Sure mattered for the US election, eh?

Food without spices.

Transformers are probably AGI, at a mathematical level. But that’s just an architecture (likely a wildly inefficient one), not an implementation of that architecture (modern LLMs).

If he wants to stop the war, that means he thinks he will lose.

Yikes, that just means no elections ever. It’s impossible to be free of interference.

Everyone knows that the ceasefire was just reputation damage control. They always fully intended on finishing this genocide.

All very interesting thoughts, I went through basically that whole conflict myself the first time I decided to not finish a puzzle.

Here’s how I look at it: a puzzle is fundamentally a challenge to see if you can solve it. (Maybe people will disagree with me on that, but in my mind, that’s what it is.) So as soon as I have finished enough of it that I can say “Yep, I’ve solved it. Only trivial moves are left. Even a baby could finish this puzzle.” it no longer is a puzzle to me. I’ve proven that I can do it, and that is the satisfying part to me.

If someone else has a different goal for puzzles (eg. they want to view the unblemished art) then maybe that line of thinking doesn’t really follow. As with all games, you can decide how to play - do whatever brings you the most satisfaction.

That actually brings me to another point. There is immense social pressure in games to play the games the “right” way. However, there is no wrong way to enjoy your recreation time (as long as you are not harming someone of course). Rule books are a suggestion, not a fact of life. Heck, there are more house rules in Monopoly than there are real rules.

Anyway, sorry about the rant, your line of thought was very interesting to me, thank you for sharing!

I like to build puzzles except for the last piece, just to prove to myself that finishing most tasks is a societal pressure, not an existential one.

Oh no doubt. China is winning the diplomatic game because they are cleaning up all the bridges the west is burning.

It would cost $8 billion for Cuba to generate around 93% of its electricity from renewables

One hero billionaire could liberate an entire nation. But they care more about their money than humans.

Yeah I’ve used Rufus before to provision large numbers of windows machines… if this helps preserve the local account setup that’s a big deal to my workflow.

Huh that could be quite useful, I’ll keep that in mind next time I need to do maintenance on a friend’s computer.

Can it be easily set up without a Microsoft account?

Trump was the green energy champion we needed all along!

Am I talking more slowly? No, it must be time that’s wrong.

Only creepy because they’ve taken off the mask now. They were stalking you before, they just were more quiet about it.

They have attention to detail, just not the right details. It’s super easy for them to get lost in a never ending train of tangents.

Taking the best of both worlds (lol) doesn’t put you in the middle of the two things, it lets you surpass them.

It’s a marketing pitch. They’re showing why the US should buy their tech

An operating system can lie about that though. The only reason it doesn’t is because of convention.

There is no technical reason it couldn’t look like a different OS. Try changing your user agent, it’s that simple in most cases.
