I play video games while exercising. Switch controllers in either hand while walking on a treadmill works really well.

I haven't been depressed in a while, but I found extreme cardio to be a really good mood lifter, especially when playing a fun game.

I would also recommend avoiding triggers. News is mental poison. I have no idea what is happening in the world and I am substantially happier as a result.

I was going to say Auron. He's my favorite.

That's the thing. Being just as fair doesn't necessarily imply it's equally travelled. Even being worn the same doesn't necessarily mean equally traveled, although it strongly implies it. I think the final line is so certain that it overrides the earlier lines and implies to the unwary reader that these similar paths actually were differently travelled.

I don't expect self contradiction in a story / poem. So that certainty of there being a difference overrides all.

It's only after reading the author's intentions that I know for sure that the contradiction was intended and that was actually the point of the poem.

As I said before, this makes me like the poem even more now.

Even after rereading the poem I had to read the Wikipedia analysis section to be convinced you are right. It's a very subtle poem, which, honestly, just makes it better.

From the article:

“Our technology can be thought of as ‘indirect air capture’ because the ocean will take more carbon dioxide out of the air above it to replace the carbon dioxide that we’re removing.” Hornbostel said.

It is absolutely ai. The experience of talking with chatgpt is so human like that it just blows my mind. What I've learned so far is that human brains aren't nearly as magical as they seem.

I thought the main obstacle was the computing power to update 175 billion neurons with large datasets. You probably could generate a good llm just using Wikipedia, but I think it requires a room full of expensive video cards to do.

The Google response seems to agree with you, but this Berkeley study says the opposite:

So, the train just plows into the water and keeps on going?

Wait, is this a good genie wish or an evil genie wish? I feel like the spirit of the wish would make me forget sequels to any movie I specify or that'd just make it impossible to properly forget.

Meh. Disagree. It holds up in my opinion. But, we all have our opinions.

 

Sometimes I get language not allowed when I try to reply to a post or message. Seems odd given that the post is in English.

 

How can I light a 10 foot square room so it seems like a sunny day? I am painting here and want the night look to match what I see during the day.

Do I need multiple lamps around the room at lower intensities? Sunlight temperature bulbs don't look like sunlight to me.

I remember this game really affecting me, particularly because I got a bad ending and didn't realize it has multiple endings.

Highly recommended if you like adventure games.

The story it's based on is, of course, fantastic too.

How did this game feel to others?

 

There is no limit to what can fit in your suitcase if you are ok with creating a singularity.

 

It's just dispiriting to type a long comment then find it can't be saved.
