What's especially troubling is that my rig and many others can run games like Cyberpunk 2077 in full path tracing at 4K, but apparently not Windows 11


Likewise. 3950 cpu, 32gb ram, 2080 GPU. This runs everything 1440p just fine.

The system was built 6 years ago but things just haven't moved fast in hardware. It doesn't have a TPM 2.0 module though so no Windows 11. One nice thing about that fact is that i never get the upgrade nags since it fails compatibility checks.

Part of me is hoping we get some third party OS patches if anything major crops up. This has happened for previous versions of Windows.

I plan to continue running this as-is past October 14. If something serious enough does crop up with no third party mitigations or fixes I'll move to Linux. I could technically install a TPM 2.0 module on the motherboard but i don't want to. Not enough benefit to me as someone that's never installed malware (I'm extremely cautious about what i allow to run on it to the extent of not running various binary distributed game mods).


Not a fair comparison. Hardware security device has nothing to do with general compute power. It's like saying "What do you mean 'my Ferrari is not a good firetruck'??? It can go 0 to 100 in 4 seconds!"


start small or fail big


You can't start carving exceptions into a universal principle like “everyone deserves a fair trial.”


Bipartisan politics decided some even legal immigrants aren't 'people' afforded bill of rights reserved to 'people', when the gun control act of 1968 was passed. The 'but muh amendments all use people differently' argument to bypass that is laughable.

It's already quite settled civil rights aren't universal because immigrants aren't people, and those rights were ascribed almost entirely to citizens, people, or the various government entities.


I don't get it. Stay on the version that you still think is good. Nobody forces you to update. Just don't update Hugo if you don't need its new features? We're talking about a static HTML generator here, not some backend server that needs security updates. Why is it so complicated for people to NOT do a thing?


For example, homebrew will auto-update your formulae by default. If you install it with homebrew, you may not have ran `brew pin hugo` and it gets auto-updated.


They don't really override each other but they act like stacked barriers, like a garage door blocking access to an open or closed car. Access is granted if every relevant layer allows it.


I think you are referring to the 'ask follow-up questions' toggle in the settings but it's not available on all devices to turn it off.


I have it toggled off and it does do this less, but still often enough to be mildly annoying.


I use them a lot... Next I'll have to write like an asshole because AIs tend to be nice. :)


Disappointed you went with ellipses above when you could have emdashed!


Emdashes are for embedded asides not deserving of relegation to parentheticals. You'd need text to follow; it's not just for pausing.


It generates more engagement than a monotonous tone.


If only there was something in between the two.


AI accents are incredibly good these days, especially eleven labs. ChatGPT is not a leader in this. I spent about $20 on this before just because I like the sound of its voice.


Grief is complex and deeply personal, and is not about fitting someone else's expectations... Losing a dog hits different because their presence is so genuine and uncomplicated. They provide unconditional comfort. That connection is usually way less complicated than the ones with have with people.


Let's add conformity to (wrong? IMO totally) social/religious rules like "you cannot divorce". Because if your spouse passes away, either young or when it was their time so to speak, and you aren't genuinely sad, well, why were you two still together? If you spent a happy life together with someone, you should be sad even if they passed away serenely, because hey, it was the person with whom you shared and lived almost everything. If instead you were still together but actually secretly hating each other, or just because "it was always like that", well, the marriage should have not lasted til that point. If it did, it was most probably due to social rules to follow no matter what and/or patriarchy. And if it was a young person, well, even more! A young loss should generate even more grief. And the "real man" part...well, I think it explains itself.

I understand this can come off as simplifying too much but I believe it boils down to those reasons in the vast majority of cases. So, there can be exceptions of course but they are a minority.


It's not that at all... Similar drawings of non-humanoid shapes like an ostrich or the map of Europe would have resulted in the exact same 'blindness'.


This is not obvious to me, and nor should it be to anyone who didn't program these AIs (and it probably shouldn't be obvious even to the people who did). I think you both should try testing the hypothesis and present your results.
