Saw this and immediately thought of Dave the diver LOL

love his videos they’re somehow both hilarious and super catchy

so many good options on here already so I’ll add one that’s a little more of a dedicated game:

Arkham lcg.

you create a deck that represents the character you will play in a series of approximately eight games where you cooperatively work through Lovecraftian mysteries loaded with interesting stories lore and twists.

has almost a tabletop RPG feel to it if it was converted to a card game, absolutely love it.

I love Spirit Island so much.

though usually unless folks are also as into complicated stuff as I am I end up playing horizons of Spirit Island for a simplified experience

right now not a chance. it’s okay ish at simple scripts. it’s alright as an assistant to get a buggy draft for anything even vaguely complex.

ai doing any actual programming is a long ways off.

people look at this stuff as a yes or no and that’s a major misunderstanding.

I work in tech, and I can tell you 100% you could not just give a job to AI and call it a day.

I cannot even imagine this type of response generation ever being capable of that without developing some sort of true intelligence if for no other reason than to turn bad prompts by people who do not understand what they want or what is possible into functional projects.

that said, but I do believe is possible is that it makes like 5 to 10% of the job a little bit faster. programming is like 10 to 20% writing code and 80 to 90% understanding what that code should be and why it isn’t working that way yet.

Even the code you get from it is generally wrong but sometimes useful.

best case scenario I could see right now is not that it replaces jobs but that it makes people more effective, kind of like giving a framer a nail gun instead of a box of nails and a hammer except not that big of an efficiency gain.

ultimately this might mean you do the job with 8 people instead of 10, or something like that.

if it reduced the total number of jobs because it was a tool that made people more effective - did it take the job away?

how did you make this meme and miss your chance for “kalmala”

for shame

I can kind of get behind like Grandma renting out a house that she spent 30 years paying off so that she isn’t starving on social security alone kind of stuff.

maybe like an allowance that an individual could at most have one home they’re renting out. there should also be significant controls about the price of rent, maybe tied to the price of home purchases so that renters could not get screwed paying more than they would have had to pay to buy the place.

but in my opinion no corporation should be able to rent homes.

honestly even apartments should be required to have a lease own option that is not significantly different cost than renting.

if only Thetis had done what I do with Oreos and stuck a fork in to fully submerge!

yeah I’ve got 400 hours into the phone version alone lol. I’m stoked

I love some of the dangerous upgrade commands too, my favorite:

hdparm --fwdownload-mode7 firmwarefile.bin –yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing --please-destroy-my-drive /dev/sdb

thank you for the explanation that is a lot more understandable now.

hostages being released in order to stop the violence is what I was thinking.

but you’re saying it’s more like losing leverage in order to temporarily pause the violence.

they would have nothing left to bargain with and would just have to hope the world actually cares enough to step in.

I can definitely see why they wouldn’t want to do that

maybe I am missing something that I don’t see why that is an objectionable position? like obviously the ceasefire needs to happen immediately but what is wrong with hostage release as part of it?

not that long ago politicians were doing anything they could to avoid the word ceasefire and now they’re actively calling for it I’m really not thinking that this is an unchanged position but I am willing to listen if I have some drastic misunderstanding.

honestly doesn’t it seem like this change of direction is him listening? Even weeks ago I would have never thought I would have heard the words ceasefire out of his mouth.

to me this seems like a direct response of the message people sent to him with the Michigan primary and I am happy to see it.

doesn’t mean I’m happy with what he’s done so far or even that he has not immediately taken direct action but this is a pivot and failing to acknowledge it weakens protest actions like this in the future.

no one that has used it would be surprised by that.

also did they write the study with ChatGPT?

I definitely spent a frustrated 45 minutes trying to figure out why curl wasn’t working when it was supposed to be supported in PowerShell.

then I hit tab a couple of times and noticed curl.exe was an option, that works exactly the same as I had expected with original syntax.

they do this to a lot of things though a lot of common commands end up being an alias to a powershell command with a specific option set that doesn’t always line up

oh great I’m sure the training for this will not result in a bunch of things getting “reviewed” and no one being responsible for mistakes at all…

I need to know where you got that awesome picture for my cosmic horror TTRPG sessions lol

what game is it?

exactly lol, not too bad after you learn a few things.

also vim adventures is a fun way to learn!
