  Reminds me of the beach scene in Top Secret!

  God I love this series

  You may want to use a higher resolution image if you want to demonstrate this effectively

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Balatro Mobile - Official Release Date Trailer (Sept 26!)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck yeah bro. I’m about to break my social media addiction with an even more powerful addiction

  Also if you believe the stories ive heard from pizza chains like Papa Johns and Domino’s, sawdust is regularly added to pizza dough to make it cheaper to produce

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motivation⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. The undergrad paper that led me to pursue a PhD was a response to a published paper that didn’t use a control group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Washington's Lottery AI site turned user photo into porn⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t it also have to do with the previous requests the LLM has recieved? In order for this thing to “learn” it has to know what people are looking for, so i’ve always imagined the porn problem as being a result of the fact that people are using these things to generate porn at a much greater volume than anything else, especially porn of women, so it defaults to nude because that’s what most requests were looking for

  We’ve had trouble with Brother products as well unfortunately

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rooster Teeth Shut Down By Warner Bros. Discovery⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Man I’m glad I stopped watching after volume 3 then. I remember thinking that the early seasons weren’t great aside from some action sequences, and that maybe once they got the ball rolling they could do the story more justice. But it needed to get better after V3, not worse lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My jaw hit the floor when I watched an AI master one of the world's toughest physical games in just six hours⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not really surprised, the main challenge of that game is motor control, something any machine can do with more precision than a human

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sly Cooper - What Happened to This Iconic Platformer?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved all 3 games as a kid, and I think it did a lot of things right for a game of that era. I think it’s at least surprising that it never had a remake or a more modern iteration, considering other remakes like ratchet & clank, rayman, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comcast reluctantly agrees to stop its misleading “10G Network” claims | Comcast said it will drop "Xfinity 10G Network" brand name after losing appeal.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish whoever maintains this bot would figure out how to stop it from stating the same information 3-4 times in the title and the body of the post

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Started playing minecraft again, wanted something cozy to play during the holidays. I always end up committing to a really big build and then lose interest halfway through, so we’ll see how it goes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I finished Chants of Sennaar a couple nights ago, it was a lot of fun. Language-based puzzle game inspired by the Tower of Babel. It’s very pretty to look at, and a lot of the puzzles were really clever. My only real complaint is that I was really expecting the final level to be much more difficult, requiring me to do a lot of synthesizing of ideas from previous levels, but instead the final puzzles were pretty easy and linear. I’d still recommend it though, the first 80% of the game is great, and if you get that far, you’ll probably have the momentum to finish, the end doesn’t take that long.

  Also a fan of Unbound! My last run I tried whatever setting it is that makes it so that all fully evolved pokemon have the same stat totals, which really made the game feel different and like I actually had options for building a team. Although I still found myself thinking “oh I can’t put butterfree on my team, it’s too weak”

  My favorite hack is Gaia, it doesn’t have as many features as Unbound but it’s got the right vibes for a pokemon game while still having increased difficulty and QOL stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok Is Shutting Down its $2 Billion Creator Fund⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Some creators do get support from patreon, but most of those creators are on other platforms. I’m betting that this move pushes those creators out to focus on their other platforms, which will lead to a drastic drop in quality content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Fiber is getting outrageously fast 20Gbps service⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Google Fiber was planned to install in my city, but their only way of delivering service to most neighborhoods was by digging into the roads to lay cables and then covering it up with rubber. Well, they did a terrible job with the roads, tons of damage and potholes, and then they “cancelled” Fiber, so it was all for nothing. You can’t even get Fiber in my city now, even though the uncancelled it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Curse review: Emma Stone comes up trumps again in this brilliantly unsettling new television comedy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Like in Euchre

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a tale as old as time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah IMO this is more than youtube drama, this is someone threatening Jack and his wife by showing her fans where he lives

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dwarf Fortress - Adventure Mode Roadmap & FAQ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Complicated is fine, it was the whole “things are happening on several different floors in your base and everything is happening in real time, so you have to constantly pause to handle everything”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dwarf Fortress - Adventure Mode Roadmap & FAQ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Very excited for adventure mode. The colony builder was overwhelming to me, but I want to support the game, so I feel like a single-character adventure would be perfect

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speaking of Klingon counselors...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  At least its not the other kind of CBT

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let your dreams be memes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As a recent PhD, yeah. A lot of people im my department are pretty isolated. When I was a grad student I felt pretty connected to the outside world because I was a worker, now I need to make sure I dont isolate myself

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨15 More Free to Play Overwhelmingly Positive Steam Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t surprise me that he didn’t like it. It lampshades how the themes of the original game are not actually as profound as he says they are, while also being way more fun than the majority of the original

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Says He Might Put X/Twitter Behind A Paywall⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Given how he’s been doing things recently, you can expect a paywall to be added by next week sometime

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's the highest increase in salary you've had or seen?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m fresh out of grad school, and the shift from 22k to 60k has been life changing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait, is Unity allowed to just change its fee structure like that? | Confusing, contradictory terms of service clauses leave potential opening for lawsuits.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, I hadnt even thought about that. A class on Unity right now would be only a month in, and those professors are probably agonizing over whether to continue teaching a course on an engine that might not even be a relevant skill by the time the semester is over, or desperately try to switch gears and teach something completely different. I don’t envy that decision, prepping a new course in the middle of a semester is a nightmare

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A.I. tools fueled a 34% spike in Microsoft’s water consumption, and one city with its data centers is concerned about the effect on residential supply⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but I assume you’d have to build extra infrastructure for that, which is expensive. They might now consider it worth it if they continue to need that much water, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Maltese Falcon - 1941 - Starring Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor, directed by John Huston⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Colin Mochrie’s “Maltese Burger” bit from Whose Line Is It Anyway is always what I think of first when I hear about this movie, which of course is what he based it on.
