100% agree, other than the ratio of countries that can legitimately create a PSN account (and/or buy the game).

Otherwise, seems just like the Games For Windows live stuff that people didn’t love but certainly didn’t care this much about.

E.g. Fallout 3, pre-goty.

I have the same problem, and honestly I can just about force the thin side of the floss between my teeth but it’ll get stuck sometimes (as the tight part is the top of the tooth), which is just not great.

The brushes, which I was excited for and bought the smallest size of, will only fit under the problem area - and are uncomfy.

So I use them to clean electronics 😅

I’d feel bad for the seventeen folk who managed a platinum through a terrifying grind if that were erased 😅

I don’t hate it as an answer except in this case where it can be read as “because I’m not like Walz” (who’s teetotal, I think), and “we’re not the other guy” is just so boring.

Or it might be genuinely down to his like of beer, in which case it’s just a bit of a mediocre answer.

Yeah, I enjoyed the ability previously to have an opportunity to paint up a small squad of a random army I wouldn’t collect otherwise.

This change not only removes that, but also kills my interest in killteam, to be honest. But I’m someone who liked the customisation from v1, so I’m clearly not the target 😅

I’ll be honest, I’m very confused about what you mean when you say that Google Wallet isn’t a thing. I pay with my Android phone everywhere, so ubiquitously that I’ve frequently left the house with just my phone and keys.

Do you mean America, where contactless payment is far less frequently accepted, or the concept of clicking on a “Pay with Google Wallet” style prompt on a website?

I enjoyed reading this, thank you.

How about two drinks, plus a free drink from the airline you’re flying per half hour delayed? Seems more reasonable.

I feel like you may be arguing with someone who is making an Always Sunny reference.

I’m not saying everything in the world has been done, but “what, like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?”

Wow, I didn’t realise that was still about! I’m tempted to go check it out again!

Ha, me’tal gymnastics.

Yeah, though a nice thing for those who need it my immediate worry was “well, this may mean companies lean further into tipping because yay tax free” rather than working towards just paying workers.

Humtum.

Yeah, what’s the jokey parable thing?

A CTO is at lunch when a call comes in. There’s been a huge outage, caused by a low level employee pressing the wrong button.
“Damn, you going to fire that guy?”
“Hell no, do you know how much I just spent on training him to never do that again?”

(</Blah>)

The only sad thing is that it seems like they’re (still?) only talking about the other side’s policy, rather than backing their own policy based on its strength.

Just “I’m not the other side” (but at least with policy rather than personality)

The Xreal Air~, or the just-being-released Xreal Air 2 Ultra, is potentially that.

Oled displays and cameras for tracking objects and hands.

Edit: also just saw this

1. I think you’re on the wrong community for this question.

2. The thing regularly referred to as “AI” of late is more accurately referred to as generative AI, or large language models. There’s no capacity for learning from humans, it’s pattern matching based on large sets of data that are boiled down to a series of vectors to give a most-likely next word for a response to a prompt. You could argue that that’s what people do, but that’s a massive over simplification. You’re right to say it does not have the ability to form thoughts and views. That said, like a broken clock, an LLM can put out words that match up with existing views pretty darn easily!

You may be talking about general AI, which is something we’ve not seen yet and have no timeframe for existing. That may be able to have beliefs… But again, there’s not even a suggestion of that being close to happening. LLMs are (in my opinion) not even a good indicator or precursor to that coming soon.

TL;DR: An LLM (or generative AI) can’t have or form beliefs.

Have you got a source for that?

A quick search suggests that generating an image consumes between 0.01 and 0.29 kWhs (quite a range, so let’s hit the middle and use 0.14kWh), while playing Cyberpunk on a PS5 pulls about 200W, so ~0.2kWh per hour.

Seems pretty comparable, assuming you only generate a few images an hour… but if you were generating dozens, it seems like you’d overtake gaming pretty quickly.

Edit: I apologise, I took the Google summary of an article at face value. Clicking through to the linked article here actually says per 1,000 image generations which is far lower. Urgh, though actually the article also says 0.01 to 0.29 kWh. I’m just going to find another article. 🤦 If you did have a source with numbers, I’d still be interested in seeing it!

It’s clearly down to the increase in visible moustache-twirling villains in the news, saying stuff like “and I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids.”

Or something.

Personally, I’m also annoyed at the increased use of “needs done”, which feels like it’s missing half a sentence. But hey, languages are big - and can fit a lot of different usage.
