Australis13

This happened a while ago. The US has technically been in a constitutional crisis for months, as Trump was not actually eligible to run for president. There's been multiple violations since then, too.

That has to be Chaotic Evil.

I would probably put that as being similar to the "Chaotic Good" with ffmpeg.

If on Windows, there's Irfanview and its batch processing.

It's missing the "take a screenshot on your mobile phone" (which drives me nuts when people do this instead of sending me the link or the original photo).

I enjoy Peter Davison, but Season 21 was clearly where the writing was on the decline. I can barely watch Colin Baker's era and it has only been when I rewatched it with the production subtitles on that I finally understand why I don't like most of his stories:

• Eric Saward (script editor) tended to kill off the entire guest cast, so most of the stories have a bleak ending
• JNT thought violence was the main appeal of the show at that point, hence why the show was more violent during Colin's tenure
• Not only was it more violent, but it became more grotesque in Season 22 in particular
• Then on top of all that, Colin Baker wanted his doctor to have a character arc where he started out being unlikeable with manic mood changes, but would grow to be a likeable version over 3 years. By itself this would have been fine, but in combination with the other factors (plus the show almost getting axed after Season 22), it's just too much.

I haven't seen anything with Jodie Whittaker in it (apart from a few scenes of The Power of the Doctor) so I can't really comment on her acting. Chibnall really destroyed the show for me, though, with his childhood fanfic concept of the Timeless Child and the Fugitive Doctor (neither of which actually make any sense with the previous established canon - too many problems to go into here - and to me signal complete contempt for the show's history).

Basically!

No worries. Sadly this is one of the few places I have left without conflict - despite all my efforts and avoidance of personal comments, I always end up in a major conflict somewhere. Each of my hobby areas has been affected by it as well as my community group. I've had another conflict happen today because the people I was talking to couldn't see the significance of an issue I was trying to highlight, so I ended up being accused of putting forward a strawman (which of course makes me retreat as I feel threatened).

I sometimes wonder if part of the issue is that because I am detail and fact-oriented, I don't engage in conversations the way people expect and so they end up thinking I am being disingenous or have some ulterior motive (last month it was that I was clearly a government shill because I understood the details of a local project and trying to explain the facts to another member of the community). They also don't like it when I want to understand how they reached their opinion or (heaven forbid) I actually want to understand where I made a mistake in my reasoning (apparently people just don't do that).

I have heard good things about Heaven Sent, but the bits I saw of Hell Bent really put me off. Rassilon was badly miscast, the Doctor needlessly killed the general (which is just not him, not to mention the completely unnecessary cringe-worthy men-bashing dressed up as humour*) and Moffat's inability to actually commit to the ending of "Face the Raven" completely undermines the impact of that episode. I just don't see why I would spend my time when the payoff isn't worth it - whilst nobody's perfect (RTD's "Last of the Time Lords" was a mediocre resolution), Moffat rarely seems to wrap things up satisfactorily and I hated Matt Smith's final episode for that reason.

• To be clear, I have no issue with female Time Lords or female leads. I have an issue with writing that has to put down another gender, particularly for the sake of a joke, and that instance was salt in the wound for a scene that had already broken suspension of disbelief.

Each to their own. The writing declined with every season after Matt Smith's first (2010) and by the Capaldi era there were just too many things that were jolting me out of the show.

The irony is that, according to the article, it already does. What is changing is that the LLM will be able to use more of that data:

OpenAI is rolling out a new update to ChatGPT's memory that allows the bot to access the contents of all of your previous chats. The idea is that by pulling from your past conversations, ChatGPT will be able to offer more relevant results to your questions, queries, and overall discussions.

ChatGPT's memory feature is a little over a year old at this point, but its function has been much more limited than the update OpenAI is rolling out today... Previously, the bot stored those data points in a bank of "saved memories." You could access this memory bank at any time and see what the bot had stored based on your conversations.... However, it wasn't perfect, and couldn't naturally pull from past conversations, as a feature like "memory" might imply.

True. Here in Australia the rapid progression of the Trump administration has definitely resulted in some last-minute policy changes by our major conservative party. I don't believe they will honour their new campaign promises for a moment if they get into power, based on their previous behaviour, but it has been nice to see a bit of a reality check.
