Not an item but I gave my players a talking pig with a Scottish accent. He was also a huge dick. I had stuff planned for it but they killed and ate it.

If you take the rocket and let it sink into the ocean, you don’t even need fuel.

I also think location has to do with it. The dev team behind Coromon are in Europe while both Nintendo and the Palworld devs are in Japan.

From what I understand from a previous article, japanese patent laws can be quite strict.

Are you happy? Is the vibe nice? Are people friendly? Are you being paid a fair amount or can you get more at an other job? Do they respect your private life, are they stressing you out? How is the commute?

There are other things to consider then industry best practices. You might very well end up in a place that treats you like shit, is much farther and let’s you go the moment they don’t need you.

I overpressure myself, as if I was constipated, each time I get cravings. I basically make my body as uncomfortable as I can so it learns that cravings=pain.

In the past, I’ve used hand rolled tobacco to ween myself off. It’s a lot harder to just grab a smoke when driving for instance. But cold turkey is best. I usually wait until I get sick before starting stopping since it tends to skip the nasty craving in the first few days. After a week or two, it gets much easier.

Remember, having a smoke every now and then will work until it doesn’t.

You can add Gaben to that list. Steam can do no wrong even though Gaben spend between 75 and 100 million per year on maintenance for his yatch fleet.

Billionaire simps disgust me.

Hard to say, I would start with a macropad. There are a lot of project out there so you can browse around until you find something you like.

Here is a recent one: https://hackaday.com/2024/10/21/zero-to-custom-macropad-in-37-easy-steps/

It requires quite a bit of skills and tools, although jlcpcb can solder on the components for you so you can focus on only designing if you wish.

I would use Kicad to make the schematic and pcb, and Fusion 360 for any 3d modeling. Fusion has a free non commercial version, you just have to find it. They kind of hide it on their main website.

I like phils lab on YouTube for pcb design stuff but he isn’t exactly beginner friendly and mainly focuses on audio related things.

Lemmy let’s them respond to you even when blocked. Kind of funny to block someone for harassment and still see a comment removed pop up behind one of my comments a few hours later.

I find it fair in a way, I just wish it hid it from me completely since curiosity usually gets the best out of me. I’ve only had to block one person this whole time anyways, so it’s really not the end of the world either.

If you cant find one, making your own keyboard isn’t too difficult. It’s a great hobby project and there’s a lot of ressources online to build one.

Will someone convert these heathens to capitalism already. Don’t they understand that you are only suppose to lease from private individuals and corporations, it just works.

Why use a search engine at all when you can have your browser directly text your mom.

That’s not their approval rating, just their home ownership rate.

It’s 400 hours of audio, the transcripts ended up being 5 million words, and only snippets of it are useful.

These important limitations highlight why it’s still important to have humans involved in the analysis process here. The NYT notes that, after querying its LLMs to help identify “topics of interest” and “recurring themes,” its reporters “then manually reviewed each passage and used our own judgment to determine the meaning and relevance of each clip… Every quote and video clip from the meetings in this article was checked against the original recording to ensure it was accurate, correctly represented the speaker’s meaning and fairly represented the context in which it was said.”

It’s literally the paragraph right after.

They verify it.

I was actually thinking of setting up something similar for the mountain of ufo related docs they keep dropping every few months. They tend to use obscure words and even slip in typos so just searching through them doesn’t work very well.

publicly-traded German high-performance computing (HPC) firm ParTec AG, whose CEO Bernhard Frohwitter has considerable expertise in patent monetization.

“Patent monetization” is an interesting way to put it.

As a side note, I love how the article is structured.

Whisper has been known to hallucinate during long moments of silence. Most of their examples though are most likely due to bad audio quality.

I use whisper quite a bit and it will fumble a word here or there but never to the extent that is being shown in the article.

You would need a pretty good thickness of water and it becomes complicated shipping it up into space.

Every other store, but at a higher price point.

It’s the same shit everywhere, the government is just making sure you can’t buy direct.

“I’m usually turning around and stopping the operation to see a CT scan; looking to see what happened with the endoscopy [another small camera that provides a closer look at organs]; looking at the monitor for the heart rate,” Horgan says.

Horgan says that wearing headsets during surgeries has improved his effectiveness while lowering his risk of injury.

Just if it wasn’t clear to anyone else.
