That’s language code em, emoji. There’s a bunch of real languages in the top-right corner.

Fun fact! The Pullman bread loaf shape gets its name from the Pullman company. They didn’t just innovate on bread shapes to make packing more efficient, however. They also saved money by harvesting the tears of their bakers and using those to season their bread.

IIRC, the Steam releases of those are already using Scumm.

I saw an ad for ESPN via YouTube TV on YouTube today…

Amazon is doing some markup, but there’s also been a bunch of price increases. 5gal BIBs are over $100 now.

It’s still pretty cheap when you consider that that BIB produces 35 gallons of soda.

Being released at the same time as the significantly more modern (and unpopular) Unity didn’t do Rogue any favors.

No, Rockstar outsourced a ‘remaster’ of the early 3D games that was poorly handled.

Norway’s wealth is rooted in oil. They have intentionally positioned their investments to profit from shifts away from oil so that they can profit either way.

Tesla was the electric car stock for a long time. It’s a prominent face of the anti-oil shift.

SR4 was also way better written and acted than it had any right to be.

Outlook’s own reaction handling is terrible. It adds the reaction icon to the email, but it doesn’t mark it as unread or bring it to the top. The next day, I get an email with all the reactions for the day.

“Available for a meeting at 9 tomorrow?” 👍

Then the daily digest shows up at 9 and the meeting was never scheduled.

The thing I love about both Fringe and Eureka is that they understand that TV science will always be bullshit and choose to lean hard into it.

Their argument is that “reproductive cancers” are covered, but that breasts are only a “reproductive organ” on women.

Cruel and pointless.

I always go France or Korea. Base walking Grand Cannons or spamming Black Eagles.

You don’t understand! The public gave them a mandate, but Democrats stole enough seats to take control anyway! From the shadows!!!

I really like Mardi Gras Mustard. It has the balls to be mustard, not honey mustard.

Neural networks are deterministic. In LLMs, it outputs probabilities, which are picked from via seeded RNG. Image generation tries multiple options based on different seeds, then picks the best fit as identified by a neural network and repeats. For both, if you give a specific model the same inputs, you’ll get the same output.

The public-facing interfaces don’t give seed control, which means they give a different output each time, but that isn’t an inherent property of generative AI.

Generative AI is too. Maintain your seed and you should get the same result every time.

Most of the SaaS AI tools don’t expose control over their RNG, but some self-hosted ones do.

I mean, the guy didn’t know that water and ice are the same thing.

The summaries I find reference him theorizing that water may be spherical, leading to the hexagon pattern. He also related the feathery ends to steam hitting a cold window.

It seems to me that he knew that steam, water, and ice were the same thing.

They would have to be charged by… the DOJ.

You suck the pixies into a tube and spit them out elsewhere. As long as the de-pixied space is sealed off from the space where you release them, you can continue repeating the process until the pixie level is reduced to the desired amount.
