They really have drained the word of all meaning in one go

Microsoft Word automatically converts a double dash to an em dash too

London really showed up for the Palestine protests a couple weeks ago

I only played it late, after they basically gave you free legendary stuff, so I can definitely see that being a dealbreaker

Had a lot of fun playing it with friends for a few weeks. People are haters.

That’s wild!!

This is very well done, thank you!

Probably not the lowest cost possible but connect by t-mobile (prepaid) is a reliable option for $15 a month in the US

Non-techie requesting a laymen explanation if anyone has time!

After reading a couple of”what makes nvidias h100 chips so special” articles I’m gathering that they were supposed to have a significant amount more computational capability than their competitors (which I’m taking to mean more computations per second). So the question with deepseek and similar is something like ‘how are they able to get the same results with less computations?’ and the answer is speculated to be more efficient code/instructions for the AI model so it can make the same conclusions with less computations overall, potentially reducing the need for special jacked up cpus to run it?

lol they did say they need a consultant, maybe you would qualify just based off relative knowledge

Me playing Another Crab’s Treasure over break

Main character hard to relate to

I bought the Runtastic six pack abs trainer and butt trainer (one time $5 fee for each app) several years ago and have gone through each program a number of times with excellent results. Especially considering the workouts were only about 10-15 minutes each (so 30 minutes to do one of each). These apps have been discontinued for new downloads but I bet you could fine similar apps for free or cheap that don’t require subscriptions.

“Lipocartilage’s resilience and stability provide a compliant, elastic quality that’s perfect for flexible body parts such as earlobes or the tip of the nose, opening exciting possibilities in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, particularly for facial defects or injuries,” said corresponding author Maksim Plikus, UC Irvine professor of developmental and cell biology. “Currently, cartilage reconstruction often requires harvesting tissue from the patient’s rib – a painful and invasive procedure. In the future, patient-specific lipochondrocytes could be derived from stem cells, purified and used to manufacture living cartilage tailored to individual needs. With the help of 3D printing, these engineered tissues could be shaped to fit precisely, offering new solutions for treating birth defects, trauma and various cartilage diseases.”

I always want to call media mainly about hackers ‘cypherpunk’

But Reddit also seems to be inconsistently removing the manifesto, as we were able to find a link to the manifesto in Reddit search without much work. Reddit’s new AI-powered Answers tool also showed me information about the manifesto and where I could find it.

hehe

This article someone posted the other day was on a similar topic except it explored (via anecdotes from interviews— long-form journalism style) companion chatbots for adults and how various companies going under or changing their tech/goals was impacting the people using the software.

Super interesting how quickly people anthropomorphize them— though the fact that people get sad when you name a pencil then snap it in half seems consistent with this behavior.

Once our neighbor’s cat Butter was hanging out and asking for food and wouldn’t leave so we called the neighbor who said Butter was actually at home. We named kitty Chiffon instead.

“Lawful wiretaps” smh

This didn’t really fit in my ancient history sub, but too interesting not to share somewhere!
