Robust Mirror

I actually do something for monthly bills where I set aside half its amount every 2 weeks. So if it’s $100 a month, I put away $50 each fortnight to pay it. Then every 6 months a magical spare $50 appears that I can do whatever with.

Also it gets worse. Either he’s commandeered his friend into doing this with him for free, or they’re splitting it and he’s actually managing to average every 12 minutes.

Criticise llm all you want but it’s successfully walked me through some really technical things that I had no idea how to do.

I meant in the swimming, sorry for not clarifying. Though you could absolutely consider only looking at that event not looking very close, but that is why I said from what I’ve seen and not as a fact of the entire competition.

Though on the other hand you did only offer a single additional name so it doesn’t really dispute it being majority no names in my mind. Even 1-2 big names per event would still be pretty much majority no names depending how you define it.

It’s mostly true. The biggest name from what I’ve looked into is Ben Proud. He won silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the 50m freestyle. But you are largely correct it is majority no names.

They still test because the whole framework relies on verified categories, but I’ll admit the optics are hilarious.

Not entirely, because if I never corrected them they would be a stranger on the internet to SOMEONE talking that way eventually.

Ultimately the ability to understand something doesn’t make it correct and I get tired of the “language evolves” and “you understood it, right?” arguments because even if true we can also understand “me want job” and “John hungry” but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t both attempt to speak correctly and continue to learn.

I’m learning a second language and I would prefer to be corrected and speak naturally in it as much as possible rather than the bar simply being understood.

I understand my 3yo as well but that doesn’t mean they should continue to speak that way just because they can technically be understood.

In English you use plural for zero count. I have zero pigs. There are 0 cows.

Sure dude keep trying to convince yourself people have issues for posting comments on comment threads.

If you can’t see why people subjectively like new stuff, that’s not something anyone can really help you with. You’re welcome to watch the office or whatever on repeat for the rest of your life, or simply not watch TV, but to say you fundamentally can’t understand why anyone would watch anything new says more about you than them.

Penis is not penis?

No you pay the ISP for internet access in general, that is justified by the cost of infrastructure, which you ALSO have to pay when accessing it on playstation on top of ps+. It’s really not the same thing at all.

Btw I personally pay for ps+ because as someone that jumped into the ps5 after the last console I had be the ps2, I’ve found I’m never without something to play from all the back catalogue alone. Even just the 20 game pack they gave on release was worth it to me at the time. I just put away $3 a week and buy it on black Friday sales with change.

Spiderman 2 that they gave access to this year basically covered the price alone, and I don’t have to justify each game I buy, it’s just another annual bill like Netflix. Will I lose the whole thing if I stop paying or Sony changes things? Yeah. But I already knowingly factored that in. It’s a Netflix for games and I’m okay with that.

A few years ago I looked at what I spent on ps+ 2020-2025 vs steam 2015-2020, and ps+ was less. That’s enough for me to be happy.

I’m curious what your problem with enpass was? I got lifetime cheap back when lastpass went to hell and as far as I can tell with Wifi sync they could go out of business entirely and I could still use it.

For a chart to be expressing over diagnosis, the line representing diagnosis number would have to go higher than the line representing actual number.

Silly take. Almost nothing will stop it long term if they want it, illegal or not. And thinking of ideas that potentially could, that a single person could genuinely pull off, is not simple, no matter how serious you are.

God this is beyond ridiculous.

They used ChatGPT to sort over 1,400 National Endowment for the Humanities grants into spreadsheets. Their exact prompt to the AI was “Does the following relate at all to DEI? Respond factually in less than 120 characters. Begin with ‘Yes.’ or ‘No.’ followed by a brief explanation.”

They didn’t define what they meant by DEI. They just asked ChatGPT to figure it out. And then cancelled grants based on whatever it said. Probably didn’t even read past the yes or no.

The government’s defence was essentially ChatGPT did it, not us. When asked if he regretted people losing income, he said he didn’t, because reducing the deficit was more important. When asked if they actually reduced the deficit, he admitted they did not.

They caused real harm, achieved nothing they claimed to be pursuing, and expressed zero regret about it.

Just really horrible all around.

Pedantic reading: there are 2 pawns side by side looking at the castle, arguably one of them should be able to tear it down with their bare hands right now.

Yeah my backlog is so big now that I could probably be happy without ever buying another game. Of course there are some I still will just from being a fan of the ip or if something really interesting comes out but yeah I’m certainly not rushing out the door to grab it.
