Similarly, VLC names their releases after Discworld characters. It’s a fun way to make major versions feel like more than just a number increment.

It gets called that everywhere. Most people never need to know the actual specs for a screw, so language diverges from the classification system.
I usually keep the corrections to myself, but when somebody else is already correcting someone and they say the wrong thing too it becomes hard.
Flathead is a description of the head profile, like panhead. Slotted is the screwdriver type that is just a single slot.
I can’t stress how much Teams and Zoom have disrupted traditional voice and collaboration, which was a cash cow for Cisco.
Yep. The company I work for stripped out all the Cisco desk phones last week. All the phone numbers just map to Teams now.
Cheaper, less hardware to troubleshoot, and better suited to hybrid work.
It might make me smarter, but it makes me feel dumb.
I’ve been playing Gamedle recently. I tend to discover interesting games both as answers and while researching the info I have.
Pork?! These are all beef, baby.
More biomes don’t fix the fundamental flaw in the design. It treats planets the same way Raft treats islands. They become purely a resource hunt for the player, no matter what skin they have.
Raft gets away with it by having your base travel with you, being incredibly hostile, and being short enough that the loop doesn’t get tiring.
NMS and Starbound struggle from the same issues. Infinite tiered worlds end up feeling the same, but also remove all meaning from the exploration. In Minecraft or Terraria you aren’t going to be flying to a totally new place in five minutes, so you want to get to know your surroundings and put down some roots.
Travel time and not having tiered world progression makes the player care about where they are at instead of seeing it as a stepping stone.
I was in a record store a few months ago, saw a copy of Switched on Bach, thought it would be interesting, and picked it up. Blew me away. Then I googled it, learned the story and how groundbreaking it was.
Now I’ve got a few albums of hers from that era. Great stuff.
There are various methods, but from a practical standpoint it is gone regardless.
They are trans.
People still sculpt. Go look up Bobby Fingers on YouTube to get an idea of what sculpting looks like.
There are a variety of clays. From what I hear, most sculptors use some form of air-dry, not firing clay like pottery would use.
Nobody ever sculpted in marble. You would sculpt in clay, make a plaster mold, fine-tune the design, then meticulously transfer it to marble.
They have two avenues to make money:
Generative AI doesn’t get any training in use. The explosion in public AI offerings falls into three categories:
To make a good model you need two things:
User data might meet need 2, but it fails at need 1. Running random data through neural networks to make it more exploitable (more accurate interest extraction, etc) makes sense, but training on that data doesn’t.
This is clearly demonstrated by Google’s search AI, which learned lots of useful info from Reddit but also learned absurd lies with the same weight. Not just overtuned-for-confidence lies, straight up glue-the-cheese-on lies.
The article seems to have misunderstood the stats that he provided.
He was showing crashes of a single component of Nvidia drivers while running Warframe. Any crashes within Warframe proper aren’t included.
It still demonstrates that a CPU flaw is causing stability issues in areas that are rock-solid for everyone else.
Warhammer or Gears of War?
I can only think of one TPS currently released (another on the way) in the Warhammer series. It’s more known for strategy and tactics games.
Banks like to think that branch employees (bank tellers) are sales people. Most of them give ‘goals’ to each employee requiring them to open a certain number of new accounts, land a certain number of loans, etc each week/month. It isn’t ethical since the only people you can really sell on those services are the ones who should least get them. Anyone who actually wants/needs the services will come to you.
Wells Fargo differed from the rest of the industry by setting completely impossible goals, not just unethical ones. This led to them developing a culture where signing people up for services they didn’t agree to became commonplace.
His ultranationalist coalition partners have threatened to bring down his government if he ends the war without destroying Hamas.
His government is coming down then. You can’t destroy an insurgency through non-social means.
Babylon Bee promptly started posting ‘satire’ pieces about Clinton whining about Russian interference the moment the news dropped. The right’s response appears to be to connect this to the prior cases, which they already got people to believe a false narrative about.
