Chess takes lots of time to get very good. Any actual scientist, professor or engineer doesn’t have the time.

Right but being from the same creator, and the aesthetics of this show, you can tell it’s trying to be. And by trying purposefully to draw the comparison, is just makes this show look bad.

This just made me start watching cowboy bebop for the 100th time. So far it doesn’t hold a candle it.
The premise, world development, and characters are all forced. Nothing like the subtle, beautiful show don’t tell world revealing of Bebop.

- Comment on This is unfair! 2 weeks ago:
I kinda get it, there was a pretty big difference between the lunch and dinner menu. The lunch was typical Chinese buffet, dinner had shrimp and crab legs and such. We just told him we’ll stay away from the crab legs if we paid for lunch.
- Comment on This is unfair! 2 weeks ago:
We used to go to the buffet after practice. My teammates and I would be so hungry we could do three or four plates. We’d usually get there around 4, and while we were there they’d transition from lunch to dinner, which had different food and was more expensive, but we’d paid for lunch.
It was technically allowed, but because we were doing it consistently, and just eating so much, the manager came up to our table to have a talk with us about it. Didn’t tell us to stop, but just tried to shame us. He said “I know what you’re doing”. We weren’t doing it on purpose, we just came in hungry when practice ended.

- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 4 weeks ago:
They’re super conservative. I rode just once in one. There was a parked ambulance down a side street about 30 feet with it’s lights one while paramedics helped someone. The car wouldn’t drive forward through the intersection. It just detected the lights and froze. I had to get out and walk. If we all drove that conservatively we’d also have less accidents and congest the city to undrivability.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 1 month ago:
This is hard to quantity. I use them constantly throughout my work day now.
Are they smarter than me? I’m not sure. Haven’t thought too much about it.
What they certainly are, and by a long shot, is faster. Given a set of data, I could analyze it and pull out insights and conclusions. It might take me a week or a month depending on the size and breadth of the data set. An LLM can pull out insights and conclusions in seconds.
I can read error stacks coming from my code, but before I’ve even read the first few lines the LLM has ingested all of them, checked the code, and reached a conclusion about the necessary fix. Is it right, optimal, and avoid creating other bugs? Like 75% at this point. I can coax it, interate on the solution my self, or do it entirely myself with the understanding of the bug that it granted me. This same bug might have taken hours to figure out myself.
My point is, I’m not sure how to compare smarter vs orders of magnitude faster.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 1 month ago:
They are literally sequels. 2 and 3. That removes any chance of them being unexpected now doesn’t it you dunce.
Ambitious, sure; if your definition of ambitious is delivering a complete game at release.
Weird? If you think these games are weird I’ll absolutely punish your eyeballs with just some stuff on steam that will leave these two games looking absolutely mainstream.

- Comment on The workplace is most toxic atmosphere I've ever experienced. No wonder they force us to buy necessities with this money they give us. 2 months ago:
Came to say the same. Work from home, permanent remote. I moved out to acreage in the middle of the forest to raise my family. Pretty dang happy, with good pay, especially for the area.
It can be stressful, but like, the fun stressful. Like a really hard puzzle that you feel great after figuring out. And then I just go outside and walk around my property when I need a break.
I’ve been advancing slowly. Manager asked if I wanted to manage people, naw dog, that’s not me. But slowly they’ve been putting me as lead on projects with others assigned to it also. It’s leading but not managing, still comes with pay raises so whatever, maybe I will manage one day.
Point is I’m happy.

No. Ostracizing just seems soo much more harmful. It seems kinda backwards to me. What’s an acceptable response and what’s not. That’s all.

No, I’m asking why can’t I just punch a guy who deserves it.

Right! Thank you, this is what I’m looking for.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
To clarify: I don’t have an issue. I have a coworker I’d like to punch. The alternative strategies I’m taking because I can’t punch him are leaving me feeling dirty.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
My follow-up thought. Would so many people not rather be hit once than ostracized forever from a group?
Isn’t a punch or a slap or a headlock better any social or mental punishment? It becomes almost therapeutic for both parties.
