Should this also be cross posted to the Steam magazine? I would do it but I don't know how...or IF I can do it being on kbin...

Why is it called a shower? Is it related to showering someone with gifts?

It really seems overblown to me. Maximum hype with minimum actual results delivered. Not saying it is useless, but I don't think we're going to see entire professions eliminated overnight as is being predicted.

I really think calling it "artificial intelligence" is a stretch. It's guided pattern recognition which can do some flashy things but is not intelligence any more than parroting speech is.

Plenty of sizzle, very little beef. What will be the next flavor du jour?

Depends how much I need to concentrate. Heavy concentration requires music without lyrics so that is classical with some concentration in classical guitar for me.

If I just want some music, then heavy metal and/or rock of most flavors. Sometimes that will be www.hardradio.com .

I have a percentage of my CDs ripped and on my PC so often I'll just randomize everything in VLC. I do still spin my discs sometimes too in the 2 portable CDs players I have near my desk.

In summary: It's complicated.

ETA: I recently discovered these videos with no lyrics heavy metal. Held my interest for a little while. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hours+of+no+lyrics+metal+music&pn=1&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dl4fnaKBmt9k

I like to add grey poupon to potato salad because even if it is a mustard potato salad it is usually not a strong enough mustard.

Not sure the youngsters are going to understand.

Does anyone know what the implications are for Vanadium?

Well duh. Of course the robots will eliminate the competition. How else will we get skynet?

The simple answer I'm seeing on a quick review is that it is a way to simplify the complexity of the many possible nouns that could be uttered.

"LA pap"
"LE pep"

These are imaginary words but the articles will help distinguish them from each other for a native speaker. They sound similar but I know it was "pap" and not "pep" because I also heard "la".

Also, gender is just ONE of the many possible dimensions used by noun classes in language. There are also things like size and animate/inanimate that are used by languages.

That is doubleplus ungood!

That was interesting, but I think this explains it a bit better.

ETA: Good wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammaticalgender

ETA: Lots more info, including interesting papers:

I think HD quality that I get sometimes on my cell phone is as good.

Even landlines were "tuned" to the audio frequencies that voices use. So they were also not full range audio.

But I do agree that overall it seemed like landlines had better audio quality.

Do you recommend any particular card for 0%? Looking to do a balance transfer.

I get that people don't like the smell of pot and/or cigarettes but is there actual harm from a breath or two of it occasionally? I suspect it is negligible.

Killing apps? It closes them when they're running or uninstalls them?

I bought Pixel 8 for about $650 and installed GrapheneOS on it. Pretty happy so far.

Interesting. Do you have a link?

I said I could, not that I would.

No, DrSatan. I never do that.

But now I will, starting with YOUR post!
