I've found that the LLMs tend to over classify and nitpick a fair bit, often missing broader context that accounts for the flaw being tolerated or undiscovered.

They're not wrong, but have no context for triage and so give far too many results. It forces you to consider an LLM subscription yourself just to keep up with the other LLM users which is starting to feel like some form of zero sum red queen's race.

The tsunami of reports won't be receding for a while yet, and we can only hope the teams on the receiving end don't drown in it.

You have an option in your settings to request "desktop mode" which may change this.

They probably want to increase the number of users on their app and are trying to force mobile users over, the "not powerful enough" statement is likely a lie.

"Today marks the successful delivery of the project on time and under budget." I dream of hearing these words more often.

DM: Scribbles a note "Without the rust it seems like a serviceable crown, but not too fancy."

Note to lost heir: "You see the crown and you think as it... looks at you. This should be your crown. You wants it. They shouldn't keep it from you. Steals it, hides it, it came here for you".

DM: "Probably worth some gold."

The "excuse" is more or less the 20 or so replacements that have been made and died. I think Microsoft alone is responsible for 5 over the life of Windows.

We've more or less kinda settled on HTML only because it's already wide spread. But it's not perfect so more standards for the standards pile. Don't worry, react will end up buried by the next thing on the pile eventually.

Or that it got stuck in the figurative basement organ where a silly amount of bio-chemistry is stuck because evolution kinda shrugged a few million years ago.

This comment sent me on a deep thought train. These places are populated by those that remained, while others left and became the sophisticated urbanites that broadened their horizons. My father was one of those people that left, he left the day after his mother died and joined the military, a common enough story. He was quite the teacher, and it made me the person I am today.

My father often also pointed out those who had also left, who had also done well. There's a selection bias there but I feel like having a mix of both a rural and urban experience is extremely helpful in human development.

Those that stay... well my father was often disappointed to hear how poorly things went out there, but with no family remaining there he never returned. Abused, poorly supported (though sometimes it seemed not for a lack of trying), with an evaporative cooling effect removing the best and brightest as they went to urban areas seeking better lives, and perhaps resentful they didn't get to leave. The crab bucket effect is in full play as well, dragging back down many who climb but don't get out.

In the end the remainers feel not quite unlike a medieval peasant: A prize for nobility to fight over, an accessory to the land they work, and body that can be drafted when someone threatens to take that prize away.

That's how they get ya.

They point and say, "Look at that!" And turn up the sleep juice, then you're gone, for like no time at all, And then you wake up to find your wisdom teeth are missing and the anesthesiologist is getting bribed by the tooth fairy.

I'm finding myself having to guide people through UIs that have random symbols instead of an obvious word that says what it does.

It's annoying and getting worse.

You can easily use a word button to point to a side out menu with words, all language localised, that will actually make sense to a user instead of causing a tech anxiety attack!

I shouldn't have to scout and translate a UI for someone. If there's one bright side to all the AI being pushed at users is that it's at least able to communicate with actual text, and usually wants to be user-friendly instead of hostile.

1: Yes.

2: Not really. It's more about self image and social presentation.

3: Best response I have is, "And?" Covers a lot of bases.

4: Same way you get any title like Doctor, or Fam, you need to be accepted into the community by peers, and not necessarily universally.

Pug, we need historians like you to remind us what normal should look like.

And who else would remind us about the Eternal Glory of Rome that even modern empires in decline still look to for inspiration?

To be 100% honest, probably not, and you may need to confirm with someone who knows Valorant. The big issue is anti-cheat, the detectors in use for major multiplayer games tend to lose their minds when they see Linux as they're typically only built for Windows. Other than anti-cheat, it wouldn't surprise me if it played better on Linux. Some of the low level magic has improved a lot in recent years, but official support is mandatory for multiplayer.

I could see wall street and other traders trading options on the gold under the dragon because it isn't going anywhere and it's safe from basically everything.

That market will crash if sufficiently skilled dragon hunters show up though, better ban dragon slaying.

Thanks for surfacing this one, it's always fun to get the older perspective and realising they're very human.

Usually it's wise to placate the people you screw. One of my favourite sayings is, "Friends come and go, enemies accumulate." You don't want too many, especially those who have little to lose.

Building good will after the fact is very wise, even if it only buys a grudging acceptance. The prestige is also a major bonus in smoothing over business dealings.

Getting a bad rep leads to cautious or worse terms in deals, if not being outright bypassed in favour of a competitor.

As TachyonTele suggested, you may want to play or read into Half Life Alyx. Time travel got involved.

Yeah, Oracle licencing has really taken the shine off Java and relegated it to the legacy dust bin.

I personally found Widow fairly hard until I managed to calm down and read her better.

Widow's music and the sheer spectacle of her bell attacks really made her more of a challenge than she actually was.

Judge, it was almost more of an endurance fight where you had to keep up or get steamrolled. Harder, but didn't quite make the same impression that Widow did.

First that comes to mind is Hofstadter.

My brother in web, you're not supposed to mix the alcohol and zero alcohol mouthwash together that just makes regular mouth wash!

Or it'll make super anti-acid, which should on no account be mixed with acid or the flux is probably going to send you back to the future.
