Wait 'til you see it working.

Thank you for the kind words. I know this theoretically, but it’s still a boon to hear I’m not alone occasionally fighting this beast.

Downwards spiral into anxious decompensation. Again. Now slowly climbing out of the hole. It’s so fucking painful, but it gets better.

You’re not dumb and we don’t have a flawless experience… but me and my son aren’t nearly having as much trouble as you. Maybe you’re unlucky with hardware support. For some it does “pretty much” works. I’m genuinely glad you’re sticking to it some more and I hope you continue learning and that your experience gets smoother.

Thanks! I’ve had to fiddle a bit with my Bluetooth transmitter on every boot, but with FastConnectable = true there’s a notable improvement. (I’m on Mint.)

It clawed too 💅

I recalled differently so I looked it up. Here’s a video of a random person claiming their points. No code-in-box, just the console phoning Nintendo with cartridge inserted.

Nothing is stored to tie carts to hardware or accounts.

Do you remember the discontinued gold points program? For any brand new physical cartridge you could claim equivalent to 1% the game’s price. Obviously the points could only be claimed once, by a single account. This seems to point pretty strongly to carts being uniquely identifiable and to Nintendo’s ability of keeping track of usage.

Both translation and subtitles have highly efficient tooling when in the hands of a professional. Translators nowadays use a mix and will build up a dynamic database as they go through a corpus that needs coherence. What’s bad in this instance is not the usage of some AI, but of a badly adapted AI and ultimately of mediocre results which gives an amateurish impression.

sunk cost fallacy let’s gooo

So that we can discuss the issue without triggering abuse survivors would be a reason.

Some non peer reviewed paper with a tiny sample size is hardly enough to go “The Science has spoken”. On the other hand, one can make an appeal to the intuitive idea that lack of practice implies lack of skill.

This immediately points to the pernicious effects of touting LLMs as a machine to do all the thinking for you. Heck, the enthusiasts are even using LLMs to do their social interactions for them.

This is a warning to people as much as workplaces: is this task you’re offloading to LLMs really a skill you want to see atrophied?

So you take a small round slice from a fresh baguette and toast it. While still hot you put some brie or camembert on the toast. The point is for the cheese to get a little sweaty byt not runny. Finally cut a date open, pit it, spread it on top of the cheese. Heaven.

Who is this fear mongering creep?

Anyways this video goes into some detail instead of ominously saying jack shit and it sounds like this Enrico guy was mostly busy shuffling code around and breaking stuff, then pivoted into a crusade against DEI. Doesn’t fit the persecuted savior story.

Technology induced problem solved by yet another layer of problematic tech. Capitalism, ho!

What’s the relation with Mint and the UK?

But but but, Libre Office isn’t an operating system! Now I’m curious what distro they’ve adopted.

Kind of half related, but Microsoft loves to fuck with dual booting as well in various ways. Just last year a security patch broke dual booting, required a complicated workaround to get out of, and was only properly fixed 9 months later. Historically some “fast boot” shenanigans have been known to actually be “fucking with linux dual boot”. At this point if I need Windows for some adulting, it’s done in a virtual machine. Microsoft has simply lost their privilege to bare metal access on my PC.

EDIT: Stories like this post are disheartening though, since they show that Microsoft can use their weight to make everyone else’s experience worst even if you completely avoid them.

North of the frontier defunding the CBC sometimes comes up too unfortunately. The conservatives serve us the same arguments: accusations of CBC being partisan and of being radical left.
