I had that Crash Test Dummies game on the Game Boy. I don’t think I knew there was a Game Gear version. I need to check that out.

In my experience, people will put garlic in mayo and call it aioli.

actually prefer Windows

I don’t understand. I recognize the words, but in that order, they make no sense.

I’m baffled by how much people like the Disturbed version. I find it to be considerably worse than the original.

Individual devices can range from dirt cheap to fairly expensive, but it all adds up over time.

Getting things initially set up is usually easy. Getting things automated correctly to your liking is a rabbit hole that is as deep as you want to dive into it.

What’s really nice about HA is being able to do whatever the fuck you want whenever you want. You can take it in bites buying devices in waves and tweaking automations in waves.

That’s how I’ve done it over the last 4 years or so.

I had the original Surface in college and it was excellent at the time.

It’s not that hard to imagine

Self report?

Vienna Sausages are similar. I love those things, but you have to rinse the slime off before eating.

What is CC

Those are the “park anywhere lights”.

This movie was such a perfect parody that it killed the music biopic genre for a while.

I hate how these kinds of things are always framed. The implied message is always that “AI” can autonomously decide to go of the rails. Similar to the Moltbot craze. The agents have to be told to go do the things they do. They don’t have free will.

Using a combination of network science and large language models, the same underlying technology that powers systems like ChatGPT, the researchers created and monitored synthetic bot agent personas, their posts, and their interactions with one another, simulating what a coordinated AI-powered social media network might look like.

So yeah, LLMs can used nefariously to great effect. They’re essentially more sophisticated bots.

Well, and there’s this ideology in this country that if you’re wealthy, it’s because to deserve to be because you’re a good person.

The flip side of that is the cops see the poor as generally up to no good.

I avoided that show for years because it looked like a typical raunchy adult cartoon.

I was very wrong.

Death’s Door was fun, but not nearly as creative and fresh as TUNIC. The puzzles in that game can never be repeated without being obvious. And I’m not talking about the language. You don’t need to decipher the language at all to complete the game.
