The DNC made clear today that all Democrats, including millions who are AIPAC members, have the right to participate fully in the Democratic process, and we plan to do just that," AIPAC spokesperson Deryn Sousa told ABC News.

All those AIPAC members can fuck off, their money is going toward perpetuating war and genocide.

Citizens United, and PACs in general, have done nothing but make this country’s politics more and more toxic and here the DNC couldn’t even pass a symbolic resolution against one of the worst of them.

Yeah, couldn’t care less if Chrome is faster when it is controlled by Google and actively working against extensions.

Not to mention we crossed a performance line maybe 10 years ago where browser engines on modern processors are basically trivial. Once we started having 8+ threads and the browsers got smart enough to leverage them, I’d bet bandwidth (or memory if you have many tabs), is a way more typical bottleneck.

I wish they wouldn’t call this a reboot, it’s almost the entire OG cast, for one, and IIRC these four episodes are all they’re doing. This review criticises it for feeling like a reunion special but that’s what it is.

I’ll watch the episodes, but I think it’s silly to expect anything more than a nostalgia bomb.

I read the post, but as I mentioned elsewhere, how are devs (or malicious commercial thieves looking for public domain code) supposed to detect this code is an LLM creation when all of the obvious signs they mention are stripped?

A ban on people using an LLM in secret is unenforceable and the code output can be indistinguishable from a human’s, especially when a real human that understands the change is there to baby it and write commit messages etc.

Fuck you, Ellison and Paramount. I’d rather watch the franchise die than turn into fanfic for fascists anyway.

How are the devs or anyone else supposed to tell that though, if all the LLM trappings are absent?

That seems pretty good to me? I hate LLMs, but this policy is basically “if it’s obviously LLM garbage or you don’t understand it, it will be rejected” and I’m not sure it’s practical to do better.

People will use LLMs behind the scenes, but if they are able to write a coherent justification with clear understanding of the code, receive feedback from devs and rework it, as well as submitting code that is well structured etc. it’s not really any different than any other PR.

I don’t hate the Kelvinverse movies, I appreciate they’re in a separate timeline and they can be fun popcorn movies. Movie Trek is always a different angle.

That said, I wonder what Star Trek Discovery looks like if it was trying to follow TV Trek’s footsteps instead of being JJ-esque lensflare and martial arts. Seems like they had to make a few crappy shows just to triangulate that people want to take their time and get to know a crew like they did in the older series.

I watched the pilot for this show and it didn’t really grab me, did it get good eventually?

No, that women will dress provocatively and then shame people that actually look at them.

Also been enjoying Pokopia and have totally fallen prey to the “I’ll just wander around and rebuild stuff” play style, completely ignoring the story until I feel like I have to get to the next zone.

10/10 would wander aimlessly spamming blocks with Pokemon friends in tow anytime. I can’t express how happy I am to have something to do other than beat the shit out of cute animals to capture them.

Great view. I appreciate you posting here.

I really don’t have any problem with any of these types of achievements in general. Even the super basic ones that you get by starting a game are useful to determine what percentage of people who own the game have actually played it beyond the menu screen.

The best achievements are ones you get for being clever, skilled, or dedicated. Or when it’s an unhidden achievement for something you didn’t even know was possible. Like the BG3 achievement for saving the goblin Sazza - just seeing it was possible made my next play through more interesting.

I do appreciate long ending achievements, but only if they indicate a significantly different playthrough. Good ending vs. bad ending works when that’s the result of many decisions and not just an option you chose ten minutes from the end.

I’ve been enjoying the series and his character specifically. I love how empathetic he is, just trying to make everyone in his world seen and cared for. I don’t even register he’s the same guy from Stranger Things to be honest. Hope the show sticks the landing.

Eh, it makes sense for Steam share, this data is entirely gaming users. It would be a mistake to try to relate this to overall market share though.

I’m also generally skeptical, but the fact that it’s a coupon code and a token amount makes me think it’s legit. You shouldn’t need to give up any personal info to redeem a coupon.

Death panels are a classic example of criticizing socialism by describing capitalism.

Piracy if you absolutely must.

It always blows my mind how much of a heel JKR is. All billionaires are bastards, but you have to be among the worst people on earth to use your billions to be a high profile bigot.

Yeah, it’s really hard to judge a stage set that’s obviously incomplete and unlit. This could end up looking great… Or it could end up as a cringe inducing memory for years to come.

We all need more Le Guin in our lives.
