I use it to deal with my anxiety.

I don’t trust benzos in the slightest. Especially so after reading the horrors of this thread.

That was pretty tough in that day and age. Especially from pirate sites.

mIRC had some good servers but getting someone to keep a direct connection with you for that long was problematic too.

And then if you didn't have a dedicated phone line for the modem...

Also - the playerbase is sometimes ok with buggy games; for example - the first ARK game was a buggy nightmare, but it was still awesome and fun (it used the unreal engine visual development system...)

Especially if we aren't committing code back into public places for LLMs to ingest and use.

I think from an efficiency standpoint it's almost always better to use something already battle tested and used in the open than rolling your own; regardless of leveraging LLMs or not.

They have been getting replacement MiG-29s and Su-25s from allies and are starting to use f-16s from NATO nations.

"A coalition of NATO countries, primarily the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Belgium, are providing F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. The United States authorized the transfer and is providing training and spare parts, with deliveries having begun in 2024 to strengthen Ukraine's air force against Russia."

So yes, they still have an airforce. They're just getting re-supplied.

Also the Ukrainian airforce was ULTRA conservative about sorties to make sure they conserved as many fighters as possible.

Basically the worst possible thing.

the webgpu model in my browser on my m4 pro macbook was as good as chatgpt 3.5 and doing 80+ tokens/s

Local is here.

I had a bad feeling we were basically already there.

If you want that sort of reliability it will probably go towards 100$.

You can barely even use FB messenger (you need to get messenger-lite).

I only know this cuz tmobile would give you free 2g all over europe. it was JUST BARELY helpful. mostly just sms and email.

google maps was unusable etc. This only got worse over the years.

They now give you free 3G and it's bearable. 2G is insanely slow in the 2020+ world.

2G ~= 5 KB/s. That means 40 seconds just to download a properly optimized react bundle.

5MB site? 16+ minutes.

Agreed on everything you said. Just wish there was a more efficient way to do things :/

If they hide how the tool is accessing files (aka using tokens) and then charging us per token - how are we able to track loosely what our spend is?

I’m all for simplification of the UX. But when it’s helping to hide the main spend it feels shitty.

Game industry in general pays like shit - japanese software engineering pays even worse, so double negative modifiers on salaries in this comparison.

A lot of people are more comfortable with a shared experience objective. This provides a means to do something and a reason behind meeting.

If you are always in the mindset that you are giving and everyone else is taking that can really impact how you perceive everyone. And 9/10 most people over estimate how much they give and under-estimate how much they take.

There is also something powerful with "I _get_ to take my new friend to a place I find cool" rather than "My new friend is using me to go to my cool place". Changing the way you internally frame things drastically helps.

I know it sounds absolutely stupid hogwash but it helps.

I hope this helps!

Totally agree with you.

Venezuela has a substantial amount of heavy crude oil. which the USA is good at refining. Shocking.

"Your GraphQL HTTP server must handle the HTTP POST method for query and mutation operations, and may also accept the GET method for query operations."

Supporting body in the get request was an odd requirement for something I had to code up with another engineer.

tip of the iceberg.
