a few "wtf" moments here and there as I see what's included and what's omitted.

I'll cut right to the chase. I'm playing the Aquarius expedition and I got a ship called The Celeste when I started. I fixed it up a bit, filled the inventory, and then, when I got enough nanites, I claimed the Iron Vulture from a previous expedition at The Anomaly.

The Iron Vulture appeared, and I began emptying some of my exosuit storage so I could transfer stuff out of The Celeste into the Vulture. For some reason, however, I cannot spawn in The Celeste again. So the ship, its technology, and cargo are all gone.

I have not had this problem in the past, so I'm really not sure what happened.

I can't even remember everything I lost, but I really wish I could get it all back.

I advise caution for anyone else looking to do the same thing.

 

I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!

 

Several months ago there was a QR code on an episode that led to the linked website.

Today's finally the day it says yes!

 

I used to fish a little bit as a child with my great-grandfather's incredibly heavy rod. I stopped fishing as I got older and then picked it up a little bit back in September.

I've been fishing for around 6 days (several of them were full 8-hour days) and I finally caught a fish this morning!

I'm so glad to know I'm not doing it all wrong.

 
 

I haven't looked up when Greg's actual birthday is...
