Fair enough, though I’d argue that it’s difficult to get much closer to the real thing without signing a contract. As the old lie goes, “Dulce et decorum est, Pro Controller mori.”

That’s a pretty broad statement to make given that of the seven bestselling video game franchises of all time (Mario, Tetris, Call of Duty, Pokémon, GTA, Minecraft, and FIFA) only one (Call of Duty) is a realistic simulation, one (GTA) coul

I think somebody who doesn’t know the full difference between uranium and plutonium definitely shouldn’t be having any.

The fig Newton was invented first though. Seriously though, it’s a bit of an amusing coincidence that the Leibniz biscuit and the fig Newton were both independently invented in 1891 (at least according to Wikipedia).

I mean, I just copy/pasted that into ChatGPT with no other instructions or context, and it seemed to handle it pretty well: This NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) establishes a temporary restricted area within the Dnipropetrovsk FIR (Flight Inf

I wouldn’t have seriously asked him for a selfie while we were both trying to get through passport control after a 12-hour flight. It’s just a little bit of a bummer that I have no way of confirming that I actually did randomly run into Don

Are toothpaste and batteries really daily necessities though? I buy toothpaste maybe once every two years in bulk, and batteries basically never, due to pretty much everything being rechargable via USB.

Any embarrassingly parallel task can scale almost infinitely by throwing more resources at it.

Reminds me of that joke about the guy who is on trial for killing a bald eagle, and he tells the judge that it was a life-or-death situation: He was lost in the woods, and after several weeks without food he luckily happened upon a bald eag

There is a sample on the page, but the difference is that scale preserves the original bounding box of the object, but zoom doesn’t. So with scale, the layout of the page won’t change at all. If you make it smaller it will just pad it with

Where are you getting that measurement from? A fifth is 750ml, basically a standard sized bottle.

> His openness about his history of drunking wasn't ideal and did damage his credibility. That’s a euphemism if ever there was one. He was a raging alcoholic, and his alcohol consumption (which he denied entirely) accounted for pr

That’s as may be, but if Spurlock is a fraud then you need to provide more substantial evidence than whatever Spurlock says. That’s kind of the point I was making, actually. Supporting your thesis with evidence from a known and provable lia

Hmm. After Spurlock lied through his teeth in his first film, why would anyone trust him ever again?

On the other hand, your use of descriptors such as “American indoctrination camps” and “zombies spouting left-wing talking points” does not make it seem like you’re particularly open or receptive to “spirited debate”. These are not “civil”

Wow, looks really cool! But, uh... WTF is this, exactly? Wait, they answered that: > ESXDOS aims to be the ultimate firmware for the DivIDE/DivMMC interface. Oh. So, uh, WTF is this, exactly?

Oh, good to know. I get so many of these political spam messages that my default response has gone from just ignoring them to sending nasty replies in the hopes of demoralizing the jerks who think it's okay to send me nineteen messages

Sadly, the most unrealistic thing about A Mind Forever Voyaging is that in the end, once the evil politician's master plan is revealed, he is disgraced and loses his job. Were it representative of real life, it would become a campaign

I don’t think those are actually bots, unfortunately. There’s a law preventing automated text messages, but there’s a loophole if the message is sent by an actual human being. So campaigns and PACs just get teams of volunteers to send out m

I suspect this would probably be counterproductive, for a couple reasons. First, you’d be encouraging people to take on a second job with all of their free time, which would lead to more overall stress. But I think you’d also see a reductio

The defective Xeon was in a 2009 Mac Pro, so it would have been a Westmere-era processor. Even though I was certain the problem was a bad core, the guy at the Genius Bar refused to believe it was the processor. He finally grudgingly agreed
