Currently boycotting nintendo ... by playing their games on an emulator, lol!

Have fun, Nintendo. The hydra will have 3 more heads tomorrow.

And my pirate bay copy of Ryujinx still works.

Well, if we've got to come up with a movement for each and every of the cops' crimes, we're going to be here all day, just making names for new movements.

(I am kind of making the assumption that their perfect, all-powerful AI, once developed, would also be a bit more efficient than current models, allowing it to more easily run on consumer-grade hardware. Also, in the meantime, consumer-grade hardware is only getting better and more powerful.)

You can ask an LLM to vibe-code you a new model from scratch, but pre-training it you’re gonna be limited by the resources you have available

Why would you ask the uber-LLM to code you a new model that hasn't been trained yet? Just ask it to give you one that already has all the training done and the weights figured out. Ask it to give you one that's ready to go, right out of the box.

We've already got that. It's called ACAB.

For me, the permanent cure for hiccups was being in the hospital with broken ribs. Getting a case of the hiccups when you have broken ribs is not fun.

With pain as my teacher, I quickly learned how to stop hiccups with willpower alone. And I've been able to do it ever since. I get one hiccup, tell myself "that's the last one", and it is.

or if I should try to find a good quality version instead, since what I usually find is in the supermarket where it’s almost universally cheap junk

Or take the opportunity to check the second-hand market for it! Craigslist/FB marketplace, thrift shops, ebay (used, private seller), garage sales, etc. Tends to be a lot cheaper, great for the environment (because less resources needed for new production and less stuff in landfills), and keeps your money away from evil corporations.

Why would you ever have a backlog in the first place? Why would you buy a game and then not play it?

Put the games you want to play in the future on your wishlist. When you're ready to play a new game, pick one from your wishlist, buy it, play it.

The games aren't going away, they're not going to run out of digital copies. Why would you ever buy it before you're ready to play it? It doesn't matter whether it's sitting in your wishlist or your hard drive, so let them sit in your wishlist, where it's a lot cheaper for them to sit.

(Okay, sure, games go on sale on steam occasionally, and you might want to pick one up while it's on sale. Even then, though ... games tend to get cheaper over time as they get older. Just waiting and buying it later might ultimately be cheaper than the 'on sale' price.)

Man, I still eat like shit, but when I switched to drinking only water (instead of mainly soda/juice), I was easily able to lose the excess weight that had been building up.

No other changes. Just drink water. Only water. Water is good.

I keep a pitcher of cold, filtered water in the mini-fridge by my desk. That shit is delicious. And I don't even miss anything. If you're struggling with the switch to water, get yourself some good water.

but there is no epidemic of white people being killed

Eh...

Sure, not white people in particular. But the cops do kill an awful lot of people. And plenty of those people are white. POC have a worse 'epidemic', to be sure, but that doesn't mean 'there is no epidemic of white people being killed'.

Yes. It's purely reactionary against BLM.

What do "all lives matter" people stand for? What do they protest for? What are their demands?

They have nothing. It's just a big "Nuh-uh! What about me?" to BLM.

I like how the car's lights are still on and working.

Just appreciating some good engineering, that's all.
